Lupe Fiasco - Lightwork (feat Ellie Goulding & Bassnectar)

[VonDaDon92]

this is why lupe fiasco is my fav rapper because he is true hip-hop what other rapper can rap over a dub-step beat and yet speak such a deep message lupe is the evolution of rap #LASERS#

[TheThunderGirl1]

i wish ellie would sing with nicki minaj

[tobyy]

i don't understand why people are hating on this song are they def or something, when i hear this beat this lyrics this flow this rhythm this vocal i can't do nothing else but enjoy the song to the fullest

[AaaaalrightBadKid]

I'm sorry, but why is this so popular? Am I missing something?

How do you have the nerve to take an amazing song, throw your generic rap (that as far as I can tell has absolutely no 'point') on it and put the original creator in parenthesis behind "Featuring".. as if they just happened to be in "your" song? Even when Bassnectar remixed it it was "Ellie Goulding - Lights (Bassnectar remix)".

Don't get me wrong, I like rap. I'm not even saying Lupe's bad at it.. but this just seems.. ridiculous.

[wzhaan]

@AaaaalrightBadKid No offense to you, but who gives a shit about the track's name.

[AaaaalrightBadKid]

@wzhaan It's not the name of the song, it's the artist. Say you produced a really good song, like one of your best work and some famous rapper throws some words on it and calls it his (feat. wzhaan). I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it, especially if he were the one getting credit for the song (as Lupe is clearly getting from these comments).

I obviously can't speak for Ellie or Bassnectar, but to me it just seems disrespectful to the actual artist.

[83alx]

@AaaaalrightBadKid Don't confuse the uploader's decision with this. And besides, if you liked rap, you'd understand that you basically just said that mixtapes are ridiculous.

[AaaaalrightBadKid]

@83alx I said I like rap, not that I'm adamant about it. And I'm not perfectly sure what you mean by "Don't confuse the uploader's decision with this" but if you're saying that this isn't actually how Lupe titled this song then disregard my rantings; I'm just calling it like I see it.

Just for the record, I'm not clear how often this occurs, but I do know that Deadmau5 wasn't at all cool with Nick Cannon doing this exact same thing to his song..

[83alx]

@AaaaalrightBadKid Yeah, Lupe didn't title the song like this at all.

[llllllah]

@AaaaalrightBadKid Listen to the lyrics then try to criticize this amazing artist. I'm not going to hate on you, i just hope you actually listen to the lyrics of the songs and appreciate the mixtapes before judging. You are allowed to state your opinion, but saying that his rap has no POINT is in my opinion ridiculous. Lupe fiasco has released his last album for FREE just so people would actually appreciate what he is telling us and listen to the lyrics. He speaks the truth.

Friend of the people

[Soccerbum707]

All those who insult this song just never listen to lupe fiasco, so what he uses dubstep as the music it compliments the rhythm of the song, and it adds to how the song flows from verse to verse. If u hate lupe fiasco there is something really wrong with ya, so just don't even hit dislike leave the page and never return.

[I8y]

@CianDub You need to listen to this with a 1000w Surround Sound System, Bass ON FULL!!!!

OmG.....................EarGas­ummmmmmmmm x

[sean78745]

"i hate this and that but i like wut he says... try to dream a lil outside the box"

[TheCaseBeatz]

one of the illest beats ever. lupe kills it too. this has been my shit since it leaked

[bob47433]

i dont get why people would dislike songs... if you dont like it then dont watch it.

[Serpmusic]

i hate dubstep music, but lupes lyrics are amazing

[CompletelyTactical]

this mixtape was just different... watch out for The Great American Rap Album. Lupe will be returning to form with a fucking vengeance

[ShaunMati88]

This song goes incredibly hard. I despise people who say this beat is not like lupe and shit like that. And you care why? Lupe is not known for his beats...so i see no relevance. Lupe is known for the metaphors and imagery of his lyrics. Do u know how powerful the first line of this song is? "What are you going to stand for?" thats powerful. Ask people around what they stand for...im sure u wont get an answer. Get off your high horses in thinking u can critique lupe. Let his lyrics decide that.

[TheMaya0425]

@ShaunMati88  Thank you for your comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was exactly wahat i was thinking

[tobyy]

@ShaunMati88 truth and nothin but the truth told right there

[DDasop]

@ShaunMati88 The beat was NOT made by Lupe Fiasco. This song is by Ellie Goulding and it's remixed by Bassnectar...now some guy here added Lupe's voice..that's all

[gpb714]

@ShaunMati88 could not have been said any better.



[TheMashupMessiah]

@ShaunMati88 AMEN.

[needforspeedboy]

You can all forget your headphones, subwoofer taking up the whole boot of the car, 6 more speakers, this song - Perfection. Until the headlights go on. Then the battery goes flat.

[fertolito]

People say shit but Lupe needs those kind of hard beats to his big level of swag & flow

[XxFreshXx2010]

i was looking up lupe fiasco and i found this and now im addicted to this XD thumbs up if this happend to u 2

[YOURprivateWAR1]

this should be titled..... Ellie Goulding - Lights (Bassnectar Remix[Lupe Fiasco Edit]) regardless shits good

[24JesseD]

Lupe fiasco... true friend of the people

[colemclean]

This song and BEATS PRO...... WINNING!

[iWorkiJiggiJerkiRock]

Lyrical Genius.



[iixlolizmo]

So anyone actually listen to the lyrics instead of bobbing their head to the beat?

[1ligrit1]

@iixlolizmo yea i actually did listen to the lyrics u dumb fuck.. sorry were not retarded like u.

[afgjhsukghsiuh]

[YPCTGTV]

Hey EVERYONE check out the channel, we'll accept every friend request... :)

[outaworldchamp]

its a mixtape...obviously the music isn't his. just the lyrics....now stop hating and enjoy a masterpiece

[joecottonworld]

i dnt get why Lupe has to wait from Atlantic now since last album did very well and hes more known

[ballinchuck1]

can someone please answer this question why is the official album art for #FOTP say Jesus and lupe is a muslim

[Yyourself]

@ballinchuck1 muslims believe in jesus too

[akkadianantttt]

Why is he screaming random shit in the first minute of the video? "YEA... HAA... HOO... HUR HUR HURRR"

[jazzefingers]

this track needs to be in the 10’s of millions at least!...bout time that people started giving him his props!! Good music is still rockin…. check the group "INRG MUSIC - FEELIN’ IT" for some refreshing vibes

[TimeforDice]

WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO TOOK YOU OR SENT YOU HERE.... ENJOY THE DAMN MUSIC

[michaeldaddow]

look at the last 4 letters in the url ahahah lolz

[YoungBr33zy954]

Ive heard the orginal song of this a year ago and im sorry but Lupe didn't serve this beat right

[DotPkemon]

@YoungBr33zy954 i know, ellie goulding has an amazing voice

[HueyEscobar56]

@YoungBr33zy954 i agree and disagree at the same time. Lyrically he went off on it, but if he had put in a bit more energy plus added the chorus i think it would've been perfect. Either way its win/win for me cuz i like dubstep and Lupe.

[curlyqhomie17]

i love listening to this song when im high.

[MrPolarbear1223]

if the world is just as shitty as it is today then on 2012 when the world is gonna end then so be i would rather be in the sky in the here

[Kidd9741]

@MrPolarbear1223 quit being so fuckin dramatic.

[MrPolarbear1223]

this song is just the bomb blows my mind FNF lupe all day er day i love you bo

[DYNastyProducer]

THE QUEEN HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN! REVOLUTION! WHAT SIDE DO YOU STAND FOR? KILLUMINATI..... NO NEW WORLD ORDER. THUMBS UP.

[1Schemeteam1]

Why he so rebellious? Up-front with his realness?

They wanna be Fiasco’s, reproduce his failures.

Friend of people mixtape is a completely deff album, if u look at lasers. Lasers good cuz of "letting go", "words i never said" and "beautiful lasers". so easy to hear lupes knowlegde!!

[BIGMrighthere]

@1Schemeteam1 Add All black everything.

[giggitygoo21]

@1Schemeteam1 lasers is his worst album listen to his mixtapes

[Swood2269]

[SaBeRxNaTiOn]

can u guys see the dislike bar? neither can i.

[fishiecracker]

@SaBeRxNaTiOn yes.



[gramcraka95]

the views doubled in one day

[Weqqz]

"my only promise is I'll never ruin the young" this is why I love Lupe. He isn't polluting the youths minds with negativity like 98% of rappers nowadays.

[TheReddman88]

now i know its contradiction, wants and needs in competition

but its hard to stay on point with such extremes and opposition...

[SamuraiMille]

Raddest song evah...=P

[jspears19]

rap dubstep watch all these mainstream artists hop on this

[LoneDrop]

@jspears19 lupe is mainstream but idk if they will they're not willing to take a risk like that i don't think they will

[jspears19]

@LoneDrop trust me if its something new I could see YMCMB/Big Sean/Wiz all doing this. Because its something different for the mainstream scene and our generation will love to see their fav rappers rap to different beats like this

[someguy080]

@jspears19 hope they do.

[jspears19]

@someguy080 Its crazy because Lupe has been done with his second album and he's waiting Atlantic to put that album out

[someguy080]

@jspears19 Personally I've always liked rap+dubstep, I hope it takes off. Though I know it'll probably start being abused by the likes of Soulja Boy and what not..

That Jay/Kanye song 'who gon stop me' is pretty dope.. It's only about time now ^^

[jspears19]

@someguy080 it might spread but we will see

[Jfraseroc]

@someguy080 check the chiddy freestyle with it. it's way better and came out before the kanye jay z song. its soo dope. its called I cant stop

[gutairhero92]

@Jfraseroc I heard Chidfy's version first and thought it was average Jay-Z was way better on the track "Could've been a chemist cause i cook smart"

[Jfraseroc]

@gutairhero92 yeah yeah. I'm talking about the producing I guess. I mean you can't knock Jay-z's lyrics or ye's producing but in this particular case Xaph did a better job on the beat than ye

[jokeefferave]

@jspears19 Pmoney & Doctor - Sweetshop....it wont ever get better than that!

[jspears19]

@jokeefferave they mainstream?

[jokeefferave]

@jspears19 nah, it gets played alot in clubs but thats it. P-money is a UK grime artist, hasn't been signed yet

[jspears19]

@jokeefferave oh ok Imma check it out

[Jfraseroc]

@jspears19 lol ever heard of strange clouds? Lupe isnt the first.

[jspears19]

@Jfraseroc is it mainstream in the UK if so then I never heard Imma typical american sorry.

[SuperZozo92]

@Jfraseroc This came out before strange clouds...

[addiz0n]

@jspears19

lupe wasn't the first to come up with it..

[jspears19]

@addiz0n of course he wasnt but he's the first mainstream American Rap artist to do so

[123698745j]

@addiz0n but he's clearley the best

[bigralph23]

@jspears19 Rapstep. I can see that happening. Surprised that it already hasn't happened yet.

[jspears19]

@bigralph23 o its happened but not in America's mainstream

[bubrub23]

WHAT IS THE SAMPLE FROM!?

[jspears19]

@bubrub23 this from the song Lights (bassnectar remix) Ellie Goulding

she's dope

[kbms24]

under armour led me here

[likebossman]

J. Cole or Lupe Fiasco?

Thumbs up for Cole!

[CM1691]

@likebossman What? Not even a legitimate comparison. Get outta here with that bull... :P

[JMASx]

@likebossman Settle down there haha FnF

[d3yve]

1:51 - 1:56, he copies Ace Hood's flow. Hear it?

[Vungvari]

@d3yve LOL ACE WOOD< YOU REALLY GONNA COMPARE THAT WACK ASS NIGGA TO LUPE

[d3yve]

@Vungvari no comparison... but seriously listen to Hustle Hard and you will agree that lupe copied the way he sings that (for only like 2 bars though).

[NyxRedvines]

Alright. He can do better though.

[AlexBennettMusic]

Lupe over everything. 

[mehdi11]

whoever doesnt realise this is sick is officially a retard

[TwilightKnight2]

This is a good song, but it kinda blue balled me at the end. I was thinking, "Oh shit, here comes the drop. He must be preparing us for something awesome." And then it ended.

[HueyEscobar56]

To all the people complaining about how Lupe has changed:

"Listen to the words people say in their lyrics, and tell me, if that's some real shit, if that's real to you, you know what I mean. Listen to what they sayin', don't just bob your head to the beat, peep the game" - Tupac

[brownguy903]

this songs amazing, and FOTP is... alright, but I cant help but feel that Lupe's changed since the whole controversy over L.A.S.E.R.S, his music isn't bad but its not the quality of food and liquor or the cool, this was one of maybe two songs on FOTP that I actually craved to replay multiple times, Lupe's so skilled that he sounds great on anything, but hes gotta get out of Atlantic. G.O.O.D music. or get on cudis new label

[TheJWAL18]

look up the lyrics to this song and you'll catch the punchlines. it's crazy. im i rapper as well and ive been told i sund like lupe, and ill definetly be doing my version of this song.

[911madeinamerica]

@TheJWAL18 Cool story bro

[ccccooonnndddooorrr]

@TheJWAL18 Can't wait to hear your song. Why don't you just jack off into my ear and get it over with.

[Hakeem34Olajuwon]

Brandon Jennings & Under Armor send me here !

[dragon2paisa35]

@Hakeem34Olajuwon did they use this song on a commercial or something?

lol

[Hakeem34Olajuwon]

@dragon2paisa35 Yes,check it out /watch?v=Eu2zBsCYARo :)

[doin5yourmom]

Ellies voice is perfect for dubstep! <3

[Teachingcrack24]

I be super sleeping on lupe sorry :(

[iNelsonfxx]

This is better than his album work. Ashame what Atlantic does to his music. Lupe. <3

[RukiVverh12]

This is more better then the garbage you hear in the "radio" these days.

I'd rather listen to this all day then listen to "Im Sexy & I Know It" played like 5 times aday...

You can put it this way.... "You must be a radio station, but who are we, just a number one song being played OVER AGAIN and OVER AGAIN".

[bigboy9590]

The hell with Justin Bieber. Lupe should make a dubstep album after Food & Liquor II.

[ONTHETRUTH316]

rap+dubstep= multiple orgasms :)

[Vivacityy]

what the hell is this shit? fucking terrible, more like a remix by Lupe Fiasco of Ellie Goulding- Lights (bassnectar remix) his flow doesnt work witht he song at all..

[DuBBzable]

@Vivacityy yes it does. what the hell are you talking about. no other rapper could do this

[PolarSmoke]

@Vivacityy is it safe to be taking that much meth?

[Vivacityy]

@PolarSmoke yes actually.

[chosenxeno]

@Vivacityy Then why do I keep listening to this more than anything else on the Mixtape?

[likebossman]

@Vivacityy Hands down, best song on the mix tape... u don't know shit

[Vivacityy]

@likebossman Well, if this song is the best on the mixtape, then it must be a shitty mixtape.

[SirJadeMikel]

@Vivacityy If you think this isn't good music then stop listening. Simple as that. Stop hatin. It never does any good.

[jspears19]

@Vivacityy kick you down a well KIIIIDDD lol

[bball2908]

@likebossman double burger with cheese is the best song on it in my opinion 

[simonlynchsae]

whos the girl doing the back vocals? sounds like coeur de pirate

[GillisMusic]

@simonlynchsae It is Ellie Goulding

[luxio43]

his flow could be better, such a nice beat but bad flow. great lyrics as usual from lupe. decent song

[Jarory1]

Where the fuck can I download this song?

[TimeConsumer3]

@Jarory1 datpiff.com

[ddrsephiroth]

@gogodakid06 They probably won't accept you because you spelled accept "except"

[nikopaterakis]

@gogodakid06 duck you kid



[senators333]

@MrNicholasDube Shhhh, this is terrific.

[MrNicholasDube]

Rappers that take good dubstep and turn them into garbage make me angry.

[markdelauwste]

@MrNicholasDube dubstep is fucking shit, that Lupe turned it into this is fucking incredible

[PdubzCrew]

@markdelauwste

I know right, it ALL sounds the same too.

[xXWoRMachineXx]

@PdubzCrew It sounds the same? The beats changes every other second.

[reducto21]

"new gang alert. hashtag occupy". sick line.

[futbolplayercr7]

@reducto21 What does it mean?

[reducto21]

@futbolplayercr7 i think the wall street movement that was going on used the word occupy alot. its in connection to dat. maybe. but it sounds amazing either way. lyrics are amazing.

[gunot5827]

not a huge fan of lupes new stuff (last year or so) but good on him make that cash lol

[TisBoiGoTSkiLLz]

@gogodakid06 LOLOLOLOL
