Lupe Fiasco- Dead Presidents Freestyle

[sbninjax]

lupe goes 2 hard he said find me covered in ice like encino man!

[JarrettRandall]

@jaykiddfly Hollow points are not necessarily subsonic. It depends largely on the caliber (most all .45 rounds are subsonic). Subsonic-made rounds are made for guns with silencers/suppresors. A 9mm subsonic round fired out of a regular handgun is not noticeably quieter than a normal round.

[JarrettRandall]

Rap would be so much more enjoyable is they didnt put all the "yeah yeah" and random bullshit in the beginning of their songs.

[Sushityphoon01]

Pipe is a beast

[SuperRBeatz]

@zanlean 'bout time somebody said that

[jaykiddfly1]

i hope you like the sound of hallow i got more...i bet this line flew over mad niggas heads....think about it. Lupe is too bright!

[swaggerboy39]

@jaykiddfly1 I dnt get it

[jaykiddfly1]

@swaggerboy39 well hollow tips are used to suppress the sound of gunfire so he says hope you like the sound of hollow...well how can you like the sound if they are meant to silence the sound.

[akajambas]

@jaykiddfly1 I don't think hollow tips suppress the sound of gunfire, you're thinking silencers. Hollow tips are made to inflict more damage. But I'm really not sure what his metaphor means though haha

[TopFlyteMusic]

@jaykiddfly1 there are 2 main different types of hollow tip bullets. 1st, as soon as the trigger is pulled and the bullet fires, it starts to break apart and unravel immediately. the 2nd, when the shot is fired and the bullet smashes against something, it bursts. But his line doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Hollow tips or guns alone haha. "So act like u Denzel or Rudy Ray Moore, wait, there's more, let me catch you tappin my floor like Savianna Moss, hope u like the sound of hollow i got more"

[Compton3clipsed]

@TopFlyteMusic - To both of you, the line before "Act like denzel....." he says, "the tech and things hidden in the floor" so the Tech in the floor, they tappin on the floor, hopes they like the sound of hollow, he has more. The floor is hollow where he has things hidden as well, you have to dig it out.

[iCanKicket]

@TopFlyteMusic actually the "i got more" is a play on the word hollow, like hollow tip. but originally the word is used to describe the sound of the Savianna Moss' tap dancing.

[datfunkyfresh]

white peoples kool-aid

haahahahaa

[Klassickk]

a rhymer, crushed pepper

a grinder yeah that's much better

best part

[stupidswag96]

Why is there so many remixes to this do they have one for every president of the U.S

[temp9747]

@stupidswag96 everyone that has smashed this beat ( except Drake)

[DrGanja99]

j cole got off but lupe murder this shit period.

[TheDTCproductions]

@dubsydude321 wiz khalifa is a pothead. he'll be outta da game after 4-5 albums and will never be a legend. Lupe fiasco is dope though. very underrated. i like his written shit better though

[TH3RAND0MGUY]

@theznyper not really retard

[Aerosol95]

Only one who did kill this beat is Nas cus he started it but much respect to my man Jay Z he killed it too and I give lupe props and that guy is dumb, lil Wayne is garbage Eminem is the king of wordplay

[youngprince70]

I think Cole went harder. But Lupe wuz decent

[TheCodyc123]

@theznyper lupe anti illuminati

[iReasonII]

"I'm white people's Kool- Aid" lol

[wrkmn00]

i blacked out like DOS...(MS DOS) WOW

[BoBtheparrot7]

LUPE STEALS LIKE LUPIN THE THIRD!!!!!!!!

[thebest852]

I really really hope he goes back to this old flow; it was soooooooooooooooooo great ;)

[HipHopNativeTongue]

check my version of Dead Presidents. I'm ALMOST as intelligent as he is. :p

But really give a listen on my page !

[119goldstein]

how can i get this on my computer?

[SirHaIfPint]

its no doubt this instrumental makes any rapper sound good...point blank.

[ApokCustoms]

He should release L.U.P.E.N.D. on F&F. that way he can spit whatever the hell he wants.

[broj9]

The 3 dislikes were from the only Presidents still alive{:

[trncjz]

@broj9 that was the dumbest comment...

[lupeemperor11]

lupe should use the old rap and hip hop beats in his new mixtapes.the new beats are jus straight up messed up

[lesh21]

nas and lupe is all you need on your hip hop playlist

[KingD628]

@lesh21 Add in some Tupac & that'd be a tight playlist.

[BangSkeeet]

@lesh21 <3 you.

[DJRedMEDIA]

@lesh21 That's a good combo, imagine if they put an album together.

[rtothepandj]

@lesh21 aint that the truth!

[23TDJ]

@Ant718100 I can't wait for the mix tape and album, but @afroaaron555 don't forget that Lupe didn't change; Lasers was Atlantic's album and Food & Liquor 2 should be Lupe's official third album

[afroaaron555]

any one else miss this lupe?

liked his new album but it was not this kind of lyrical quality

[Ant718100]

@afroaaron555 Yea but the old lyrical lupe is coming back when he releases FOTP and Food & liquor 2.

[SoloDoloBPM]

@afroaaron555 dont worry that wasnt lupe fiasco at ALL look into food and liquor 2

[RyukuMugen]

@afroaaron555 Yeah, it's like most rappers who go mainstream, drop in lyrical quality ;/

[fuckingkimura]

Hey all of you saying "OMG this guy gets more money and bitches, oh this guy is lame and better than Fiasco" That's because all the stupid teenage girls don't give a shit. they just buy the song... How many of you actually bought Fiasco's album, I did... But I bet ya half of 67,484 didnt

[TaylorgangORdie199]

The world is yours I'm out for dead presidents to represent me

[wadyproductions]

not a freestyle but this is bad ass haha but i culd say that about every one of lupes songs :D

[AustinCMoore]

J Cole, Fabo and Lupe are my favorite rappers... But I would never try comparing them to each other, just saying.

[Triz718]

Why are people comparing Lupe to J Cole? Lupe is to nice to be compared to J Cole.

[AlmightyIn5vne]

Lupe should do a shook ones freestyle.

[tearbear90s]

@AlmightyIn5vne that would be mad DOPE! would be neat to see him jump on a HI-Tek or Madlib Beat

[silas0074]

find me covered in ice like incino man, that shits off the chain

[Mrwest717]

if you think this sucks ass then u dont listen to real hiphop or lyrics you like that ignorant plies bull crap

[ThaAvalanche23]

Can't decide whose version i like the best. this beat's been used sooo many times

[banksboy88]

No matter what u say this sucks ass

[banksboy88]

this sucks bad

[bball2908]

@banksboy88 are you stupid?

[Dboy4100X3]

@banksboy88

he raps WAYY betta than ya wack ass o lets do it rap.

[tr41nr3ck]

J Cole merked this nigga too.

[Dboy4100X3]

@tr41nr3ck

j cole merked WHO?

[invalidiification]

Cudder i love the man drugs or not he is just ill but some people cant understand it and they just leave on his own witch is what you should do if you dont agree or understand. i dont understand some of it but i do most and you could get touched deep. besides he will chill out once he gets all this new found glory through and through and the partying he could go serious places on top of what he already has in my views.

[skyeatsbrennan]

@TreacherouSFlow KiD CuDi is already amazing.. he raps about drugs because to some people that is REAL shit!

[suneater24]

@cisseusa123 JFK's could be plane tickets too since it's also an airport and he flies through. I just think it's great how his lines can be taken so many ways, it's ridiculous ha

[ClanNemesisH3]

Kano kills this tune if u like Grime

Lupes version is good as well tho, i would love to get the instrumental :)

[MiikeMo9]

lupe kills it

[dubsydude321]

The Future of Hip Hop. 1. Lupe Fiasco 2. J Cole 3. Kid Cudi 4. Big Sean 5. Jay Electronica 6. Kanye West 7. B.o.B. 8. Wale 9. Jay Rock 10. Wiz Khalifa not a specific order other than lupe number one.

[412NOS]

@dubsydude321 wiz khalifa is not the future of hip hop, he said himself he raps about weed and fuking bitches

[weezle93]

@412NOS Man i dont even fucks with Khalifa he Semi-Decent. But idkk why mofo's are all about this Wiz Khalifa shit.

[LupeF0rLife14]

@weezle93 He just raps about what people WANT to hear.. Lupe raps about what people NEEDS to hear.

[bRoc4200]

@dubsydude321 Joell ortiz gotta be number 2 or 3 on that list bruh

[Klaffveinz]

@dubsydude321 Kid Cudi? seriously? Kid Cudi? KID fucking CUDI? the future of hip hop? Really? Kid Cudi?

[TreacherouSFloW]

@Klaffveinz I think Kid cudi could be part of the future of Hip Hop.... Only if he ever starts rapping about anything other than drugs. If he rapped about real shit he would probably be amazing. Not close to Lupe's level, but still.

[banksboy88]

@TreacherouSFloW weed aint a drug bitch

[TreacherouSFloW]

@banksboy88 I wasn't talking about weed calm down. Cudi raps about more than weed. Have you heard Enter Galactic? That's Ecstasy. Ecstasy is a drug. I never said weed was a drug so stop jumping to conclusions.

[aRCaDeBx]

@TreacherouSFloW

retards.. just because YOU smoke weed doesnt mean its not a drug. if caffeine is a drug why would THC be any less?

[TreacherouSFloW]

@aRCaDeBx I never said I smoke or do drugs... Did you even read the comments? I was saying that if Kid Cudi stopped talking about drugs and focused on real shit he could be a great rapper. And when I said weed isn't a drug I was just trying to get the guy to stfu so that he wouldn't spam the comments section with all those lame ass typical stoner arguments about how it's a plant. Like I said to him, don't jump to conclusions.

[aRCaDeBx]

@TreacherouSFloW

ur actually completely right, i tagged the wrong person. that was my mistake bro

[TreacherouSFloW]

@aRCaDeBx Aha fasho dude :P

[giscard17]

@Klaffveinz u probly listen to lil wayne and such..

[Klaffveinz]

@giscard17 I actually don't listen to mainstream that much.

[RoB2126]

@dubsydude321

wtf i agree with maybe 3 of those j electronica is garbage bob really haha

[converseshoeboy]

am tryna figure out who killed this more, lupe or j cole.. and j cole has two versions of dead presidents so make sure you listen to the 2nd one which btw is better..

[cisseusa123]

@converseshoeboy Lupe. No contest. This man said "I fly dope, pocket full of J-F-K's". Dope=drugs. JFKS=Half Dollar (his pic was on this coin). So basically he flies with a bunch of quarters aka drugs. Cmon man.

[converseshoeboy]

@cisseusa123 god damn lupe is so god damn lyrical, all his shit flies past my head it takes me years to understand the shit he sayin but i love it lol.. thx for explainin that man, n yeah i know lupes got the more lyrical side but cole has got that raw delivery energy type of flow, they both different but lupe has defintelty got the lyrics n wittyness on point!

[cisseusa123]

@converseshoeboy lol btw I meant to say he flies with a bunch of "mini" quarters since half-dollars can be denominated into quarters. And the other meaning is obviously him flying with lots of money (JFKs aka dead presidents But you prob knew that) lol

[Sp33dyMik3]

@cisseusa123 ya or JFKS also mean money, JFK is a dead president, dead presidents=money and it would make more sense since the song is called dead presidents

[cisseusa123]

@Sp33dyMik3 I said that lol Look at the last sentence I wrote.

[ImHugeInJapan93]

@cisseusa123 It could also mean like he flies in a nice plane w/ a bunch of dead presidents in his wallet. Either way that is CRAZY lyricism

[jakdariipa]

J Cole Nice but he aint fukkin wit LuPe ....nobody is ...

[drew10wwe]

"how u 'gon back out, thers no back doors, like porsche" that was ill

[krimzee]

"The baller with the goggles like Kareem" <---made me laugh when he described himself like this.

[LilWolftoldyahh]

along time i havent heard this song, its still tight

[ASighForSoreEyes21]

J COOOOOLE FREESTYLE!

[arich357]

@ASighForSoreEyes21 yeah his part 2 is dope

[preetyblueyes]

TYPE IN DURTY CASS DEAD PRESIDENTS

[skummy]

HHHHHHHHHHEAT!!!!!

[xxcornbreadxx]

Check my dead presidents freestyle out! on my page...

[Fan4ManUnited]

i honestly cant choose between jcole and lupes freestyle they both go crazy!!

[hirotenko77]

good but dont beat jayzs

[1phreshprince1]

@hirotenko77 are you dumb

[hirotenko77]

@1phreshprince1 it doesnt

[bptchargers]

i am white peoples kool aid lmao

[JColeM7785]

its shameful....that Lupe's version has lest views than J-Cole's and Drakes...when obviously he's smarter and the lyrics are proof.

[50wearethebest]

@JColeM7785 dont shit on j cole just cus u like lupe. lupe and j cole are both problems and both should be recognized more

[Parmlee2]

@JColeM7785 Your name is Jcole.... and dont disregard cole like that. He's up there with lupe

[BangSkeeet]

@Parmlee2 Never. Lupe is too clever.

[Parmlee2]

@BangSkeeet I agree. But cole has his own type of style that is its own type of dope.

[JColeM7785]

@Parmlee2 ummm JCole is my name is because....it's my name lol. Secondly, disregard? It's honor that people are comparing them both. Honestly J-Cole is good, but he's nowhere NEAR lupe. The difference? Jcole makes you go "hmmm" when he says a nice lyric....you need an encyclopedia handy to grasp Lupe. End of story.

[JinjokageS]

Wtf.....Lupe is not using this beat to diss him genius @shakil

[redrover3456]

lupe is good but u know jay-z is the best when u have like 6 rappers makin freestyles and raps to his beat

[shakiil]

@redrover3456 1) Jay-z didnt make the beat 2) Lupe is using jiggas beat to diss him.

[redrover3456]

@shakiil the beat is jay-z`s he got it from nas he used the beat to diss nas when they were in a rap war

[shakiil]

@redrover3456 1) Jay-Z made a song to the beat, he didnt make the beat which was my point. So the fact that 6 rappers make a freestyle to it has nothing to do with jay-z, anybody can have good producers.

[staytrue220099]

@redrover3456 it was actually a saple from the world is yours nas

[redrover3456]

@staytrue220099 I SAID THAT

[staytrue220099]

@redrover3456 haha most these other people dont know what they talkin bout

[NICKD92570]

who produced this beat??i fucking hate jay but like his beats

[93youngdreamz]

guys comment on my song!! . . let me no!

[2rotten34]

"Paper on the waist like Henry"

did anyone catch that...I honestly think his talking about the gun made by Henry Derringer

[Lcd91]

@2rotten34 i wondered what he ment when he said that...

[Sp33dyMik3]

This guy goes over too many peoples heads, uncrownded king no doubt.

i been bumpin his shit for 2 years and im still only figuring out some of his lyrics now. 2 years later. crazy shit

[shakiil]

he comiing at Jay-Z for using ghostwriters .. jay faking it and everybody falling for it.. U probably dont believe it right??

1) Dead President beat.

2) "Pinky mac ring like the song that Peedi Crack sings, "I Propose""

Check Out Peedi Crakk - Sweet Dreams, he singing..

3) Anything not next to Tec is hidden in the floor

So act like u Denzel(A.G Album) or Rudy Ray Moore(??)

4) "ghostwriter what up" < in the beginning

Lupe made it so you wouldnt understand the diss.. Jigga is fake..

[BETIsABitch]

@shakiil It's Petey Crack, AKA Fat Joe.

[shakiil]

@BETIsABitch No it's Peedi Crack - This guy youtube.com/watch?v=KXP5a_3cVz­s . Not Fat Joe

[INEEDASSNTITTIES]

What the fuck is paper around the waist like henry mean?

[Gremlin212332]

"No question

you aint got to a.s.k

i fly through

pockets full of J.F.K's"

JFK = John F Kennedy Airport (NYC)

ASK = Yamoussoukro (AFRICA)

fly

no question you dont have to ask, and a double meta for the "fly" meanings!!

[INEEDASSNTITTIES]

@Gremlin212332 Thanks for explaining it, bro. I don't understand what he says half the time.

[SHAOD1OOO]

@Gremlin212332 THAT AIN'T WHAT HE MEANT... JFK'S= DEAD PRESIDENTS= MONEY

[KeenOnTaka]

@Gremlin212332 Nah dude there is more to it.. You are right though, "Pocket full of JFKS = Dead Presidents = Money (Dead Presidents faces on bills). If you continue through the lyrics you will also find, "Dont make me stand up, told you, you aint gotta have ya hands up". Hands up = asking a question. He told you "No question, you don't gotta ASK".

He's A FUCKING Genius. Love your other explanations.

[TheBukamania]

@KeenOnTaka Yeah Over Their Heads Bro I tried Im In New orleans trying So You Know They Won't Listen But Some Things Are better Kept Secret Know What I mean.... The Bible Says Seek And You Shall Find It's Deep Bro.

[caskey407]

check out my mixtape version to dead pres its the featured song on my page

[Gremlin212332]

"Find me covered in ice like Encino Man

Only one missing is Pachino man...Get It"

I died when i heard that first bar line...

Eninco Man was a film where some kids discover a caveman in their backyard frozen in a block of ice.

lol

[airknightk]

@Gremlin212332 but the pachino part?

[jhoodedbeast]

im guessing pachino played the part of the caveman

[Gremlin212332]

@airknightk - "You a, dice game I'm a casino man

Hustla for life, u hear the lingo and

Find me covered in ice like Encino Man

Only one missing is Pachino man" - this is just an allusion to the gangster/casino/mobster themes where al pachino makes his name however in casino he doesnt act in this film

[Sp33dyMik3]

@airknightk hes talkin bout casino and mobster theme, pachino is usually in a lot of mobster movies, godfather, scarface, heat. but in the movie casino he wasnt in it and it was a huge mobster movie. so thats why hes like only thing missin is pachino man

[Uitsdo]

check my freeverse on this beat plz!

[REZA1nr]

lupes fuckin great... and btw our free verse you mean uitsdo. =]

[ncstuff]

@REZA1nr Idk of anyone who is better than lupe right now.

[Lilmoot235]

@MrMike93100 agreed

[DNC3981]

that was aight. lupe could have done betta.

[757Automatic]

if u mean flow wise yea but lyrically u can't compare him to nobody nor vice versa

[Lilmoot235]

@757Automatic you are stuck in mainstream land then i guess

[757Automatic]

@Lilmoot235 wat da hell are you talkin bout if it's the last bar explain it den.cause if you think you can compare anybody in the underground or mainstream to this man then u stuck in retarted land i know.

[Lilmoot235]

@757Automatic Lupe is in my top 5 but there are underground people better...no one in mainstream can touch him ya i agree

[757Automatic]

who?

[Lilmoot235]

@757Automatic Papoose, cham, jadakiss

[757Automatic]

papoose cut it out,cham neva heard of em,jada is actually my favorite rapper but still no.u must not have heard all of his stuff or your just stuck in da past.

[TJC859]

woah. woah. woah. say what? cham used to be my fav rapper, and lupe has long since replaced him. and papoose? lol. jada's days are gone.

[ZTrepJTOWN]

Chamillionaire - Dead Presidents

waaaaay better than jayz and lupe

[jesseclifton]

bro lupe uses chamillionaires version as a doormat...

[DoomsDayCowboy93]

then he wipes his ass with it too

[JColeM7785]

@jesseclifton Chamillionaire's version is better than everybody elses...besides Lupe. Lupe is the greatest, so its no surprise he beats Chammilionanaire

[Tubgatet]

@JColeM7785 have u heard waynes ? i havnt heard chamillionaires so im not goin to say nothin about it but waynes up with lupes

[Lilmoot235]

@ZTrepJTOWN hard to beat lupe but he does ya

[Hamzy786]

Do I really need to explain myself.. cause that symbol is masonic.. this mo'fucker is part of them.. no wonder jay-z admires him..both are evil bastards!

[boibad12]

[supergashman]

Lupe is sick, listen to Kano's version tho, hes grimmmey. No haters, just love.

[Grayedoutmix]
