Def sounds delete this dude, kinda tired of seeing his face around here...
not gonna lie, lupe went off on this track, he should 'dumb it down' for you haters
soulja boy cant even rap
this shit is funny as hell
crankallday -yo dume ass sayin soulja boy is the best.man u can go kill yo fuckin self.bitch ass nigga.dume ass
...Those who hate on Lupe are the ones that sit up and suck on Lil Waynes d*$k, always talking about the same shit...Can Lil Wayne make a song without talking about the same damn line "make it rain"...That's what we praise as a nation and all them dick suckin rappers talking about bitches and money...Subtract the money what would you be...A nigga trying to get a deal,a ugly nobody nigga trying to get a deal with no bitches on ya lap...Substance people...I know that if you rap and you got money the bitches will come, but what else can you talk about...Build character...Dumb it Down...Pour Champagne on a bitch???? Dumb it Down...
sick flow
Lupe tha man, been comin on this site for awhile now, finally signed up, This 50 vs. Kanye is huge gona start seein it alot more, no way kanye sells as much if he wasnt dropin same day as fif, artist gona be droppin against each other for that extra promotion, everyone wants to see whose gona sell more n make ppl get the hell out n buy the shit to support there man
nice track...lupe always has intelligent rhymes
lupe spit fire again hes right as long as him and mos and common and some more of them keep spitting over everybodies heads and not talking bout hoes and money they dont have a chance to sell thats why his ass said he was quitting after this album
Lupe needs more promotion...i dont think hes gonna quit hes gonna pull a jay-z or somethin but anyway this song is hot it sounds like older hip hop how his flow is on this song
Boring beat tight lyrics
eff the beat. I think the point was so you listen to the lyrics haha
This shit is fire... i love the concept also... cus alotta ppl hate on Lupe cus he has meaning behind his words, or his rhymes actually require "brain power" 2 get. alotta ppl used 2 the lame ass 1 liners so Lupe goes over they head (pause)... hot shit tho...
i'm pretty sure he is saying "Dumb It Down" which would make alot more sense if u listen to the lyrics of the song
You right thanks for pointing that out ..Gotta fix it ..Mind was somewhere else
hot shit from lupe like always
It's now verified.. It is the 1st single off "The Cool" it's not a rumor
9th bitches.
Anyway Lupe always brings the heat. Too bad the album got pushed back.
did u just call 9th? r u kiddin me?
i think we've just discovered a whole new brand of retard :P
This is true HIp Hop, Food and Liquor was classic, the concept of this song is fucking fire, not that bullshit lil wayne, no fucking solja boy, u cant blame the kid to be pissed off when he doesnt sell music when he's giving us great quality music he speaks about real shit, FnF,
L U P Emperor!!!!! So far Eardrum is the album of the year and i got a feeling Lupe's The Cool is another classic and no hype
You're right ..The concept is great
he is a beast
Itz On da Album he said so & I can't lie dis a hot track
8/10
This a creative track, and what makes it nice is that Lupe's flow to the beat speaks like "I got this."
daaaaaaaaaaaamn... this is hot. wow. this cat is FIRE.
my nigga Lu, amateur in the game but puts out classic material, CHI-TOWN STAND UP.
Lupe=smartest cat in hip hop
very good song... 7/10... would b better but the beat is 2 quiet lol... and the "dumb it down" screwed & chopped words are kind of gothic.... but a good song nonetheless
This track is ridiculous and if you want to play it on ur iTunes, simply visit http://gowhereblog.blogspot.com/ and DL it from there. I love how Lupe's comin' out w/ this track and the concept. It's the truth. But yeah, check out the site for Lupe and more updated hip hop/R&B
fuck him, he think he so great becuz hes "different"..wut is he talking about half the time? 50 cent is better than him and lupe will never go past platinum...
see people like u are exactly why people think 50's music is crap.. his rhymes are so kindergarten, y'all cant comprehend intelligent stuff...
an btw if ur wonderin wat hes talkin about in this song.. its you
You're dumb as fuck... Just because you're too retarded to understand what he's saying doesn't mean it's 10x better than 50.
Like he said "they told me i should dumb down cousin but i flatly refuse i aint dumb down nothin".
dude lupe is way betta and im a 50 fan
50 better than Lupe. wow that was some dumb shit to say. Thats exactly y he made this song ppl arent smart enough to get what he says so they dont listen to him. but like he said he aint dumb down nothin, and he should cause if he keeps doin it like this he'll b one of the best 4 sure. 50 better than lupe, dat was dumb as fuck lol
cosign the fireman lol he said 'it bout you'
aye take note tatz Gemini on tha hook, nigga gonna be big when hiz cd come out..go get hiz mixtape i THINK itz called ferenheit IV
nice track
JAY told you this along time ago"i dumb down my lyrics" so all off can understand its all in the hook understand and if you cant do that you need to overstand. real mc shit brrrrp
damn this shit was fire but he should have dumped all this hard lyrics on a nicer beat
shit go hard, lupe all day niggas
fire lupe im have the cool 2. Dont worry we got you!
Lovin' the hook! lol...
~Be Eazy!
This is the realest.
This song is hip-hop just like krs-one use 2 do and rap off a beat where it was so weird you had to pay attention to what he was saying you can hear the frustration in lupes voice too. yo i really hope this dude doesnt quit becuz his music is a blessing to rap but i can understand why hes so heated because he gave up the route to get a regular job and make consistent money and decided to rap and share is talent and the amount of time he must put into his lyrics must be crazy because they are so deep, so for it to be so poorly recieved even after the best intro you can get into the mainstream by being on a kanye west single with the best verse on the song he should have been an over night success but when he turns on his tv he see's soulja boy and hurricane chris everywhere gettin radio play...shit pisses me off and im not even rappin
Co-sign My nigga thats real talk
Co sign! But its up 2 us, the fans, to bring hip hop back!!!! Go buy Graduation, Go buy Finding Forever, Go Buy The Cool, Go buy Eardrum, if you haven't already, buy BE, Kingdom Come, Hip Hop is Dead, and Food and Liquor. If you bootleg it because you so anxious 2 hear it fine, but buy the shit when it comes out too so we can keep these type niggas in the game!!!!
This is the type of shit we need in the game back to the basics of Hip Hop.. Lupe real nice with the word play
dam his shit is sick
i like that he is taking a shot at the whole game
all the rappers who brought pop to hip hop
its good to see a lyricist in the game
i hope there was more than 5

HE IGHT
THE BEST LYRICIST FROM CHI TOWN
He up there but not going 2 put him over Common or Kanye! He part of the triple crown though.
RealDeal32 I gotta agree and disagree with you my dude he not as nice as common but he he spit more fire than Kanye.. But you deff right tho alot of nigas dont know about Food and Liquor, BE, and Finding Forever is deff gonna be a classic album
this hot like lava rocks
LUPE SHIT BE RIGHT
BUT WHO EVA IS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF HIS SHIT SUCKS
"THAT DUMBING DOWN" AND THE CHORUS SHIT IS BAD
Best artist alive hands down

This nigga got talent up tha ass ..No Homo
Lupe spit that real shit...Food & Liquor was a certified classic...he on another level...niggaz that gettin' all these spins can't fuck wit Lupe on the lyrical tip...thats whats fucked up about the game now...niggaz get headaches tryna come up wit some real ass shit to make a song about so they keep it simple and put out bullshit...do u Lupe...fuck the rest!
as a nigga fromda chi i would like to sat dont dumb done shyt dats y hip hop is hookd up to a respurator now lupe u puttin da chi back on da map LIKE WE EVER DISAPPERD but im feelin dis shyt and we gotcha
LUPE CAN BE ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERST EVER IF HE KEEPS BRINGIN HOT SHIT LIKE THIS!!
Common, Lupe, and Kanye need to do an album together..."Chi-Town Connection"
Of the three Chicago-ers Common's message relates so well, Lupe keeps constant wit in his delivery, and Kanye tends to have the best flow to his beats because he made them(and b/c of that rides his own beat the best)
This track is cold as hell. Keep it coming.
NemZero know wat he tlkn bout...Common, Lupe and Kanye is the only real MCs in the game...niggaz sleepin on Lupe this nigga always got a wicked verse...can't wait till the album drop
Lupe Fiasco Wow!! The Nigga is nasty. lol I say he's the Best rapper Alive currently. yeah I think he may be inferior to Common or Mos Def. But Damn there 30 plus. he's fucking 24.
And I know everybody's tried to write a rap before. And the know how difficult it is (well for some). But damn Lupe's vocab flow delivery, relevance, and lyrics are all on point. If he stays in the Game he's going down in the Top 5
this shit is tight
FINALY A RAPER NOW A DAYS WITH A GO VOCABULARY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LUPE IZ A RHYMIN APE!!!
man LUPE da Great is fukkn RETARDED!!! seriously! He makes theez rappers look retarded
oh yeah.....this kid cant be touched.......seriously.....beastly in everyway!!!!!
n this isnt the first single. its superstar.....which is crack.
like lissening to a dream
shit makes me want to scream at how nice he is!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Finally Something Different From One Of The Most Underrated Artists In The Game Lupe Speaks The Truth And That's Exactly What These Simple Ass Niggas Are Saying About This Type Of Music Because He Doesn't Rap About Guns, Sex, Drugs, And Flossing He's "Wack" Please Lupe Is Crazy And If These Dumb Asses Would Listen To The Lyrics And Stop Looking For Punchlines About The Same Shit Then They Would See That This Guy Is Far From Being "Wack" He's A Genius When It Comes To Lyrical Wordplay And I Know Most Of These Retarded Ass Dummies Are Wrecking Their Brains Trying To Figure Out What He's Saying And Truthfully..... That's The Funny Part About It LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
My nigga LUpe spit some serious shit on dis track
He said sphinx like leon(72 Ford car)
then he mentioned lion in the desert(sphinx)
He doubles the meanings of his lyrics. GENIUS
Can't wait for the cool.
my dude lupe is blowin up big and he making it real big 4 himself always bn a genius at work dis tha track
I've been listening to hip hop for a long time and can honestly say I've seen it's transformation like on Commons I used to love H.E.R. By far one of the tighest raps by the newer generation of artists. Lil wayne is nice but he don't talk to you when he rapping like this cat. I can care less about the beat (even tho to me it's tight) but he makes you pay attention. Good stuff, gonna get the album. And for a classic rapper/group that gets no respect on all these so called awards show, CHECK OUT GANG STARR!
Lupie is the G.O.A.T. for u Dumb ass niggas this stands for Greatest of all time.
Hey legend tell soulja boy stay off dat preschool shit then holla at me but till then...ill keep listen to my nigga crooked i. dude i bet mike jones can outflow Soulja boy..Thats pretty said.
