Lupe Goes Gold - The Coolest Surprise Party

[watsup018]

O_o Gold? Don't get me wrong I'm truly happy for him, but Lupe deserves better. It's sad how people would bought an useless album about money and shaking that booty go platinum or double platinum, but Lupe goes gold?? Lupe is actually a true artist compared to some rappers. I also think that this shows if you really like the artist BUY their albums instead "downloading" it.

[Mx954]

Great job Lupe im your biggest fan keep it up dont retire plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KidFlo369]

cant wait 4 lupend hope it goes double platinum

[tbaby673]

Lupe is the man! Keep speaking the truth sexy.

[the204cool]

lupe should ghost write for all them other rappers out there. lupe way above the game man the world ain't ready for him yet.

[xoxoJOHNxoxo]

Congrats Lupe!!

[passannante92]

on that note i personally believe that he is the single greatest artist of our generation.

go lupe

[DragonVeeku]

I cant help but smile when I see them all cheering him on.

[DiamondsnPearls85]

he was like caressing the side of the thing... lol

[UnlimitedProdiction1]

He deserves platnium in mu opnion but Nas Illmatic was seen as revolutionary album and Lupe is lyrically ahead of the game so the sales will catch up to Lupe. Congrats Lupe

[BrKlYNStUnnA]

i kno i bought this album, it shoulda went platinum.

LUPE one of the best mc's out there

[kunQQ]

Is that a triangle in the middle of the CD?. Hmm?

[nickatwork]

It's the symbol on the album cover.

[kunQQ]

Yep. I know this sounds ridiculous but it has been said that triangle symbolizes for illuminati too so i wouldn't think lupe put a golden triangle on his album cover? :D

[nickatwork]

I don't think he had a say in the matter as it was a surprise.

[kunQQ]

Yeah true, was a silly thought.

[Drea822]

Lupe for PRESiDENT [:)

[oldharve]

and thru all of his success, he still hasn't forgotten about his homie - Chill. that's a real dude for that alone

[helenaj22]

GO LUPE GO LUPE!!!!! I LOVE HIM OMG!!! i hope i meet him one day he's one of my heroes come to my 14th birthday party lupe 5;4;2009 you'd be the best bday prez ever!!!!

[jovipplz]

shoulda went diamond we need 2 spread lupe music especially lupend.

[JinsGin]

The Cool wasn't platinum? GODDAMN, Superstar topped the charts and it only went gold?

[nickatwork]

Illegal downloading...

Yep.

[fannie123]

I'm going to go buy both of his albums.

I usually just download but I'm actually go to support this artist because we need more role models like him.

COME ON EVERYONE LET'S SUPPORT THIS ARTIST!

[Master553300]

i already got the album.

[fannie123]

I love how he turned around and they had to pull back in there!!!!!!!

[niCORE45]

it makes me sick to see how much work a smart hip hop artist has to do to only go gold and these brainless dumb fucks like soulja boy, lil john and others are releasing dumbed down records and go (multi) platinum. he will never get the attention he deserves...

go lupe

[passannante92]

yea thats really messed up and all but its his intelligence that sets him apart from these other rappers and musically he is leaps and bounds ahead of them. He isnt in it to go triple platinum, hes in it to send a message and hes definately done that. i couldnt agree with you more about not getting the attention that he deserves but you can tell that doesnt bother him, he doesnt need or want the attention required to go multi platinum

[niCORE45]

for sure it bothers him. he already said that he wants to retire after "LupEND" cause he still has the feeling not being famous...

[SeeeeeeeeeK]

LupEND - Platinum

Whatever it is CRS are doing - Multi.

[lilremedy]

I agree with everything positive said in these comments about him cause im inspired...well again.

[yaybayv]

yEah luPe! go hEad. yU ouTshiNe wEezy cuZ yU staNd fOr moRe, nD da onlYy thinG weEzy stAnds fOr is wEed.

[JHits23]

Lupe is so sick he shoulda went double platinum he deserves so much mayne keep bringing good music

[keatgl11]

this makes me feel like an ass for downloading it

[blastofflovingly]

Then go out and buy it. I got the Food and Liquer on boot leg but I still plan to go out and get it.

[VerbaLInfluencE]

I can't wait for his next album...I gotta go buy food and liquor and his new album...whenever LupEND comes out ;(

[Stevee92]

new best rappper all times

[kirrakodak]

Congratulations! You deserve that and so much more. You're a breath of fresh air. Keep up the wonderful music, Lupe!

[Jaredt159]

blastoff hes just stuck on some fake ass loser hiphop like wayne..Lupe..One of the best now..

[blastofflovingly]

Damn skippy.

[kharailwitttak]

hes a faggot...

[blastofflovingly]

How can you legitimatly accuse him of being a himsexual?

[FamOnFam23]

hes real hip hop

[njaffar]

If Lupe promotes his music as much as Kanye, then Lupe will get all the Grammy Awards. I like both Kanye and Lupe, but on the songs that both Lupe and Kanye are in, Lupe outshines Kanye: Touch the Sky, Everybody Nose Remix, and Us Placers. As for Lil Wayne, how many Grammys did he win...uh...0. That says it all.

[Wordlaw50]

Lupend will go platinum watch it when I tell u

[JPBRocker]

i cant WAIT till LUPend!

[DkMonster12]

WHO CANT!?!??!

[blazey20]

You deserved it man. One of the greatest hiphop records put out. Tupac nas big l andso on would be proud of you.

You shoulda went double platinum.

[nimaalavi23]

you deserve it man..saw you at koko in london put on an amazing performance hope to catch one of ur shows again..later

[LilLuke2021]

Best album eva. Great job, bra

[Louie91ItSmEsNiTcHeS]

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eroonee804]

well done man

u derserve it! haha hes so cute

[Pistonsfanforlife09]

GO LUPE

[Pistonsfanforlife09]

LUPE RULES anytime a lil wayne song come up i say wat da hell iz he sayin lupe just doesnt get dat much attention like lil wayne i never hear lupe songz on da rdio

[trakstarbeats]

for real though

[weezy1392]

ya but it took wayne a while to get where he is, hes been makin songs since he was 13 now hes just gettin his big break

[HunchyPoo]

lol, stop sticking up for a person u have never met before.Lil wayne talks about how he was slangin rock n shit!fuck that!he was rich as hell by the time he was 15.he had no time to bang. he just fake as hell.

[mgn1990]

You earned it man, Congrats on The Cool going Gold

[shoulderp]

I totaly agree with the last two comments, especialy with the last one exatly how I would have put it. But I did not buy the cd. Should have. You rock Lupe.

[thebign00b]

The reason why I like Lupe so much is because he's not just a great rapper, but he's also an intellectual. He puts actual thought into his music, and he thinks about his influence on people, rather than all that other stuff out there.

[lotrlegolas92]

this is the only cd i've ever paid for (bought it opening day too) because i think he truly deserves my money

[franciso7]

man me too...thats crazy

[danielmerrick105]

dude we all in da same boat then

got mines straight from dtlr

[trombonefellow]

Hell yeah, same here

[64jockin]

Lupe F. deserves this, no even better. Yes he is the best

[pandc4L]

yo right now Lupe is the hottest rapper in the game and he never raps about hoes and how much money he has..and i agree with raven332 this album should have done much more than just gold...and as far as weezy goes, weezy is garbage compared to Lupe!

[hotbluchiq]

INDEED!!!

[tjmack010]

Ppl, I just looked at his sales world wide, he's almost platinum, about 100,000 copies or less to go, if u don't have the album yet, buy it, don't download it.

[Oriondaranger]

That album truly was amazing, I marched the to the store with my friends to buy that CD.

[jordanballz]

lupe is the best becuse hes real and he dont fake who he is to sale records.and alot of rappers do and theres so many lies that people

really dont know what the fuck is going on.

[Raven332]

That album should have gone triple diamond in my opinion.

[ballai333]

Lupe Went in on this albumn i finr a new concept everytime i lsten to the cd love it my fav albumn eva!!!...

[KRENIN76]

damn i bought the cool right afta school on dec 18th it had huge hype @ school

[msandre10]

signs.... I LOVE LUPE!!! marry me?

[REDDEN2123]

fuck alil wayne how a faget ass dude kissing bite'n ass rapper gone sell a mill..but my nigga lupe the iilest since jay to do it only gold gold......bullllllllllllll shiiiiittttt..

wake up ppl LUPE FIASCO IS THE BEST RAPPER OON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW..POINT BLANK...

BIG UPS TO LUPE

FNF

IM OUT

[KRENIN76]

di yu kno mtv bought a couple thousand copies of his album

[afreeman69]

Big up to Lupe on his success!Him going gold (should be platnium or more no doubt)lets him know that people out there want some real Hip-Hop,not Hip-Pop.Nuff respect due Homie!

[metallicadrian]

im surprised aT myself

im am a huge heavy metal fan

but i found that lupe fiasco is a really amazing rapper

id rather listen to this then the other stuff dat everybody else is into

i support his philosophy

[itube899]

It Shouldve Went Triple Platinum!

[kuyabubblez34]

i hav always been a hip hop head and at the time b4 lupe was huge i was listening to MF Doom. when i heard kick push i knew lupe had the coolest persona in the mainstream rap. wat struck me was that the singles followin that werre all mellow ATCQ feels [which was great]. now w/ the cool out... lupe's waaaay ahead of any rapper i can imagine land and sea. just listen to his song "The Coolest" and you'll c wat i mean

[funkiducki]

I wish you went platinum!! You are the only artist I feel guilty about when it comes to downloading music off of Limewire... ((shame))

[Twan277]

It shouldve went platinum cuz this is one of the best albums i've ever listened 2.

GREAT JOB LUPE! U KEEPIN HIP HOP ALIVE!

Cant wait 4 LupEnd

[outlawzarab]

Even if it's just gold and not platinum, It's actualy a good thing, meaning people still do want to listen and buy good hiphop, instead of that crappy shit. Lupe Fiasco one off the best artist out there, keep the postive and complex lyrics in your songs man. Your one off the best..

[datboyfluffy]

nas

lupe

[Underdogjoe]

he shoulda went platinum, no other artist out there deserves to go platinum like Lupe does

[benandreas369]

When he talked about how he got letters from people who were going to give up on their lives, but that this record kept them going and made them stronger... That is how it affected me. I didnt want to kill myself, but whenenver I was feeling down about my 3.5 yr relationship and how it ended, I put "the cool" in or "food and liquor" in my boombox, and I felt so damn good about myself and what I can accomplish in life.

Thank you Lupe.

[lockose]

nicely said (:

[kikiorr]

my favorite songs are in order from first favorite to last, of these:

1.go baby

2.superstar

3.kick, push there could be others but it's too late and i can't remember them all right now.

i love lupe!!

[underthebrige55]

don't worry,

lupe went gold,

hes signing on with,

making friends with,

kanye west, jay-z, pharrell,

lupe is gonna be bigger then big,

remember the name Wasalu Muhammad Jaco,

also known as lupe fiasco.

[miyoshi9211]

i love Lupe, he is a great rapper... so meaningful and spirited. I'm so proud of him & wish him the best.

[baywest]

Lupe may not have many fans like other lame rappers, but the ones he does have are die hard fans like me.

[jellybeen]

yo seriously. i cant believe lupe only hit Gold. you wud think America knows real hip hop. and would support the struggle. this is unacceptable. smh. i love lupe anyway and the fact that he even made it this far and shared his voice with the world is good enough 4 me.

[princessj06]

lupe should have went triple platinum!

[jellybeen]

of course!!! in fact, he deserves diamond.

[pkwarrior68]

go lupe go buy teh thrid album all the way to platinum!!!!! hip hop lives :}

[anikp905]

FNF Up! I have the upmost respect for this man.

He really opened my ears and his music made me think. If it wasnt for him i probably would be bobing my head to lil wayne. He opened my ears and showed me REAL music. Congratz Lupe u really are the best.

[213rooster]

very well put hommie im glad he helped you out

[NINJASOSO]

love lupe

don't dig the hatin on Soulja Boy

he's just trying to get money

thats all..

[SpraxIAKS]

That's the whole point.

[NINJASOSO]

I thought the whole reason was that he supposedly is "destryoing" hip-hop

[SpraxIAKS]

Exactly. Those that are the whole "get money types" are the ones that are "destroying".

[kikiorr]

you don't like lupe?

[SpraxIAKS]

No, Soulja Boy.

[kikiorr]

no, soulja boy what? what are you talking about.?

[kikiorr]

oh wait i forgot i commented about that. hehe. why soulja boy? his songs have no meaning, ya know? maybe some people like to dance to his songs but they're nothing to call "legendary songs" or call him rapper of the century and what not.

[unknownanime123]

Congrats to Wasalu for getting this far. I know you will make it. Because you go pass the moon, pass the stars, and into people's ears to provide them with inspiration. Keep on reppin 4 da Chi man u doin real good for us. WEST-SIDE OAK PARK, IL REPRESENTIN!!!

[imbm3click]

lupe is the medic of hip hop .. soulja boy is terrible.lupe is going to make it BIG not stop lil wayne needs to collab with lupe that would be a song to remmber lupe is not an artist hes a movement an inspirtation not just song that go "i hustl i huslt i shutle i sell i sell i sell i kill i killl" most people i know are in jail.

[gaisensei43]

Lupe! Good Guy

[wolfmudera]

how the fuck! did this not go fuckin platnum lupe is on the greatist mc list post mtv that probably doesnt even like rap but soulja boy went platnium and he was going off of 1 fucking record this some bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[CoonCid]

yea i def. agree,i mean soulja boy makes one world wide crazy dance n goes platnium not even bein a tru mc n makin stupid songs like "YAHHh!!!" an "shoop lemme go" while lupe fiasco is an extremly accomplished artist who has hard hitting lyrics,he shulda def. went platnium

[kristin101]

Soulja Boy went platinum?! WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!?....Lupe deserves way more...way way way more....FNF!..The Cool was the best album I have ever purchased...and I do not understand why others ignore his greatness

[amirulfikri]

Because others dont listen to good music, they only listen to crappy rappers like Lil Wayne and SouljaBoy WHICH THEY BELONG AT THEIR OWN CATEGORY.

[imbm3click]

ami never say lil wayne ans soulja boy in the same sentence :P,lil wayne is fire his sad songs are great.you should try listening to his songs?

[epplaya2007]

ya soulja boy went platinum but he doesnt have the staying power lupe does. at the end of the day lupe will sell millions more records than soulja boy

[diehard332]

I think the only reason that it didnt go platinum is that people are too dumb to appreciate or arent ready for what he is sayin. but personally i bought the album twice.

[issues07]

i love him soooooo much

that words can't even explain

his album should have DEFINITELY went platinum

beyond platinum even

[galactus0011]

Only gold? man that album shoulda went double uranium lol.

[DarkAssasin619]

that should be plat all over

gratz any way lupe

[DontCare1021]

Lupe is the best lyricist out there.

This album deserved platinum.

[geo86583]

LUPE = TRUTH

[latdaw2007]

my second favorite rapper of these times...it is sad how underrated he is...but slowly people are opening their minds...congrats on being gold and getting the grammy...more is sure to come

[kaseemabduljabbar]

one of the best albums of all time! his music has meaning unlike other rappers out there.

[clickityclow2004]

I'm proud, big ups to every who bought a copy, we helped kick, and push that album to success. not to take n e thing from lupe

[mongolios]

after food & liquor i realised how messed up sales are now, and it's easy to understand why aspiring performers would give up hope. i mean, here we have one of the most brilliant minds in hip hop finally getting some recognition and dollars through sales-working so hard for it whereas it can be handed on a plate to others through a catchy single. but lupe is longevity, and i'm sure we'll hear him at his creative best again with no.3.

[Emman92]

man thats tight man lupe is fire man thats my rolemodel man!!!! no ly

[Foermia]

Man, this deserves platnum

[thedreadedmonkey]

Lyrically Lupe is one of the US' greatest rappers

[sleepyshotta]

Congrats man, finally, you should've been a long time ago, i don't know what's wrong with people

[tjmack010]

Man,he should have went platinum, I hate the fact that Soulja boy is 100,000 or less copies away from being platinum and they called it the worst album of 2007, it's a shame, congrats Lupe atleast you went something, I'm so glad I was one of those ppl who got you where u are today, hope it'll go platinum some day, thank you.

[desouki]

please tell me that you're not defending soulja boy...

[tjmack010]

No I'm not I said that I hate the fact that Soulja boy's horrible album is almost platinum and he's a horrible rapper while Lupe is a great rapper and his great album didn't go anywhere but gold, but also I'm saying that being gold isn't a bad thing either because it isn't, I just think if soulja can go platinum then Lupe can too.

[DarkAssasin619]

if soulja boy can go platinum then Lupe can go way above that

[tjmack010]

That may be true but u know how Hip-hop is today, ppl think Hip-hop's all about being a gangster, money and hoes, so they support niggas like Jeezy,Wayne, Boosie, Gucci Mane and ppl like that just because they're "real", I hope Lupe actually goes platinum.

[DarkAssasin619]

i couldnt agree more with you, most of the rappers out ther are fake anyway, but im glad lupe out ther bringin back real hip hop

[SexyGirlsLoveRICK]

God bless you sir

[Gizzy007]

truthfully, i wish lupEND was out now, lol...i just want something new to listen to...don't get me wrong, im still bumpin the cool, but hearing an album every day since its release does get tiring after awhile, lol...and its a shame lupe isn't doing anymore mixtapes...hope you might re-consider that lupe.  big congrats on your going gold though, shout out from the 242, The Bahamas...we bumpin you down here!

[Flackside]

ay nigga im happy 2 be part of that gold album! keep doing ur thing! people buy good music

[selfexplanatorychiq]

he totally deserved it well actually he deserved higher than gold but gold is still good...I love The Cool album its like a hidden story well it is lol

okay now im rambling so umm CONGRATS LUPE YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

[BavarianRhapsody]

Congrats on Gold. You deserve more and I know you'll get it soon. Keep it up.

[amc0287]

lupe u're awesome continue to stay true to hip-hop and you'll be victorious

[DatBoiSmoove509]

like he said its something to make people think! most people dont appreciate that kind of material. if its not simple and broken down they wont buy it! Sad but True!! Congrats Lupe!!

[haveugotserved]

Total BS like everyone else said this deserved to go platinum.

[JurockDaRock]

WTF GOLD?????????? Man, this album shoulda went platinum easily! Hecks wrong with people today?

[iazisaid]

he deserved platnum at least

[squid111999]

thats it gold? Lupe deserves way better. his music is amazing. if only people would actually start paying for music. but i guess all we can say is way to go.

[Lamunphs]

now we just gotta wait for lupEND.

[jkjmundy]

lupe is a killer right now in the biz

[unkleluc]

best lyricist out there..

[Elight00]

man this guy rocks

[infinite2]

[cavolo1987]

Too bad you're just gold but to me you're diamond!!

[silkynessccc]
