i really liked the song/video it was very creative, u know when i first herd it i thought of “strange fruit”,(a song aout slavery and lynching sung by billie holliday)maybe thats b/c they both seem to be jazz songs lol
I love this song and Lupe is soooo cute. I like the video it is so refreshing to not see ugly half naked women dancing around like a chicken with its head cut off. Good work Lupe!!
Lupe is definately gonna be the next Jay-Z.. HE is a wordsmith.. I hope his success continues because I cant stop listening to his Farenheit 1st ad 15th mixtapes.. Cant wait for the album.. Plus I blew this out my ipod when i first heard it.. I thought his next single would be I gotcha since he didnt even post this song on his myspace…I have a feeling his record label is trying to ruin him by leaking too many songs at once…Oh well.. If that happens there is Def Jam which he will blow up on..
Love Jill, I’ve always been a fan of hers. Lupe is a rapper that actually has something to say, I like his music, too. And it is refreshing to not see the booty shaking hoochies grindin’ their asses in the camera.
great song, great video. love jill- so anything her voice graces will be fire. lupe has a bright future if he keeps his original style up and doesn’t go mainstream…
and i’m with caff if they push it back i’ma go ballistic on somebody
Nice, innovative video that goes beyond the usual sittin’ on chrome, grillz, pushin’ weight, 40 pounds of ice hanging’ from the neck, video hoes with bangin’ bodies, etcetera, etcetera. Everybody won’t get it though, especially the ones that have become accustomed to the usual bland video scenarios. Innovative lyrics too. I likee…Do it Lupe and Jill!
#1 Hit!!!! I Really like Lupe Fiasco, it seems as if he has a positive insight on life and uses the negative in a more appropriate manner. There should be a whole lot more rappers that should follow that path Lupe’s going. I’m sick of all these so call gangsters putting down women and using killing and weapons in order to stay cool and sell records. Lupe is honest but he knows what how to put his lyrics together by using what he’s got..his brain and making it sound good for EVERYBODY. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. Oh and LOVE Jill Scott (enough said lol).
mann i’ve been listening to this song non-stop for the last 2 weeks! great video. i luv lupe. he’s fresh. and the chorus - gotta hand it to jill scott. i think there was someone in this post that said that jill makes the chorus sound soulful, and its true, she does.
^Because she’s real music. She has it all….why not? Jill reminds me of Billie Holiday in this song so much. I really like the chorus…. the whole song sounds really good
I wonder if I am reading too much into the robot thing. But I think that the robot is symbolic of how controlled rappers are by what the industry and streets expect of them. That was based on the lyrics. Can’t wait until the album comes out. Loved the video.
(#7)Yeah, it does have a strange fruit sorta vibe to it…but I really like this song…it’s definitely a breath of fresh air from what’s became the norm for rappers these days…
Love both artists and Im not surprised that this shit is fire!!! Im feeling Lupe Fiasco but all my homegirls arent…..this nigga is different and I love it!!!! Hes what the game has been missing….not Juelz
THE MOST ORIGINAL ive seen in a long time now this is old hip hop most of this stuff that is being putt out is WACK this is THE DEAL we need more artist like this
Lupe is sooooooooooooo talented. this nigga is creative and mature. much respect to him. ain’t kno rapper out like him. and jill is my gurl. love this joint
I absolutely love it. He is what the rap game is missing. He reminds me of rap artis like Mos Def, and Common. Hopefully when his album drops he will get the attention he deserves.
Lupe is from Chicago not Philly. He is a devout Muslim. If you read any of his interviews (he was in the Source 200 issue) or listen to his lyrics, you’ll know that he practices what he preaches. He will not go mainstream. He doesn’t drink or smoke and stays away from the “lifestyle” of the average rapper. In the Chi he always remixes songs from other rappers to actually make what they’re talking about make sense (most notably Kanye’s Jesus Walks and Diamonds) he killed it so much that it was rumored that Kanye was a bit upset. We are very proud of our nerdy Muslim in the Chi. GO LUPE!!!!!
i like the song even if i prefer the new “i got tcha” by the way does anyone know which brand is lupe’s red sweat in this video???? hit me back on my mail if you know thanks fresh_since85@hotmail.com(sorry for my english i’m french lol)
