When Yummy start singing i feel like my life being cleansed, bro I get goosebumps every time I listen to her through that outtro part and Lupe shouting out everyone. So good
@@chrism.nsarille2842 I still stand by that this guy is the best Lyricist of all time. This includes DOOM and others.... By the way I'm a huge DOOM fan. Is double entendre, storytelling and metaphors are just outrageous. By the way is czarface meets ghostface Killers coming out in February 🔥🔥🔥
uh So I get back into my stance, revert to my dance With a shirt full of pants And my accomplice got a purse full of pants A pocket full of purses, with no intent to purchase in the plans And we rehearsed it 'til it's perfect Just to dodge the searchers of the man Just to surface outside, then return all the merch to stay In the service of The Perfect, understand?
Rest In Peace to Trugoy the Dove, and blessings and love to Pos and Maseo… One Love to De La Soul. Thank you, Lupe, for blessing us back then. It hits different now. 🙏🏾💙
Now i get it i know lupe is more lyrically, but this is the style and vibe is miss, just so laidback.. it changed my life, and influenced me becoming a musician
This got so much play when it dropped. Lupe been an 👽 since day 1. Shouts to De La for the original beat and LTD’s Love Ballad for that sample, one of the greatest love songs ever for my $$
This song right here is when I first heard and I mean heard Lupe. I thought he was garbino until the fifth time I heard this at that year. And because of this song when I heard it Lupe you are who you are today... GREATEST MC EVER!!! NO HOMO JUST CHI LOVE AND REAL LIKE MAMMA SAID!!!
TightToDef People progress and change over the years. He made it out the hood and became a better person, instead of staying gangster and simple, he improved his techniques and became a black person, not a nigga.
Dowoaded this on LIMEWIRE, didnt knok the name of it but.. "Return to the ring like return of the king with the habit of a hobbit, it makes it hard to drop it"
I remember the winter was the coldest around this came out , I used to ride around with 5 dollars in my impala tryna sell dope. Somehow this resonated with the times
Life's a struggle, grimacing much more than I grin But I ain't given up it takes much more to win On my karma, deen, and zen much more than I sin The universe spins for much more than men I'm going on tour I need much more to spend Not money, but time, I need much more with friends Cheers to the good times and much more of them So much more in store, I'll play much more again.
@@blkjohnnybravo3506 I caught all that but he was rapping about shop lifting as well and I never heard someone make it sound this dope is all I’m saying
![Lupe Fiasco - Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]](/img/n.gif)
Here in 2024
It's almost 2024 and this still a slap. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We didnt deserve Lupe. He was CRAAAZY‼️😭😭🔥🔥🔥
Just found this jewel today. Nice Lupe track
CLASSIC
A slap? This song is much more :)
Greetings from 2024. It still slaps lol
"Bring my girl Yummy back", and did Yummy not go ham on that Chorus. Sheesh!!
Ham!
she went bonkers a lotta peeps don't understand she bled her heart
My Greatest Enemy Is My Inner Me. The realest thing I ever heard
he also gets his energy from his inner g.. or his inner g from his energy
Antoine Reels 5%er black Muslim knowledge
No bulshit I read this comment exactly when that line came up.
@@MetalFacedGamer really? No bullshit?
@@MetalFacedGamer nice fact there
Unroll your blunts, pour your champagne out. Dullers of the pain, so you can plainly see. The black man pain I campaign 'bout -Lupe Fiasco
Bruh that line lives rent free for me !😩🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
I remember I was bumping this and food and liquor back in high school. lupe a legend.
Yup same here
FACTS
Still do, 12 years later on my way for work
I was still in middle school but my older brothers would bump this. Good times
Damn. Lupe was at the absolute peak of his powers when this dropped! This mans run was CRAZYYYYY! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
still is
This is a classic!!!!
@@dvngnt it was different though lyrically you can argue he improved but he rapped better here !!
@@ayoa3892 I really can't say for sure. I can't really say he had a peak like blu. Zion, drogas, T&Y has some of his best material
@@dvngnt lyrically but sonically even you compare his first couple albums to his last couple and it’s not close really
One of if not the most underrated lyricist ever
Not underrated, underappreciated.
Glad he won a grammy! He continues to do great work!
@@MetalFacedGamer damn intelligent fact
I am from Philly and I think of Lupe as the Greatest Hip Hop Lyricist of All Time.
Overrated
When Yummy start singing i feel like my life being cleansed, bro I get goosebumps every time I listen to her through that outtro part and Lupe shouting out everyone. So good
Man this my joint here I felt the same way I came from the streets of Chicago and Chan he my life around this hit my soul
So true beautiful and refreshing 93 born still here in 2023!!
I feel the same man. Too good
Kai
Big facts
Lupe is one of the most underrated MC’s of all time
November 2020. Still one of Lu’s most masterful songs
I miss this lupe .
Well thank G°d we still have this
He never left.. just under appreciated through his tribulations. No problem... respect to this man.
@@chrism.nsarille2842 I still stand by that this guy is the best Lyricist of all time.
This includes DOOM and others.... By the way I'm a huge DOOM fan.
Is double entendre, storytelling and metaphors are just outrageous.
By the way is czarface meets ghostface Killers coming out in February 🔥🔥🔥
He's evolved. Listen to DW! He might be better now than he was when this dropped
I miss him being like this as well.
2024 FALL... STILL THIS VERSION OF LUPE HASN'T BEEN ECLIPSED LYRICALLY BY NOONE, EVEN HIMSELF.
The bars that starts, "So I get back into my stance.." is fucking epic
Ramone Frost fuck yeah mate.
Ramone Frost right lol he was on another planet.
"With no intent to purchase in the plans"
Goated 🐐
uh
So I get back into my stance, revert to my dance
With a shirt full of pants
And my accomplice got a purse full of pants
A pocket full of purses, with no intent to purchase in the plans
And we rehearsed it 'til it's perfect
Just to dodge the searchers of the man
Just to surface outside, then return all the merch to stay
In the service of The Perfect, understand?
@@RaKenobi sounds new every time I hear it
Rest In Peace to Trugoy the Dove, and blessings and love to Pos and Maseo… One Love to De La Soul.
Thank you, Lupe, for blessing us back then. It hits different now. 🙏🏾💙
2023…FnF! Still bumping this classic 🌊🙏🏽
"My greatest enemy is my inner me/enemy" favorite bar
GOAT LINE until this day 🔥
"Known to hit the track like John Henry". Damn!
You know that’s hard.

It’s 2023. This track still smokes
This gives me chills after listening to all the recent shit out there
The boxing references in this song. Omg. Lol. Still crazy in 2021
Bro we should be disappointed in ourselves that Lupe even felt unloved for any single moment
He did ? He said this ?
@@GetBucks305 yea said he wasn't appreciated as much as kdot and that
This was a great time for the geeks
For Nerds to get their revenge!!!
Who's here in 2021?? Yeah, I'm a REAL Lupe fan !!
2022 ! New year new $$
This track kicks ass while driving
This song touch my soul...
Now i get it i know lupe is more lyrically, but this is the style and vibe is miss, just so laidback.. it changed my life, and influenced me becoming a musician
Dog I’m here after listening to CLB. Good album I can’t front but this vibe right here, credit to J Dilla on the beat, idk if Drake can get me there
@@Evandro741 Bro this tape and my second tape are just in a class of their own
2022 & still bumpin!
Still amazing even though I heard it over a decade ago🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾glad I got to hear Lupe in my lifetime
