lupe fiasco and mos def are like those family members you dont notice/value that much when they're around and once they're gone you realise they were the only ones worth noticing..and you're stuck with a bunch of douchebags forever.

[robertbils]

Kanye needs to go on tour again. I must see him live. Fuck all the haters. And its great to hear Mos Again...... to kanye: Kanye Ur fans love you. And i know ur not racist cause im white and ur biggest fan. LoL! I know u got so many verses like this written u need TO put more of them to music and GOOD FRIDAYS AGAIN. Peace Ye! even though ur never read this.

[iheartsmith9]

@robertbils

couldn't agree more. There are so many ignorant ass Kanye West haters. I miss him :(

[NICKEYBLACK35]

Kanye went in, but he did take up maddddd time. Mos did him, but he didn't let loose the juice

[jien04]

the beat at the beginning is on the tip of my tongue but just cant put a finger on it. what is it?

[jien04]

@jien04

i know the latter part's slum v's fall in love but its the beginning that's escaping me. sick freestyle though

[TheSinghFIRE]

@jien04 Fantastic Intro by Slum Village. All the beats on here are done by J-Dilla. Im so glad they jumped on his stuff, he deserved so much. But when Fall N Love came in, i actually went crazy. RIP Jay Dee.

[1Luislopez1]

@jien04 Fall In Love

[BrotherJR76]

Someone needs to put up the whole cypher which lasted 27 minutes.

[seanp3688]

@BrotherJR76 Seriously!?

[BrotherJR76]

@seanp3688 Yep, 27 minutes. U can find it at okayplayer's website

[OutlawBebop8]

seriously, this is ridiculous. why isn't anyone noting mos' great 2 minute freestyle. is it because kanye was on for fucking 5 minutes and people tuned out before mos went in, or what? jesus

one line, kanye

[azubike]

@OutlawBebop8 I agree with what your saying but Kanye's freestyle dealt more with his life so I could kinda place an image with his lyrics...but yea im not gonna lie I did kinda tune mos def out at first but after listening to it again I gotta say these two are extremely talented

[TonyFA]

kanye ripped this shit, he wasnt lying when he said he wants to be the best rapper alive on twitter a while back

[DiezelBeats1234]

and all this illuminati talk like my first hit single wasnt JESUS WALKS!!!!!!!

KANYE IS A MONSTER!!!

[OutlawBebop8]

@DiezelBeats1234 but that was literally his only dope line haha. i mean, mos was incredible but kanye was eehhh

[DiezelBeats1234]

@OutlawBebop8 ehhh i would have to dis agree I mean dont get me wrong i thought mos went in too and so did kanye im not saying anyone was better but i thought kanye did a really good job

[Iannes33]

@OutlawBebop8

I thought he had a few good lines other than just that.

"...Like jokes. You keep playin' with them White folks.

Can't even 'take the piss', they gon' test your urine

cut all the sponsorship for the tourin'".

"Enough lashes like I ain't seen enough

On the real, this is like the neo-Emmitt Till

Whistling'll get yo fuckin' ass killed

On the real"

[onesuchpath]

@DiezelBeats1234 can someone explain "and all this illuminati talk like my first hit single wasnt jesus walks" is supposed to mean? lol I know that is his track, but i dont get what hes getting at

[KillaFreedom]

@onesuchpath A decent amount of people on the internet regard him as being part of the Illuminati Music Industry shit, but he's saying he can't be, because his first hit single was 'Jesus Walks' which of course, is about Jesus and the praising of his fulfillments in people's lives, the exact opposite of world destruction and worshipping the devil.

[TheRapResurrection]

@DiezelBeats1234 Damn i believe he is illuminati, but that is an ill line.

[Helslinky]

@TheRapResurrection He ain't illuminati,...he's BLACK!

[khanmogul]

@DiezelBeats1234 so what?!? i was one of Kanye's biggest supporters underground. How can you even compare Jesus walks to the autotune release of recent. 'Something' has obviously changed. like, how many 'Jesus' songs is he makin now?? C'mon Son!! (big up Ed)

[Dre36]

@khanmogul

I think you have forgotten that Kanye is artist. I think as a music fan who listens to different styles and appreciates different music it's unrealistic for someone like him to have a set or predictable style. So what he did an auto tune album? Its a different style, its a different concept. There are many things he has done recently that are thought provoking like his runaway mini film. I think unrealistic to expect artists to keep making the same things over and over.

[khanmogul]

@Dre36 I havent forgotten anything. The fact kanye is an "artist" is the whole point. As a real fan you must have discernment. Just because ' oh snap its kanye's' doesnt make it golden. His autotune album sucked! period! even Jay followed with death to autotune. If you grew up listening to REAL hiphop you should've had an ear to make your own judgement. Next my original comment didnt attack his creativity, it attacked the CONTENT of the creativity. Jesus Walks video-->Coldest Winter video, fail.

[Dre36]

@khanmogul

No thats not what I'm getting at. I don't care about an artists reputation either. What I am saying is in response to Kanye not being consistent because you said he hasn't done much "jesus walks" tracks since. What i am asking is how many 'jesus walks' tracks do you want him to make? The fact that his autotune ablum sucked is a matter of opinion and the fact that Jay Z attacked it is neither here nor there, why is HE so relevant. The fact it's Jay z doesn't "make it golden" either.

[khanmogul]

@Dre36 I was being facetious when i said 'done much...'. Truth, he hasnt made tracks with as much heart as Jesus Walks concerning God (spiritual improvement), black community (social improvement), education/intellect (mental improvement); epecially compared to how many songs he actually recorded. everyone givin thumbs up 2 kanye, like LUPE and MOS aint up here! both them r more conscious n consistent with content. jay sentence was 4 the 'different style/concept' comment, not 4 a main idea.

[Dre36]

@khanmogul

Yeah I agree. I wasn't necessarily backing Kanye either It's just that I wanted to pick up some things you said. Cool. Your right about people not noticing Mos and Lupe. Ironically I remember when I was younger it was the smart boys the girls would go after. Maybe its a generation thing. Getting back to the Cypher, It's a shame that the lyrical ability of Lupe and Mos is not recognised as much as Kanye for sure.

[seafoamwinter]

Three legends killin it!!

[BijanJayyy]

Kanye killed. What beat is this?

[airhab]

Das real Nigga Das Real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daren185]

[TheSinghFIRE]
