[Divine009]

this album fking owns

[usc151155]

This song is not from Lasers... it was a japanese and circuit city exclusive song from the cool

[niggaplz35]

This a song from lasers

[Moonknight360]

@niggaplz35 LOL! Funny joke...

[SwagSoOfficialBitch]

@niggaplz35 This is on the cool bro

[afghankillah]

this song is absolutely amazing!! lupe fiasco best one out there right now!

[TheBappul]

wowow

[Dvviggy]

sounds like a song from lasers

[TheRayzor86]

Dont think this version is trey songz...I heard the version with trey songz

[blanketshades]

wtf this song exists ive had the cool in my car for two years listened to every song every way possible and still love it but this changes everything

[gibbylupefiascofan]

whos that doing the chorus...sounds like trey songz

[solidbobsell]

@gibbylupefiascofan lupe

[iloveherbuttsex]

@gibbylupefiascofan yeah it is trey

[BedouinExpress]

@gibbylupefiascofan it is Trey

[gibbylupefiascofan]

@BedouinExpress i knew it! lol

[Scarz1123]

y the fuck did japan only get these track, they do speak no english lol i want theses songs

[shiftas2]

@Scarz1123 because its too eye opening..hes encoded this the most with double meaning oronyms adjectives metaphors etc..in hope his lable wouldnt clock it....thats y japan is allowed it because out of the %5 that speak english that listen to this tune.......0.02% will understand it due to the amount of english word play...his label is a disgrace

[shiftas2]

if you remember....the entire cool album was leaked 6months before it went on sale..and if you heard it you know its a very controversial in the eyes of polotics...anyway when the album went on sale it didnt have half the sales instore as the leaked downloads..thats why it came so low in the charts and no one really hurd much of him..like i said..his label is a disgrace theyre tryna force him to go more commercial..rather than talk about whats relevent...thats why he was going to quit

[izzystars546]

I love the word play in this song

[kanguyman]

omg, this song is better than every song on lasers

[lwjohnson94]

@kanguyman All Black Everything?...

[kanguyman]

@lwjohnson94 all black everything is really good, but this song splits fire, even if you don't listen to the lyrics, und if you listen to the lyrics, its just epic, i don't know any instrumental that is like this one, it makes a certain atmosphere

[kanguyman]

*and

[kace842]

@kanguyman Welcome to colombia records, how may we fuck up your artist today?

[hnoors]

@kace842 Atlantic*

[kace842]

@hnoors same shit different label. They both fuck up great artists.

[Zetra7]

Japan always gets the best EVERYTHING

[KanyeWestftw]

@Zetra7 fukoshima?

[TigerMuskie08]

I love this song! But for the sake of the argument, the song "The Cool" has one of the best beats I've ever heard. Its deep and airy. I love it. But Lupe kills this track too.

[Breaker8nine]

Japan always gets the best bonus tracks

[Eznoautographs]

@All of yall this album was a great album .... You could play it from front to back and be pleased with every song , Yes his first was better but still , The Cool was a GREAT album

[DreadBoy531]

How about stop arguing about beat vs lyrics ..some songs i really relate to and speak to me because of the lyrics and the beat takes a backseat ..some songs i can really FEEL because of the beat ..theyre both important but sometimes a simple beat is whats necessary.

[wd0]

This shit is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.

Some insane beat

[Almakk1]

@chichifufu123 lol music is heavily reliant on the beat because the MUSIC is the beat. The lyrics are the poetry put to the beat. If the beat did not matter then people would be flocking to poetry shows. So its okay to be disappointed about a beat, as long as you dont automatically judge the artist off of the beat alone.

[chichifufu123]

People that care mostly about the beat(@scinnyc) is what is ruining music..music isn't all about the beat people!!! Listen to his words..what he says..the lyrics is the music..if u don't like a song because of the beat, ur an idiot..

[scinnyc]

@shackelfrdace69 for one thing, get of Lupe's dick. your the faggot jumpin to defend a man that you don't even know when i wasn't even sayin anything bad about him. what i said was the truth. if you don't believe me go look it up for yourself you bitch ass dick, nuts and azz warmer. and The Cool wasn't terrible u dumb azz, just the 7 or 8 tracks with weak beats were to me. not the lyrics, the beats.

[scinnyc]

@pimpsonic1 most of The Cool's beats were garbage that's why Atlantic gave him those popish beats on Lasers. Lasers might not be as deep as The Cool but at least nearly all the beats were good and Lupe was still sayin alotta powerful stuff

[HokutoAnsatsuken]

1 person was caught in a blackout caused by Lupe :)

[HalMas4]

alright who was the wise ass that disliked -_-

[asianinvasion0cbr]

@scinnyc what album were you listening to? lil wayne? lady gaga?

[scinnyc]

@duff4yeah how am i retarded? that album only had like 7 good songs. most of the beats on there were garbage and it didn't sell as well as his 1st album that's why his record label stepped in and made Lupe make a "better" album when he made Lasers. he had a few timeless/classic tracks on The Cool but the majority of the production was horrible

[pimpsonic1]

@scinnyc

Well alot of his true fans liked all albums, the least was Lasers, cuz the lyrics didn't go with the popish beats.

And thats why Atlantic Records is gay, they tried changin' Lupe.

[shackelfrdace69]

@scinnyc you're retarded bc you think an album that "only has 7 good songs" is terrible. fuck you faggot. go suck a dick and choke on a nut

[AsianAmerican2007]

Lupe is like a friend I never met.

[PdubzCrew]

Lupe loves Japan though

He does karate (japanese martial art or okinawa lol)

He likes anime, Japanese art and his band is called japanese cartoon

That's why they get a bonus track lol

[scinnyc]

@jsd013 cause i wanted Blackout. that 70% weak album need all the good songs it could get!

[duff4yeah]

@scinnyc 70% weak? youre retarded

[cisseusa123]

@scinnyc are you delusional? "The Coolest" "Fighters" "The Die" "Dumb it Down" "Gotta Eat" etc.. lol That album was impeccable. You're trippin. But hey you have your opinion so I won't impose my thoughts on you.

[goofy4ever07]

one person blacked out and landed on dislike

[themochababy1315]

haha Why does Japan get everything...

[Robinnization]

@themochababy1315 hahaha was thinking the exact same thing

[scinnyc]

This song was acctually a Circuit City bonus track. unfortunately i got my The Cool cd at Best Buy. and yes i was mad

[jsd013]

@scinnyc why u mad bro?

[Supafly6000]

HOLY SHIT....... EARS ARE ORGASMING

[BeatBoxJamProduction]

It's not even Japanese, why can't we get this song?

[losersloversweirdos]

@BeatBoxJamProduction In Japan CD's cost more and they make the CD's differently which is why it cost more.

Thus to make it equal they add bonus tracks. It's not just on this album it's on all of them.

[Breaker8nine]

One person is afraid of the darkk!

...haha couldn't pass it up

[EDWARD9265]

@TehPapaSmurf No the one that's redone with Trey on the chorus in supposed to be on LASERS

[Super2slow4u]

"Only one eye

Whole lot of them

Saw a cyclops

That's a eye clock

Like a Rolex

With a eye patch"

he does mention something about the illuminati

[GixxerR5]

@Super2slow4u cud be

[TheCrazz123]

@maumriie Damn I GET IT!

[chicagoo17]

damn japanese

[scinnyc]

@tjmack010 this was also a bonus track if u bought it from the now defuct Circuit City. i was pissed cause i bought mine from Best Buy. oh yeah, check out my tracks on my channel if u want

[SuperChosang]

is that u sing ing...tenzin kalsang...sounds like ur voice...

[TheCrazz123]

Wait. can people in Japan understand english?

[dakidd4110]

@TheCrazz123 can Americans understand Japanese the Majority of the world understand some type of English I bet there som heads in japan who understand heck everyone in the world has listened to tupac and he speaks English so it doesn't matter if they can't understand at least they are getting quality music

[zeroman626]

@TheCrazz123 English is a worldwide language schools in different countries are teaching it in schools. So yea.

[Reburm]

lupe is black

[rapidchaos777]

@Reburm lool thanks for letting us know =P

[Reburm]

@rapidchaos777 Sorry, it was second-hand information. haven't confirmed it yet

[tjmack010]

My mom got me The Cool for christmas in 2007 and this was on the CD, so im guessing that they did release this in america, not unless she flew to Japan to buy the album for me or something lol.

[crossface40]

@tjmack010 she probably brought it online/

[TheSuirad]

[deshon300]

@jesseclifton ik thats what im saying

[999qqoopo]

@roehee1234 daym that would be awesome, call up luda tell him we want u 2 be his agent lol

[adkor3]

i think the reason why lupe gave japan the bonus track in japan is because japan loves lupe,s music in japan lupes very reveared in opposed to the us were he doesnt have a fan base as big as japan,s

[diazbro1990]

@adkor3 why dont u say japan one more time?

[adkor3]

[Reapin48]

If he was doin bad i'd kill superman

no idea why I love that line so much

[ryanthemute]

@Reapin48 dogg thats my favorite line on the track too

[heitzmack]

@Reapin48 close, but not quite. "I'm feelin' good, like a villian would, if he was doin bad, killin' superman." but you're right, that is the best verse and line from the song.

[Reapin48]

@heitzmack Aww, thanks for the correction man, that's even more badass haha

[gio1764]

THERE IS NO ILLUMINATI,LEAVE THESE GREAT MC's alone,humans are always trying to tear each other down

[TheSuirad]

[mshellz2008]

whoever dislike this song , is a gucci lil wayne d*** rider. whats the matter cant keep up with the flow ? hahahaha its cool! he be done wit atlantic real soon & no more commercials 4 yall. u aint heard nothing yet he fin 2 drop lasers.

[roberto2]

0 dislikes thats wassup

[Albot07]

He's anti-illuminati. He's also fucking incredible on the mic.

[MisterBankz]

This been out for 3 years & Im just hearing it ?! >:/

[muradhopkins7]

if yu see, why did the eye fall first and it was jus the pyrimid standin'...idiot

[muradhopkins7]

shut up u ignorant idiots...if yu watch and listen closely, he's fukkin dissin them...go do some studying yu fukkin retards!!!

[gotsteeze92]

At everyone. Stop sendin me comments. Suck my dick. Those comments are old. Im a Lupe fan. Probably have been longer than you. So if you got somethin to say then write it neatly in a letter, fold it up, seal it in an envelope...and blow it out your asshole.

[sins7x]

I'm tired of this illuminate talk is stupid as hell. Go do this shit on Jay-z page

[muradhopkins7]

@sins7x Rite man...trynna say Lu wit dat shit, they jus some paranoid illuminati feens...get a life and put some God up in it ignorant fuxx

[gotsteeze92]

Never been a follower. Not in my whole life.

[tjwilliams42]

fareal fareal Lil wayne anit dis good hahaa. 80% of his lyrics r saying Sh*t, F*ck, motha f*ker, well u get da point... =D

but have u ever heard lupe fiasco say one of those words.? ture talk lol hahaa

[psychoninja77777]

@gotsteeze92 are you smoking some good shit, every other rapper/emcee/artist/orator when they rap, sing, speak, or talk does something with their hands it's not meant to mean anything it's just something to do with their hands so they aren't just standing around looking confused, you'd know this shit if you took a speech class instead of listening to everything in the media

[gotsteeze92]

@psychoninja77777 Hey bitch nigga, I'll let you know I passed Speech class sophmore year with an A.

[sins7x]

@gotsteeze92 Damn your stupid

[gotsteeze92]

@sins7x blow me.

[sins7x]

@gotsteeze92 fag

[gotsteeze92]

@sins7x nice comeback

[sins7x]

@gotsteeze92 thanks for the compliment

[dapadawan]

dont lynch me but the lyrics sounds like he sold his soul to the industries entity in the first verse

sat back to watch the others go further into it than he did

once again hes cool and calm in this darkness the final lights will be diminished

and now hes either the final act or the final defiance

and we cant see him because the the industry got everyone brainwashed or we cant see him cause he blends in playing his part

[layziebones012]

i've never heard this before. it's my new favortie song now.

[TheSuirad]

whats he talkin about in this song?

[mikoico]

why only sold this version in japan i know its a great country one of the best but we deserve it too now i need to download ik illegal and i cant suppord lupe

[Schuman4x]

Maybe people would take you more seriously if you knew how to spell and use punctuation.

[TCt83067695]

@mikoico and its a really nice track. the music industry is quite annoyin

[ike401]

i thought da symbol meant the cool the game and the street.

[quemac2]

So this's lights out, like a lighthouse, in the daytime, make it lay down, make it go 2 bed, make it go 2 sleep, like D-bo, who needs jumpin Craig, thats a headlock, its wat i said i got, the whole game in, like shooter box, then the shokazuki, if u kno the movies, i'll ninja vanish, Micheal Dudikroff

[whizzle50]

Man Lupe Is Hella Lyrical Homie!!! ANd This Beat Is Killer!!!!

[cassidy18908]

man this is fly " but u can't see me, thts cause everything is black!'

[MrRecklessBehavior2]

I'd never heard this track until now, and all I can say is. DAAAAMN!!! Lupe tha New Twista!!!!! :)

[Tomishungry]

yup yup fuck illuminati, they can control the majority of the world but rebellion will always happen.

[khanell786]

lupe is not a part of that pussy clan illuminati!!

[smiley77060]

when i listen to lupe i hear the effort and timeand thought process he putsin his shit. rappers nowadays dont have that effort no more it dont sound like they trying

[Vinny6420]

fuck the illuminati!!!

if i die u guys kno why

[shamshamx]

r u still alive :o?

[Vinny6420]

Na this is his brother, he disappeared last night, i dont know what to do

[DeftJay]

You're so noble and unafraid of the Illuminati, it's amazing.

[shamshamx]

LOL!!!

[KrishanKSharma]

that rhymes =D

[C0NTRIX]

lmaooo.

[MrMike93100]

This for the CLUB

[lookSOflyLIKEme1]

Beat is crazy. Lupe Fiasco N1 in the Game right now!

[spidy2396]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Suicide watch

I'm just killin' time

Plus I'm insane

In a straight jacket

[WrathOfDemons]

if u look at the sign its a shape of a triangle hes apart of that Illuminati shit

[0xKingJamesx0]

haha no hes not the triangle connects the symbols of the three metaphorical characters on the album

[WrathOfDemons]

wats up with the eye that the c and o make in fiasco bet u aint see dat 1 did u

[0xKingJamesx0]

yea i did and thats metaphorical also, its referrin to the idea that everyone is seein the dark events and acts presented in his album, but no one does anythin about them. u obviously dont listen to lupe enough to realize that everythin he does has a deeper meanin

[phsycokidx000]

the cool design was based of of muslim and arabic characters so its not illimunati... whats with all you paranoid people?

[Tomishungry]

watch all the videos that us crazy "illuminati conspiracy theory" followers are watching and believing, they are backed up by so many facts, people just have been so brain washed that its hard to realize the truth, thats why im always telling people the old saying, "the truth hurts" coz it really does. even the smallest things are brainwashing people from just looking at images in brand advertisements with 1 eye (eye of lucifer) to the triangle and pyramid shaped objects, they are ruling us.

[phsycokidx000]

lupes not part of that shit

[Tomishungry]

i know hes not, never said he was apart of the illuminati, im just stating that people should know about the illuminati. Lupe is very anti illuminati hes attacked them so much im suprised he hasnt been targeted. listen to songs like " the instrumental" from F&L and "Little Weapon" from the cool.

[gotsteeze92]

theres some illuminat shit in lupes new video tho. i was pretty pissed when i seen it

[BHVthe81st]

@gotsteeze92 the solar midnite video? I dont remember there being anything related to the illuminati on there. I think that was his last video.

[gotsteeze92]

theres an illuminated pyramid above him in all the scenes where he's with that band. he also throws the baphomet sign a couple of times.

[xZiia]

@BHVthe81st I think most artist dont have choice. The artist that tried to go against the Illuminati all ended up dead or had their lives ruined.

So i still respect Lupe.

[SuckMySwagEnt]

@BHVthe81st im beaming video, pyramid and the eyes

[DopeMC209]

@SuckMySwagEnt If it is illuminati symbolism, it's due to the video director, not Lupe

[SuckMySwagEnt]

@DopeMC209 true, and honestly, either way he's still the greatest, who cares XD
