Lupe Fiasco- Shining Down LIVE!

[setarcos4131]

Lupe is a G. The others are lames

[xAfr0niNjax13]

no offense to the camera man, but lets leave the song to lupe.

[iGriZzZ187]

@xAfr0niNjax13 ROFL!!!

[ShadyWays87]

You guys see that one guy back there feeling it? That's Chamillionaire. He's a big Lupe fan... It's not hard to find him, everyone else is Stiff... haha Go around 2:04 and you see him rocking a little bit

[ShadyWays87]

You guys see that one guy back there feeling it? That's Chamillionaire. He's a big Lupe fan... It's not hard to find him, everyone else is Stiff... ha

[TheLordofTheRibs]

Great video!

[klingstuh]

The guy with the white shirt on in the back on the right looks like the guy from Hip Hop Saved My Life music video... He's standing by the guy in the red

[sharksarefriends]

There's only one guy in the crowd at the back who actually seems to be enjoying himself.

[celebrityfan1990]

fuck the crowd lupe ROCKS

[lwjohnson94]

Wow what a lame ass audiance...

[cjlouis1029]

Wtf is up with all those people. Backstage pass revoked!!!

[Crash17Mayhem]

I don't really know what's going on with this kid or why I'm reading about how people hate him.... I'm not into rap what so ever, but I can't listen to this guy's songs that feature Matt Santos enough. I heard this song on the new Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit soundtrack and absolutely fell in love with it.

This guy is spillin his guts on the floor for the world to see and these people are watchin like it's some weird freak show. I happen to like his odd dancing and I love his songs.

[BearsDkills]

@Crash17Mayhem

Lupe's music is so much more than rap. His lyrics have actual meaning other than just demeaning women and getting money. He spits his heart out into every song, Lupe is the greatest MC of our generation.

[tech4156]

man fuck that entourage, they dont care about his music just wanna get paid. He just looks like the weird dancer in the club by himself. this is totally fucked up.

[TheChRiStInA1130]

does anyone know the name of the song he sang on jimmy kimmel live on 03/04/11

[broradrian]

@TheChRiStInA1130 Daydream

[plonjcc]

all of them people behind him are ungrateful bastards. man! they don't even know...

[Sicckmaster]

Ya'll muthafuckers better recognize who exactly this is.

[Sicckmaster]

Its real fucked up when your own people are sleeping on you and would rather hear some bullshit from the West coast or the South. That's just what I think. Why do you think Lupe has mad love for people in Houston and some other places... cause they actually appreciate and show respect for his shit. For instance, the fans called for an encore there and he was right back out. In KC, we call for an encore and he was like fuck it. Its cause everybody is too busy being stuck on mainstream's dick here

[MCSmithishh]

The dudes in the back disgust me with their numbness. Haha, the contrast between Lupe's raw, exuberant performance and the deadness of the group behind him is startling. Haters gon' hate, I guess.

[Sicckmaster]

@MCSmithishh I know man. People generally don't really get hype enough in the audience... unless he is in Houston or somewhere in Texas. They got mad love for him in certain places in the South, as well as internationally. I think its really fucked up when you have mad love abroad, but at home you got mad haters. That's really fucked up man. Its almost like they love Lu in other regions, but when he performs in any places in his own region, even Chi-town, they act like they don't know who it is.

[1kingOmar]

Lupe is a walking monster ...

[PdubzCrew]

WTH are the people in the back doing? wow....i would of went crazy with lupe if lupe let me

[machertel]

i love the way that he dances

[iJabbaw0ckee]

even Bun B knows when greatness is in front of him. singing to Lupe's song

[ConverseAholic]

Lupe + Akala + Lowkey + Immortal Technique = Poets.

[MassEffector7X]

Lupe's not really a rapper.... He's a poet, he DOES NOT make SONGS he makes poems to beats, now i know that what a rapper is, but lupe is not a rapper.... i dont know!! he's unique and the best but its not really fair to compare him to other rappers cuz he's not really one..... idk lol

[MURD3RXx09]

the camra guy is singing so badly hahahahahahahahah still a good song though

[Matty95rufc]

Y do all black ppl hu rap think there hard he looks like a twat

[Quarker99]

LOL did he forget to sing the second verse? The 'no, I aint the nigger tryin'...

[SickxJoshx]

@Quarker99 I think it's cuz that part was auto tuned anyway

[0uas]

How can you not like this song.

[LittleWayneCarter619]

Them people in the back gotta get into it LOL make the song almost not sick

[TotalGameMaster]

wow the camera guy is trying to sing

[teko1020]

I dont know whats more annoying... Watching the people on stage look like posters or listening to the lame ducks sing over Santos' verse with their terrible voices cracking on every word.

[xkyledubx]

@PokeIan2 Asher Roth and Lupe Fiasco are in A.C.C.C.

[henasee1]

really hip hop and not rap.

[2pkjs1351]

@henasee1 he never says he is rap

[sins7x]

@PokeIan2 you underestimating asher

[0uas]

This dude kills it live, I've seen him a couple of times. Shining down is so sick.

[SinSeared]

wtf is with the people behind him just sitting there? Totally kills the hype of him hopping around and stuff lol...

[8182570]

@SinSeared seriously.. they serve no purpose they're not even getting into it lol are they fans? his posse? Whatever lol

[InHancedTLOMusic]

wait those are rappers behind him? LOL SHUT THEM UP LOOOOOOL they're like "oh damn .." AHA

[zachkevinandlos18]

he made everyone like damn we cant mess with lupe ever

[SKEMETUBE]

were the people in the back waiting for Paul Wall & Slim Thug?

[UnlimitedProdiction1]

Lupe came to Houston and I wasn't aware of it?

[Whiteplane]

Lupe Fiasco has presence,look at him hoppan and jumping,he's happy to be there,its not about money.

[squawk25]

he could lyrically slaughter, i repeat, slaughter any rapper in the industry today

[CharizardYoda]

seems to me like he's drunk lol maybe he's just feelin it. excellent song. great rapper.

[Paremco]

@CharizardYoda he does'nt drink lol. but he is just feelin it.

[800mEric]

@CharizardYoda he's just excited he doesn't drink lol

[tigersforlife6767]

@PokeIan2 I agree man but Asher has been putting out some good shit lately. I know this was 9 months ago but since then he's been doing some dope shit.

[Renji1011]

It seems as if the people behind him were being punished for overage of ignorance. Like, literally.... theyre all standing back there watching while he performs this Masterpiece song Shining Down.... Lupe is a Genius..!

[JerryCurl34]

Nah, these lyrics are dope but honestly i believe he is becoming less intelligent more rap like. IMO, and damn theres 35 goofballs on stage. Lupe don't compromise yourself for shit!

[TyrantRave0]

Dude the black guys in the back look fucking hungry or something

[Whiteraven77]

Who are the people in the back???

[halfbreed02]

@Whiteraven77 I think saw BUn B and Cham in the mix

[godskhyld]

great song, great performance.... but i still wonder why rappers always grab their junk....

[maurinooooo]

ahahah there's only him dancing and the others like zombie hauhua

[getbuck1000]

they all were prolly drunk n high anyway

[PoloBoyPrince]

lol Bun B rocking to the music.

[JDProductionz0]

Lupe is feeling it :D

Lupe is hip-hop

[DCisMINE]

Them niggas are straight dead in the back. Why the fuck they all standin up there like that anyway.

Lupe killed it though

[MarryMeGirl41]

@PokeIan2 wtf...asher roth is dope what you talking about,,,check out his music..

[N1ckRav]

@PokeIan2 asher roth is not in the same category as the other two

[Xovs]

@N1ckRav he kinda is

[Akirose001]

Is that kayne in the bg

[skinnye1989]

yo everyone im on the come up from san antonio tx with a musical style more lyrical like this...i actually even got a song to this beat...check it out...if you like it leave me your email and ill send you my mixtape.

[JAYdaKINGSback]

i was at this show...that song was relatively new at that time #1 and #2 those dudes work for rap-a-lot or bun b some of which performed that very night so most likely they were just chillin enjoyin the show plus on top of that the song isnt something u can just dance to like that...

[NOZZ446]

haha those black people are like wtf..

[012ashleyb]

and lupe loves texas. he reps houston for some reason. Don't you notice what he says in his songs.

[jesseclifton]

the fuckin ghetto ass people in the back are so lost, they dont comprehend a damn word he is saying. its a shame the south cant recognize good music. (minus three stacks)

[JAYdaKINGSback]

@jesseclifton .and for whichever person that said the south doesnt appreciate good music...slap urself!!! most of the ppl in there were screaming for lupe to comeout the entire time the show was goin on ur idiot act like u know beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeitch!

[JLBsportsTV]

That southern crowd doesn't know great rap when its in front of them. No wonder southern rap is terrible. Idiots.

[95skelley]

Exactly

[2pkjs1351]

@JLBsportsTV well chamillionare and ti are really good to

[Reclaimer126]

bogus crowd, chumps like that don't deserve to be at a show like this. it's the crowds job to feed the aretist energy.

[DiGrouch]

big Lupe! respect from Spain

[JSC3]

What a crowd

[SaddlerV3]

LOL @ his dancing

[15erpent]

Some people don't understand why some of the rappers on stage behind lupe isn't moving that much is because there either listening or just chillin to the music.

[snowskate20]

you lucky fucker

[CanadaBoy123]

Lu dont move/moo, no cowards/cow-words/cow-herds, youve only heard/herd lines/lions

[mtnlogistics]

lupe could lyrically kill every rapper on the stage behind him...seriously.

[JoePlaya87]

[lahij]

[KohlerCampellSL]

he is deadly live!:)

[KirbyOnCronic]

dumb it down lupe...they can't understand ya...

[azbenm]

looks like TK(Terry Kennedy) in the background and i thought they had beef..all i know is TK stupid for thinking he is better than Lupe

[kanyeezy24]

Lupe rivals eminem its just nobody including the people in the crowd can comprehend or apreciate the level that he works on.

lupe made a song called dumb it down that perfectly fits the situation.

basically he and other rappers like him need to dumb it down for the majority of public to sell records. its a shame though

[alexg35]

Cudi?

[OSUbuckeyes1025]

i agree alex, lupe reminds me a lot of kid cudi

[PlasteredScene]

vice versa, kid cudi should remind you of lupe lol

[OSUbuckeyes1025]

fair enough

[champ4lyf3]

yeah lupe cudi asher and sometimes kanye i love the way they rap

[illric5]

check out my freestyle on this beat

/watch?v=Zwjxq2GAafc

[st0udemire]

maaaan, Lupe is one smart and tricky brotha! The guys behind doesn't understand shitt!!! haha..

Lupe is Jordan-esque..

[SneakerZeeker]

you see BUN B in the back?! Lupes the man. the audience is lame btw

[maddywoowoo]

The people in the back are fellow artists and others involved.

[noureddddine]

seriously?! what's up with the crowd?!!! tragic

[mjamil123]

Just to let you guys know, the crowd behind him were other rappers from Houston it took place in Houston, most of them are underground so you might didn't have seen their face.

[franciso7]

good that someone said it..that explains them behavior

[DMVsDrummer]

Lupe Look He Had Da Holy Ghost In Em,lls.

i luhh diss doee,,

nd nahtda crownd was ungrateful,,

mayb he was in like utah or sum place like dat ..lls

[monirami1000]

that crowd did not deserve to be there and hear one of the greatest.....they gave him no credit...........he is the best

[franciso7]

that not a crowd dude..those are other rappers

[GeorgeCottrell1]

the fuck is up with the crowd!?

[reignman4]

Lupes a beast, but the enthusiasm of the crowd is depressing....

[mdjackson02]

great performance but yeah i dono how those people on stage weren't into it. maybe webbs is right, too much for their minds to comprehend lol

[flyingpersian]

cameraman needs to stop singing

[franchizze]

haha

[CodysMahName]

Realest MC today

[Thespokenone]

Sorry about the thumbs down, it was a mistake. I wanted to thumbs up!!!! Lupe fiasco is real.

[Chris1L]

Lupe finna grow sum dread locks na

[TheAkizo]

i wanna punch the guy in green at 3:02

[hurrykaneecko]

lol why?

[TheAkizo]

idk.. it'd be funny as hell.

[Waiiid]

he was probly wasted

[momopamlove]

no he doesn't drink hes a muslim

[runvs2000]

gsus, someone give these zombies/crowd some crack to make them move.

[WebbsInferno]

the crowd sucks...cause they know he doesnt spit bullshit and its too much for their minds to comprehend

[Busserson]

Lupe cant sing but he sure as hell can rap

[TheReelNeel]

the other rappers know that cant match lupe.

[TCt83067695]

i was praying he didnt fall with all that moving around.

he's the best. he feels the music.

he's an icon of our generation.

and santos' voice is just mindblowing

[krazyindian187]

Wish they used this chorus :(

[oddball001]

The vocals are different.  mathew sings in a low tone during the hook. "thought i was down" isnt as stretched out as it was in the final version

[yunnsanco59]

its not a crowd its other rapppers if you look you see bun-b and chamillionare and they both rocking to it...they didnt even jump up and down when bun-b was on stage performing...but the real crowd was feeling it

[CiNtO92]

O.M.G that crowd sucks hugggeeeeeeeeeee cock dude.

[bigg781]

see that i'm everywhere.

[rahmurdaloc]

The dead crowd kills the moment. I dont think they see the lyrical side Lupe all they want is a good beat to bump there heads too..pathetic ...LOVE LUPE ...WE ARE L.A.S.E.R.S!!!

[paceq]

Nah, the crowd was actually hyped when Lupe was performing this. I was there, and it was amazing. I think its just the sound in this video.

[paceq]

And plus when he performed it, it had just got leaked and this was the first time he did it live so no one really knew the words......well....except for me tho lol

[SoItWasWritten]

I want this version of the chorus back lol

[team2Xtreme]

i agree i like this version of the chorus better than the one they went with

[chubbyboi316]

Damn Lupe is hella dope in video. I hella can't wait til his new album comes out.

Where the hell is Matthew Santos he hella needs to be in this.

Lil Wayne can't compare to Lupe at all.

[humairgay]

yo that's serious hater talk. i agree that lupe is a monster but for you to throw out "Lil Wayne can't compare to Lupe at all." when no one was mentioning wayne......... SERIOUS hater talk...

[toneFT]

Lupe killed it, fuk the wannabe thugs lookin like statues, I'd rather be myself all day like Lupe is doing then be a emotionless statue like these posers.

[beaverboiable]

ur right

[23ROCaFELLA23]

ye i totally agree

[NBA2kFaN]

best track 2009..so soon.

[n33fresh]

haha the people in the back look bored.
