It's pretty upsetting that most Of Lupe's work is missing from so many platforms. Songs like this, Mazinger, Fire, Atomic Misphilosophy, etc. So much gold, just lost to modern day streamers.
@@7sixesssssI’ve downloaded the shit for free. I remember years ago he tweeted he’s done this for a reason. Has more free shit than anything else he has.
Man 2011 was insane. Lasers came out after literally getting Anon to blackmail Atlantic. Then we get Friend of the People in the fall like this! I remember playing the mixtape nonstop during my sophomore year. This track is still one of my favorites nearly 13 years later
" Funny how im only sick, if you never catch a thing" Gotta say im guilty of that. one of the main reasons why lupe is in my top 3 is the way he can make me think and LEARN.
"my only promise is I'll never ruin the young" this is why I love Lupe. He isn't polluting the youths minds with negativity like 98% of rappers nowadays.
Why he so rebellious? 🙄 Upfront wit his realness 💯 They wannabe Fiascos 🥱😏 Reproduce his failures! 👀 My only promise is that I’ll never ruin the young! It’s March 2021 and I’m still bumpin this 🔥! And Lu still one of the best and the realest! #Lu #GOAT #FNF
This song is ingenious. The lyrics are so amazing. Bassnectar, Ellie Goulding, and Lupe turned out to be such a great combination. Great vocals, great beats, great lyrics. If one takes the time to analyze his lyrics, it's simply amazing. Emotionally riveting...."Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies"
Sitting at the docs rn and the original Ellie Goulding came on, and instantly brought me back here... With everything going on its easy to lose your way, just make sure you get back right...
I'm gonna stand up for what is right! Been a soldier since birth, a lot of temptations had tried to keep me down, though I'd over came. Lupe Fiasco, I pray to meet you one of these days.
Why he so rebellious? Up-front with his realness? They wanna be fiascoes, reproduce his failures Emperor is his alias, but not Marcus Aurelius This is more like Sparta: kick you down a well, kid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dad made me a soldier, GI Joe to these Cobras Tryna FBI my Panther, CIA my Sankofa Infiltrate my Carter, illuminate my culture STILL GIVES ME CHILLS IN 2024
"I and I 2 new Vans on a land for,Take that back,make that 2 new shoes on the van floor,Me and my band out on that road,On a never-back-down-from-a-stance tour,TOUCHED MORE SOLES(SOULS)THN A DANCE FLOOR,While they touch less floors than a hand or Ceiling fan or wait,let me tell u slower Lift my fans up 2 the ceilin,n ull never touch the floor,Now if Noah need a rower,I'll be there with my oar,Til we get back to the shore,Dad made me a soldier,GI Joe to these Cobras" Wordplay and Metaphors WOW.
this honestly has everything i was looking for in a good song, catchy beat, a little electro,girl with a sweet voice, and lupe with his style and swag.
I can say that although rap/hip-hop is not what I really listen to anymore, this is potentially one of my favorite songs in any genre released this year.
this is why lupe fiasco is my fav rapper because he is true hip-hop what other rapper can rap over a dub-step beat and yet speak such a deep message lupe is the evolution of rap #LASERS#
It's the first single off of his mixtape "Friend of the people" coming out on thanksgiving day, make sure you get it and spread the word. Lupe Fiasco is the only artist who truly makes music for the people, not the pay.
this track needs to be in the 10’s of millions at least!...bout time that people started giving him his props!! Good music is still rockin…. check the group "INRG MUSIC - FEELIN’ IT" for some refreshing vibes
Put both ears in, blocked out my maths teacher's explanations, blocked out the clasroom noises, payed attention to what lupe wants us to listen to... gave me the chills
I honestly believe this is the best song he's put out, regardless of it being on a mixtape. The lyrics say so much, incredible. One of the few mainstream artists to have legit talent.
![The Pixies - Where Is My Mind (Bassnectar Remix) [Knic Knac Edit]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JZ9yVmexa8A/mqdefault.jpg)
4/9/23 - I can’t find this anywhere but on YT. Used to play this all the time!! Epic track.
for some reason this version is found nowhere else. it sucks
It's pretty upsetting that most Of Lupe's work is missing from so many platforms. Songs like this, Mazinger, Fire, Atomic Misphilosophy, etc. So much gold, just lost to modern day streamers.
Glad we can at least find some of that stuff on the tube.
Yeah it’s unfortunate… buts it’s mostly because of the rights he has to those songs. All of those are either mixtape tracks or unreleased
Man i am so mad none of those tracks are on Spotify or tidal
@@7sixesssssI’ve downloaded the shit for free. I remember years ago he tweeted he’s done this for a reason. Has more free shit than anything else he has.
Reason for that the industry gate keepers black balled him.
For me, this is the original version of this song 💖
Same. I didn't even know about the original until years after this came out.

manafloodin Argue with your friends over what really the record.
one of the most beautiful parts of listening to lupe is unpacking something you missed years later...
One of my favorite lines in hip hop history
@TheBunBun54321 same my man
And that’s why you don’t hear him anymore …
He didn't have to go this hard wow Lupe has always been the GOAT.
still slapping this classic 10 year later
This song still bangs in 2021, Lupe forever
Lupe Forever!!!!
2022
Damn straight
FACTS!!!
Banging in 2022
touched more souls (soles) than a dance floor..
Damn..
Tight!!! :)
meh
@@mrcrackdonald_1 wtf do you mean "meh"
@@agfromdai.e3806Meh means mid
2021. WHY IS THIS SONG NOT ON ANY PLATFORMS?!
"my only promise is I'll never ruin the young" this is why I love Lupe. He isn't polluting the youths minds with negativity like 98% of rappers nowadays.
This aged like fine wine
@@tylerblake4028 why? care to explain
Then he sold out for the vax
"They want to be Fiascos; reproduce his Failures..."
If you are a Lupe fan, you know what he just referenced: one of his greatest pieces.
Facts, Failure a classic
A fiasco is a failure also 🔥
His first MURAL!!!!!
Why he so rebellious? 🙄
Upfront wit his realness 💯
They wannabe Fiascos 🥱😏
Reproduce his failures! 👀
My only promise is that I’ll never ruin the young!
It’s March 2021 and I’m still bumpin this 🔥! And Lu still one of the best and the realest! #Lu #GOAT #FNF

Lu and anything is a great combo!
Bout to set this off in someone's UA-cam recommended videos
Welcome back 2020 x
Yes yes
“SO, what are you going to stand for?”
One of my favorite opening bars of all time
Lupe is a legend bro
Now I know that’s contradiction, wants and needs and competition. But it’s hard to stay on point with such extremes in opposition - genius line
One of the best songs ever.
It’s a crime this video only has 1.1 views
Absolutely one of my favorites of all time
Sitting at the docs rn and the original Ellie Goulding came on, and instantly brought me back here... With everything going on its easy to lose your way, just make sure you get back right...
True
I love how everyone here actually listens to the lyrics and actually interprets them
Still bangs in 2024!
1000000000x better than the original !
What you mean by original? This version is technically a remix of a remix
2024 still bumpin'
This is the best version of the song🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I thank Lupe for bringing me to Ellie.He is like the best rapper ever!
This should've been an album.
Greatness
This song is amplifying currents of positive vibrations through me. can you feel that ?
I need to see Lupe live
i did in 2013 in nyc, kid cudi opened. it was GLORIOUS!!!
2020 still here. My only promise is I’ll never ruin the youth. -Lupe Fiasco
I wish he would make more music like this... soooooooooooo good, still listening in 2018
The track he just dropped, Apologetic reminded me of this.
I'm gonna stand up for what is right!
Been a soldier since birth, a lot of temptations had tried to keep me down, though I'd over came.
Lupe Fiasco, I pray to meet you one of these days.
Why he so rebellious? Up-front with his realness?
They wanna be fiascoes, reproduce his failures
Emperor is his alias, but not Marcus Aurelius
This is more like Sparta: kick you down a well, kid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My only promise is that I will never ruin the young
I love this line. It’s the reason why this song sticks with me and I always try to live by this message.
May 2020 I’m still yerking off to this song who with me???
Still in 2021
Who’s still bumping this in 2021?!

This is exactly why I love Lupe...he isn't afraid to think out of the box and jump on a beat like this..some futuristic shiz for real...LONG LIVE LUPE

Amen
I love it. But his most over-rated track . Still love him though 🤗

I used to listen to this song 1st semester at a university wow
Adrenaline4P Same! Brings back so much memories while walking down the halls and doing work on the computer.
I can say that although rap/hip-hop is not what I really listen to anymore, this is potentially one of my favorite songs in any genre released this year.
Lupe is so clever.
P.S. new gang alert.... HASHTAG OCCUPY
This brings up memories.
This song gives just the juice I need for covid-19
2021 and I still need to hear this.

It's 2020 bud, catch up
this track is sick! the bass stays in your head for hours after you finished listening to it and Lupe's flow is really good.

Lu is going way over people's heads with his lyrics and beat selection
lupe needs to drop an album with music like this :)

Never thought I'd see a Lupe & Ellie Goulding collab, but this truly is a match made in heaven
2019 still 🔥
this is why lupe fiasco is my fav rapper because he is true hip-hop what other rapper can rap over a dub-step beat and yet speak such a deep message lupe is the evolution of rap #LASERS#
“Funny how I’m only sick (as a lyricist), if you never catch a thing”
"Funny how I'm only sick if you never catch a thing" Might be one of the best lines I have ever heard...FNF baby!
allow me...
Da Exam
Farenheit 1/15 vol.1-3
It was written
Lupe The Jedi
Enemy of the State
Friend of the people
You're welcome
where can I download these mixtapes?
“Revenge Of The Nerds” #Reveeenge
Friend Of The People going to be crazy followed by Food & Liquor 2 The Great American Rap Album. Lupe keep spitting that truth.
Lift my fans up to the ceiling, and you'll never touch the floor/flow, woah, now if Noah need a rower I'll be there
Your absence of presence has affected us all. Hopefully you will remain with us longer this time. Welcome back Mr. Hip Hop.
funny how i'm only sick if you never catch a thing.... story of lupe's career
It's the first single off of his mixtape "Friend of the people" coming out on thanksgiving day, make sure you get it and spread the word. Lupe Fiasco is the only artist who truly makes music for the people, not the pay.
this song infiltrated my genome
on a molecular level !
Facts
This man is LEGEND!💯🔥💯🔥
this track needs to be in the 10’s of millions at least!...bout time that people started giving him his props!! Good music is still rockin…. check the group "INRG MUSIC - FEELIN’ IT" for some refreshing vibes
deep lyrics, awesome beat and melody, talented rapper and singer! lupe and ellie ftw
"And on my last check i copped that NSX, just like Pharell did."
Lupe did his thing again like always, and i catched it again, and will do it so everytime. Bigup Lupe Fiasco, one of the greatest lyricist alive :D
They wanna be Fiasco's, reproduce his failures
B-Mint1994 Was that a reference to his song Failure?
Wyatt Yip Yeah, but that line has other interpretations as well. Just one of things I love about Lupe's lyricism.
B-Mint1994 Nice. Failure is prob my fav Lupe song next to Paper Cup.
I always thought it said reproduced as failures
Plus, in spanish the word "fiasco" means something like an abrupt failure
Put both ears in, blocked out my maths teacher's explanations, blocked out the clasroom noises, payed attention to what lupe wants us to listen to... gave me the chills
🔥🔥🔥
Still here in 2024
Just got put on this in 2018 and it's 💯% 🔥
Lupe just ripped this song apart....FIRE!!!
I honestly believe this is the best song he's put out, regardless of it being on a mixtape. The lyrics say so much, incredible. One of the few mainstream artists to have legit talent.
Who’s listening to this in May 2019 ???
Been doing a research paper on marijuana for like 3 hours.
