@mmckoy24 and then lasers dropped...
-
@DJRedMEDIA very very true all black everything is good and laser was you know eh but how come people dont seem to give props to words i never siad sure it may have an electric pop-ish beat but the lyrics are very much lupe fiasco
-
Jesus H this is real music!
-
@zlindrin or not simply enjoy him; this is a dope song tho
-
Lupe said it NO ONE DOES IT BETTER
and i agree no one does rap better than lupe
-
The Lupe sampled version of the song sounds better than the Wale sample version.
-
@thelupendblog That was ILL! I like how they flipped that sample! That song was from "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" soundtrack.

@DJRedMEDIA But there are plenty of artists that are the same way. Jay Electronica, Blu, Shad, Fashawn, Tunji ect. all started rapping after 2000 and are far from gangsta rappers. Also, the Wu-Tang Clan is no less gangsta rap than any rapper out there today. They're far better lyricists than the average rapper nowadays, but they're 100% gangsta rap.

@ReturnOfTheZ I will correct him in politically correct fashion, Lupe Fiasco is one of the few artists that rose up in the 2000's and actually keeps it true to the style of Hip Hop without buying into all the trap music and gangsta rap that has dominated this era. In other words, if Lupe had rapped during the 90's and was around today, we'd put him up there with Nas and Wu-Tang, but if I had to guess, I would say that if he keeps putting out material he will be a shining star in this drought.

@poetmm lasers despite it's appeal to mainstream listeners, still had some classic tracks like "All Black Everything", that's okay though, because 10 years later when we look back on Lupe's albums to date, Lasers will be a small drop of ink on a masterpiece of a legacy.
Lupe Fiasco is the Best Emcee of this generation and arguably ever

The first time I heard this song back in 2007 I wished I could have told every rapper out to just quit and go to McD's and start flippin burgers cuz there was no way anyone could captivate me musically like Lupe did and does on this.. Pure genius on this song and even though he doesnt sell a huge amount of albums like a lot of other rappers he is by far the most talented and the most lyrically superior MC. IMO if you dont like Lupe you just cant have a functioning brain.
