[fushia74]

He is soooooooooo cute in this interview. He seems so shy and sweet. aw

[NonnnnO92]

I don't know if I'm the only one noticing this but doesn't he seem a bit shy around women?? I think it's so cute......

[TiffanyNT02]

@NonnnnO92 I was thinking the same thing. but then it got me thinking and i was like what if he go that other way. but i don't think he do

[SkittlezAddict4Eva]

@TiffanyNT02 No, he's muslim lol and he's had a 'supermodel' gf since he was 17!

[TiffanyNT02]

@SkittlezAddict4Eva oh ok who was she? why they always gotta be dating the model chick. theres so many other categories.

[aGwEENapple]

@NonnnnO92 Yes, it's very, very cute because he's so adorable. =)

[650Pisces]

[bubrub23]

Who disliked?

Seriously.

[lenamay521]

Yeah I think the interviewer lady does like Lupe! LOL But I admit he is a cutie though! LOL :)

[thebluestdiamond]

[nnamdi368]

lupe fiasco is trying to bring real hip hop, but people just don't see that

[TEAMAFROSAMURAI]

i wanna hear an alubum with lupe, kanye, jay z, drake, ice cube, eminem and lil wayne back when he use to be good with all of them on every song and each song be about four minutes

[Waardaa]

I love his nerdy-ish laugh.

[TheDr0pper]

nice interview

[twiztidlestat]

That comic/cartoon...of course...like most hip hop stuff didnt come out. This interviewer was more interesting in flirting and trying to fuck....

[AfroDrumChild]

[thebluestdiamond]

@AfroDrumChild Did she call him"Loopy"?

[bptchargers]

[Roachross2]

...heavy is heaven the devil's only 2x2...

-iLL

[faze213]

lupe's always looks outside the box and doesnt follow the crowed

[tdub731]

I follow the same philosophy...

CHECK THE VIDS!

[MrShwaa]

lupe's a killa.

keeping it real.

[Doomknight66]

Lupe, Mos Def, and Nas. Are the first resurrect er of hip hop. And Lupe is my Favorite rapper Alive. Keep it real.

[TEAMxEPICxSPACE]

dont u hate how people say lil wayne is the best raper. wtf people dont know hip hop

[huso20]

people who say lil wayne is "the best rapper" dont know shit abaut hip hop

[patrick139]

True. I don't understand what wayne could be the best in. Except making trash that sounds good to the ear.

[bazzsofly]

all ur talk of wayne just makes him more noticed! FUCK THAT QUEER...

[ADAtl11]

thank you

[J11oNE]

OMW!!! It's absolutely pathetic man.

It's ok though, the average iq is 100 (In my country that is) Lupe's music requires way more than that.

Lupe is not for the weak of brain :D haha

[jbunit2007]

@TEAMxEPICxSPACE Put You On Game explains it all

[WupeViasco]

While all other rappers wer warin baggy clothing Mr.fiasco... freshind the game up..... yall other rappers gotta take notes.... lupe is the best...

[sameera642]

He's the most talented rapper I've ever seen, not like those bling bling ones...

[musicgreat30]

[BR3WCI7YB4NG4]

[Redefined1115]

Yo Lupe...I think that chick wanted you to be her superstar lol...big girls need luv 2

[girbaudnikes22]

yeh i dont like fat chicks but she not disgustingly fat id beat she jus thick

[thekidease]

lupe fiasco is the best!

[Mozzin101]

Get it right, people are people. Crazy people can easily bring down anything, like some "gangs", well, when gangs were really just get togethers before crackheads came in. Anyways, those stupid muslims in the middle east (not preaching hate) keep to retarded stereotypes, but so do we. IN the end, PEOPLE CAN FUCK UP GOOD THINGS AND MAKE AND GIVE SHADY VISIONS OF THEM.

[daydreamin09]

where are the cool vids?

[boombox602]

damn ppl

it dont matter about religion

thats for after life..

this is life and more specifically here music haha

jus let it go

[RenagadeNif]

true dat

[quante32]

She did a good job interviewing him.She wasnt like the others who interview him.Shes more cool and suave wit it.Much spect

[powerfulcleaner]

lupe is cool dude, may Allah the most high bless u in this life with the word of the Quran and the sunnah of the prophet Muhammed.

[lenamay521]

Yeah I think she likes him too! LOL

[1moomed23]

d violent, but also how we are suppose to be protected but ended up getting attacked from the inside by terrorist now listen to the song and tell me if you hear that u don't cuz your a simple minded fool

[lolkek126]

Does a rapper like Lupe Fiasco trying to be innovative and "deep" make him that?

I think you guys make him that when hes just saying his viewpoint on real life issues in his music.

When I think of innovative and deep I think of

Aesop Rock, not Lupe

[1moomed23]

are u dump or stupid music is artiest point of view. they become deep by the way they express it 4 Ex. Day Dream lupe speak about a robot, now do u get what the robot is??? or what the track Intruder alert is about?? they are not what they seem, in day dream the robot is the corruption of this world starting from the hustlers to the politicians and where he belong in it and if that is not deep i DONT KNOW WTF IS, and in intruder alert is not just about the alerm going off for rape an...

[muslim745]

so many people know nothing about religion. They just know the face of religion and run off that and think thats enough. Life is not about our selfish ways and how we want to live. People think thats what being free is about. We where put here on earth by god so now when we get of age and have knowledge to do things on our own we want say "i want to live like this or life is about that" not thinking that all this was here way before we got here and will be when we leave here.

[muslim745]

Firtst thing as far as law of man and law of religion there is no such thing. God created man and religion come from god as well because religion is a way of life and life should be lived according how god specified it should be lived seeing that he created man, the world, the sun, moon, stars, everything you can and cannot see. So why try live life on earth in your own way. And not the way the all knowing said to

[cracbk]

i think she like him

[STARRhyding]

10:10-10:25

Lu always seems to have the nicest jackets =]

[NerDz6]

we do hav law... A law of man and law of religion.. Could u judge a person action on a whole.. Plsss...

[Yusupov29]

Methstar what if I say all Americans are stupid, fat, and ignorant. It would be wrong because they aren't all like that, or all Jews are cheap, and black hearted, that would be ignorant too, people like you and with ideas like you create racism, and hatred in this world.

[Tabish]

meth your an idiot and you should do some real research before you go and criticize on religion.

[Methstar]

I really like lupe especially the fact that his music is really deep and makes you think.

But i got to disagree with one thing HATE me for it i dont mind, BUT i really dont think lupes respect for woman comes from his Muslim religion, cause i KNOW alot of muslims and they got NO respect for woman at all.... even in the religion woman are disrespected and got almost NO rights and thats fucked up.... thats my opinion No doubt lupe is a Respectful man but its not cause of the religion

[Yusupov29]

Wow dude its lil messed up how you refer to all Muslims... how about Turkish, Albanians, Yugoslavians, Uzbek's, African Muslims which don't have alll right for women, only 2 countries that may have limited womens rights are Iran, and Saudi Arabia.

[ALKNswitchALKN]

youre an idiot

[HaitianMuslim]

@MethStar: I agree with the first two commentators in that you don't know what you're talking about. Your simply spewing the old Bush-regime-type media jargon. Oh, as if women in Christian countries are respected! The legalization of porn and prostitution, the use/abuse of women in advertisement (what does a woman in a bikini have to do with a car?), the abuse of women in videos, in lyrics, in movies. Ur just so brainwashed that you can't see the filth on ur doorstep!!! Stick to basketball, kid!

[Str8Ghostin]

Real truth man, I agree with you 100 percent.

[24TheCool24]

Hold time. Don't judge ALL Christians like that. It was WRONG for methstar to say that, i guess, but I am a Christian and I 100& respect woman. Don't judge all Christians like that. I DO NOT judge all Muslims like a terriost, cause in actually EVERY RELIGION has their "crazy people"

[youngfase5]

watuup ayiti! but um about this women being respected and what not, women in this country have freedom unlike some muslim countries. When it comes to respect, thats something you gotta earn. So if a woman chooses to live that lifestyle, thats just as far as her respect will go. it has nothing to do with Christianity, or Bush jargon, I mean c'mon the guys not even really Christian.

[RenagadeNif]

im sorry but i agree with him. there are people from every religion race ethnicity and culture that are sexist and racist. and anyways respect for women( or as a matter of fact respect for anything) shouldnt come from your religion it shoulodd be because you honestly believ it

[getacomb]

haha totally agree, she obviously wants that lupe dong in those thick thighs and floppy tits

[orangesandmilk101]

when lupe said the respect for women came from his muslim religion, i was thinking about the way the black culture view our women. i realized that black women are often portrayed as the superwoman who always suffers and takes all the crap from the world and black young ladies often seen as whores and go-getters. That may be why black and nonblack cultures treat these women with little respect. We let the media brainwash us and in turn brainwash our black bros and sisses...we should be ashamed.

[HoodSta93]

yeh yeh true. if there was no porn industry, women stripping off in music videos etc, i think people would respect women a lot more, it is these things that need to be abolished. Saying that though it is fundamentally the desire of, sadly, most men. they see women as objects and so by watching seedy porn films, using a prostitute, they essentially drive this whole lack of respect for women, unfortunately the youth of today are constantly bombarded by this through the media-bringing up the next..

[HoodSta93]

... generation of male bigots. Also to get attention some women lower themselves to fulfil the seedy fantasies of these corrupt minds and in essence loose respect for themselves. this is one of the main subjects of the Cool in that treating women in this way somehow is seen as "cool". and so if the media keeps portraying women in this way I cant see it coming to an end... sad aint it. WOMEN RESPECT YOURSELVES YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE!

[PecknarmLondonEnland]

She wants a piece of him.

[BboyMisterE]

if it wasnt for lupe fiasco i culda neva wrote somethin like this

now picture this thought, whether ur an artist or not, imagine if america made all the clothes thatt we bought, the j's n reebox, runnin shoes wit red shox, n of course them soccer sox, they wuld all come ina fancy box, wuld if we ate all tha fish that we caught, instead of hangin em on a wall, n we shuld make electric cars so our engines neva stall, neva anotha recall, toys wuld be made in the U.S, n we wuld neva be in debt

[Jamez8888]

maybe next time bro

[Stendec3]

Lupe is a poet.

[Rondy808]

you cant say that he doesn't rap about money, cars, and bitches most of his flow is based on the that ish, but he puts it all in a more complex and intresting light. unlike souljah girl, pliers and all that garbage stop confusing hip-pop with hip-hop children

[rochdalesleeper]

lupe is a legend, he by himself saved hip hop when she was on her life bed. Plus its good to see a young, black muslim role model.

Peace

[illmaticnastynas]

Hip-Hop is still fucked up, but Lupe is doing his thing. Gotta respect him for putting out real Hip-Hop as a new artist.

[hsnthr]

First off let me just say that Lupe is the best rapper in the game right now 'cause he raps about real shit and not money, cars, or bitches and doesn't get the recognition he deserves, as for the longevity thing Lupe has his own label called FNF and although lupEND looks to be his last album (hopefully not)he has partenered up with Kanye and Pharrell to form Child Rebel Soldier and they might come out with an album in the future, but if we want Lupe to not retire u gotta buy his albums!!

[yhyhyugi]

true true

[PhilTreyH]

exactly. dont bootleg his shit. go to fucking walmart, circuit city, his website, or whatever just support dis dude.

[Wordlaw50]

Yeah but lupe is only releasing 3 albums and thats it. So what does he mean about having longevity when he's only going to be around for just a few years. But still it's FNFUP!!!!

[jvdmic]

Lupe has released alot mix tapes before food & liquor came out, he was cool with jay-z before he got out of highschool so because he wasn't as big as he is now he has been in the game for a while

[Wordlaw50]

FNF UP!!!!!!!

[blackjoshcc]

hahah "die-hard fans will be like YO! is that the dude from this song!"

he isnt lying. i pick up shit like that all the time

[franciso7]

damn i just wanted to write the same comment about the Lupe fans...because i m fan too...and i m on nearly every Lupe video on youtube with my comment....hhahahahh....watch out for comments from "francisco7"

[Cronickman]

lupes uneasy laugh is hilarious lol hehehehehehe

[shelana2008]

yeah your right its to soon to cal him a legend but this brothas swag is CRAZY so real son..his damn good

[flemfamily]

WoW!!!!! Lupe is the coolest geek EVA!!!!!! LoL i promise ya..dis guy is my idol and i amdire evythang about da guy (no homo...he always do him and nobody else...thats wat i respect about da guy...man i wish i could meet dat guy LoL!!!! -Lue's Prodigy

[claimer4]

:D i agree

[blackjoshcc]

lupe isnt a legend atm.. hes the underdog so to say. most people dont know about him.. just like KRS ..

[liamboiiIRL]

i think u mean CRS unless ur talking about KRS-one!! but u wrong anyway every1 knows lupe!!

[Emman92]

but not many people like him, which is sad, he is my fav musicain, and he is hella tight. all his songs are hot. and oh ya they called him lupi fiasco, lol WTF!!!

[liamboiiIRL]

ohh hes undoubtfully my fav artist aswell but i was listening to lupe before the cool even came out back in the food and liquer days and ive noticed a big change! i hear alot of ppl talk about him calling him one of the only good rappers out today! which is no doubt in my mind true!!

[pimprish42]

big ups to Lupe man. dis dude iz hot. he be his self on the his tracks and dats wat hip hop iz about.

[willmoney07]

wuz it me or did it seem like she wuz flirtin???

[hiphopextrodinaire]

somebody dont kno shit about islamic ways......

[coolsosa915]

I forgot the interviewer's name, but she annoyed the hell out of me.

[Nikelea]

I actually liked this interview. It was more laid back and personal. And I don't think Lupe was awkward at all. He seemed to enjoy the interview actually and the compliments he received. Heck, I'd probably be like that too, smiling in his face and trying not to act like a fan. I would've told him to turn around and show us his "jacket" too. I did like the sparkles though.

[ModernModr]

why the hell is he talking about himself in the 3rd person?!? I though "The Cool" was supposed to be about not indulging in your own ego.

[thebuckestnicca]

what are you talkin about?

[jellybeen]

u got it all wrong. apparently u dont understand the concept behind his art and "The Cool" as a whole.

[rulaofzamoonda]

Listen, Lupe is a Artist! Enough said!! Any comments I will explain!!

P.S, Lil Wayne will fade away!! Punchlines dont make classics!!

[82ghost]

The major difference between Lupe and Nas is that Lupe actually has the knowledge and ability to articulate his points of view out side the booth. Nas sometimes come across as if he's just based in superficial theory. Check out his Q & A session on Yahoo! Music if you want an example.

[Kitanbrhodes]

82ghost speakin facts wit tha whole lupe and nas thingy man

[icedoutabo]

hes is like nas lyricaly and tell a story like slick rick and a flow like????

[hotsauce8984]

flow like jay

[barondjr]

no a flow that is his altogeter

[reihaank]

Lupe Fiasco is the new understated, underrated NaS.

Maybe bigger?

Lu will be one of them artists who's never in the spot light, then in 10 years or so he will be a REAL LEGEND of what he does.

Stay earthed, brother!

PEACE

[takashi94]

he already a legend in my eyes

[rickey52007]

a lupe you should hit this chick she is feeling u kid

[blazey20]

Hes a muslim that would be completely against everything he believes in. He said he dont fuck wit groupies

[xXkenziegurl00Xx]

it is not against the islam religion to cuss u dumbass

[mustafahajj]

Lu, rules im telling you. Chitown is now standing. That young blk man (lu) is hiphop all over again. He is the truth.....Salaam bro.

[SkittleszBabyG69]

lol she aint sai dat..she sed jacket..but de camera man aint push the camera up..

[midastouch1981]

lupe look oike my ex 4 real. oh there he go calling right now, anyway i love lupe he' s the best

[theclockstickin]

lmfao look like lupe got kidnapped by some secret website organization that does crappy interviews

[tbaby673]

LOL!!!

[mustafahajj]

Chill, Its a small step but hey she walkin'. Give her a chance kid. Wordlife, It funky to me......ReaL talk. Mtv is a sucker, 106&park is an even bigger sucker...Yeah!!!! The websites are the new it!

[dirtyshane12]

I love lupe he is so "uncool"

[becccc]

omg worst interviewer ever! gotta love lupe

[wHaTxThExPhO122]

for real she interrupted him sometimes...

[allme223]

She does NOT wanna do this interview lolol she look like "uhh.....let me get your number I dont care what you have to say" lolol

[franciso7]

man you re fuchin right!!!

[ladivenom]

he forgot to say nikki jean ahh come on lupe... i love hip hop saved my life.. thats such a tune..

[SilentPenumbra]

Horibble interviewer and cameraman/woman... Her body language created so much tension, its unbelievable. Lupe did great, as always, though he seems a little awkward...

[smithstephanie28]

He looks so awkward haha poor guy

[tswagg504]

MANNN, This chick would make me feel uncomfortable too!

[waringjosh123]

lupe is the greatest lyric writer of all time bar none...one of the best rappers too..my fav artist anyways..always inspiraring

[FRBusta]

ya he inspirares me to.

haha

But for real this cat has set the standard for the kind of rappers I listen too know. There's a lot of nice music out there but I just don't feel it the way I feel Lu.

[msaphrodite23]

lupe is soooooo cute!

[ulm200786]

Lupe is such a nerd but I Love it. He does him very well!

[ulm200786]

She's not a good interviewer. Seems like she is very uncomfortable, the body language like there is tension. He knows and she is looking can i have him... interesting!

[quez88]

that jacket is fresh! ive wanted one ever since i saw him with it on mtv

[SharmagneChampagne]

omg look at her body language, she totally wants him....i dont blame her Lupe is FINE! but gosh lady be professional

[tbaby673]

HE DOES LOOK SEXY ON HERE.

[AfroVibez]

This is a flirtatious onslaught...doesn't an interviewer suppose to be engaging but yet impartial...sista might as well jump on her and say, 'oops here it is'

[pagibignakakabaliw]

dude this girl is a lame interviewer.. she was hitting on him the whole time..

[PHILLYMESS1]

yeah way she had take me right now looks on her face

[MizzLovely123]

LMFAO

[evilgeniusluke]

loopy fiasco

[Beaze17]

old girl in love with lupe lol

[jelisatyler]

i think she asked him to stand up so she could check him out lol.

[jelisatyler]

lupe is geeky but in a cute way.

[8182570]

so different

and that's why i respect the dude

[theunknown121]

i wish i could meet him. he is the cool. allah hu akbar

[theunknown121]
