  • Hierplanes eh?

    -listens-

    Hierarchy, this song is a fuck the system song. It sounds incomplete in a way but very good job for a hip-hop artist.

  • lupe fiasco = wasalu muhammad jaco

    he's the same guy

  • Wasalu is Lupe's birth name. Lupe is just his stage name.  His full name is Wasalu Muhammad Jaco.

  • this is why i think cudi will be awesome in wizard

  • I like Lupe a lot, but to be correct, this is not a "punk band" as he has claimed. Its good never the less

  • Exactly yall crazy...his real name is Wasalu Muhammad Jaco and his rapper name is Lupe Fiasco...duh

  • Gay

  • @ZOnikJJ Your gay.

  • Best discovery today! :)

  • @arcticvultures

    umm..You are being "racial" assuming there is no black people who are English. Because there are LOTS of black people who are are English. i.e.. who have English accents... Its not the fact that Lupe is black its the fact that he is from Chicago- thus wouldn't have an English accent. The real question do (american white) people only relate to black people sounding "black" - as if an English accent in inauthentic

  • cant anyone enjoy this song instead of bragging bout Wasalu's/lupe's accent or where hes originally from? chill down people...

  • "By late 1976 [...Punk rock spread around the world] and it became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. [...] punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive styles of clothing and adornment and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies."

    Sounding British is as Punk as it gets!

  • "If you don’t become an actor you’ll never be a factor" - Lupe Fiasco, Words I Never..

    Hugh Laurie, portrays Dr. Gregory House on television show, "House."

    Hugh Laurie, very British. Sounds American. Acting

    Lupe Fiasco, very American. Sounds British. Acting

    Does acting amaze/appall/weird-out people that much? o_O

  • @arcticvultures there are (many) black british people.... and black people that like Japanese cartoons

    What the hell was the point of your comment?

  • @enacra101 maybe because its an american band with american people?

  • this song is bad because lupe fiasco is litterally from the slums of chicago and is a famous rap;per

  • @TOOFAKE43 Well I happen to live in those 'slums' of chicago right where Lupe grew up (he came to my school a few days ago) and I slightly disagree on you saying the song is bad just because he grew up on the south side of Chicago. Is there a problem with that? No. Does that have anything todo with the song...? Not really. So why are you mentioning that?

  • lol wasalu is lupe's real name

  • Ow. Oh please. What a lie! Still care for some tea? haha no hate lupe! :D

  • Wasn't really expecting to like it, but it's not bad.

  • gay

  • naw thats lupe.......

  • @ghettohammer1118 nah thats Wasalu

  • its not lupe ft. japanese cartoon, lupe is part of japanese cartoon...

  • @obamasux1234 He probably named it that way so more people would checc it out

  • @702adrian lmfao imagine literally SUCKING ASS? lmfaooo

  • Looks like some ones been listing to the sex pistols

  • i love this shit.

  • Stick to hip hop man.

  • Pure genius.

  • Lupe, we're cool man, but that accent sounds awful. Rofl.

  • Lupe is that man has down. much love and respect for the truth.

  • i want bass tabs!

  • lol at the British accent but FNF up!

  • i like the accent

  • ILove Lupes music..

    His creativity is just out of this world..

  • Its weird not hearing him rap. This song would be perfect for a lupe rap verse.

  • Just read about this and had to check it out......it's not bad. A bit generic musically and he kinda sounds like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins (sorry, "Maori Pawpans").

    There is no accent in all of the British Isles that sounds like that.

  • lol this shit goooo hard.... a little divergent from my boundaries but it'll work lol.....he is so pissed at the illumanati and fort releasing lasers!!!!! shitz so funny tryna expnd his audience and his circle of influence and then expose the "big brother"

  • @renegadecerebrater I think that he's pissed at the record label to be honest...

  • I think Lupe's been listening to too much Radiohead

  • @KiwiCrisis You can never listen to too much Radiohead!

  • i like this

    alot

  • this is crazy LOVE IT

  • he doesnt wanna be refered as lupe. he wants the title japanese cartoon

  • @DiddyDogInc Or Double J lol.

  • this is my shiite right here

  • its not Lupe, its Wasalu

  • @totalfreshness thats his real name

  • @totalfreshness Lupe's Real name is Wasalu Muhammad Jaco

  • @totalfreshness actually false. It is the same person.

  • @R1ckr011 No. Lupe Fiasco is the rapper we all love. He doesn't want to be known as Lupe: Rapper turned singer. This isn't fuckin T-Pain. lol. He wants Japanese Cartoon to be a totally new project. U kno what I mean ? This is different in many ways

  • @totalfreshness same person lol

  • @shajuggalo no, lupes a rapper.

  • @totalfreshness Haha, 34 of you believe this can't be Lupe.

  • @omga14 HIS NAMES FUCKING WASALU !!! does everybody like not get that ?! thts wht my comment means. lml i swear im gettin mad at these fucks -.-

  • @totalfreshness Lupe is AWSOME!! Who the hell is Wasalu?

  • @totalfreshness btw, Wasalu Mohammed Jaco is Lupe Fiasco's Muslim name. If you meant your statement to point out that his real name is as said then cool.

  • @omga14 that is not his muslimname buddy? that is his actual name

  • @totalfreshness It's Lupe Asshole

  • AWESOME!!

  • FBA (fake british accent) is the real shit! WHOOPIE!

  • He's singing in an accent because at the time, it hadn't been confirmed it was lupe singing, at the time he was singing under the name of Percival Fats.

  • i didn't know there was a chicago in great britain!?

  • I hate how people think they can't like this and another band or artist at the same time. Listen to good music. Not just one band, or one genre or one song. Just listen.. enjoy. It's not a competition. And some of yall.. just have really bad tastes in music altogether. Maybe you should delve deeper into music before you start making radical claims.

  • Thank you VonHalford. I agree.

  • This songs about Rats right?

  • @RizzyWow lol how stupid are you?

  • he goes by his real name in this band guys, 'wasalu'

  • Why the fuck does he act like he has a British accent.

  • 9 people missed the like button

  • Everyone who thinks they know shit by saying lupe fiasco isn't the singer you're stupid as hell. CHECK LUPES BLOG, HE CONFIRMED HE IS THE SINGER HIMSELF. god damn fucking idiots.

  • ...since when does lupe have a british accent?

  • @bl4kstarr

    since he acts like that.

  • @bl4kstarr its a fake british accent

  • @bl4kstarr My thoughts exactly

  • @bl4kstarr lolz my uncle who introduced me to Japanese Cartoon tld me he's do'n it on purpose... i found it funny so i never bothered to ask why

  • @bl4kstarr he said he felt more comfortable singing in a british accent coz he didnt like the sound of his own voice singing and this project is obviously influenced by british music (punk) Joy division in particular and so he felt more comfortable doing the brit accent at the start

    he drops the accent with songs recorded later on when he "started becoming more comfortable"

  • @bl4kstarr he didn't like to hear his own voice singing, so he started singing in a british accent, if you want a link to the interview in which he said it pm me

  • @bl4kstarr there's an interview where he says why...i think its cuz he said he didn't like the way he sounded so he used a british accent

  • @bl4kstarr thats wat i said when i heard this whole album

  • @bl4kstarr The guy is amazing! That is all :)

  • @bl4kstarr lol

    its a fake accent.

    i was like

    wtf too

    till i read about it.

    apparantly he did it because he was uncomfortable hearing his own voice over this type of music

    so he changed it.

    in some other songs from the new album, he doesnt have the accent.

    it's sorta ridiculous if you ask me.

  • @gilley432 artistic license.

  • @bl4kstarr when working on the project wanted to alleviate himself and his name Lupe from it so he could get honest reaction from everyone like Yoko Kanno / Gabrielle Robin style...research ppl

  • @bl4kstarr since he wanted one lmao i dunno it was wierd

  • Comment removed

  • @bl4kstarr he said it made him feel more comfortable singing with that accent. afterwards he felt fine with listening to his voice so he switched back.

  • @bl4kstarr does it matter? hes sick

  • @bl4kstarr its experimental . No one is uni-dimensional .

  • @bl4kstarr lol when they first started the band he said he developed the accent because he didn't like the sound of singing in his normal voice

  • @bl4kstarr since he can live and move out of america

  • @bl4kstarr ignorant comment stupid!

    

  • You all are deceived. The singer is "Percival Fats." Lupe Fiasco IS associated with this band, but he manages FINANCES.

  • @MrBlackter1 Lupe put the band together....he just doesnt do finances.

    He's more than that....and that sounds ALOT like Mr. Fiasco....

  • Remember guys this is a Post Punk not rock act. If you dont know what post punk is it's that experimental punk rock bands almost art rock bands of punk rock genre. Post punk was the genre that created alt rock. If you wanna listen to more post punk the first band i would go to would be Joy Division, quite possibly one of the greatest bands of the 20th century.

  • im not feeling it. when i listen to rock it should be green day or fall of troy. song was alrigth but u give it mad props cuz lupe's the singer. Question? If someone else was the singer and it had nothing to do with lupe would you still like this song?

  • @londobellace I would.

  • Where did Lupe get a british accent?

  • This is the song i never knew was missing from my life. What an amazing track. Lupe is definitely an original. Loyal til the L.U.P.End

  • It's alright. Sorta sounds he was influenced by rapper P.O.S. and his band Building Better Bombs. way better than this fake punk shit

  • To everyone that hates his accent sooooo much. Have you ever heard of the show House? Well the lead actor from that show is actually British yet he does an American accent for the show. Do you see anyone criticizing him? It's entertainment people! Either be entertained or find something else. Now if Lupe starts speaking in an English accent 24/7 that would be weird. But it works for the gimmick he is creating so back off of his sack people!

  • @ShabazzTheGreat19 No you idiot, he does the accent so nobody would know.

  • @Ludichristian No Your The Idiot, He Denys All Claims To Singing For The Post-Punk Rock Band.

  • @The661Bull The highest rated comment even says it. It's on the blog of his official website, YOU FUCKING MORON. Don't call me an idiot when you don't know English grammar that's learned in third grade.

  • @The661Bull Seriously it is him a simple google search will tell you.

  • @Ludichristian If he was trying to hide that fact that it was him, than why would he promote the album himself saying that Japanese Cartoon was HIS band. And he doesn't do an accent for every song you dumb bitch.

  • @ShabazzTheGreat19 You ask him. I wouldn't know. Guessing he tried to hide it at first and then he decided to let the public know. I never said he did it for every song, "you dumb bitch".

  • @Ludichristian Get your facts straight before you start calling people "idiot" asshole.

  • @ShabazzTheGreat19 I didn't say "idiot" either, "dumbass". Get your grammar straight before you post.

    What is invalid about my comment, do tell.

  • yo stop hatin on lupe... he is the shit

  • whats up with his accent thought?? other than that its a pretty good track...

  • @lilmissIsis it sounds british haah

  • @lilmissIsis fake british...in an interview he siad he wasnt so comfortable at the beggining doing the songs without the accent but by the end of the album almost no accent

  • this is very good...

  • Lupe Fiasco is superior to Lil Wayne when it comes to rap and now even rock. 

  • @VitaNegern77 Thumbs up +10 just said that on Solar Midnight lol.

  • @Tymathee Thnx us real people gotta stick together.

  • @VitaNegern77 thats disgraceful that lil wayne would even be mentioned in terms of comparison to Lupe Fiasco

    wayne don't even deserve to be capitalized

  • @VitaNegern77 both of them got heat. they need to do a song togethor

  • @VitaNegern77 like lil wayne knows anything about rock 

  • FUCK THE ACCENT.

    Anyone whos from UK knows people do not speak like this

  • Lupe fiasco is not the lead singer of JC. Percieval fats is the lead singer of JC. Sounds exactly like Lupe but is aparently a completely different person.

  • @Maqman18 Percieval fats and lupe fiasco are one in the same maqman.

  • @Maqman18 its lupee its official now..percival fats is someone who pops into the scene from time to time like an unofficial member of the band

  • haha love the british accent

  • why did u put Lupe ft Japanese Cartoon. Lupe is apart of Japanese cartoon in fact he's the lead singer.

  • Why the fuck does he sing with a British accent?

  • not really digging this

    i dont know why

    i mean i love Lupe but this isnt for me

  • I would imagine he sounds British because he's more comfortable singing that way, and the sound matches the band better. I doubt he was like "oh, lemme just sound british cause i wanna stop rapping and just become crappy". clearly a better rapper than singer, but hes not bad at all

  • this song is gr8!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • lupe came to my school!

  • @mclaren450 Dude nice... Definitely jealous.

  • @mclaren450 fuck your school then

  • @pv5454

    whats wrong with lupe?

  • @mclaren450 cuz he shoulda went to my school

  • @pv5454

    i go to an art school. many artist drop by my school when there in town. singers, acters, painters, all that good stuff.

  • why's he sound british?

  • Fucking Lupe steals all my shit Haha

  • omg lol lupe does this shit too?! WOWW, he's a beast.

  • noiicee!!!! lupe gone punk!!! this guy is pure golden talent. fucked up thing is, he's gonna go, and no-ones gonna even know because they flock towards crappy plasticky gimmics like GaGa and t-pain. Best urban musical talent alive today is lupe. anyone who thinks otherwise, explain your case. you'd be wrong of course, but yeah, you can try.

  • Is there an album out? I want more songs =/

  • @megacoasterfan not yet....-_-

  • ...

    I came.

  • @KiLoSpartan117 lmao

  • this track is hot

  • u guys are dumb this isnt lupe

  • @baller0718 do some research and then get back to us lol

  • @baller0718 XD you must be deaf cause i dont think you can miss how does this not sound like lupe put down the pipe and get back to reality

  • @baller0718 lmfao! sorry to disappoint fam but uh, its lupe. swear it it. google it.

  • @baller0718 yeah it is. This is the same band in the solar midnight video.

  • @baller0718 yeah it is

  • @baller0718 lol this is Lupe

  • @baller0718 lol ya it is lupe even said him self.

  • why the f does he sound british??

  • @pv5454 because its punk

  • @activeskaterblake well no shit its punk but that doesnt explain why he ssounds british many punk bands dont sound british at all

  • @pv5454 Most of the best punk flourished in the UK around the 70s and 80s, him singing in an English accent might be his homage to them, and gives it a bit more authenticity. If he would sing it in an American accent he would run too much of a risk of sounding like the garbage today passes off as 'Punk', like green day and fallout boy.

  • where can I get this?

  • This beats Rebirth for damn sure....

  • why does he use an accent
