      Problem is, no one says nigga a million times and Lupe's beats are utter wack.

    • @Punjabispitta
      @Punjabispitta 10 років тому +2

      True. He's good at controlling himself though. Like on his early mixtapes coming up, he would use the word nigga a good amount of times. Then in Lasers (even though it was forced), I'm pretty sure he didn't use the word once.

    • @pieroscaruffi7429
      @pieroscaruffi7429 10 років тому +4

      Harnoor Singh I think he said nigga in The Show Goes On, but that's it. Then again, saying "nigga" a million times doesn't make you a bad rapper.

      Actually I do listen to underground.such as Felly, phora, and immortal technique and many more. But I was referring to mainstream. Also learn how to read because I said "Lupe is ONE OF THE FEW rappers that still has meaning". So calm down hard assess

    Wisdom, lyrics and flow that's hard to see, and "warmth in his vocals". World needs more of this. Shout out to the old schoolers. To those that remember when we more appreciated each other, instead of assuming and harboring negativity towards one another, and grew up in one of the best times in American history.

      he's not really underrated, he's simply under-advertized. his overall message of knowledge, positivity, self reflection, questioning authority, caring about the younger generation, etc. is not something that those controlling the music industry want to be heard by everyone. they can't have everyone questioning the nonsense they are told to believe every day without eventually encountering some problems.

      Tyler Durden He has 50,000,000 views here on UA-cam, so no. For that amount of people to know his name, he is not under advertised nor under known, he is underrated because no one considers him to be one of the best if not *the* best of all time.

  • @dariuswhite7484
    @dariuswhite7484 10 років тому +3

    This is not Lupe Fiasco selling out but rather Lupe giving a contrast of the newer generations morals vs older generation morals. The idea that they could leave their doors unlocked, trust, faith, and loyalty meant more to a generation that could rely on someone to come through. 1960s is old school love because the Black body came together against anti-black violence, anti-imperialist protests against Vietnam, and even the stuff I said above. Give me that old school love right now...

    Lupe Fiasco one of the best lyrical rappers/ rappers period of all time. Extremely underrated. He's just not as big cuz he's not a industry puppet like Drake. Lupe Fiasco a real hip hop legend.

    One of the realest rappers out there today, i have much much respect for lupe, he doesn't rap about sex,drugs,etc. He's down to the point and talks about stuff that you can relate to, and stuff you can understand, he's honestly kind of inspiring, there's not many rappers like him

    This is diffidently "Old-School Kanye" inspired.. I thought I'd never hear that sound again... This is hands down my favorite song of the year... This songs gives the same feeling as when I first herd Ye's "Late Registration", "College Dropout" or "Graduation"... Thank you Lupe, you obviously get it ...... It's hard times for a lot of good people out there...We need more inspiration music...

    • @221ddj
      @221ddj 11 років тому

      People give Ye way too much credit. He's a talented producer. his lyrical skill takes a few steps down from that and then his personality nose dives from there. I've never heard Lu sound anything remotely close to Kanye. That's pretty much a diss to Lu. I know you didn't mean it that way, but Ye is super over rated. Lupe is legitimately in the Legends conversation, Kanye is in the legendary producer conversation...as a rapper though, he's aight.

    • @christophersheppard9825
      @christophersheppard9825 11 років тому

      This.is.all based on a opinion my friend.... Your speaking to a die-hard fan of Kanye.... I love Lupe, but non of his albums could ever be compared to any Kanye album before Yezzus... Not to mention, I bet 80% of Lupe fans didn't know who he was before "Touch The Sky"... Kanye is terrible with lyrical content now...However, with the exception of "Yeezus"- Kanye solo album has always changed the sound of Hip-hop during its time of release...
      ...Kanye has inspired an entire generation of Hip-hop...Think about it , whos on top? Drake & Kendrick, right?... Drake said that "Ye is his.biggest inspiration, musically." And Kendrick.thinks Kanye is.the leading innovator for future artists...Kanye is'nt overrated, hes just falling off..... take time and go back and listen to "college dropout" or "graduation"... the lyrical content from his first 5 albums are great.... Have you never heard "All falls down"?

    • @221ddj
      @221ddj 11 років тому

      Chris Sheppard I respect your opinion, however I'm a die hard hip hop fan...Kanye isn't the one who brought a focus on Lyricism back to Hip hop (however brief). Drake is an OK rapper, Kendrick Lamar is good but highly over rated. But that's my opinion...the masses thought 50 Cent was lyrical 10 years ago. Lil Wayne was the top Dog 7 years ago. Kanye has been highly regarded by the masses since 2004. The masses aren't good judges of Hip Hop music, they are great judges of pop music. In which case, those 3 guys are legends.
      As far as Lupe before Touch the Sky, he was putting out mixtapes that became the reason he is considered by cats in the know to be among the greatest to do it. And unless you know the history of HOW he got on Touch the Sky, as in "why Kanye asked him to be on it" then this is not a real hip hop conversation.
      Kanye has great production, great song structure and all of his albums pre-Yezus sounded great sonically. Lyrically, he's never been a top tier guy. Lupe has questionable beat selection and with the exception of Lasers can't arrange an album to flow sonically, but when it comes to the bars, he is easily the best dude doing it right now on a mainstream level. I don't know every underground act to say he's the best period, but Kanye isn't winning lyricist of the year ever.

    This song is tight. It is in line with his "Superstar" tracks etc.. Hip Hop needs hits, that is not full of getting fucked up, or having more $$$ then the next guy, or dissing others. There is plenty of room on any given album to put that crap out there. Honestly, this is what I love about Hip Hop, time spent on smooth beats, positive messages are a bonus... Rap/Hip Hop and Rock (and Roll) are a good marriage, this song goes further to prove that. Haters gonna hate!
