Switch - Lupe Fiasco

[CSLspidey66]

All that being said, the lyrics have little depth, but Lu shows that he is the collimation of all rap styles.He shows that he is the best. He can play in any ring with any style or genre. 

[CSLspidey66]

Let me break it down for you people who think this only dumbed down people understand this song.

Lupe starts off switching between rap styles to show the different ones.

Smooth rap style *SWITCH* One-word-rhyming style *SWITCH* Intimidation/Hard rap style *SWITCH* Speed rapping (twisting)

For the second verse Lu does the 4 "genres" of rap

Ganster Rap *SWITCH* Conscious Rap *SWITCH* Materialistic/Bling Rap *SWITCH* Poor Rap

For the last one Lu changes styles on each SWITCH.

[CardiacKatz]

You, you, you, yes, let the words woo you

till you woozy, let the lyrics subdue you,

Massage and soothe you, move you

Till consciousness lose you, Lu now rules you,

Do what Lu do, and you'll do beautiful

SWITCH!

[Outlaw4life123]

[cisseusa123]

[cisseusa123]

@Outlaw4life123 lol He was being sarcastic dude. Did you not listen to the song?? lmao He said "this is an experiment" the whole song haha He was switching personalities hence the title "Switch" dude. lol

[DynastyEmpire]

/watch?v=r8tUm1cGIzo

[itrguy000]

this beat is old but lupe makes it hella fresh man

[2xN]

Lupe destroyed this track. He's got some of the most insane lyrics mainstream rap has seen this decade. And the beat is pretty nasty as well.

[tomiscool243]

i cant stay away from this fresh beat

[djbreed]

Chamillionaire did the Switch first

[shodown11]

So Cham did switch first. Just because you come out with sumin first doesn't mean its hotter. Lupe destroys every track he is on. There is only a handle full and I mean a hand full that always constintly destroys other people's tracks. He happens to be the best lyrical wise. Name me a track and I can match that.

[fabb23bam23]

@djbreed lupe's is better doe

[VoltecT]

not bad.... :)

[Qbakss]

aww shit

[duceduse22]

i thought the beat for still tippin was pretty good.

but the people on it were horrible.

[BoxMikel6]

great

[BigJuan3134L]

fuck mike jone, wat up lupe

[kr3w5892]

wtf what a retard

who the fuck cares if it is over another beat

[sharpie713]

thats bull shit that fucking piece of shit copied tha beat from tiping on 4 4 s thats a houston song bitches

[lilgeodaprince]

lol chill its call a mixtape many rappers do this they take beats and make their version of the song i mean look at G Unit they did the same thing go look up Bitch What You Know its not uncommon

[akha618]

dumbass

[akha618]

and btw the songs name is "still tippin" not tippin on 4 4 s....get ur facts str8..and u say ur frm h-town

[phildoc3]

wow, every time i think i've heard lupe's best he comes hard with something amazing like this

[im3d4492]

there is no diffrence between hip hop n rap. u rap about hip hop.

[lilgeodaprince]

Chamillionaire and Lupe would MURDER a track it would be the nastiest masscure since the Al Capone V Day Masscure

[gasclouds]

yea that'd be cool

[rivotrakit]

(hip- )is the knowledge..(hop) is the movement..its more than music......

[logic33157]

thats right

[zazaz95]

Very wise words from KRS-1

[ryangalvez]

lupe is a lyrical genius and he speaks truth not like da new kids in the rap game

hip hop over rap

[llGeassll]

i like slim thug and mike jones's version but Lipe killed it... (in a good way)

[mstrinati]

thats real rappin

[iRULEYAY]

No. this is real Hip-Hop. Rap is for ignorant niggas.

[Nasir233]

Yo there iz no difference between rap and hip-hop!

[AfroJones42]

Hip Hop is the culture, rap is the music.

[Nasir233]

yea datz correct!

[ryangalvez]

SOOOOOOO TRU

[xXFckUNigsXx]

[zezima0613]

[threeproblems]

i need th lyrics:|

[Gold14Bronze]

you gotta see this man live! He is genius (pun intended) live on stage, save tribe hip-honors 2005, but that could happen to anyone.

[tubeuser2222]

"They can't touch the sound

that I'm busting now.

It's like a cloud trying to touch the ground.

Tough and bound, ever since we're touching down.

Jealous niggas catch your feelings cuz I'm hustling now." ------Who else got a sick flow like that? Lupe is one of the nicest lyricists alive......if u aint heard "hip hop saved my life" you missin out on a classic. F&F up

[ladyj2184]

damn this is so sick i gotta cough!

[Tddygrams112221]

[Estudabee]

"chill, nigga. Go get a skill, nigga." Real Talk

[yozzy20]

[Sasuke31er]

@yozzy20

[meestakorea]

[dramakingmcdade]

The way he is making fun of every mainstream crapper...oh excuse me, RAPper, is really funny. I enjoy this song because it is laden with sarcasm. Thanks Lupe.

[TechDeck723]

where can i get an mp3 of this shit

[callmedavidd]

dang this has to be one of lupes best songs

[Espanolguy1]

lupe is tryin to say that hip hop is dead and the fact that nost of these rappers talki about the neccesities that they have and what but lupe is sayin the total opposite.

[ytoob32]

lupe is so COOL

[moonchild10210]

This is one of my favorite songsby Lupe

[l3orzillo]

this song is fuckin insane

[DuRock]

If you ddin't know. NAS is the reason LUpe became a rapper.

[lo0sechange]

actually he started listenin to mainstream hip-hop an hated it but some how loved it like most of us do today

[DuRock]

I have a video interview of HIM SAYING, and I quote, "Nas is the reason I became a rapper. The album It was written inspired me to become a rapper." You can find the interview on youtube.

[ReeseGunna]

fa real...omg, Nas is one of the reasons why I wanna be up there w/ some of the best!

[WutMMOuPlay]

nas???????

[ewelkaThug]

All wack rappers hear&learn!!! zajebioza

[zsparx]

good shit!!!!

one of da best

[Wildcard264]

how is this spam?

[redsongz]

this track is hard as hell!!!

[7DEADLYDEEDS]

i like superstar better

[brizziebabie]

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh man!!!

fuckkkkkk this nigga is definately up ther with biggie jigga & nas i dnt give a fuck what you say

[aguerrero1]

Dude, he's already better than all of them.

[BZLIAN99]

He's pretty damn good....but he doesn't beat NaS. Come on now.

[stuartfiasco]

naw he's not better than nas but he is the nas for the new generation. highly lyrical but outshined by more commercial rappers. kinda like nas and jay. jayz is incredible on the mic but not as good as nas lyrically. but jay can be lyrical and make songs for radio. nas hard a hard time with that or maybe just didnt care. lupe seems to be the same

[BZLIAN99]

Yeah, I agree with that. It's actually kind of interesting because the name Nasir is Arabic for the word protector, and Lupe is a muslim artist. I also hear Nas has a new album coming out.

[84maserati]

lupe is the best. period.

[explicit069]

switch purley nt keepin da same flow 4 more dan 8 bars. switch

[darka4ever]

AND THIS, LADIES & GENTLEMEN, IS WHY LUPE FIASCO IS ONE OF THE BEST LYRICISTS ALIVE!!!

FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T REALLY GET IT, THIS SONG IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FREESTYLE, WHERE EVERY TIME LUPE SAYS SWITCH HE CHANGES HIS FLOW TO A DIFFERENT RAPPER PERSONALITY, HENCE CREATING CHARACTERS LIKE: (the cocky gangsta, the hustler, the playa, the thug, the intellectual guy, the Flashy guy, the hard working guy and the killa)

[Track4life24]

ooooooooooo thanks after i wrote that i listen to it and relized its still under my favorits

FNF UP

[Track4life24]

FnF Up

Chicago Main

[Track4life24]

I like Lupe Fiasco but he cussed too much

still the best but if he makes more songs lik this he will be lik Lil Wayne:( if you dont agree click reply and back up ur answer

[darka4ever]

dude, juss read my comment on top ... doubt u a true Lupe fan ... or maybe u just dont really listen 2 da lyrics lika alota peeps ...

[koolfun23]

ur an idiot hes experimentin wit dif stylz ITS HIS frankenstein. evrytime he ses switch he changes his styl.

[remix1on1]

cussed to much what the hell are you talking about, listen to all his song and count the number of times that he cusses you loser.. DONT COMPARE OF the greatest to one of the worset... WTF LIKE lil wayne you are retarded...

[randomefg]

You have to realize that Lupe would probably not make songs like this again, he just did this to show people how easy it is to rap like every other mainstream rapper out there. Lil Wayne is nowhere near Lupe, and Lupe WILL NEVER even come close to stooping down to the level of Lil Wayne.

[Shokk1234567]

Well, the lyrics would indicate that he's contrasting his style of rap and the message it sends to the kind of message other rappers send.

[jarek154]

ya i know

but this shit was so hottt

in a mainstream kinda way

i was listening to it and kept saying

lupe is killing it

lupe is killing it

over and over again

lupe is a real hip hop artist

[RubberBandMn]

wow studdy before you come with that but yea hes the best but hes cussing to make fun of other rappers

[RickTheStick13]

I'm a hustler creeping with my hat low.

Niggas know I pack so,

what they gonna do that for?
