Is Lupe Fiasco really this nuts? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jakez · 09-16-2008, 06:11 PM

I don't know if this song is this nuts or is this guy just really overanalyzing the lyrics?

Here's the song explanation (too long to copy/paste): http://boards.atlanticrecords.com/ar...01#21810301901

It's about time a rapper with a mind calls out all these dumbfucks. This trend of embracing stupidity and the ghetto (AKA poor people) lifestyle has to end sometime.

Keep it up Lupe.

Pornstuck · 09-16-2008, 06:39 PM

I'm not reading all that.

cliffnotes?

Edit: ok i skimmed it why exactly is he nuts?

who the fuck sat down and wrote all that

Lupe's lyrics are highly overrated imo. Dude would be nothing without the great beats he gets. Moreso than Lil Wayne.

Another classic post from the so called "music journalist"

This is too funny.

Aww did I offend you little buddy? I'm sorry I sonned you but maybe you'll learn to keep your mouth shut and take heed when you don't know much about the subject matter at hand.

And I'm not a "music journalist". I'm a double major in music and journalism and I intern at at a publication because firstly it's a requirement of all seniors before graduation and secondly it's real fun to be around like minded knowledgeable people who are as nerdy about all music as I am.

Get back to submitting galleries, troll.

His beats are good, but you can't put him in a class with lil lame cmon...

His song Superstar, the chorus alone is amazing IMO:

If you are what you say you are
a superstar
then have no fear
the crowd is here
and the lights are on and they want a show
https://youtube.com/watch?v=gz22eK25GiA

Of course, he doesn't sing the chorus (which is the best part of the song), so I guess you could say that.. lol

CyberHustler · 09-16-2008, 08:12 PM

Lupe is one of the top lyricists in the game right now. Lil Wayne could never reach his level of talent as far as lyricism goes. Lupe could make a classic without a beat if he wanted.

Burridge · 09-16-2008, 08:46 PM

Sorry guys, I simply enjoy more Wayne songs than Lupe. Why? Probably cuz Wayne is more prolific and puts out like 2k songs a year. When you throw enough shit at the wall some of it sticks.

Lupe gets some awesome beats from Kanye and other producers signed to the Good Music label but I often find his his lyrics annoying. The thing is Lupe comes off as smug and modest at the same time and he's very aware of it. I feel like if he's not busy preaching within a song he's patting himself on the back for his duality. He's like a rugby playing opera singer running for mayor. I like a lot of his songs but I simply find the Lupe Fiasco persona contrived whereas Wayne sounds more effortless.

Kudles · 09-16-2008, 08:48 PM

I love that guy

aico · 09-16-2008, 08:48 PM

I stopped listening right after "like a chicken on a deer".

Keep it up Lupe.

So calling them out is by using phrases and statements that 99.9% of the listeners wont understand?? Yep. He's brave.

BOSS1 · 09-17-2008, 09:11 AM

i like this song

Eric_ALSSCAN · 09-17-2008, 11:21 AM

Lupe is super talented, and while I won't read that entire interpretation of his song, it's pretty self explanatory that he is saying he won't sacrifice his message to be more commercially appealing.
And for the record, Lupe is not lyrically superior to Lil' Wayne; however, Lil' Wayne has lost much of my respect for going the commercial route and making garbage like Milli and Lolli-pop.

09-17-2008, 11:37 AM

I'm not too into hip hop, but Lupe is one of the few lyricists that I enjoy listening to on a regular basis. He's fairly positive, his flow is always in the pocket, and he's a master of duality.

Check out Cage, he has a song about his experiences in the Stony Lodge psychiatric hospital. :
