Here we have a 30 sec. snippet of the album version of Travis Barker's 'If You Want To' feat. Pharrell x Lupe. 'Give The Drummer Some' drops on March 15th!
^ Yeah LASERS lacked that, but LASERS wasn't suppose to have that in the first place. Lu himself said he wanted the album to be more simple.
The problem with LASERS is not that it doesn't have complex lyrics because Lu said it several times before that it would be simple. The problem with LASERS is that it sounds POP. It doesn't sound like a hip-hop album at all.
I haven't heard the whole album but my instincts tell me it's going to seem like the lyrics are simple but over time people are going to realize that's not the case. And I think that my be the future of lyricism, being complex but efficient. Just a thought..
the problem with people...is they don't know what they want.... they bitch, and complain, and petition, and cause a ruckus begging for atlantic to release lasers....and as soon as they do it's "well this isn't what we wanted"....STFU already....you shouldn't have wasted your time (or anybody else's for that matter) on trying to get it released if you didn't take the tiniest second to think through the possibility of you disliking the album...
oh and fyi...beautiful lasers in an emotionally driven BEAST of a tune...just thought i'd throw that out there...LA-SERS...
The hooks killed the album, and if the album had better hooks it would've been much better. I hate the album truthfully, and I probably am a bigger Lupe fan than most. So don't hit me with I'm a Lupe hater nonsense, when I probably spent $1000 on Lupe shows alone. I agree verses like this is what Lasers is missing, but I'm just gonna hope Atlantic sits on their hands the next time around.
I've been trying to find this song for a loooooooooooooooooong time. Finally it has shown up, but WTF?!?!? It is going to be released under Travis Barker's album? His drumming ruined that song!
that verse sounds better than half his new album
ReplyDeleteDeadly Flow..
ReplyDeleteThis is 'Go Go Gadget Flow' on steriods.
first comment always gotta be a hater
ReplyDeletefirst comment always gotta be a hater
ReplyDeleteyeah stfu ir really doesnt... but this song is sick
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know if webster hall gonna be strict with ids for lupes show?

ReplyDeletedope!!
ReplyDeleteman ive been waitin for this song for a L-O-N-G time!!!! i cant wait for it to drop!
ReplyDeleteI want the version without the drums !!!
ReplyDeleteFIRE!
ReplyDeleteI like the old, unfinished version of the beat better.
ReplyDeleteSome one leak this I cant wait
ReplyDeleteSecond comment. Why are you hating on him. Clearly he's an OG fan of Lupe.
ReplyDeleteYou might just be a new fan of lupes.
Have you even listened to gogo gadget flow or dynasty freestyle. That's lasers on hgh.
damn! i really liked the unfinished version better. but, this'll have to do
ReplyDelete"What they gotta ram for rather be a matador"
ReplyDeleteCall me a hater if you want, but this* is the kind of thing that Lasers lacked in.
The Great America Rap album better have more of this* and less MDMA/Pooh Bear hooks (and absolutely no Matt Mahaffey!)

^^ ""Every song doesn't need to be super lupe fiasco lyrical"- Soulja Boy" -Lupe Fiasco
ReplyDelete^^ Every album doesn't have to be Super Lupe Fiasco Lyrical
ReplyDelete"Every song doesn't need to be super lupe fiasco lyrical"
ReplyDeleteI agree. Too bad LASERS only has ONE lyrical song though.
"Every song doesn't need to be Super Soulja Boy Simple" -Me

ReplyDelete"Every song has to be super lyrical in order for me to give it a listen."- Pretentious douchebags
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda old. I never expected this to be here. This song has been on youtube for a long time.
ReplyDeleteyea the album is simple but he goes in on every verse... "i dont wanna care right now" is sick.
ReplyDeleteThis song is the truest, classic sounding Lupe track that I've heard ever since Paris Tokyo Remix (yes what I said is definitely debatable)
ReplyDeletethe problem with people...is they don't know what they want....
ReplyDeletethey bitch, and complain, and petition, and cause a ruckus begging for atlantic to release lasers....and as soon as they do it's "well this isn't what we wanted"....STFU already....you shouldn't have wasted your time (or anybody else's for that matter) on trying to get it released if you didn't take the tiniest second to think through the possibility of you disliking the album...
oh and fyi...beautiful lasers in an emotionally driven BEAST of a tune...just thought i'd throw that out there...LA-SERS...
^^ Beautiful Lasers is great, the hook is sung awfully.
ReplyDelete^^Yea i agree Matthew Santos hook was WAYYYY better than MDMA/Pooh Bear, i dont know why they changed it
ReplyDeletenew verse!! always looking forward 2 that

ReplyDeletepeople have to understand that lupe's record company forced him to dumb it down.. its not lupe's album , its atlantic ft lupe
ReplyDeletewhoa, I can't even follow this... t. barker's album is going to be siiiickkkkk
ReplyDeleteAlready better than Lasers....
