this is the difference between Lupe and J.Cole, after J.cole spits a dope line you're like "damn! that nigga crazy!!" but when Lupe drops a dope like its like "*google search/dictionary*......damn! that nigga crazy!"

That's a good point

"how u 'gon back out, thers no back doors, like porsche" that was ill

If you aren't re-evaluating every metaphor/simile you are guaranteed to miss something which equal pure genius!!!!

nas and lupe is all you need on your hip hop playlist

This guy goes over too many peoples heads, uncrownded king no doubt. i been bumpin his shit for 2 years and im still only figuring out some of his lyrics now. 2 years later. crazy shit

greatest rapper EVER!!!!!!!!!

"The baller with the goggles like Kareem"

i honestly cant choose between jcole and lupes freestyle they both go crazy!!

@TopFlyteMusic - To both of you, the line before "Act like denzel....." he says, "the tech and things hidden in the floor" so the Tech in the floor, they tappin on the floor, hopes they like the sound of hollow, he has more. The floor is hollow where he has things hidden as well, you have to dig it out.

i blacked out like DOS...(MS DOS) WOW

@swaggerboy39 well hollow tips are used to suppress the sound of gunfire so he says hope you like the sound of hollow...well how can you like the sound if they are meant to silence the sound.

This is lyrical dominance

@airknightk hes talkin bout casino and mobster theme, pachino is usually in a lot of mobster movies, godfather, scarface, heat. but in the movie casino he wasnt in it and it was a huge mobster movie. so thats why hes like only thing missin is pachino man

Or course, it's the Boss, Tony Danza of Stanza Springsteen of sixteens... Sick ass lyrics. unbelievable.

He shouted me out!

😂 DOPE!

@converseshoeboy Lupe. No contest. This man said "I fly dope, pocket full of J-F-K's". Dope=drugs. JFKS=Half Dollar (his pic was on this coin). So basically he flies with a bunch of quarters aka drugs. Cmon man.

whoevers on it no doubt this is one of the best beats in hip hop history

lupe goes 2 hard he said find me covered in ice like encino man!

Still good af

They're all legends in there own regard.

i like this one! lupe killed it!

Can't decide whose version i like the best. this beat's been used sooo many times

tight. thanks

im liking j cole though, he's got the potential to really bring hip hop back to the younger generations

nah iw ud disagree brav, cole's lyrics doesnt surpass lupe's, just think of songs like 'He say she say', 'Little Weapon', 'Hurt Me soul' 'Intruder alert', streets on fire' 'american terrorist 1 nd 3' 'conflict diamonds' 'fighters' 'bmf' 'The end of the world' , 'kick push' 'street stories' nd every song in food nd liquar 1 nd 2 just to name a few, seriesly, lyrically Lupe's is just da UNTOUCHABLE!! (just my opion brav)

Cudder i love the man drugs or not he is just ill but some people cant understand it and they just leave on his own witch is what you should do if you dont agree or understand. i dont understand some of it but i do most and you could get touched deep. besides he will chill out once he gets all this new found glory through and through and the partying he could go serious places on top of what he already has in my views.

@ccspence8 Now it's L.A.S.E.R.S., which I believe is supposed to be "The Great American Rap Album" using it as a title which would be fitting unlike Waynes' "Greatest Rapper Alive". And LupEND is either the next of one of two albums or it's been scrapped.

if its not off the top of the dome then its not a freestyle, its a cypher. a cypher is a pre-written song/ verse done on the spot. a freestyle is not thought up before hand but improvised as the beat goes on.

exactly

Pipe is a beast

Lupe should do a shook ones freestyle.

🔥🔥🔥

Chi Town stand up

@afroaaron555 Yea but the old lyrical lupe is coming back when he releases FOTP and Food & liquor 2.

this is...a freestyle

reasonable doubt > lupe fiasco

@projectmayhem79 you're right. when i first heard dead presidents though I simply thought Nas wanted to make a song over the beat and so he used it. i blame youtube lol.

@jaykiddfly1 I don't think hollow tips suppress the sound of gunfire, you're thinking silencers. Hollow tips are made to inflict more damage. But I'm really not sure what his metaphor means though haha

I know that, read properly lol.. i was talking about the first part to that rhyme.. i black out like DOS, how u gone back out theres no back doors like Porsche

HHHHHHHHHHEAT!!!!!

@converseshoeboy lol btw I meant to say he flies with a bunch of "mini" quarters since half-dollars can be denominated into quarters. And the other meaning is obviously him flying with lots of money (JFKs aka dead presidents But you prob knew that) lol

a lot of lupe's music is off the dome. He freestyles and by the end of the recording he does a couple of corrections

@ccspence8 Agreed.

@Ant718100 I can't wait for the mix tape and album, but @afroaaron555 don't forget that Lupe didn't change; Lasers was Atlantic's album and Food & Liquor 2 should be Lupe's official third album

"Paper on the waist like Henry" did anyone catch that...I honestly think his talking about the gun made by Henry Derringer

@AlmightyIn5vne that would be mad DOPE! would be neat to see him jump on a HI-Tek or Madlib Beat

bro lupe uses chamillionaires version as a doormat...

haha yea...

its no doubt this instrumental makes any rapper sound good...point blank.

DOS...like the DOS system on a computer, its a black screen.

The Future of Hip Hop. 1. Lupe Fiasco 2. J Cole 3. Kid Cudi 4. Big Sean 5. Jay Electronica 6. Kanye West 7. B.o.B. 8. Wale 9. Jay Rock 10. Wiz Khalifa not a specific order other than lupe number one.

Whats the name of this beat? who sings to it normally? Awesome song! lupe killin it like always

@TJC859 theres no nas song called dead presidents.its a line off of nas' THE WORLD IS YOURS joint

DOS as in ms-dos. Windows command prompt ? black screen ? lol

@afroaaron555 dont worry that wasnt lupe fiasco at ALL look into food and liquor 2

@Gremlin212332 but the pachino part?

im guessing pachino played the part of the caveman

@TJC859 hahaa cool

Why is there so many remixes to this do they have one for every president of the U.S

hey isnt ns in the back ground or something?

j cole got off but lupe murder this shit period.

@Klaffveinz u probly listen to lil wayne and such..

@Gho57ayame jay z got that from nas thought check nas's song.......the world is yours, pretty beast song

@redrover3456 it was actually a saple from the world is yours nas

@ccspence8 LOL at *facepalm*... nice.

@Grayedoutmix Jay Z - Dead Presidents

@lesh21

@tr41nr3ck j cole merked WHO?

@Grayedoutmix xD WOW U RLY DNT KNO! JAY-Z! xD!!!!

@KeenOnTaka Yeah Over Their Heads Bro I tried Im In New orleans trying So You Know They Won't Listen But Some Things Are better Kept Secret Know What I mean.... The Bible Says Seek And You Shall Find It's Deep Bro.

ment to say opinion :p

@Sp33dyMik3 I said that lol Look at the last sentence I wrote.

@ccspence8 Why were you being so rude to the people who didn't know the original song?

actually, you can't prove that at all lol. but i cant prove its written. so i guess shits pretty chill

@JColeM7785 dont shit on j cole just cus u like lupe. lupe and j cole are both problems and both should be recognized more

for the freestyle questions and shit: nah, this probably aint a freestyle and a cypher is a group (a circle) of MC's spitting in freestyle. Sure, some bring prewritten. But being a freestyler, i understand not all these youtube videos saying "Freestyle" are freestyle. I mean, lil wayne says he freestyles everything...please ahahaaha. Never the less, this is SICK. and it prolly is a verse mixed with some off the top. But no freestyle is rehearsed. or its NOT a freestyle. word. GO NAS! pz

@stupidswag96 everyone that has smashed this beat ( except Drake)

@Grayedoutmix jay z dead presidents!!!

i hope you like the sound of hallow i got more...i bet this line flew over mad niggas heads....think about it. Lupe is too bright!

@1phreshprince1 it doesnt

Cole best rapper of all time? you are fucking bugging my guy. cole is nowhere near that. He isn't even better than artists like Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Biggie, 'Pac, GZA, Ghostface, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Mos Def, Q-tip, Talib Kweli, Common, Black Thought, Pharaohe Monch among others

word brotha. thats the key in hip hop. everyone can say they freestyle, thats the only way i make my songs cause when i write and tyr to spit it, it sounds wierd and forced. but freeing is ILL. also, you get goofy lines like "Hose me, i'm a dick who drinks Sobe" random ass shit hahaha
