He's speaking from "The Game's" point of view. The Game being the problems that plague our poor areas in society which, if u listen to certain songs on both his album, he has personified as a man. He also references "The Streets" which he has personified as a "green-eyed lady". Those green eyes being dollar signs. The running storyline that connects both albums is that a man named Michael Young History becomes influenced by the game and falls in love with the game's wife, the streets.
Bloody hell! The GAME is basically Satan anyway! LOL@ estevonba .. obviously got too scared. Past your bed time. He's letting people know how evil works across the world, that's all. Jeez!
@estevonba why would you have to read the holy bible in order to interpret his lyrics?? Thats just a retarded assumption......why cant it be to the people that recognize the evils that are existing in this world?Why do you need to be a specific religion to contemplate that???Stupid ignorance like that is what puts the world in the position that it is today....
@estevonba I really don't get you ol chum. I thought you were warning people not to listen to his music because it was demonic. Well if you are, you should know Lupe is a practising muslim, who never glorifies crime, hoes, materialism or any other type of evil. If anything Lupe exposes the truth of evil for what it truly is... EVIL. So we listen to this trck and we deteste what he is talking about. This music keeps truth alive amidst all the evil. So start listening to Lupe again bro!
@estevonba practicing 'their' faith... are you serious? what faith should I practice? and are you saying that he's possed by the devil? or did that just come out the wrong way?
@estevonba True, but it also doesn't matter what relgion you follow, there will always be evil and corrupt priests, imams and rabbis. I'd actually really like to see where you're comming from bro. send ova some lyrics.
@umarkhan I'll send you some lyrics later on I'm bout to get off here, needa get to sleep. Ill hit you up tomorrow(or later on today rather). Just listen to The Coolest track. Tell me what you think.
@estevonba Lupe is Muslim and i believe they read the Quran no the bible even though they do have similarities they are still very different in nature.....and the game doesnt have to be the "Devil"but umm yeah ok
@YungBandit I know he's a Muslim.... I don't care if he reads My Little Pony. I know what I hear and I know what he refers to! Its all too clear to me. I don't care what anybody else says! He talks about he's "Beaming" (which you guys probably don't know what it really means but I'm sure you'll tell me what Lupe was TRYING to say in the song...) and flashing the eye all in the video for no reason...
@estevonba hes against the Illuminati brother doesnt have to be Christan or have Christan references now if thats what his fans want to interpret it to be then thats ok, does not mean that its necessarily what hes talking about... Lupe also has metaphors beneath his metaphors maybe your not thinking deeply enough and is just making an interpretation on what you want to believe...but many of his songs connect to this one story as much as you would like to believe the game is not the "devil"
@estevonba it all depends on how you look at it but in "I'm beamin" he refers to the Illuminati conspiracy so the flashing eye goes perfectly with that, it's not there for no reason. but I really think you take the lyrics literally and don't really get the underlying meaning.
this is the most amazing piece of art i've ever heard. No video needed he painted the picture perfectly with his words... and he didn't glorify the Game. Why can't Hip Hop just go in this direction and grow?
@estevonba It's not Satan. It's one of his concept characters, The Game. Look at the cover. The hand is The Cool (from the song on Food & Liquor), the heart & lock is The Streets (supposedly from Streets on Fire, and many of his older mixtape tracks), and the skull is The Game. The Game is the bad of the entire world as the song states.
When I analyze the lyrics I have the feeling the Devil is saying all of it, crazy!
"Speak every single language on the planet" "They love my darkness, I make them heartless" "I'm the reason it's become this way, and their love for it is the reason I've become this praised"
I stopped smoking weed. This was the last song I listened to high. It was the realist ish I ever heard. I've heard it many times, but I zoned into the lyrics and it all became clear. O_o
i have this album in the same room im listening to this! im addicted to lupe, lupe = anit-bullshit, truth and more... he's the best rapper ever... who else you know personify's the game or even talks bout this anymore rappers glorify themselves, lupe is humble! he's modest and he rapping for a good reason... fuck all bull shit rappers like flo rida, soulja boy, waka flocka, fucking douche bags dont know what the fuck real hip hop is, hip hop did not save lupe, lupe saved hip hop!

@TheCoolestJC You might try listening to the lyrics one more time. You're just elucidating the theme of the entire album, which does, indeed, follow a specific fictional character.
the point of view is that from evil in general. Look at the lyrics as a whole. He's saying evil is one of the most ancient-ist of things, it's affected politics since pages, queens, and kings. "And from a throne of their bones I rule,
These fools are my fuel,
So I make them Cool" Lupe has realized that the world is hypnotized by evil, it's everywhere, and it's been that way for awhile now.
@MrOnlycanbeme you idiot hes not the devil hes "the game" (not the rapper) actually listen to the lyrics, he decribes the game better than any other rapper has. Even the last lines end with game. PLUS he named the song put you on game - meaning let me bring you up to speed on the game-
and if you dont know what the game is, you need to listen to more rap
@pfctemp Actually, the song is written in the first person in the view of a firearm. Say what you will, but the US is closer to abstract concept than it is inanimate object.
lupe fiasco, kid cudi, and eminem are the greatest rappers alive to this day (excludnig tupac). Eminem is better but lupe is very great and should be bigger than he is. also for those arguing bout eminem, he is the greatest. not really anymore cuz the way the rap/hip hop has changed hes gotten worse. I mean just put on a track from the eminem show, slim shady lp, or marshall mathers lp and u realize how powerful his words are. encore was kind of bad cuz of the accents he made though, sadly.
@jdsilvestri wow did you just say nas. I hate when people say that niggas name. He is in no way shape or form even close to Lupe. Don't get me wrong its Killuminati over here so im good off lupe too but nas is weak.
@PickYourVenom hell no man Lupe is legit bro but there is no lyricist better than Tech N9NE & i stand by that. ifu aint heard em then dont diss me yet check him out ifu hav heard him & aint a fan then i respect ur opinion (jus puttin that cuz i aint tryna start another youtube war lol)
@Alwaysdtf fuck u bitch u obviously hav no fuckin clue bout Tech N9NE he has NOTHING 2 DO WITH THE INSANE CLOWN PUSSIES! his face paint is tribal a tribute 2 his ancestors & hes the greatest lyricist 2 ever rap!
@Alwaysdtf man shut the fuck up he is good & i do listen 2 him but where the fuck did i evr diss Lupe? ill listen 2 him all i want cuz ya he is badfuckinass i was jus statin that i think Tech N9NE is the best ever u aint gotta b a fuckin crybaby bitch bout it grow the fuck up.
@Alwaysdtf man shut the fuck up he is good & i do listen 2 him but where the fuck did i evr diss Lupe? ill listen 2 him (Lupe that is) all i want cuz ya he is badfuckinass i was jus statin that i think Tech N9NE is the best ever u aint gotta b a fuckin crybaby bitch bout it grow the fuck up.
@PickYourVenom r u stupid? u must have only listened to Lupe.. Eminem is greatest rapper ever, and the greatest lyricst in rap history.. its has already been proven,.. every rapper have said it..even Fiasco himself.u need to start listening to other rapper than only Lupe.
@babeslayer117 Dude do u know what ur talking abiut? do u even know eminem to even judge him? have listened to every eminem track ,everyfreestyle every everythign he ever made? i bet u heard one eminem song ur whole life..cause udont even know what ur talkign about,..u compare a youngester to A fucking immortal Legend...fucking greatest lyricest in rap history..he would kill any rappeer in freestyle battle,,tare em tha fuck out. Binary is good, but yo dotn compare him to em.thats for sure.
@2pacslimshady ive listened to every album he4s put out since slim shady lady lp.he is ONE of the greatest lyricists of all time ill agree with you there but to say hes the greatest in all rap history is just giving undue credit.what about relapse album that was a peice of shit! and i doubt youve listened to every other rap phenom with an open perspective or have even heard enough hip hop to say hes the greatest.there are soo many emcees that could rival his skills written or freestyle,so chill
@babeslayer117 Relapse was lyrically ill.. u just odnt accept it,,. and dont liek it,.. everybody lieks different stuff.. dotn blame u..but u jsut gotta lsiten to that flwo and ill syllables in relapse homie.
@2pacslimshady eminem is amazing as well, and his older albums were better than lupe's, but food & liquor and the cool are in my opinion way better then the albums eminem released recently. even if they get no airplay. best lyricist in rap history? big pun, big l, biggie, RZA, GZA. i can't choose between them. most likely punisher's lyrics are the best though.
@Young7Prince They have? on B.o.B album they done Past my shades, and they both slapped in decent versus in Janelle Monao's song, tightrope, wondamix remix....
This song is about gun violence and how it has related to everything throughout history. It has nothing to do with Illuminati. I'm so tired of this whole illuminati crap and the conspiracy theories. If it even existed people wouldn't be talking about it. This is a satire from the point of view of a gun, like in school shootings and poor black neighborhoods.

i listen to this song ALOT and i have yet to find another song metaphorically comparable.
& to the weak minded - THIS SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ILLUMINATI. Let me Dumb It Down for you briefly: This song as a whole is talking about the rap industry & the culture, its reffering to the violence, degrading women and the lifestyle that most rappers reenact from movies like scarface.
He looks at the Rap industry as a platform for ignorance & it is glorified like its cool but they r being played.
real talk, some people just listen to this as if it was normal, its art, lupes an artist just dropping sick rhymes. Thats what i used to think too. but i started looking more into that illuminati stuff, i did my reseach and now i can talk! listening to tracks like this is just plain sick. theyre sending out intense, outrageous and subliminal messages thru music, and you dont even know it. this is not a song, its a statement, and if ur too dumb to realise it, sucks to be u.
"I am the american dream, the rape of africa, the undying maching, the over priced medicene, the tough guys front and the one behind the scenes, I am the blood of this city,
LetOurLittleLadyTalk: Eh, I was originally going to correct a few mistakes in your typing, but alas I'll just post my initial response to your comment,
It's not the fact that this song is insanely "deep." In fact, it's just a 3 minute-long metaphor that doesn't require much clairvoyance to understand. However, his flow appeals to the ears, and the fact that he's rapping about SOMETHING makes it all the better. I, personally, love this song, and unless you'd rather hear Soulja Boy rap on it.....
Did you even understand the concept of the song, or even listen to the lyrics? Calling this "dumbed down" suggests that you didn't. It's not about being the "best rapper" beacause yes there are more impressive songs out there if your looking simply for a nice flow. Even Lupe has songs with better flow, but this song is telling a story. Really, this is as good as mainstream rap gets nowdays, but perhaps you dislike it simply because it IS mainsteam?
Most under-rated rapper in the game... Lyrics that actually mean somethin... The Dumbing Down of America 2 keep the masses in the dark... While the people in power pull the strings n control the way naive minds think... Real Talk
@the2200 illuminati is not no "tin-foil hat" thing... it is satan worship... type it in backwards in the web address with it's . com and you will get the national security website... and Lupe is Anti illuminati
@khamani90 LOL you know people play into all these conspiracies? A web designer made would have made that website, and 'itanimulli' would be an inside joke/easter egg embedded within the script. What exactly does Satan worship involve by the way?
@LavLTC a web designer... have you looked at that website? that is the NSA website it does not say illuminati backwards after you press enter it turns to nsa . gov................ it involve allot of sexual and blood related things... your dollar right where the pyramid and eye is... already says in latin annuit coeptis he who approves our under taking, novus ordo seclorum new order of ages....
@LavLTC ur funny =_=... and when a web designer designs a web site for a government should illuminati backwards be considered a funny joke for a alternate web address? That's what they gonna say to the public if they announced it? sorry it was a joke :] and it goes over Americans head... if so America deserves everything that happens just like calling Bohemian grove on tape a joke :P a bunch of men with torches and cloaks meeting at night for a owl statue the God of human sacrifice smh America
@dimeguitarist nevermind my last comment. Just saw a radio broadcast with him and he said that this game is about the characteristics of one of the characters he has created in this album. the characters is the game ( the character in this song), the street and the cool.
can't listen to this just once, one of the best

Binary is good, but yo dotn compare him to em.thats for sure.

@2pacslimshady ive listened to every album he4s put out since slim shady lady lp.he is ONE of the greatest lyricists of all time ill agree with you there but to say hes the greatest in all rap history is just giving undue credit.what about relapse album that was a peice of shit! and i doubt youve listened to every other rap phenom with an open perspective or have even heard enough hip hop to say hes the greatest.there are soo many emcees that could rival his skills written or freestyle,so chill

@2pacslimshady eminem is amazing as well, and his older albums were better than lupe's, but food & liquor and the cool are in my opinion way better then the albums eminem released recently. even if they get no airplay. best lyricist in rap history? big pun, big l, biggie, RZA, GZA. i can't choose between them. most likely punisher's lyrics are the best though.

This song is about gun violence and how it has related to everything throughout history. It has nothing to do with Illuminati. I'm so tired of this whole illuminati crap and the conspiracy theories. If it even existed people wouldn't be talking about it. This is a satire from the point of view of a gun, like in school shootings and poor black neighborhoods.

i listen to this song ALOT and i have yet to find another song metaphorically comparable.
& to the weak minded - THIS SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ILLUMINATI. Let me Dumb It Down for you briefly: This song as a whole is talking about the rap industry & the culture, its reffering to the violence, degrading women and the lifestyle that most rappers reenact from movies like scarface.
He looks at the Rap industry as a platform for ignorance & it is glorified like its cool but they r being played.

real talk, some people just listen to this as if it was normal, its art, lupes an artist just dropping sick rhymes. Thats what i used to think too. but i started looking more into that illuminati stuff, i did my reseach and now i can talk! listening to tracks like this is just plain sick. theyre sending out intense, outrageous and subliminal messages thru music, and you dont even know it. this is not a song, its a statement, and if ur too dumb to realise it, sucks to be u.

The music starts off promising, then he starts rapping and it goes to crap.
He's okay if you're into this style of rap.
I still, however, remain unimpressed.
And the fact some people think these are deep lyrics denotes just how much America really is dumbed down.
Decent effort, but not even close to the best.

LetOurLittleLadyTalk: Eh, I was originally going to correct a few mistakes in your typing, but alas I'll just post my initial response to your comment,
It's not the fact that this song is insanely "deep." In fact, it's just a 3 minute-long metaphor that doesn't require much clairvoyance to understand. However, his flow appeals to the ears, and the fact that he's rapping about SOMETHING makes it all the better. I, personally, love this song, and unless you'd rather hear Soulja Boy rap on it.....

@LetOurLittleLadyTalk
Did you even understand the concept of the song, or even listen to the lyrics? Calling this "dumbed down" suggests that you didn't. It's not about being the "best rapper" beacause yes there are more impressive songs out there if your looking simply for a nice flow. Even Lupe has songs with better flow, but this song is telling a story. Really, this is as good as mainstream rap gets nowdays, but perhaps you dislike it simply because it IS mainsteam?
