This sounds so much better than the overproduced one on the album. Maybe on par with the live version before it was autotuned and rocked out. Great job!
yooo this shit was good and im a huge lupe fan so im very critical when it comes to some one cover lupe lol keep it up trace...do more lupe covers lol
Absolutely amazing man! I would LOVE for you to put the full 2nd verse in there... I think that really brings it home. But I give you mad props and now I feel like trying this, but I don't think I could give you (or Lupe) justice.
@Vissor appreciate it..i would be too. actually i look back on this vid now and feel like its weak. perhaps its time to re-record and add the 2nd verse? thanks for the comment.
This is a great cover. I know how hard it is to rap while playing guitar, and when I've done it, the lyrics weren't as hard as these are. I can barely imagine what it would be like to rap some of the more lyrically dense and complicated rap song out there while playing guitar.
@ " 1 " who didnt like it : that must be lupe fiasco himself who did not like the way this dude murdered and buried his own track jk lmao FNF UP all Day MARCH 8th i cant wait.. nice one son
This is awesome....did you notice when he picks up his guitar it bumps into the guitar holder and chair and adds a cool sound to the beatboxing beat. 15 seconds in.
Do i hear a little Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"? Very Similar, especially in lupe's original. Wont be completely sure until the single drops. Love this version though, Great job dude
this is really good bruh...i just heard his song for the first time today and saw your cover right after...you're mad talented...pay no attention to all the critics
This is great stuff, i dont like your high pitched singing, but your guitar play is lovely and when you rap with normal voice it's amazing. Thumbs up, you're great.
So good... ur on my ipod against ur will lol i went to a site that pulled ur song from the video, u have the most amazing voice and its getting me through alot of problems in my life.
man, i've been waitin on this song for almost a year. Thanks for makin somethin i can listen to before Lasers comes... and god willing, it'll come. fnf up.
Damn bro, when you started rhyming I was like, Lupe? lmao, but nah bro this is maaad good. Many props to you bro, lets hope L.A.S.E.R.S. comes out soon
Can I have you number? god I'm such a creep.Maybe your facebook? you don't have to marry me if you don't want to. only if you really want me to pull the ring out?:)
Uhhh wow... i did not expect it to be this damn good, good job man, sounds better then the live footy i been listening too, i cant wait to hear the real studio version.
I clicked on this video not knowing what to expect, i was just reading the comments before you started to sing and everybody said they loved it. You started to sing and play the guitar and i found myself thinking the exact same thing. This is really good! Keep it up!
Writing as a huge Lupe fan I just want to thank you for this really lovely cover! I saw him in concert a week ago and his emotional delivery of every word really stuck with me. When I saw your video, I was struck by the way that you managed to evoke the same feeling with your cover as the original while undoubtedly making the song your own. I can't wait for LASERS to drop so you can set this up to download! I've watched this video so many times I'd like an MP3 version of it! Thanks again!
This is perfect.
