[ScottyHenderson1]

Am I the only one that hears that Hendrix sample? I like lupe but hendrix is one of the greatest musician to ever live without a doubt!

[tjwilliams42]

[duxducenyc]

COME SEE ME - OFFICIAL MUSIC ALL DAY !! YOU WONT REGRET

[razzle9438]

lupe fiasco is sick!

[alimabbas1993]

@NavjotGraphicDesign

you forgot kid cudi ;)

[DynastyEmpire]

about as UNCLE as a nieces mothers biggest brother -_-

[FAPsphnxFAP]

@Gen3ralG2

first verse he's saying he started out with no flow and no style - now he's got them both and it's all butter, with a flow like a monsoon

second verse he's sayin no one else has flow like him (your flow look like my bedroom floor when I was four) and that hating is a disease and he wont change for anything

third verse he's saying it doesn't matter who or why you listen to lupe, he's just doing it for himself and chicago

that's what i think, anyway...

[Gen3ralG2]

Hey do you guys mind explaining some of these lyrics? Usually I understand what he means but I'm pretty lost.

[CmCrz13]

wtf why do ppl sleep on lupe hes a fuckin beast nd this is his light weight shxt he can deff go harder then this

[jesseclifton]

@CmCrz13 i promise you 98% of his metaphors went over youre head. an im not sayin that too sound cool, they went over my head, thats why im tellin you this lol

[SixDollarBagel]

This track is all butta.

[itrguy000]

omg.... mtv fucked up their top 10 list again rating drake, nikki minaj, and wayne in top 5........ and they leave off lupe again, and eminem is 1st

[chosenxeno]

@itrguy000 Here's the thing. You next and current generation fans of rap need to stop talking about that MTV list. By talking about it so much you are making it relevant.

Once it becomes relevant it has the potential to become powerful. Once it becomes powerful they gain control and they will decide for you because now it has become a Authority

MTV has been irrelevent for a long time. I'm from the REAL mixtape era they were how you decided what's hot. Artist need to stop talking about it.

[Fredfiness]

@chosenxeno You speak truth my brother.

[bigmanny]

the only recent artists I can give props to are Lupe, Jay Elec, J Cole, hip hop kanye (lol), Diggy Simmons (this dude will grow into a monster), Blu.

there are others but I forget their names at this point in time haha.

by recent I mean relativity new. that is why i didnt mention mos, kweli, common.

[MrSanatra]

Lupe deserve top ten on all hip hop list period....Check out my page for Instrumentals i produced NOW GO!!!!!

[MrRodQ]

My mind was a sponge, but now it sham-wow....LMAO!!! ha ...lupe you slay me

[xxglockenspielxx]

Lupe the god.

[KillaPoser44]

Lupe deserves a spot on that BET Top 10 Rappers list. But I know BET wont add him. :l MTV fucked up their list last year..just imagine what BET will do -.-

[chosenxeno]

@KillaPoser44 Fuck those list they aren't skill based, they are popularity scales. You guys need to stop caring about them and they will go away!

[KillaPoser44]

@chosenxeno Lol tru..u gotta point

[KiLoSpartan117]

13 people aren't standing next to us.

[magichendrix]

As a die hard Jimi Hendrix fanatic I was very impressed with this song. The medley, beats, and rhymes match perfectly.  Jimi Hendrix Forever!!!

[SaintSYNJ]

I want this instrumental, SO BADLY.

[KillaPoser44]

@SaintSYNJ You and me both lol I look to see if anyone uploaded a instrumental every month xD

[SaintSYNJ]

@KillaPoser44 Hell yeah. If I find it I'll holler you, you do the same for me if you find one first :P the beat is crazy! Possibly the greatest instrumental I've ever heard...

[KillaPoser44]

@SaintSYNJ Lol will do and most definitely haha

[ryanomy]

Damn I know its late but they should've put props to Jimi Hendrix...greatest guitarist of all time...Lupe did his things on this even tho he don't get the respect he deserves...People put Waka Flocka first hahaha...thats a joke...but like jay said you can't knock the hustle..

[ktgreen14]

people who put lil wayne or drake are either fools or havent really listened to lupe... or lil wayne for that matter

[BusterEason30]

"'I'm hotter than red with a head full of lye

Better run & get spike & tell 'em I'm on fire."

If y'all don't get the Denzel Washington/Malcolm X reference then I'm ashamed!

[gregilo]

@BusterEason30 Lupe is an absolute lyric genius lol for the people who don't understand he's referring when back in the 60's Malcolm-X put lye in his hair so it can be straight and it burned and in the movie Shawty (Spike) cooled down his hair.

[elnegrobembon]

@BusterEason30

damn... that went right over my head. lol!! good lookin on that tho.. i remember now what hes talkin about..

[DynastyEmpire]

"cuffing my jeans like im arresting my dress code" ewww L-U-P-E all day xD

[manipulativeMClyfe]

"i was bout as uncool(uncle) as a nieces mothers biggest brother" ridiculous!



[zackin2001]

its funny how really raps about the same shit drake and lil wayne raps about, BUT HOLY FUCK HE ACTUALLY MAKES IT SOUND GOOD AND FUCKIN KILLS THIS SHIT!!!!

[antipopboner]

the original song is by Jimi Hendrix.it's called fire.i would like if the guy who made this would say that on the video or on the comments.yea he sampled but that's common on rap songs.

[chosenxeno]

@antipopboner he probaly didn't because Lupe's fanbase listen to more than just hip hop?

[romes98ify]

@antipopboner this guys fanbase is smart enough to know where the sample is from, and thers nothin wrong with samplin, its showin appreciation for other genres of music

[gregilo]

@romes98ify Word sampling body of work from Jimi Hendrix is pure genius. It's like in any form of music that Lupe and Wayne matches up in Lupe somehow comes out on top.

[chukd1]

@romes98ify ppl dont understand the positive perspective of sampling

[nicyomo]

i need that jacket



[nocombat]

[Lesjapse]

@UptownChill It's Fire - Jimmi Hendrix. actually this is the worst remix i've ever heard. damn what a crap

[UptownChill]

@Lesjapse i know he went ham on tihs lol.

[Screwston4Ever]

@Lesjapse Are you serious? you must be outta your mind, this is fuckin beautiful...why wouldnt you want the best of both worlds on one track? Jimmi Hendrix with his insane guitar playing skills, and Lupe Fiasco with his ridiculously amazing wordplay....crazy....

[liquidpaper1995]

[darksonic50047]

@elitesniper923 lol is that a compliment or a diss?

[elitesniper923]

@darksonic50047 Lol i was saying that... to me at least it doesn't sound very good. But i don't really care for rap that takes classic songs and samples them.

[jesseclifton]

@elitesniper923 why cause of the lyricall brilliance of this song
