  • Wow, I can't believe I didn't hear this until today. I guess I was so disappointed with Lasers that I just sort of haven't followed Lupe much since. Missed super Lupe lyrical songs that didn't try to make him be something that he isn't, like Lasers did.

  • the best lyricist alive are u fucking kidding me, no one has as much content debt, comined with metaphors hard as a fucking steel door. his rap songs make my skin shiver and rappers dont usually have that affect on me. this man is sick. omg too much. im cuttin the song off GN

  • @Jmontastic I think that's a load of bull. Lupe wanted to change his sound, and he's using Atlantic to take blame for all his fans that didn't like it.

  • SLR or Failure

    Which is better???

  • what is the orignal song lupe is rapping over

  • 67,000 views??? Like, are you fucking kidding me!?? This is by far one of, if not the greatest, tracks Lupe ever made. Every line had substance, meaning, and depth. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. Flow, clever lines, chorus, it's all there. Talent like this shouldn't go unnoticed people. You'll be wishing him back when he retires. Spread the music, let's wake some bitches up.

  • @samuelb025 ^ this comment is approved by many hiphop heads. I noticed on this tape he has better beath control or production. I used to hate those long as breaths he had to take. this beat is a fuckin problem ya dig? I make my chick listen to this every day since it dropped.

  • Monster lyrics and equally huge beat....YES YES YES

  • Flow is so nuts, the track is gettin teabagged

  • Lupe. Blu. Kendrick Lamar. That's all I need

  • @Sooners4ever25 ((((((( Blu )))))))

  • Yo Lupe went crazyyyyy on this track, ABSOLUTELY NUTS!! "A Jesus in the desert walkin, Dundee walkabout, A self imposed exile, learned to let the awesome out, Even if I was homeless I would STILL have an awesome house"! << That Was DEEP smh

  • he not addressing lil b he cool with him.

    only soulja boy

  • Super leahh raps:P

  • Daily underground rap hip-hop videos to build your minds faster

    randomaccesstalk.blogspot.com

    Get off that mainstream shit

  • Jay Elect might have given Lupe a run for his money

  • I've been listening to Lupe for years...i've got all his pre-Lasers tracks. But the new stuff he's putting out isn't as good as his old stuff. His delivery is getting lazier, he's putting on a weird semi-southern accent, and his lyrics, although still deep meaning, are getting more abstract.

  • @skaterava no doubt.

    Missed the times when it was stuff like paris tokyo, kick push, the coolest failure and so much other stuff

  • @MrVizionary2012: Yeah, definitely. IMO his material on the Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtapes was incredible. Tracks like Knockin At the Door, Handcuffs, and Lupe the Killa are ill.

  • @skaterava his record company forced him to change Lasers and make it more 'commercial' which accounts for a lot of that

  • @StudioScarecrow: I heard about that, but if it's left a lasting effect on everything he makes from now on, I won't listen to his new stuff. Food and Liquor 2 has been announced, I hope its of the same calibre as 1.

  • @skaterava Well, in my opinion, most of the tracks on Friend of the People were really amazing, Lupe's delivery was on point, the lyrics (almost) as playful, intricate and deep as in the "good days" - fully agree regarding Lasers though, that album was deliberately watered down by Atlantic Records.

  • Lasers was terrible for Lupe standards but still one of the better releases in awhile.

  • if anything lupe is underrated, but most people dont understand what the fuck his talking bout most of the time. wale is underrated, kendrick is gonna blow up in 2012, his got the lyrical flow and connections. section .80 was the bomb. in my opinion i think lasers was created to try and be more commercial and mainstream.

  • This song is decent....Lupe is overrated in my opinion

  • @fruityloopsamples overrated? youre a dumbass. and this song is amazing

  • @fruityloopsamples

    lol So, who is underrated in your opinion? Who are you a fan of?

    You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't see how you can call this song "decent" or call Lupe overrated.

  • @Ginga underrated-Wale, Big K.R.I.T., ASAP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar

    I like Lupe I just feel like this song isn't what Lupe once was in the Food and Liquor era I mean this song is not commercial at all but LASERS was such a dissapointment

  • @fruityloopsamples

    I don't listen to Rocky or Lamar but I can agree Wale and KRIT are underrated. Still, how is Lupe overrated? His name is rarely mentioned when people discuss the best MCs. People know he's lyrical but I don't think he really gets his due.

    I completely disagree that this isn't reminiscent of Lupe's F&L sound. It reminds me of "Emperor's Soundtrack". Soundtrakk produced the instrumental for that, along with four others on F&L. He also produced this instrumental.

  • @fruityloopsamples Kendrick Lamar isn't underrated he's has gotten an immense amount of recognition last year. Besides that I agree with what you wrote except Lupe was at his best from F&L to EOTS, and a little bit after EOTS. However, I still think Lupe can deliver the same quality, and even release better lyricism then he had in his F&L to EOTS days. He still can rap circles around the majority of rappers, and is still one of the best to ever do it.

  • @fruityloopsamples Ofcourse LASERS was a dissapointment, and even Lupe said that himself after the record company tried to fuck him over. Food and Liquor 2 and his live concerts are a way for Lupe to say sorry to his fans. It will be untouched by Atlantic Records.

  • Cuz nigga I dont believe dat

    Like 9/11 came from E-raq

  • @brydavis came from the Internet? hah! nice catch!

  • @jfraz1992 Don't You Hate It When People Think Something Is Cool Or Good Just Because It's Popular? It's Fucking Annoying What People Will Do To Fit In With My Dumb Generation

  • 'I dont care for similarities cause Im a pioneer, not a parody... These aint bars, this is barbarity - SLR... clarity' Insaaaaaaane!! o_O

  • Something about this track makes me wanna go nuts and start throwing shit. IT'S FUCKING FIRE!

  • this man is being used by God, only the real can see that. doyble burger with cheese=food for thought. WAKE UP!!!!!

  • 5 people couldnt figure out what lupe was rapping about

  • 5 people couldnt figure out what lupe was rapping about

  • This man is god

  • Best Rapper Alive : Lupe Fiasco and future best rapper of all time !

  • If we found out Obama listens to Lupe, he'd probably get the Humanitarian award.

  • WHen i hear him go "2 nigga Big Pun, 1 Man Slaughterhouse, 2 album Jay Z, 1 Nigga Wu-Tang, Young and Hungry Mos Def, Conscious Rappin Lil Wayne" I'm like Oh shit he means business about Top 5 alive

  • Where the fuck have I been at. Just heard this today off the mixtape and I may have lost my mind listening to this song. FIRE!!!

  • GOD DAMN. This is probably one of his best songs. This nigga is one of the GOATs no doubt

  • maybe his career didnt end with lazers.....

  • "Cuz the world is mine, Lupe to the rescue, the world is fine, words in lines of mine I feel I'm better than every rapper in the world COMBINED!"

  • The 4 idiots who disliked this are Lil B fans, straight up

  • @kbizzle31 Lupe Fiasco said Lil B's album was nice

  • @puffdaniel09 lol and I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm

  • @kbizzle31 No he was actually serious and he gave Lil B praise for what he was doing.

  • @kbizzle31 "Controversial, independent, fearless with a massive movement built off of a crazy work ethic...sounds like #Winning to me. Why hate on that???" - Lupe Fiasco on Twitter. I would show the pic but youtube won't allow me to post the link I guess.

  • @puffdaniel09 lil b is still ass regardless of what lupe said

  • @jfraz1992 Hating Lil B is the first step of the based process.

  • @puffdaniel09 idgaf what u say like i said this nigga is garbage and that's a complete fact and he has 0 purpose

  • @jfraz1992 lol why u mad tho?

  • @puffdaniel09 because niggas like u are defending ignorance, and only reason why lupe fucked with it because lil b was tryna be so called conscious on the i'm gay album but guess what that shit FLOPPED! so hell yea i'm mad because too many ppl are sucking this man's dick

  • @jfraz1992 watch?v=dLOwQgzBH-c

  • @puffdaniel09 yea i seen it already, whats ur point?

  • @jfraz1992 lol I used to be just like you make fun of Lil B. But then I saw the light. You just don't understand yet, but once you do your perception will be changed.

  • @puffdaniel09 the light of what? this nigga is NOT clever at all, he's all about shock value and makes ppl thinks he's conscious

  • Thanks for the warning's Lupe.

  • @TheNWOAssasin specify the warnings... too many theories on illuminati plans

  • @ThatboyCubie Just be prepared that's the biggest of them all.

  • Did he just say he T-baged that track? Hahah YES

  • Rap genius people Rapgenius..yes i work there ahaha

  • DOPENESS!

  • @MrGangster4lyf Hip-hop isn't all about disses. If it was, there would be no progress and the genre as a whole would die.

  • Best track off FOTP imo

  • shit.. I been tryna steal mr west frooo for a minute lol

  • my nigga lupe murdered this track fo sho

  • Soulja, what the fuck you talkin' about?

  • one man slaughterhouse? damn

  • My flow is so nuts your track is getting teabagged?

    Lupe is just A M A Z I N G!! (;

  • Somebody tell Malcolm X that I'm tryna steal his style!

  • I call it catching Bullets with my Teeth!

    Lyrics are out this world,

  • souljah boy is a joke lol

  • isn't it ironic how this song is called SLR and is 6:12, and the Mercedes-Benz SLR makes 612 horsepower?

  • @iamrj7 thats not ironic at all

  • @bgreen6 shit is intentional!!! 

  • HE SPAZZED!

  • Malcom X HUEY!

  • "red cardier look like superman house". Yall ever see superman house?

  • I like how in the details he talks about how lupe is awesome cause his lyrics are deep and take time to understand...then he posts the lyrics wrong, clearly you dont understand them. Unofrtunately this wont get thumbs up cause many people dont understand the lyrics. Lyrics posted are wrong, it takes a different breed of person to understand lupe i guess

  • Super. Lupe. Rap.

    

  • hi boy you wanna hay out

  • tell Cornell West that Im tryna steal his frooo.. Sir Lupe

  • CHECK OUT...

    Eli G - Hold You Down

  • he gave shouts out to lil B

    lupe is a masterchef =']

  • I DARE Soulja boy to respond to this.  I DARE HIM!!

  • @bigdaddyJEW13 He did but his song was only 2-3 minutes long and didn't make sense.

  • @YouBeMadlol lmfao if your saying soulja boy will kill him,lupe is the most feared person in chicago,its a fact.and hes a 3rd degree black belt in karate.GOOD LUCK :).

  • @mismunk222 because I never implied or said soulja boi "would kill him" I have no idea what you're talking about sir.

  • Comment removed

  • "2 man Big Pun, a 1 man Slaughterhouse A 2 album Jay-Z, a 1 nigga Wu-Tang Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin Lil Wayne" nuff said.

  • he takes a couple stabs at lil wayne in this. i think it's good that he is pointing out that it's stupid that a hot line is just "a pause and a chuckle" for most of his punchlines, but i thought lupe was better than that. leave the hating for 50 cent.

  • @ramafia09 no he is is saying "its more than a pause and a chuckle. I bench press elephants and bowling ball juggle." basically saying that he does the impossible while he is laughing

  • crazy bars..dude is so underrated

  • this shit fiyyyaaahhh!!!!

  • Best song from FOTP besides Lightwork. Besides that, the whole mixtape was just Lasers shit x 10. Lyrics were okay, but the mainstream beats were painful to listen to. Come back to your FnL days, Lupe.

  • @A094H2 they wernt mainstream beats. they were dubstep. and listen to the lyrics on the mixtape. they're amazing.

  • @FINofficial I'm not of my last post's opinion anymore, my bad. I went back and took a second listen, and realized that the lyrics are maybe some of the most amazing rhymes spit by Lu since FnL. However, I still don't like the beats; dubstep IS mainstream. So, a great mixtape if you're looking at the lyricism, but the beats slightly overshadowed that in a negative way for me.

  • @A094H2 remember tho.. its jus a mixtape. hes havin fun with different beats that he usually wouldnt rap on. i thought this track would be on lasers, cuz soundtrakk produced it. crazy track. goes at soulja boy in second verse too

  • @FINofficial actually in his first verse also. If you don't understand the references try rapgenius .... Com

  • @YouBeMadlol oh shit! thanks man!

  • @FINofficial np lupe usually can refer to multiple things in one line. You should sign up to the site!

  • @YouBeMadlol yeah man im always listenin 2 his rhymes closely. hes my favorite rapper ever since i heard daydreamin

  • niigga aint no shit bout lupe and his music listen and open ur mind and things come to truth and flow like mucus in a klen

    -x

  • Super Lupe, myyyyy niggguh!

    go cop Friend of the People, this song is on that mixtape!

    while your at it download Immortal Technique's Martyr mixtape!

  • @ProlificTheLyricist *underrated

  • @FINofficial LOL not at all. I can name 50 rappers off the top of my head that are more underrated than this clown.

  • @ProlificTheLyricist calling him a clown means u dont understand his music therefore i have no reason to argue with you.

  • @ProlificTheLyricist That was the worst insult I have ever read. It's not even clever lmao.

  • @StanleyCarpel It's not an insult. It's a statement that this song is boring as fuck. It also means that Lupe Fiasco and all of his fans are clowns.

  • @ProlificTheLyricist lol time for somebody to go to RapGenius and type in Lupe Fiasco =]

  • @HueyEscobar56 Sorry, I don't need RapGenius, his pseudo-intellectualism doesn't go over my head.

  • @ProlificTheLyricist Apparently you do need RapGenius since you call this song boring. Compare those 50 underrated rappers to Lupe in terms of lyrcism, Lupe will pretty much eat them up. That simple. =\

  • @ProlificTheLyricist H.O.P= Hold On Playa!!!!(Deion Sander Voice) I'm a Lupe Fiasco fan so that means I'm a clown? If that's the case that would be the most asinine fallacious comment I would of read all day.

  • I don't give A fuck what anybody says, Lupe finished everybody on this track.

  • This is Truly A Great Fuckin Track

    Lupe "Tha G.O.A.T" Fiasco

  • @Eziokilla9595

    Yea Eminem has dissed him on multiple occasions but just joking around. I would love to see that collab it would be sick as hell, Shady 2.0 was some of the sickest shit I've ever heard.

  • i love how broken this beat is

  • Low-key I just noticed this cameout this day last year #2011

  • Dear god this man is so damn awsome

  • I just wish Lil Wayne or drake or one of them pop rappers Diss Lupe's religion so he disses em back.

    Please god I want to see Lupe lyrically anal some rapper Please god before I die I have to see this.

  • @MrGangster4lyf No one is going to respond to Lupe. It doesnt matter if Lupe can rhyme. there's a difference between a lyricist and being a battle rapper. Lupe as far as i can tell is not a battle rapper.

  • @HotPocketsBoy Yeah I agree. He's talented, but beef is NOT his strong suit. It doesn't matter how complex you are, if you can't take a hit in the industry, you're fucked.

  • @Eziokilla9595 exactly.

  • @MrGangster4lyf lol word

  • @MrGangster4lyf thats not what hip hop is about.

  • @phxsunsrbest

    Man I'm just waiting for Wayne to diss Lupe or even Eminem because it will be the end of his career haha

  • @DJSJ31 Em already dissed Wayne in Seduction. Lupe would kill Wayne, too. I actually want those two to collab sometime.

  • country music is for faggots.

  • "Flow is so nuts, the track is getting tea bagged" OMG beast

  • dont lyke the background music, but i love the song

  • I'm so upset I didn't here this sooner! Soulja Boy ... you are one ignorant dude!

  • What kind of Sucka Shit is this???

    Get real!

  • @MrSneakerboxx7 NUMBER 1- Hop off of Lupe's dick. NUMBER 2- Who says sucka? NUMBER 3- He's as real as it gets so I suggest you fuck off.

  • "These ain't bars, this is barbarity"

    Indeed it is Lu! Indeed it is.

  • BEST LYRICIST TODAY

  • @AtlasLockmusic Kendrick Lamar

  • what the fuck just happened to my brain!?!?

  • lupe fiasco on any beat - game over.

  • @Nvcca2 lol Hopsin never dissed Lupe's rapping abilities he just said Lupe can't stakeboard.

  • Our generation is fucking stupid, kids today won't listen to something that isn't as basic as everyday conversation. If Lupe was born twenty years before he was, he would be among everybody's greatest of all time lists. No question.

  • If I challenged Lupe to a battle of rap ( writtin or freestlye ) I would probly shit myself, for everytime he uses a punchline.

  • Greatest of all time

  • Lupe, Said He likes Lil B, that he was a revolutionary, so I dont know what you cats are talking about, Look up the article and get your facts straight.

  • @ivansobeast We know that we're talking about how we still don't like him, even though Lupe loves him.

  • @ivansobeast stupid ass he said it was different and good in the sense that he was bold enough to have such a different title. he noted his bravery... lil b is smart he just acts like that. its a persona btw.

  • @ivansobeast lupe just loves how creative and diffent he is not that he actually is lyrically talented

  • Lyrically Lupe's the best at the moment, the mans a fuckin' genius

  • Lupe please do something like this to Hopsin !!! please just end him like this !

  • Lupe for President.

    Inshallah to my plan, hope it super pans out!

  • i was gonna start a lil rap sum but i quit lupe u win

  • Soulja Boy made 3 accounts and disliked this.

  • @galmon01 soulja boy didnt diss him. soulja just doesnt understand lu

  • I'm surprised this doesn't have a lot more views. Lupe went OFF on this one. Lyrically one of the best to ever bless the mic....come check out my rhymes on my page and let me know what u think J-WHIT

  • Why does this song have to end?

  • I understand where you are all coming from. We are all used to the same type of rap. go to world star and u see the rappers trying to get hot but they all rap and sound the same. Even though lil b does make some trash music, it is music no one else has dared to make. He is fearless. he will say some crazy shit i admit but that is only 4 ur attention b/c he knows how humans react to the shit he does. I feel it is all a unintentional or maybe intentional psychology.

  • Comment removed

  • People are judged upon who they associate with. Example: obama was judged b/c he brought common into the white house. If the greats of hip-hop (whom i trust) see or saw something in Lil B that I missed, i made sure I tried to see what they saw. And what I came to understand is that Lil B is pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and rap. He has said "take what you want from my collection" I have chosen to leave the wonton soups and take the good rap about shit that I care about.

  • @TheSenseiClay Yeah he is. As a fan of real hip hop, I respect Lil B for what he's doing.

  • @coriejay Lil b is doing nothing for hip hop

  • @AjLaya0 Cool story bro.

  • I really love Lupe's lyrics but something he always needed to work on since he first came out was his delivery. Just the way things sound when they come out his mouth. The way he says something could make it sound completely boring but it has so much substance to it. With a hotter delivery Lupe could probably be the best ever.

  • @marmugga24 Delivery? I never thought he needed to work on his delivery. I think it's top notch. Well, each to their own.
