I love Lupe's music but his sound is changing and its really weird too. cant explain how i feel about it. at least we got new music kinda. who feels me though?
no luis i do NOT feel you. you want lupe to be like papoose and never grow and just keep making the same songs with the same sound over and over? thats wack
to anonymous: Nah i understand change is needed but sometimes that change can be bad. He sounds more like a southern rapper on this. im digging the song but the sound is just weird.
luis, i respect your opinion. but this is classic lupe. listen to some joints like the instrumental, the emperor's soundtrack. actually check out a track called, put you on game. he flows the exact same.
and how did you get southern rapper? if anything this sounds more like kanye or cudi.
Please Please Please LUPE. I love u and u are my favorite artist but please stop stating projects that never seem to come true. LupEND, The 3 disc album LupEND, CRS, The Great American Rap Album,The Chess club thing, The mixtape that was suppost to come out after Enemy of the State. Now this. Food and Liquor 2!? Agiain i love u and u are my favorite artist. But just stop stating projects that just leaves us disappointed.
luis, i respect your opinion. but this is classic lupe. listen to some joints like the instrumental, the emperor's soundtrack. actually check out a track called, put you on game. he flows the exact same.
and how did you get southern rapper? if anything this sounds more like kanye or cudi.
lololol luis prob fell asleep and never came back to reply while u stayed on trying to bait him into a flame war. lolol "listen to the emperor's soundtrack. actually check out a track called, put you on game."
as if he didnt already hear them? we are all obviously lupe stans u idiot.we know just as much as u do. and wait u said his flow and sound is the same and yet u said he wanted him to grow and be unlike papoose and not make the same sound. lol that took a lil bit to contradict urself. and cudi?really?dam u sir are a doofuss
WOW! Totally unexpected. Can't wait for F&L II. TO the anonymous before the last, Lupe only mentioned those project, and if he started them we wouldn't know because he didn't release any of the work. So, there's no need to be disappointed. This new music is coming straight from Lupe, and it's a solid project. So calm down dude.
(yawn) Thanks Feels good wakin up... get back... on my J.O. Oooh plus I still gotta go to work Its coo...
I wipe the coal/cool from my eye Stationed in Antartica, coldest nigga alive Flow is Armeggedon much like crows/Cruise from the Sky Before you drive you have to wipe locusts off your rides But I'm warming up, oceans is on the rise I be Ocean with 11 associates on my side Colder than Chris Martin guitarin'- would you look at all these 'Spies'? But they can't see me, I took out their eyes/I's Replace with some me's, so all they see is he's But I will never run, not even if they cry See I can never fall, not even down their cheek But I will always ball/bawl,let's see who the first to blink And I dont need no passwords cause I dont need to cheat But you can say your last words and you can rest in peace I'm the hook after your last verse I'm also like the beat But I will turn it down so you can go to sleep

Now, you can go to sleep Yes you can go to sleep Now you can go to sleep Now you can go to sleep Good night, good night Good night, good night Official niggas on they job and you know we gonna ball Real niggas poppin off, phony niggas not at all
Colder than Chris Martin guitarin'- would you look at all these 'Spies'? But they can't see me, I took out their eyes/I's Replace with some me's, so all they see is he's
i'm wondering if there's some spelling wordplay in there like he used to do. along the lines of "if you drop a 't' and look at it in reverse it can hurt". also the Spies reference?
YO this is tough i think what he meant by this "I took out their eyes/I's Replace with some me's, so all they see is he's But I will never run, not even if they cry See I can never fall, not even down their cheek But I will always ball/bawl,let's see who the first to blink" is all you see is him cuz he's doing his thing and he'll never leave ur sights cuz he's balling he wont even leave if ur crying or something. what ya think?
as if he didnt already hear them? we are all obviously lupe stans u idiot.we know just as much as u do. and wait u said his flow and sound is the same and yet u said he wanted him to grow and be unlike papoose and not make the same sound. lol that took a lil bit to contradict urself. and cudi?really?dam u sir are a doofuss ------------------------------ you are the doofuss he didn't say that about papoose i did, 2 different people -_-
Atlantic is full of shit. Lasers is coming? They have to have a timeline and an idea about what is coming out and when. They need to give the fans some info already.
Lupe is better than Nas lyrically. I'm a Nas fan, but he's not touching Lupe lyrically. No one in the game is. And, Nas did influence Lupe, but you can't say without Nas there would be no Lupe.
The song is alright. The beat well ridden, and a catchy chorus, something I've been waiting from Lupe since The Cool. However, it doesn't sound like the old F&L Lupe, neither flow-wise nor lyrics-wise; therefore, for this to be a snippet of a sequel (classic) album, it doesn't do it justice.
Most of Lupe's lyrics are getting repetitive. The "eye(I)"-like entendres and the popular culture references are becoming his trademarks; and that's not good.
Lol @ the comments.
Lol @ at the dude that responded to 4ziATiC without even knowing what SMH means (and more importantly, he responded he didn't know when he clearly could have just looked it up).
Lol @ datkid1220 saying all these comments make him laugh, and then failing by getting worked up by the same troll commenters.
Damn Lupe can't win. People hate on the sound of Lasers because it's different, and they want the Food and Liquor Lupe, and then when he drops some F&L 2 material he's not the same and he sounds repetitive.
and to those talking about keeping the same style vs. switching up: I don't care if he makes a new sound or keeps his old style, what really matters is the quality of the material. To me, Lupe's quality that he brings is lyricism, and I'm not too sure that the new stuff is up to the same level as it used to be. Other than Past My Shades, he hasn't been at the level where lines go over your head as much as he used to. I think "Go to Sleep" is better than most of his recent songs, but the general trend seems to be a bit less lyrical and like Lawfer said, repetitive.
I think he dumbed down Lasers so people can really get the message he is pushing. I'm sure he will get back to the deep lyricism on F&L 2. Or, maybe not? Either way Lupe makes good positive music and I will continue to listen. I hear what your are saying about pop culture references, but dude is so clever the way he drops them. The word play is genius.
Lol @ the guy that thought "Go To Sleep" was from Lasers and was still arguing it was from Lasers when Lupe & Busy said it's from F&L II. (I see you Prince!)
Also, with my earlier comment, my intention wasn't to undermine Lupe's abilities. The problem is that Lupe, being the type of rapper he is (the one that doesn't want to make songs without a meaning/message/purpose), has found it extremely difficult to produce music in these times, because there's really not much else to talk about. One of the few reason he thought about retiring....
I believe, this F&L II project will help him find other dense topics (like he did at the beginning of his career) that will enable him to fully utilize his lyrical ability to be able to extend to us that message he so vehemently wants to convey in his music... positivity.
Even if he's not at F&L capacity (as of this Snippet, of course), he is still lyrically superior to almost every rapper alive; if that makes you feel better, that is...
the beat is sick. he has more wordplay in one snippet then most have in awhole song let alone a cd but the flow is alittle idk.Overall it sounds like its gonna be a nasty song. By the way i think the flow is slower on the 1st verse because in the beginning hes yawnin as if hes tired/just woke up so if theres a 2nd and 3rd verse maybe the flow will speed up idk haha. Love the concept of the song though.
^^^^^^^^ exactlyy. lupe is just waking up in the beginning yawning and shit= just getting started and hes tellin his haters to just go to sleep aka quit while they can
It feels like the concept of the song is much like songs from "The Cool"... this isn't Lupe's persona, the whole snippet is a pun, at least to me. The chorus follows the pattern pretty well, and the way I see it is kinda like, "these rappers can sleep on me, but I'm still up and workin to get better" Hence, "Real niggas up again, real niggas at the job..." Food for thought.
CT said... wow some of you guys are really dumb it's the internet none of y'all are hard on here gtfo
(prince and ninjaking_)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ dude im not trying to be hard.im just tired of people getting at me.saying im retarded and shit. apologize if im trying to act hard when im not. shit when you see me in person i wont act hard trust me.as for ninjaking he actin hard.
relates to the movie Armgeddon (he means his words will kill ur ignorance), and Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, also the like "Cruise from the Sky" also is "Crows from the Sky" as crows represent death. thats 3 metaphors on death in 1 line... :/

ReplyDeleteLUPE FIASCO DIED AFTER FOOD&LIQUOR!!!
ReplyDeleteRIP LOOOPE...
Lupe is better than Nas lyrically. I'm a Nas fan, but he's not touching Lupe lyrically. No one in the game is. And, Nas did influence Lupe, but you can't say without Nas there would be no Lupe.
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteThe song is alright. The beat well ridden, and a catchy chorus, something I've been waiting from Lupe since The Cool. However, it doesn't sound like the old F&L Lupe, neither flow-wise nor lyrics-wise; therefore, for this to be a snippet of a sequel (classic) album, it doesn't do it justice.
Most of Lupe's lyrics are getting repetitive. The "eye(I)"-like entendres and the popular culture references are becoming his trademarks; and that's not good.
Lol @ the comments.
Lol @ at the dude that responded to 4ziATiC without even knowing what SMH means (and more importantly, he responded he didn't know when he clearly could have just looked it up).
Lol @ datkid1220 saying all these comments make him laugh, and then failing by getting worked up by the same troll commenters.
Damn Lupe can't win. People hate on the sound of Lasers because it's different, and they want the Food and Liquor Lupe, and then when he drops some F&L 2 material he's not the same and he sounds repetitive.
ReplyDeleteJay said it best "niggas want my old shit, buy my old album".
ReplyDeleteI want to know what lupe's new tweet means? F&L 2: TGARA?????

ReplyDeleteFood and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album
@ Lawfer: well said on all counts
ReplyDeleteand to those talking about keeping the same style vs. switching up: I don't care if he makes a new sound or keeps his old style, what really matters is the quality of the material. To me, Lupe's quality that he brings is lyricism, and I'm not too sure that the new stuff is up to the same level as it used to be. Other than Past My Shades, he hasn't been at the level where lines go over your head as much as he used to. I think "Go to Sleep" is better than most of his recent songs, but the general trend seems to be a bit less lyrical and like Lawfer said, repetitive.
I think he dumbed down Lasers so people can really get the message he is pushing. I'm sure he will get back to the deep lyricism on F&L 2. Or, maybe not? Either way Lupe makes good positive music and I will continue to listen. I hear what your are saying about pop culture references, but dude is so clever the way he drops them. The word play is genius.
ReplyDeleteFood and Liquor 2 going to flip lids...
ReplyDeleteLupe returns to rap with no punk rock backdrop
@datkid1220
ReplyDeleteYes, now that's what's up. :D
---
Oh forgot:
Lol @ the guy that thought "Go To Sleep" was from Lasers and was still arguing it was from Lasers when Lupe & Busy said it's from F&L II. (I see you Prince!)
Also, with my earlier comment, my intention wasn't to undermine Lupe's abilities. The problem is that Lupe, being the type of rapper he is (the one that doesn't want to make songs without a meaning/message/purpose), has found it extremely difficult to produce music in these times, because there's really not much else to talk about. One of the few reason he thought about retiring....
I believe, this F&L II project will help him find other dense topics (like he did at the beginning of his career) that will enable him to fully utilize his lyrical ability to be able to extend to us that message he so vehemently wants to convey in his music... positivity.
Even if he's not at F&L capacity (as of this Snippet, of course), he is still lyrically superior to almost every rapper alive; if that makes you feel better, that is...
100th!
ReplyDeletestunt 101<-
ReplyDeletethe beat is sick. he has more wordplay in one snippet then most have in awhole song let alone a cd but the flow is alittle idk.Overall it sounds like its gonna be a nasty song. By the way i think the flow is slower on the 1st verse because in the beginning hes yawnin as if hes tired/just woke up so if theres a 2nd and 3rd verse maybe the flow will speed up idk haha. Love the concept of the song though.
ReplyDeletelupe telling the haters that slept on him to GO TO SLEEP!
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteexactlyy. lupe is just waking up in the beginning yawning and shit= just getting started
and hes tellin his haters to just go to sleep aka quit while they can
Lupe can go to SLEEP with that LAME as flow...
ReplyDeleteLupe DIED after food&liquor pt.1...
^^^
ReplyDeleteLupe died after F&L? The Cool was arguably better than F&L.
People just talk shit on here to get a reaction.
The Cool was lupe's TITANIC...
ReplyDelete"but i'm warming up, oceans is on the rise"
ReplyDelete... jaw drops
people are crazy if they think this song is not dope
ReplyDeleteIt feels like the concept of the song is much like songs from "The Cool"... this isn't Lupe's persona, the whole snippet is a pun, at least to me. The chorus follows the pattern pretty well, and the way I see it is kinda like, "these rappers can sleep on me, but I'm still up and workin to get better" Hence, "Real niggas up again, real niggas at the job..." Food for thought.
