  • Lupe and this album are so underrated

  • profound meets popularity...2 many don't understand the difficulty behind that

  • @Anthony2277 I undetstand that you may think that he's on some evil shit, but its the exact opposite. Notice how this song ties into majority of The Cool album. Personally I think he's sharing words of wisdom.

  • classic track i remember listenin to this song and jis picturin this hood zombie nigga lol buyin that album when it came out (yes i actually went out and bought it, it was the last album i actually went out n bought from a store, well i didnt really pay for it i used a gift card but anywayz lol) ya, its too bad lupe completely sold out at this point... when u start using autotune and doing songs with the likes of drake ugh ur pretty much dead to me...ur done RIP Lupe's integrity n common sense

  • @daleva187goligo Lupe's just experimenting if lasers wasn't wack u wouldn't have said that it's Atlantic's fault how many times do I have to explain this he had no choice they wouldn't let him do his music good thing they said they won't touch food and liquor 2 are lupe sold out LMAO u sound dumb u just speaking and not trying to understand the situation or the person

  • @daleva187goligo wanna go listen to dumb it down

  • @shammyrulesalll the best counterargument

  • Who played Super Mario N64? I hope the sample is from the Bowser levels.

  • food and liqor forever

  • yo GUYS

    i usually DONT do this

    but watch my OPEN MIC poem on my page

    Lupe Fiasco has inspired me. Love this man

  • He is good but hopsin is better .

  • @realrapzzz Your Fucking Retarded.

  • @realrapzzz LMFAO. ilove hopsin. but hesnot on lupes level bro

  • @realrapzzz Hopsin better than lupe? Yeah go walk off a cliff

  • The best song Lupe Fiasco ever rapped.

  • Check me out @DamoDolla. Shout out to Lupe. One

  • @Earthly Eclispe i try to make a freind and say the video was cool and im christian uselly i ask to be veiwed on my profile.

  • @Anthony92277

    the little amount of sense you made in your original post was eclipsed by the amount of stupid in your second.

  • Im Anthony 92277 im an christian, but im likeing this it is cool.

  • @Anthony92277 what does being christian have to do with anything?

  • @EarthlyEclipse Because he's implying, I guess, that Christians aren't allowed to listen to epic music. Just a possibility as I'm not quite sure what the hell he was talking about.

  • Cant stop pressing the replay

  • Does anybody know the sample of this song?

  • @ZeroPercentFat dexter wansel 'life on mars'

  • This definitely lands as my favorite Fiasco song so far. Lyrical domination for sure. Why can't rap be like this? Why can't hip hop be about stuff like this, rather than just money, hoes and drugs?

  • howd he go from this to lasers i dont get it

  • @thelankytank L@SERS was just a little album of what he thinks is going wrong in this world right NOW! but dont worry he is coming back with FOOD & LIQOUR 2!

  • reminds me of the instrumental (the song) a little bit

  • the word swagggg is gay ask royce da 5'9

  • Why didn't he do an music video for this track? This is by far one of his best tracks ever.

  • @AmpliFreQ3107 Alot of tracks would have been good music videos.

  • Ron Paul 2012. 

  • Who produced that track??? Is it Kanye West???

  • @masteryas21 yessir!

  • @masteryas21 yep

  • genius in music

  • Awsome

  • PLZ LISTEN TO AMERICAN TERRORIST 3!! thumbs up after you listen to it or if you already have

  • we all know he is getting jerked by his label, but that is the price that the artists have to pay if they are not independent….lupe needs to start his own label and put out fire after fire! Either way I will support him cuz that guy almost committed suicide putting out the newest album…hes gotta play the game for now… look up this group “INRG MUSIC - FEELIN’ IT” I been listenin too….another real hip hop if you ask me!

  • they put it to his head and said "ya scared aint cha"

    he said "husla for death no heaven for a gansta"

    OOOOOHHHH SHIT SON

  • I am a lil wayne fan.

    And... I'm HOSESTLY thinking about this, mind you... Lil Wayne honestly dosen't rap about important stuff.

  • This is his best song without doubt

  • @suahttamewor american terrorist 3 or put you on game or coolest...but this song is really good tho

  • yet we still wait for an eminem calab

  • everyone youtube "Young Classik" and read up on what happen to him.

    Lupe Fiasco is the TRUTH....and the words he speak about life are REAL.

  • Dang, Chicago man; there must be something about it.

  • He didn't finish the story

  • Hustla for death no heaven for a gangsta

  • straight

    

  • i was a stop light today and this huge black guy in a g35 pulled up next to me... he was blasting this track, the cool, really loud... he sped off in front of me and guess what his liscense plate said LUPEF&L

    THAT IS WHAT I CALL SWAGGGGG!!!!

  • This is du real shit z my nigga imma run dis town bit. . . . . . . Lol bunch of fucking niggers here

  • That brotha said hustla for death, tupac said thug for life

  • only thing i hate bout lupe is he stopped that gangsta shit "for the kids"...well guess what homie...ur real fans still here....these cool days....shit was so hard....if u stayed this way....u n eminem would be on top....fuckk pisses me off

  • @CLOVERCITYY15 Do you realize the point of this song? It's sayin that thug life isn't the right way, and that people are too stubborn to accept that. They're too busy chasin "the cool." There's more to life man!

  • @daisyrockerdude smartt neva knew 

  • @galactus96 All of a sudden the song means something else huh? lol

  • @daisyrockerdude dude, i dont care...this type of shit he spittin right here...he dont spit like dis no mo...he spits shit like "hurt me soul" and "show goes on" dont get me rong he good but he would be so much better if this style he stuck to...i know like eminem he switches styles cuz hes that good but homie, tell me u dont miss the cool days

  • @CLOVERCITYY15 "Hurt Me Soul" is one of his best songs in my opinion o-o. So much fucking truth in that song.

  • he sounds like skee lo from back in the day.

  • i begged for some change

    to get me on the train

    to get the hell outta here

    you bitches is lame

    (lol, but some things never change)

    I'll never be a loser as long as i'm willing to fight for what i believe

    you all quote this genuis

    but you don't have an idea whaat the words mean

    it's just something catchy shit foryou to sing along with

    oh the irony (ya'lll ain't cool... yet)

  • there's no music video because it's impossible to include all that detail in 4 minutes. i wish there was a movie about this.

  • Happy Haloween

  • This shit is kinda trippy stoned...just saying

  • @MufasaWasAPunk Gonna bump this tonight then

  • @therealist811 Fuck yea!

  • This is a song of genius.

  • K READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE TH EBEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS COMMENT TO THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NO, YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DON'T STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SCARY CAUSE IT ACTULY WORKS

  • @mk9exp stfu and enjoy the song

  • LUPE FIASCO FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Best part:

    "Working like, hmmm, a reverse archaeologist.

    Except (pause), his buried treasure was sunshine..."

    Damn...

  • @pacrox2 "He said, Hustla for death no heaven for a gangsta aayyyeee"

  • Comment removed

  • @pacrox2 used his mouth as a shovel and when he couldn't dirt spit he swallowed it

  • @pacrox2 i dont get it explain!

  • @bills2324 An archaeologist digs up old artifacts from the ground, like how dude is digging upwards towards his own treasure (namely, daylight)

    Sunshine is a misleading metaphor for The Streets. As he was entering his new life to repent for his misdeeds, he destroyed his chain that was given to him by The Streets and left it behind. A reverse archaeologist would be one who buries treasure rather than unearthing it

  • @pacrox2 Nope, it's definitely "Hustler for death, no heaven for a gangster."

  • damn, there's a hidden message in the lyrics. this isn't a song about a man that died and came back to life, but actually about a person that tried to change his ways, but failed. the grave is failure, and to go legit was the choice. there's alot deeper metaphores that I appear not to understand, but it is a song about life, not death ON THE REAL Lupe Fiasco is ILL

  • off the album food & liquor, not the cool. The Cool was based off this song

  • Lupe, Ry Geus, J Cole and Kanye!

  • @RyGeus You dont advertise yourself in your own comment..

  • @LilDtherapper LMFAO

  • what's the actual name of this song?

  • @buttaman8302 ...This IS the actual name LOL

  • @MrKennyWilliams You're right. lol 

  • @buttaman8302 "the cool" bro...

  • THIS IS LUPES BEST SONG.

  • Lupe is the best! If you like lupe, check a rapper named Ry Geus

  • this is a great song to listen to this october, definitely puts me in that halloween spirit

  • therealist i agree wit you but people are damn near brainwashed to like negative raps so wen someone comes wit that uplifting music it doesnt click in their heads

  • can i download this from dopehood or hulkshare?

  • who realizes tht this is on Food and Liquor?

  • @GU1TARR0CKER789 oh me oh me :) i guess he named the cool after this

  • @GU1TARR0CKER789 mane you slow

  • Comment removed

  • @GU1TARR0CKER789 the album the cool is based on this song

  • The concert in Atlanta was PHENOMENAL!!!! So live!!!!!

  • quick everyone search that dude sleepy conscious and his new track "No Apologies" that shit goes hard!!

  • Fuck those other rappers they are irrelevant while listing to a lupe fiasco song. Stop name dropping corny bunnys.

  • The Cool is from Food And Liquor

  • Comment removed

  • these lyrics are insane! he portrays a zombie hustler waking up from the grave. this is one of the hardest songs ive ever heard.

  • Illuminati ..

  • He's not underrated, he's just not as big as he should be. Big difference.

  • Put it to his head and said ya scared aint ya, He said Hustle for Death no heaven for a Gangsta..

  • I seriously think that there are people that go around and dislike amazing videos. Like, honestly how can you dislike classic Lupe songs....

  • This is one of the most savage songs to come out of hip hop...

  • "He said hustler till death, no heaven for a gangster". Im not in the slightest way a gangster or a hustler, but that line always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

  • 2012 is near, look up "SLAVERY THE GAME" read "BEHOLD A PALE HORSE" before it's too late...(WARNING/REFERENCE)

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST AY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS TO AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS.NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP.THIS IS SO SCARY.PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS.THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALY WORKS.

  • @YeahItsKindaCool Megan Fox will kiss me?

  • the best thing about this is i listen to this specific song at 2am high riding on the highway with no one around...i swear most peaceful thing on earth :)

  • If you notice lupe is gasping in the first verse. Its like man is using every breathe in his body to get his message out.Lol ironiclly the last guy to use that approach was Tupac.

  • @japan1167 That was actually eminem u just havent heard it, dont say something if u dont know anything about it

  • what happened to the good shit like food and liquor? lupe man you sold out i mean compare this to the show goes on its 100000000 times better then that song

  • @ChiliPepsJF He didn't sell out, L.A.S.E.R.S was just a compromise so he can get out of Atlantic to go back to making music like F&L.

  • coolest beat. ever.

  • This song will never get old (to me)

    I played this a thousand times in 2008

  • Comment removed

  • i like the original version:) this is nice remix still. love u lupe@ u request. wud love to see u perform live one theses days. Hopefully :)xxx

  • I love the first verse every time he went to say a bar he gasped.Its like he like he uses every breathe in his lungs to get his acrossed.Ironiclly the last artist to do that was TUPAC.

  • @spbend17 it's on the food and liquor album. Might be on both. But I definitely know it's on food and liquor, I have the food and liquor.

  • @N9T9F1ake , Agree 100%, I think this might be Lupe's best song. So dirty, but there is some message in this song.

  • lupe and j cole are the best 2 rappers at the moment in my opinion

  • Lupe Isss Too Real! (: Its Fkn Epic Lol

  • hey this song wasn't on "the cool" album. it was a prelude to it and was on Food and Liquor. duh

  • @eshizzle16 I will bet you a lot of money it was on "the cool" album. Its in my computer right now, and it was played by me, recently, so suck it.

  • @spbend17 actually it was on food n liqour u probably downloaded the wrong info or sumthin but yeah definitely food n liqour... maybe ur thinkin of "The Coolest" ?

  • @spbend17 except it was on food and liquor...

  • lol funny how all of his vids just sky rocketed why wasnt he like this when food nd liqour came out ?

  • @chicityjoka i wonder the same shit man, food and liquor is an unreal album

  • @BOBBUCKO12 yes it was

  • Very underrated rapper. I've been listening for years now and I still don't understand why weak rappers such as Drake and Nicki Minaj are out there dominating the scene. This might sound bold, but I think Lupe Fiasco is one of the best rappers we've had... he just needs more commercial success to prove himself on that level.

  • @therealist811 Until the guy starts making either Club music or Talking about his success (money, cars, women) he'll never be higher than where he is. Believe it or not we are the minority when it comes to "Tru Hip Hop" Might be bold but HE IS one of the Best rappers ever. he just aint gonna be a 'Popular' artist not this day an age with this trash music thats out now. Blame young money lol. Jk. Plus Lupe doesnt spend money to be publicized through his Atlantic Records He rather keep his money

  • @UnderOrdinary For real

  • @therealist811 drake is not a weak rapper he is very versatile. nicki is garbage i agree with you there.

  • @therealist811 you ever hear eminem's "syllables"?

    "oh this my jam, this my shit

    we don't know a word to a verse all we know is the chorus

    cause the chorus repeats the same four words for us"

  • @therealist811 because drake and minaj promote a lifestyle and ultimatly condition listeners to think the way those who control those record labels, and major outlets want you to think. lupe speaks truth and breaking out of that routine, and thats not money in their pockets.

  • @Colinlahti well it would be money in their pockets if they suppported that kind of thinking cuz the majority would think that way except one thing the government don't want people to be smart cuz it's easier to control dumb people

  • @therealist811 if Lupe were as commercial as Drake and Lil' Wayne then he wouldn't to be such a talented MC rapping about real things, he would become auto-tuned into just another pop-rapper putting a verse on a Jay Sean song. I hope he never turns into that, Fiasco forever.

  • @therealist811 intelligent and/or political messages are rejected by the masses because most people are mindless sheep. words i never said is a great example of things going on that people don't notice or refuse to notice. people would rather live through celebrities pretending they have the lives they always wanted instead of listening to something inspirational

  • @therealist811 that aint gonna happen since hes muslim and hes Down wid pacs Set Killuminati !

  • @abid172 Yeah I get that, but really look at how Pac got down. He made music to gain profits... money = power. When you have enough success on the mainstream you have more opportunoity to get a voice across. But it's hard to go mainstream and keep it real at the same time, especially in this age. But I'm saying there's no doubt that Lupe has the talent to push further... I'd just like to see his messages and skill be broadened so more people can see he's a top rate artist.

  • @therealist811 I agree. It blows my mind when I'm walking around my school and the people are blasting shit like Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka. It makes me want to smack them. Everytime I listen to his album's, more triple-meanings and wordplay unravels itself to me. The most played songs on my Ipod is the sound track to The Cool, then F&L. Anyway, if you like this guy, check out Sage Francis and Eyedea, they have equally trippy shit, and not a lot of people know them.

  • @therealist811 i dont think he is trying to prove himself on their level. Being able to flow without using expletives, not dissing anyone, tell a concise story while delivering a message, cunning use of word play, is on a complete different/ higher level. His music is for people who are constantly conscious and have enlarged attention spans. but i agree with you he is one of the bests.

  • @87ksan I see what you mean, but I think the messages Lupe brings would be useful in the mainstream. Today's generation are being stupidly guided, and Lupe spits it real so on the mainstream it can have a positive influence. Nobody has been able to tap the mainstream this way since Pac. It's just a shame to see what tops the charts, especially when you have a very talented rapper like Lupe losing out to Nicki Minaj or Rick Ross.

  • @therealist811 is da illuminati dat have dem as puppets c ppl follow da cool kkuze da smart is stupid....da illuminati is a group of white so dey pikk different cultures singers to dress dem use dem for advertise ment...dey pay dem to talkk about nonsense so da kkids now a days dont realize da shit dat der listenng....sat no to da NWO

  • @7kkapone4 I know about the illuminati/ free masons. But remember that there have been rappers like Tupac in the past, who was anit-illuminati and rose to success because of his personality and objective. There is always a way to tap into the market... it just takes a lot of heart and strategy.

  • @therealist811 tupac was not an anti-illuminati. his famous "KILLUMINATI" meant that he didnt believe that illuminati existed. theres an interview about it on youtube, look it up.

  • @Emron925A Actually I'm wrong saying he was anti-illuminati. But killuminati didn't mean he didn't believe it existed. It was used as a way to stop people from talking about it and acting like it's a barrier to freedom. Pac wanted to stop all the myths and get people to do what it takes to get their money on.

  • @therealist811 thats kinda what i meant to say. lol.

  • @7kkapone4 das y ppl all singers n politics get kkille kkuze dey try to pass love n ps but da freemason da illuminati...want ppl to follow n those who go left get kkill....jfk mlk.2pac...MJ..BIGGIE...LINCOL­N...DA ONLY WAY TO GET UP DER IS TO PLAY DA SAME GAMES DER PLAYING BUT 1Z U INSIDE U BLOW DEM UP....DAS WAT MAKAVELI DID .....DA REAL MAKAVELI
