Still one of my favorite Lupe songs ever. Joint was so left field in the way it was delivered, yet it still managed to convey a message.

danm that Visual video makes it even better and more impressive -
When you shoot for the stars, sometimes your gun'll jam
I ain't been to Summer Jam
I learned from Lupe: when you dumb it down its just harder to understand - Budden
Classic track -
No beef fam just stating my opinion if you like him its cool Chris Tucker told me to never touch a black man radio that was a deep line
-
haha , i just watched rush hour for the first time in about 10 years, that ? had me rofl. Top 10 comedy.
-
dope, member when Lupe had next? Cool was the last album i listened to.
-
A classic. He took his frustrations and made a dope record out of it.
Too bad he let the labels win. -
Dope song. Too bad he ended up dumbing it down later on in his career to "get his message across."

Remember when yall was checking out for Kendrick's Lamar version in 2012?

My favorite rapper that came out in the past decade. This is just flat out genius

"...She's fine and she's flying, I feel I'm flying by em
Cause my mind's on cloud nine and in a mine at the same time
Pimps see the wings on the Underground King
Who's also Klingon, to infinity and beyond
Something really stinks, but I Sphinx like Leon
Or lying/lion in the desert
I'm flying on Pegasus, you're flying on the pheasant
Writer of the white powder, picker of the fire flowers
Spit, "hot fiya" like Dylan on Chappelle's skit..." -
That lyricism is unrivaled.
-
My ? Lupe was heading towards goat status.
I got faith he'll get back -
Lupe is a representation of the African thought and mind. The Euro Jews wanted him to sound like a ? , because black people in America are so out of tune and disoriented they can't tell left from right north from south, mind from ass, ? from sky. Getting oriented to the cosmos will get your mind right.
