Lupe Fiasco - LightWork (feat. Ellie Goulding, Bassnectar)

[zseelinger]

only listen to this for the very talented Ellie

[arnbassbaritone]

@zseelinger Who cares?

[bumblebeevb11]

What's that little red smudge next to the like bar?

[meamud]

Is Lupe's part in this song sampled from one of his songs? If so, can anyone tell me what it is?

[easasuke12]

wtf? 37dislikes who can not like this song!!

[1kar4life]

listening to Lupe simply bleacches all the negative vibes

[Cinco1Ocho]

Lupe goes hard as FUCK! FNF UP... One of the very few real original artists left in a world of reruns

[Rbizzle93]

touch more souls then a dance floor lupe always spitting real rap

[254peace]

@Rbizzle93 yep, my favourite line. its so deep.

[Dreamsreallystoned]

BASSNECTAR

[chancedunlap]

might get some hate for this comment but lupe is the modern day tupac, hes better in my opinion. both had/have such a good attitude

[nataliemercedes]

how do you even dislike a song like this?

[rodriguezsergio816]

the respective king of dubstep, Bassnectar, one of the current queens of pop, Ellie Goulding, and all around hip-hop genius Lupe Fiasco, all thrown together on a massive track that combines the best of all genres

[RE4L72]

gotta love Lupe

[smokemeimdope33]

[RicR]

Lupe is the greatest alive.

[HBXownerNOR]

Rum pum pum, yup! :P

[xt3nd3dclipz]

"Illuminate my Culture"... you already know what hes talking about... its real.

[ahr336]

Every song on this mixtape is great and each have their own message that displays his abilities. I mean, even the introduction has meaning

[viciousgangsta]

"Uncover undercovers turn those maids to Bubba's mother"

I think that's a reference to Forrest Gump where after Bubba died, Forrest created the shrimp company in Bubba's honor and got very wealthy off of it and gave a share to Bubba's mother (who was a maid) and the rest of the family. 

[sking8]

@viciousgangsta Very nice pick up

[MrSiLvErBaCk1983]

Great track, along w/ Joaquin Phoenix and Supercold

[lakriminalistika]

is dj fiasco????

[THEdejaPAGE]

greatness

[SPdot05]

Life Death & Love from San Francisco is probably Lupe's lyrical ability and flow at his finest on the mixtape

[Weqqz]

"My only promise is I'll never ruin the young"

Good for you Lupe. You have morals unlike most mainstream rappers. Sex, violence, greed, all that shit gets old. Positivity > Negativity. If only people realized how powerful our words and thoughts are.

[devchoudhary24]

what uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp­ppp!!!!!

[TheSupadub]

Lupe back,So Cold,SLR, the whole friend of the people mix tape is just the best thing ive heard in a while

[YoSoyMuyImpaciente]

Luu! Friend of the people...

[forthosewholovemusic]

this is amazing!!!!!!!!

[doyoubelivethehype]

50 thumbs up, and I will burn some pubes and snort them, then put up a video for proof!

[OfficialInitial]

"NEW GANG ALERT: #Occupy!!"

Lupe is fuckin amazing.

[TypicalIslanderIvan]

LAZERS

[smokemeimdope33]

flip the script on chicks who think their shit smells like perfume shops.helping girls find beauty without a magazine or movie like she delila with a 45 or keisha with an oozzi i know thats contradiction wants and needs in competion but its hard to stay on point with such extremes in oppisition!!!!

lupe the best to ever grab a mic.period!!!

[ilovekrayonz]

whats the dubstep song that is the instrumental to this song?



[bktilow]

@ilovekrayonz its by ellie goulding called lights

[MrSpencerburk]

its sad when an artist is good as lu has to put out all his best stuff on a mix tape because a record comp has toooo much creative controle over their artists. this more like sparta kick you down a well kid

[MrSolidSlab]

@MrSpencerburk

So true

[spudgun3000]

oh.my.god.

[NathanEG217]

This is good but the original is still awesome

[BrassAL7229]

"Only way I settle is if we wrestle over everything".  Best hook in this song. lyrical genious or genious altogether. Holding down the last bit of hope for hip hop.

[RicR]

Love Always Shines Everytime Remember to Smile

[vancon11]

So wat are goin to stand for...

[mrc941]

so i made a cd with various songs and my girlfriend likes drake so she blasts the drake song on there. when this song comes on she changes it and says "that wack shit"...so sad tht people can love fake music like tht and dont appreciate real music like this!!!

[ThisIsOvertone]

@mrc941 Sounds like you need a new girlfriend.

[mrc941]

@ThisIsOvertone lol i gave it a thought lol

[MrSweetSheets]

@mrc941 you need a new girlfriend.

[dpalm789]

[Whatgoinonupinhere]

[MrSolidSlab]

Honestly the whole mixtape is ridiculous from the skit to last verse of the End of the World. FNF up

[askarana]

When i listen to Ellie Goulding singing in this song it automatically give me goosebumps

[2323Leo]

[potatoeization]

I LOOK UP THER CALLING CALLING ME

[imactuallyaklingon]

wow.. was a huge Lupe fan pre-lasers...didn't really like the general direction that his music was taking with the new album. But this is really quite good.. as always his lyrics are on point and philosophically loaded. and maybe the fact that I already dig Ellie Goulding's Lights helped as well. :p

[kabol69]

@imactuallyaklingon he is the voice of the black man pain we all feel admit it or not. this man can bring tears to the hardest of those who say they have no feelings."the wanna be fiascos" i been there and i am "my brothers keeper"

[jahizluvm1]

@CurbStompYourBaby  yea isnt Trebel Trouble that old school game that came out in the 80s?

[jahizluvm1]

@jahizluvm1 you know what...HAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE WRONG DUDE HE DOOOOOOES SAY TROUBLE TROUBLE.....DAM MAN, DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE U CORRECT SOMEONE,,,,I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED THAT ISH...SMH....YEAH, LIKE I SAID, "BERNIE MAC" CUZZ )

[jahizluvm1]

[NeatNetwork]

Listening to this before the New Years!

[theisoganders]

@NeatNetwork why...?!

[SmileyReborn07]

One of Lupe's best verses !

[AphrodisiacAnecdotes]

I'm not gonna waste time arguing over a point i wasn't even stating, just sit back stfu and listen to lupe's song, if you don't like it fuck you, if you do obviously your good people. Enjoy.

[Teejhetics]

proceed with that conscious eye,

new gang alert: #occupies

[thatboiQuan88]

lupe that nigga

[breezygrlll]

Lupe Fiasco is an underated rapper. People dont understand that his music real and actually has meaning. He should be up there with Drake Jay-Z and Kanye

[r3sp3ctdaf3mal3s]

@breezygrlll LOL you just named some of the worst rappers ever. lupe fiasco should be up there next to 2pac not shit rappers like drake jay z and kanye haaa

[breezygrlll]

@r3sp3ctdaf3mal3s umm no ...

[MrImpedio]

I truly, honestly, 100% believe that Lupe Fiasco is the hands down greatest Rapper out today,

[LyonRacing]

@MrImpedio he had almost nothing to do with the creation of this song.. So okay.

[Ginga]

@LyonRacing

Who cares? The guy commented on Lupe as a rapper.

[MrImpedio]

@Ginga :) Thanks.

[MrImpedio]

@LyonRacing I know, Ellie Goulding did the original song, Bass nectar remixed it, Then Lupe rapped over it.

Awesome composition!

[bballgaines14]

I like them both(:

[christain1985]

wayne aint on lupe's level how can you compare them!!!!

[TheHitez]

@christain1985 you obviously didnt get the gist of what he was saying

[shikamarurules12]

@TheHitez I'm pretty sure he was saying Lupe is better than Wayne.

[badestboy4life]

"This is more like sparta, Kick you down the well" looooooooool

[Elisa35510]

Dope

[WACHULUKNAT]

yeah this song is much better without lupe fiasco

[TheEnlightenedMonkey]

Lupe I wont let these pussys push you out of your top spot you deserve it way more then these souless rappers. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT & THE CORRUPT MUSIC INDUSTRY! #OCCUPYFOREVERUNTILLPEACE

[buffduck420]

Fucking terrible. Surefire way to ruin a good song? Put a rapper on it.

[SaBeRxNaTiOn]

Lupes amazinnnn 27 ppl is gay as hell

[chaharls]

@SaBeRxNaTiOn *are, Lupe is amazing* people*

and sexual orientation has nothing to do with someones taste in music you ignorant fuck

[SaBeRxNaTiOn]

@chaharls Amazing** who gives a fuck. i obviously said it on purpose...U IGNORANT FUCK. who the hell are u? my fucking language arts teacher?

[chosenxeno]

LOL@ People saying Lupe sold out. Really? SMH.

[gavpac911]

c4>lasers

s4tw>fotp

[gavpac911]

he sold out more than wayne and wayne fucking blows

[krazydice1]

@gavpac911 Wow...like really...Wow!

[gavpac911]

lupe fell of lyrically as much as he did artistically. hes just simplistically rants about shit he does not understand over shitty dubstep and then tries to blame it on atlantic. used to be a potential great, now hes the ultimate sellout

[chosenxeno]

@gavpac911 LOL yea his Lyrics suck now*sarcasm*. He's rapping on Dubstep beats on a mixtape toy prove a point. Do you listen at all? If you did you would hear him allude to people spitting "meh" over jams of the year on their mixtapes. He said that on "Lupe's Back". A song on this mixtape that you have an opinion about but, clearly didn't give a good listen to.

[jspears19]

@gavpac911 KICK YOU DOWN THE WELL KID!!!!!

[jspears19]

@gavpac911 dubstep is cool kinda glad a hip-hop artist did rap over it

[dbz1creed]

ya gotta be drunk and alone "at the moment" to really listen to tha lyrics

[xSherbyx]

@dbz1creed What??????

[bbbbbbLunTeDDDDDDD]

is lupe still with atlantic records?

[walkerthomas105]

@bbbbbbLunTeDDDDDDD unfortunately... yes

[since789]

...Lyrics are super human to some, keep you pursuing the sum of:

slums + get up out of them + never forget just where you from + make sure that you ballin' when you come back up in them + we don't die

multiply every single come up, parump pum pum pum, yup!

Lupe love

[KHDTX13]

Thumbs up if brandon jennings brought you here!

[bittersweetkuri22]

@zamojcin If you say so...because you know me and all...

[Kusholification]

i used to listen to other rappers but then lupes music hit me like an arrow to the knee

[jahizluvm1]

@Kusholification alllready!

[Kusholification]

@CurbStompYourBaby ur such a dumbass thats just by the same channel

[galmon01]

Lupe > all these other so called "rappers" this generation.

[bittersweetkuri22]

@galmon01 Your sign is wrong. OMG. It should be Lupe < everyone else. 

[Mattan360]

@bittersweetkuri22 No, Lupe is not lesss than (<) everyone else, he is greater than everyone else.

[galmon01]

@Mattan360 Thank you. That's what im saying! I guess Lupe stays over their head like carry-on luggage.

[galmon01]

@bittersweetkuri22 Nooooo. You must dont understand his lyrics... smh. 

[bittersweetkuri22]

@galmon01 No. in school we were taught that X<C means X is eating C. Therefore by saying Lupe < everyone else, means he is eating (better than) everyone else.

[champ20nsMUFC]

@bittersweetkuri22 you're teachers must have been retards (no offence) because X<C means X is smaller than C... the bigger number/value is always at the side where the lines are furthest apart i.e 1<10... i wasn't expecting to be teaching a maths lesson when i clicked on this song lol

[galmon01]

@bittersweetkuri22 X<C means "X" is lesser. They are teaching you wrong... lol.

[AbysseYz]

@galmon01 Eminem earnt his spot too.

[remytron83]

@AbysseYz earned...

[jahizluvm1]

keep it real as trouble trouble huuuh! i bet that went over yo head....who he talking bout? ...Bernie Mac cuzzo

[jahizluvm1]

Lupe Fiasco never ceases to amaze me : )

[chillpillguy3]

listen to the whole song on 2x speed is sick

[NicknTroyProductions]

my team listens to this song everytime before a basketball game and it gives me goose bumbs. This song is too cool.

[MrReckyz]

I agree with DJAv3on1200s on the comment lupe fiasco on of the best rapper of all time too deep in lycris :)

[SKiiSMLIVE]

IDRA!

[DJAv3on1200s]

Lupe's finest.

[sakxox]

words can't even describe how good this song is

[MeZmoRiiZeXx]

As soon as F&L 2 drops yhu can jst tell drake to "Take Care"

[AphrodisiacAnecdotes]

@MeZmoRiiZeXx I don't think so, Drakes fan base is just as solid as Lupe's. If Fifty Cent and Kanye can drop theirs on the same day and not lose sells or fans, Drake and Lupe can is well. Seeing as in the both rap about completely different things, I've got take care and Friend of the People on my phone and i couldn't tell you which i like more. Lupe got the mental but Drakes songs touch my soul.

[fredmagic09]

This nigaa said:

"Yeah, touch more souls than a dance floor

While they touch less floors than a hand or

Ceiling fan or - wait, let me tell ya slower

Lift my fans up to the ceiling and you'll never touch the floor"

This guy is a fucking lyrical genius!!!!!

[tibetborneo]

luuuuuuuuuuuuuuupe damn

wow he killed it

[AphrodisiacAnecdotes]

If half the people who listened to lupe's music actually understood his lyrics and not just listening to see if it sounds "sick". Lupe would be at the top were he belongs. Cause lets face it, half of his listeners don't understand what he is saying they just try to vibe to it and not listening to what he is saying. An as soon as the feel that they get nothing from the song they say it's bad. Listening to lupe is like listening to wayne, you gotta listen to HIM not the sound to get the picture.

[Kusholification]

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes well said!

[WACHULUKNAT]

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes wait you think lil wayne is good PSSSSHHHHHHH

[AphrodisiacAnecdotes]

@WACHULUKNAT in order to know what little wanye is saying you have to actually listen to him. other wise you'll think he is just talking none sense. Now true comparing Lupe to wanye was completely unfair, since Lupe is in another league that few rappers even reach, I could have used Drake but then i risked turning it into a dispute of who liked who most lol. My comment wasn't about who was best but why Lupe is always going over alot of listeners heads. :)

[eZpZRaps]

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes you obviously dont listen to wayne closely either if you can say his shit has meaning. fuck young money and anybody who is affiliated with them, its not rap. you can say the style changed over the years but i dont give a fuck, it takes zero talent to speak on a mic like that. just remember, its Hip Pop, not rap.

[Bodyboardrr]

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes shut your fkn mouth, your opinion is not important neither relevant and never will be so fuk off and stop trying to think you know the dynamics of the 'game'

[MOON1388]

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes u gotta have a certain level of inteligence to even begin to understand the LU its to much for most

[buffduck420]

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes listen to the lyrics not the SOUND? This is a SONG. If he has something intelligent to say, he can write a poem. If it's MUSIC, it should SOUND good.

[theprofserb]

@buffduck420 hip hop is poetry in motion :P

i believe that was check sir

[jspears19]

@buffduck420 well this is a poem technically it just has rhythm to it.

[AphrodisiacAnecdotes]

@buffduck420 clearly your one of those who would rather the song just sound good and not mean anything. Just cause something sounds good doesn't make it good music, when someone writes poetry there is relevant meaning to the poem, not just cause it sounds good to them. Hip Hop in it's essences is the same way. with out relevant meaning all it is, is just the a sound you vibe to. A true artist knows that to reach his fans he has to SPEAK to the them through his LYRICS, NOT the SOUND. understand?

@AphrodisiacAnecdotes Lupe will never be like Wayne never compare them. LUPE IS WAY MORE GENUINE! Wayne sold out!
