    ? 's boring. I think Lupe's real talented, but it is what it is. I'd skip this track when it came on.

    U ? reaching. That first thought I had on this song was Lupe was sarcastically sounding lazy on this song because he is mocking the current mainstream "lazy" flow that rappers like Ross,Wayne,etc use. That's the current cool way to rap, and also check out Lupe "flow". Lupe is trying to appeal to the young teenies.

    Overall the song is cool, I ? with it. Also the ending is dope. Song sounds like something that will grow on you.


    Co-sign. Concept went over there heads.

    I like this. Could end on the album. It's way better than majority of LASERS tracks.

    One of the best beats he has spit over. Like others have said, the delivery was kind of lacking. When he sped up the pace I was feeling it. But overall, I think the message and the lyrics outshine the negative of the song. I ? wit it.

    I just couldnt decide if he was trying to be boring on purpose as a sort of commentary to the type of music he was talking about

    or was he just plain ol boring

    It's obvious this song went over alot of ya heads. The beat and the flow of this song is mockery of todays hit songs and he's talkin about how alot of kids grow up sayin ? and how whenever kids hear adults say it, they figure it's not a "bad word". So since it's not a "bad word", the kids just say it without knowin it's true meaning. What ya mean lupe fell off? He's always made songs like this.

    when it comes to defend wack ? , people always resort to that "it went over ? heads" excuse....anyone with half a brain could tell you what the song is about and the message the nerd is trying to convey, but this new ? is weak and poorly executed...this dude been on a cold streak once he dropped that Lasers abomination

    I honestly don't see how the flow is a mockery of today'? songs. Today's hot rappers like 2Chainz, Ross, Meek, Wayne, etc. don't flow like how Lupe was flowing on this track.

    Dumb It Down (or the title tracks of Stakes Is High by De La Soul and GSNT by Saigon) is a much better example of making a mockery of a certain era of Hip-Hop imo. I respect the content though.

    Needless to say i'm still looking forward to The Great American Rap Album. This song makes Freedom Ain't Free sound so much better, lol.

    ...remember when Disgusting by J. Cole dropped like a year and a half ago, and that song caught some heat on here, and ppl was saying that Disgusting was mocking the current state of Hip-Hop, lol.
