Lupe Fiasco - Superstar (Live at Spring Break)

[yellopanda]

i gotta thank kanye, he introduced lupe to me back in the "touch the sky" days 

[ibbyizaG]

it makes me laugh... how the audience are happy and content and celebrating... when the content of the song is bloody depressing xD

[karisma12341]

he sounds so much better in his normal song

[daniboy232]

i dont understand how this guy is soo unrecognized, you cant even compare his music to lil wayne. i guess he just didn't want to dumb it down.

[TheScoobydogg]

puta que la pasa bakan

[betoski]

awesome :D

[kmsoldier100]

Thumbs up if you think Lupe cant dance...lol

[kanguyman]

@kmsoldier100 would you prefere to be good at dancing when you could be a genius?

[MoSxyxnr24]

@kmsoldier100  thums up if he wasn´t dancing just moving around ???

[rotflmfaololzomg]

@gomezkenneth92

Not necessarily. To sell records, you just have to have a marketable image. Nowadays there's no talent (at least not on the radio) big music industries take care of the singing part by changing their voice on the albums. That's why most live performances suck, because they can't sing.

[sadenim]

why cant i find the official video to this song :/

[jonasakabochumerx1]

@sadenim because lupe fiasco donßt make a video from this song only astudio recording...

[ruivivarniu]

@jonasakabochumerx1 yeah he did

[dariano56]

That was the best live hip-hop peformance iv'e ever heard. Simply Amazing.

[AuthenticItalian]

[RustleXer]

@AuthenticItalian dude, he makes the hook....

[mirageallday]

LA-SER

[monocorner]

is it okay to be fat as a visitor of the spring break?

[littleaskater137]

that white guy needs to learn how to sing and not sound like a queer lupe rocked that shit

[success4111]

the song got f up when the begin to rap, screamin and holloring like he been shot in the ass.

[kiryt]

@success4111 hey.. u stupid?

[vanzan12]

this brings some sun in my cold city. thanks lupe

[waytoogangsta]

Lupe is that one dude that made me think "What the fuck was I doing listening to those other artists before"

To me, Lupe Fiasco is so good at everything that he does, that he's more than my favourite artist, more than my idol. He touched my heart and soul with his music. No MC has done that ever before, not even one of the "GOATS".

I'm so lucky to be in this generation where can witness living greatness. To me, he'll always be one of the greatest, if not, THE greatest of ALL TIME!

Lupe Fiasco!

[gomezkenneth92]

good lyrics he got but hes def not the greatest of all time or even close for that matter, no one of his cds have gone platinum only gold which was the cool.

[dariano56]

@gomezkenneth92 I my opinion I don't think sells have to deal with if an artist is great or not. I believe the greatness of an artist comes with how much time and effort an artist puts into their lyrics. (Which I think Lupe puts a lot of effort into his music) I respect your opinion though :-)

[linkin49park182]

@gomezkenneth92 Dude Britney Spears, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber has gone platinum. Immortal Technique once said, "so if your message ain't shit, fuck the records you sold/ cuz if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck/it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck" Lupe does his best to portray a message through his lyrics that people are afraid to examine themselves. To a lot of people, Lupe is the devil. But also to a lot of people, he is a prophet.

[king4barcelona]

@linkin49park182 lupe is no devil he is no prophet, lupe want message world for stop illuminiati and againist policital govermnet media , lupe is amazaing underated overated rapper he clever muslim guy wow

[lilcapz444]

@gomezkenneth92 that is such a shit thing to say,,,, thats what is wrong with the music industry these days... you

[reppinda703]

@gomezkenneth92 come on now.. sales dont prove anything, The Carter III sold like 20 million albums or whatever but Food and Liquor (you know, lupes other album) sold around 300000. Food and Liquor is deemed by many as a classic, The Carter III? hardly 

[gomezkenneth92]

do u like th3 game

[reppinda703]

@gomezkenneth92 what game? the rapper the game? the music industry?

[gomezkenneth92]

yea the rapper

[ChannelArea91]

@gomezkenneth92 selling records has nothing to do with success and being great. There are tons of underground artists who don't make money, but are still some of the greatest.

[gomezkenneth92]

lol wat??? selling records has everything to do with success . the more u sell the more publicity, money, and fans you get, of course it matters , to be great u must sell

[johncp1989]

love this song, and wow the band was amazing.

[Andrej577]

Amazin'!! Go Lupe,

[majesticg15]

Pure genius! 

[plonjcc]

this song is too good for a spring break shit like this

[Kubatko]

that is just new level of the song

[jgcgsgmg]

Lu, dude you are the only rapper there is that I enjoy watching on youtube. YOu are great! I can feel the energy from the band coming through you into your dance and the percussiveness in your words. you are sick bro! please make a new album soon.

[byLivio]

Pure energy

[realtalk293]

[HinchaTigre]

[king4barcelona]

@jgcgsgmg those parties dont know that lupe is real muslim guy god it

[vanzan12]

2:05 so funny how lupe suddenly goes back when he sees the singer starts looking down to the crowd^^

[ninjapotato5]

Christmas is better without the rapper

[philbanks305]

Lupe is an immortal rapper. One of the few rappers actually worth listening to

[king4barcelona]

[bobVillanueva]

[tm1tm1tm1]

[NewcastleUnitedOwen]

amazing

[Cpt0Rex]

best mainstream rapper ever

[cliffHayd]

whats up with the beat?

[TheCoolestNinjaw]

its his live band

[str567z]

Matthew Santos looks fucking gay on stage...

[Reconnais]

Sorry bud, but If I may draw your attention to 0:49... when you have a woman that looks like that singing along with you I dont think you need to worry about people thinking you look gay. We both know he pulls crazy ass. Yes, female ass.

[thenexttmac36]

aaagggh!!! why didnt he do a stage dive at the end!!!!!!!!! it was perfect yo!!!!omfg im mad as hell!!!!!

[ElDiabloRobotico1]

Man, he should've! I like how energetic he is on stage, not just a statue who sings and then gets paid. You can tell this guy lkes what he's doing.

[Moviespoof102]

whos the white guy

[ihavenolegs36]

matthew santos

[rebeltkrlegends]

matthew santos lol

[ngaiox]

He's a great singer. Vibrato at the beginning is overdone.

[PoloBoyPrince]

@Moviespoof102 theres a lot of white guys in this vid lmao

[rafael160]

is that Bishop G as back up singer for Lu?

[blooded186]

hes not a backup

he tours with him a lot

he raps sometimes

but yeah its bishop g

[rafael160]

oh yeah word

I know he isn't a back up singer. Bishop G went hard on Little Weapon, but I was just wondering if that was Bishop or not. thanks

[whatsgoodie25]

lupe easily sounds top 5 the best live ive heard faggets like 50 cent nd ja rule live that are horrible lupes flo is sick nd studio and live hes unstoppable nd amazing

[IGNXIII]

Hav u heard Lil Wayne live? He basically lets his tracks take over when he's too tired.

[TheCoolestNinjaw]

yeah and lupe also has a live band

[40MuthaFuckinDollaz]

his voice sound like that cuz he was strainin his voice on other tracks before

[jackfrench999]

this is an amazinggg version!

[Reconnais]

to the people complaining of how he sounds live compared to in studio....

you are on spring break, with titties galore straining to pop out of bikinis, alcohol, sun, and the promise of getting laid as long as you don't have a horn sprouting out of the middle of your forehead..are you focused on that? or the subtle nuances of acoustic quality between a live / studio performance? exactly. if you choose the latter you are either gay or an eternal virgin.

[fogesster]

hahahah good point

[djflameon]

love lupes music, but his live performance is shit ... yeah i know everybody will hate on me right now, but listen to his voice ...

[rageagainstthepixies]

who gives a shit about the voice. If yoour having a good time and singing along, yuou dont even hear it. If it sounds the same as the studio version the live atmosphere is lost.

[aintallthat]

lupe's live performance is sick. he knows how to entertain. a live performance doesn't need to sound exactly like the track itself. that's the whole point of it being 'live'

his voice is like that cos he's feeling the music and is actually into it. not lip-syncing or nothing.

[Heaslip008]

Your a fucking idiot, have you ever even been to one of his concerts. I was at the TLA in Philly concert.  Best concert ive ever been too.

[momopamlove]

wtf are u talking about

ur right on one thing lupe shits

and he shits on u fagget

[djflameon]

didnt say he shits, is said his live voice is shit !

so learn how to read u fag :)

[theshadowboy607]

kool

[HPgroupie]

OMG...I wonder who's going to be there this year! I'm staying at the hotel RIGHT BEHIND THEM!

[BarerStudent]

tiny bit different them the song on itunes

[MTWENTY]

this is the kinda croud lupe deserves...sharing the same energy lupe is feelin

[d92m92c92]

sad, his album didnt go platinum

and too think, soulja boy's album did...

[HPgroupie]

Ugh...you're right!

[myownwords1]

if u are what u say u are, a superstar then have no fear the crowd is here

[8182570]

I wonder if anyone pays attention to the lyrics or actually know what Superstar is talking about.... Lu is so much more than his beats or this single (which is awesome of course). Heck Superstar isn't even his best song! Hope people check out more of his songs. Anyways he gives such an energetic and great performance! Matt Santos is a wonderful singer too. Much love Lupe!!

[deathscout8]

omg its such a beautiful day and its at the beach it looks like such a good atmosphere

[allenwllcoc]

there was no need for a band for dis song dey made it sound corny ass hell but they did good lupe killed

[jncyeah]

U must be stupid! The song is tight but the live band and all, just made it freaking 100 times better!

[Amuroray1969]

groovy! cool! and addictive tune! easily my favorite rap artist now, hands down

[flixo92]

lupe is actually one of the greatest rappers out there atm. i cant wait to see him at the big day out.

[sumit]

too fucking right.

[nmard55]

i was there, awesome experience. the clip actually makes it seem like way less of a crowd than it felt like

[ewgirlsaregay]

as sad as it is, its a good thing he's gonna stop at lupEND, because quitting while you're ahead isn't the same as quitting.

[GechoRap]

sum people here discussin what the song is about:

I think it's about rapstars- how some of them need to stop frontin and lying on half they cd-s. "If you are what you say you are (a superstar) then have no fear"

if what you're singing/rapping about is true, then you have nothing to fear. if not, you're fucked.

[preludefan]

tru that

[Chrisbezzyslover]

HE MAN HYPE

[pnutmeh]

that guitar is MEAN!! i got so much respect for lupe because of this. YESS LUPE!!! HAHA

[jizzy2sexi]

son is a horrible performer but his songs are crack

[lakersrdabest]

im so glad lupe is starting to get attention

i personally dont think this is his best song

it still really good

lupe is great because his songs contain meaning

thats what i like about him

im sad because hes supposably going to make only one more album

[unknownkilla14]

yea but he still gonna be doin mixtapes and he himself even said he mite put lupEND off forawhile... plus he gonna do muzzik wit pharal and kanye west as child rebel soldier

[KamikazeLive]

Lupe said he wanted to make a movie or TV series off the cool.. The Cool was like the pinnacle of Lupe Fiasco's career.

[blazey20]

I thought it was either a anime show or a horror themed radio show.

Either way its gonna be awesome

[seazeo]

yo!!! are they making the rhythm of the song right now? it sounds different :D

[GB260]

lupe needs to do a mtv unplugged.

[vetchaser1]

yo real talk i'm glad he has a cool band to back up his coolness...perfect harmony...they really vibe and may 23rd can't come any sooner when he and kanye come back home for the glow n the dark tour

chi-town stand up!!!!!

[klbro]

is it me or does matthew santos sound nervous?

[cracktober]

of course. or he could be whailing or w/e its called

[nicoriot23]

The Epitome of a lyrcist.... LUPE FIASCO!!!
