[BIGMrighthere]

[hotshahzrulz]

@jamstamanify lupe > hopsin

[TheRawShank]

Inspire ppl through understanding pain and suffering specifically through music...lupe is poetic

[7mvproy]

The ghetto needed this one Thank You Lupe :)

[DjNegi]

[RaGInBaLLeR23]

[MZREALBYC]

[Tha3man]

Lupe's tha best

[eddie29trujeque]

LUPE SPEAKS THE TRUTH!

[from707to916]

this shit SLAP!

[rememberthename5]

this is such a fly beat...

akon killed it (Senegal)

lupe murdered it

ant created it

B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-C-E

[Sizila]

This is the Lupe I fell in love with, I'm not hating on LASERS because I like the tracks. But this is the 'real' Lupe we all heard rhyme his way into our hearts and souls. This dude is one of the realest and best to ever touch the mic.

[iggymic50]

@Sizila LASERS wasnt really him though. It was atlantic records making all of his shit sound mainstream

[ChicagoILLinois77312]

C.H.I. 4 LIFE!

Dis song HOT as fuck, i LOVE dis song

LUPE SPIT REAL shit like 2PAC..

[MusicPhene17]

Lupe is the TRUTH!

[MrGold8888]

but its beautiful here, YEA

[MrReddah]

Wish the new album sounded like this

[ChicagoILLinois77312]

man dis shit 2 RAW

CHI TOWN ALLDAY!

LUPE A PROBLEM

[freedomchicago]

Who the fuck is this "little wayne" guy that people compare other people to? If I don't know... Nice song. Hip Hop isnt dead. It went back underground. Where we keep it.

[blindfa1th]

Yeah Lupe is a lot better than Jay-Z, but mad respect for Jay Z cuz he helped Lupe get into a label, shitty or not and helped lupe publicize his album food and liquor and getting three grammies mad respect to both

[Adriangrosvenor]

the begining of the song just brings that reality home when the guy starts talking, damn the whoe song just moved me

[nuggetman24]

@Adriangrosvenor YOU AINT LIE HOMIE

[Adriangrosvenor]

@nuggetman24 Reality like that spoken is what the world is not ready for, many ppl sell drugs because their is not much options, everyone cant fly a rocket

[princetuck]

LUPE IS JAY-Z IF HE NEVER SOLD 5 MIL

[kweshhh]

@princetuck jay - z is a fag

[nailamos]

HES TOO REAL FOR REAL love coming from london (y)

[MisfitMROWW]

Lupes like the black shakespeare.

[sebslop]

Lupe is a reincarnation of Tupac, but with better lyricism.

[byrongilliam1]

@sebslop nah, Z-Ro is more like 2pac, Lupe is too unique to be compared to any other artists

[dirtyweasel]

Tupac and busy signal where im from.

[CGGolferstud09]

FUCKING AMAZINGGG

[HangGrenade01]

lupe version is sick anthony hamiltons version is flame too.

[SIZZZ408]

this song is dope as fuck...

[Adriangrosvenor]

this is one of the realest songs i have heard in a while, this mans sings about life, we should make real life expeiences popular in the world, giving each one of us hope that we can make it to see another day and we are not the only ones out their strugling in life, but the current music seen can make it seem that way, no one focussing on the social issues of society

[HiddenBenefactor]

Somebody pay this man I want another Album then another one..........then two more after that, then 3 more on top of those.....then 5 more then once I hear the new one that one tOo then I'm buy the next 8 releases oFF the JC= just cause +I'm buy  the mix tapes...... U wit me

[bedabucci]

lupe nice........a genius.really hood.

[Fiercefighter2]

this is such a chill song, yet really deep, no matter what background your from, everybody can appreciate this song, everyones got a hometown.

[TheSalesman64]

@maazy94 This not Akon. It's Anthony Hamilton "Coming From Where I'm From"

[maazy94]

@TheSalesman64 touche i never new that, guess akon has his own remix

[TheYoung1n]

this is some real shit

[SpartanCJS]

Is this an original beat or is this from another song? I know that some of the other beats on his mixtapes are from other/unrelated songs and artists.

[Bournemouthopien]

@SpartanCJS - Hey man, the beat is from another song; "Anthony Hamilton - Comin' From Where I'm From".

[djkappri]

@SpartanCJS Anthony hamotins(cant spell) song with the same name 

[ejfuc]

"And its real here/ dope fiends still here turn around give us the money to buy wheels here/ give you the chills yeah developers don't build here/ the property values low cause we still here"/ damn shit that hits home for real being a native on the rez i can relate to that verse FNF

[kpacalypse24]

this song made me really think about putting down dealing and doing something with my life. used to make about 1000 a week but one song and a good girl stopped me

[SHoulinBarBaRian]

This is something iCan always listen 2 cause iCan so relate 2 itt man .

[bptchargers]

they hearin me now especially when the consperacies come down-killuminati

[DatTrickayNiggaa]

can someone tell me how many official mixtapes lupe has put out?

[mcjdfasho7]

@DatTrickayNiggaa I think twelve man.

[maazlim]

Radio is too scared to play lupe stuff cuz if they did they realize tht ppl would wake up from their pointless lives and their consumerism and they dont want people to have morals so they dont stop buying beer, porn, and drugs.

[nextgen915]

@maazlim i agree completely, they would rather be yellin "WAKA" or sum1 whose even more garbage "SOULJA BOY TELL EM" i got 1 quick question though, wtf is soulja boy tellin em, i havent heard anythng yet

[704Represent]

@nextgen915 Soulja Boy don told em to superman dat ho.

[Xaldin1317]

@maazlim Ya know, There are so many faggots on youtube and in the rest of this world. I'm glad to see that there are musical warriors like yourself and Lupe. People like yall are the reason I still listen to hip hop. Thank you for your comment. And I agree with you entirely.

[mikekingshawty]

@maazlim couldnt have said it better myself

[FCastillo000]

@maazlim he's all over the radio right now.

sooo..

[DayCallMeQuad]

@FCastillo000 yea but its no the REAL lupe

[sho1oo]

@maazlim Couldnt have said it better my self.

[MUSIKizART911]

@maazlim

yuuppp i noticed how on tv they change his lyrics like on show goez on he says "so even if they ban us they neva slow my plans up" nd to me that says like he is sticking it to the man but on tv it doeznt say that itz changed i wonder why??

[complexbk777]

imangine if this song hit the mainstream and radio!!! damn lupe would of blown up a long time ago can't wait for the L.A.S.E.R.S. album. Thank GOD for lupe fiasco

[cck317]

"from the cradle to the grave.. we bring our sons UP to get gunned DOWN, and our daughters to have more.. it's war." <----- real shit. all you young heads, take notes.

[QDev3000]

Man Lupe goes so hard. Serious business, I dont understand why so many people sleep on him. If this dont make you a fan with the realness, you dont like music starght up and down. If you from the hood like I am then you feel where its comin from because you can relate to the lyrics of both A. Ham & Lupe.

[Bryanwhiteacre92]

This song gets to be its meaningfull lupes a top man

[Bryanwhiteacre92]

I met lupe fiasco on the streets of dublin hes a real sound guy got pictures with him and he tried to get us into his gig but we were underage.. Top bloke :D

[OxGman4x20]

its real here.

[CambattlerV]

lupe is 2 fuckin sick no rapper can touch em not wayne not shitty ass gucci mane, lupe would rap circles around them square ass niggas.

[Vroengard24]

@CambattlerV

Couldn't have said it better

[worde7]

y cant i find this song anywhere else??

[Vroengard24]

@worde7

Lupe is so unheard of. Good shit always is

[TheRawShank]

"but...but it beautiful here, it's nothing like the feeling when you do it from here...you don't have to mov a pack, you don't have to shoot a gatt but you still move your mamma away from here..." heard thus track a million times, I take alot of strength from it...big up lupe the prince

[DeRegulateRnB]

Lupe - Most underrated rapper, Anthony Hamilton - most underrated rnb solist. What a dream if they would collab!!!

[Aguywhomakesvids]

@DeRegulateRnB

How is he underrated?

Everyone knows about Lupe..

[getblue52]

@Aguywhomakesvids He is under rated. When was the last time you turned on the radio n heard lupe? probly never (except for kick push and super star, Which really werent even his best work) NO body will give him a chance because he raps about whats real, not money, clothes, and cars

[Aguywhomakesvids]

@getblue52

Tbh, who listens to the radio?

He is somewhat under-rated, but not the most under-rated rapper.

[DrugMoney843]

@Aguywhomakesvids He was at one point. Then, we listened.

[Sesh777]

@Aguywhomakesvids shad k. un-fucking-real

[V3RS4TYLEas3V3R]

@Aguywhomakesvids truly fam i have to contradict. yes everyone knows lupe but how often is his skill acknowledged? how often is he brought up in convos about bein at least one of the better rappers? how many of his songs get 10+ million hits on youtube? just sayn

[Aguywhomakesvids]

@V3RS4TYLEas3V3R

Still, not under-rated, just not main-stream. Which is a good thing.

[FCastillo000]

@DeRegulateRnB i guess this doesn't count as a colab..?

[DeRegulateRnB]

@FCastillo000 Exactly..!

[goresabeast]

no doubt Lupe deserves all the respect

[worde7]

i cant find this track anywhere else!!!!

[worde7]

Even though this came out a long time ago, this is my first time listining to the track and all I got to say is this is real talk no jokes no lil wayne or young money whoever. This is really going on in the streets of Chicago.

Lupe is the truth

[ATL404fila]

Listens to song , looks out window and sees everything Lu is saying

[a36rod]

Only people that actually listen to lyrics and methaphors will enjoy Lupe Fiasco.....Lupe Fiasco is one one off few artist that have not sold out....Lupe Fiasco is a music genious and i think people are going to find that out when he is retired.....Lupe Fiasco is the micheal jordan or hip hop....Lyrically he is on a league of his own....

[SpiderLocThaFuture]

this is real, the ones who compares him to weezy can go to hell, this guy are in a class of his own

[luvdah8ers]

Real music.... Real Talk...

[BTD21]

i agree with "jaydanfort". wayne is garbage

[Hodde401]

whats good just tryna get my music out here, i dont have another way so sorry for spamming, i got good shit and only gunna get better and i understand no ones to give anyone a chance but if you could check me out tell me what you think bad or good, add me, sub, or comment i really appreciate it, im from RI tryna put us on the map, im dropping a mixtape in about month just started all this recently

[shutthefuckuploser]

anthony hamilton + lupe fiasco=nice

[shenahdia1]

I don't like when people say that he doesn't get the recognition that he deserves. Seriously, who else do we want to recognize him? Don't we as his fans/supporters count as recognizing him? I'm just sayin...

[LBG070]

they mean that it ain't far that the dumb fucking music we hear on the radio and on tv gets much more recognition. personally i don't give a fuck. I know there will always be great rappers with a real message because they don't rap for cash, so it doesn't matter if they don't get radio play. also I don't give a shit what American suburbans teens who live in a bubble listen to. I'ma listen to what i like regardless

[MysticMoonGoddess67]

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it' who is going to stop me." - - Ayn Rand

[tarzanreloaded]

@MysticMoonGoddess67 that women opened my eyes.. I'm glad you know who she is.

[Zahbohra]

Lupe reminds me of Nas more than any other rapper... You cant compare Lupe to Em, Em is to different, too out there but one of the best none the less. Lupe is among the greatest rappers ive listened to and in my opinion getting better. FnF Up!

[homicide203]

@Zahbohra heel yea, lupe is tiop 5 waay better than jay z, if he stay at it hell be the next nas, like when all the vets die, heell be one of the best rappers alive

[ouzo0]

nas was top 3 greatest ever after his first album...lupes nice as hell but idk about next nas

[homicide203]

@ouzo0 mi sayiin after the vets die, hell be considerd one of the best ever... unless fags keep sucking weezys dick

[soulparallel]

@homicide203 i think what hurts lu is his beat selection tho on his albums, his wordplay, intelligence, ryhme patterns all are wit the greatest of em to do it. he has some good beats dont get me wrong, but they aint"classic tracks" heads would be spittin on. Food & Liqour was the closest wit the beats

[homicide203]

@soulparallel yea i feel yopu he could have hotter beats but his shits are already fire, check out his mixtapes but i feel you if he gets some sick dre kanyea or tim beats hell go sick but lypes not comercial so u wont here him spitting on those gay lil wayne beats he has REAL music un like whats played on the radio

[2tuffTino]

myspace/tino82

[walker7261981]

i would say he sounds like nas nothing like big or wayne wayne is a ignorant dude remember when he shot himself lol

[tribeshead]

No doubt. Lupe the Jedi representing hip hop to the summit.

[gartlefresh]

Lupe the Jedi at his finest. This is real talk Lupe keep it up

[subsufmonru]

He is not getting the recognition he deserves!! He is an amazing lyricist!! Mad talent!!....love to Lupe xXx

[jaydanfort]

i dont get it, sometimes lupe is compared to biggie! and other he is being compared to lil wayne! now no offence to lil wayne but his lyrics are sub par and he sounds like my ass when im taking a dump, some days he is compared to em who is already known as a record holder with most albums sold world wide (EVER) and em when he first started was told to dumb it down and he did, became a superstar, lupe is told to dumb it down and he says no im keeping it REAL AS! just saying!

[AFCJamesy]

@jaydanfort - Eminem didn't dumb down nothing, he's still one of the best lyricist around today, along with Lupe.

[ebag111s]

@AFCJamesy ManM's lyrics were dumbed down, compare his old with his new, you'll see, however he didnt dumb it down like... Drake

[AFCJamesy]

@ebag111s - I think the issue people have is more with the subject matter rather than the lyrics, i'll admit that they aren't as good as SSLP or MMLP but songs like Stay Wide Awake, Underground, 3 AM, My Darling, Deja Vu were insane.

[ebag111s]

@AFCJamesy Ill agree, he still makes some good stuff, but its not really the same, you know what i mean? its as if he doesnt try and make it lyrical or emotional

[AFCJamesy]

@ebag111s - Yeah yeah I get you, let's hope he's back to his true best on Recovery.

[ebag111s]

@AFCJamesy It would great, another rapper that i would truly enjoy

[laylay1990]

@jaydanfort they told me i should dumb down cousin but i flatly refuse i AINT DUMB DOWN NUTHIN!

[infamychit6wn]

seriously this boy does not get his full respect im not tryin to be bias cuz im from chicago my fellow tubers but if you get this brothers underground youll see where im comin from

[AugieGK4life]

@infamychit6wn ur right, lupe is sick. its not easy to be able to write like he does and convey the message the same way u want people to understand it

[vepulan7]

@infamychit6wn Lupe is the best.

[fudgyx]

@infamychit6wn I agree wit you 100 percent

[e10ish]

@infamychit6wn were can i find his underground stuff?

[producenotes814]

@e10ish hiphopdx.com is a good site wit a lot of underground artists and hip hop news

[nextgen915]

@infamychit6wn lupe is the shit, im from pa and his lyrics cant be matched, hes 1 of those rare rappers who is in his own category, there isnt 1 single rapper that u can compare him 2

[MultiMuchacho]

Anthony Hamilton and Lupe=Real HipHop

[Dru912]

Lupe!!!!!! Real muzik fa da skruggle

[yungdubble]

Did you even listen to what hes talkin about. This is some real shit.

[DopeBoyMagic66]

Do you even have ears? What rapper from the 90's didnt rap about drugs, they rap about where they come from, and how can you make that random comment when lupe isnt glorifying drugs or degrading women in the song? get real man.

Hip hop is alive, you just have to know where to look, just search for "Lupe fiasco" on youtube and you'll get some of the best rap ever

[trappedteen]

this beat is so hot. first heard it from the original song "comin from where i'm from" by anthony hamilton. i want to get a hold of this track and permission to release something on it

[jediton33]

you right this is still one the best beats to rap on

[TheCamisha1]

I love his music he sick no matter what any body say.

Yeah J and Em been around longer, but so what he still got time to make his name KNOWN so that people will remember him.

Lupe is still a beast no matter what Yall say

[stunnahish]

I like all the artist that actually have something different to say. they are creative with their style and that 's what makes them a real artist. Crooked eye needs more exposure, Nas is still one of the sickest, i wouild have to put eminem up there along with Common and yes, Lupe

[MrJoiner5]

how the fuck can anybody say eminem is the best rapper alive?? That's absolutely stupid, complete ignorance. Em isn't even in the discussion. he's not even the best white rapper! RA The Rugged Man and Diabolic are both light years ahead of em.

Anyway much respect to Lupe, he's always being true to himself and makes good ass music

[julchu0]

lupe is slept on way too much.

[NoQwestion]

@julchu0 you said it, bro!

[ewatson918]

this is nice

[snoopyalien24]

i cant believe he came from kanye west and asher roth from eminem

[MusicPhene17]

I will say this and I'm sure Ill catch a lil heat for saying it but Lupe IS the BEST rapper alive right now. He's above and beyond anyone and everyone out right now. Jay hasn't had anything new to say in forever and Wayne is caught up on Money, girls, and drugs oh and he's going to jail. Lupe puts out real stuff like this on the daily with a legit message behind it. Like hip-hop was originally meant to do

[snoopyalien24]

eminem and lupe should make a track or an album together, these are living legends and lupe doesnt get the recognition he needs

[SuperGangste]

exactly, the only living legends are eminem and jay in terms of being remembered years from now.. and so many rappers should be in place of jay.. lupe, kanye, drake, cudi

[carman726]

wat about nas one of the best better than jay in my opinion he changed the game

[SuperGangste]

yeah, hes a little before my time tho. and jay z would get remembered way before nas you have to admit

[00ghostcobra]

@SuperGangste Nas is superior to Jay..  No doubt... And you can add DMX to the mix as well...

[TeamGangGreen101]

@SuperGangste Do you listen yo Jay? Kid Cudi?Drake? C'mon man ask yaself when its all said and done if their catalogue will sound anything like his... None of these niggas have come close to Reasonable Doubt... Point blank....

[homicide203]

@TeamGangGreen101 jay is nice but lupes better his lyrics his word play all sick dont get me wrong resonable doupt was illl but thats his old shit jay was better but he sould out

[SuperGangste]

@TeamGangGreen101 ehh its a good album but for all the years hes been rappin, hes always materialistic.. girls, clothes, cars, money.. look at lupe

[TeamGangGreen101]

@SuperGangste Its a good album? You're bugging.. Ask Lupe what he thinks of Reasonable Doubt...

[MrBos617ton]

if em nd lupe did a colab their wouldnt b ne point for ne body to ever spit again

[AritHeru23]

@MusicPhene17 u must be referring to jay elect... i'm guessin... that's the only jay i know whose name might be in the same sentence as lupe's :D

[Ryhea1]

I totally agree. He is definitely up there in terms of lyrical content. Not to many rappers out there who raps like Lupe. Believe me if I owned a record label, he would defintiely be signed

[SuperGangste]

not gunna make an argument but just gunna throw mine in there.. fuck wayne and i like jay z, hes a legend and all but not even the top 5.. i love lupe, he is amazing but i gotta say eminem is the best rapper alive. kid cudi, drake, kanye, all up there. i mean everyone just looks at kanye as an egotistical rapper.. but hes definitely not worse than most.. someone explain it to me. anyways listen to late registration and its obvious he is amazing lyrically and up there

[themann454]

lupe consistently puts this caliber of music out, he's shittin on the game right now

[retterdernation]

luv it two very good artists in 1 song very nice

[ChiefWisdom]

Lupe is like the kid in class that took the time to explain to you how to solve the problem. You can tell he was raised by somebody with sense. Alot of these artists out here are raised and influenced by blabbering idiots. Feels good to see strong, wise black brethren.

[BIGERICDH]

we need more rappers like him!!!!!
