By beating up the guards, hes fighting his oppressors...as a means to achieving peace. "those who make nonviolence impossible, make violence envitable".
Awesome video. I like how it's cinematic just like he said it would be. I agree too that it's a good video that goes along with the lyrics to help those understand.
One of the messages I got from it was the silencing of the freedom of speech with everyone wearing those black things covering their mouths and Lupe's the only one without one, speaks his mind and gets thrown in jail for it. Awesome message to wake people up.
My 1 minor complaint: I wish they would've shown WTC 7 collapsing instead of towers 1 & 2 when he refers to building 7
Like Anonymous2, the fight scene made me giggle a little bit,lol.
BTW, who directed this video? It was very well-done! I love cinematic videos that make sense! I love what they did with the love interest. And I love the bus scene and Lu in the jail cell. It was reminiscent of the Civil Rights Movement but with an up-dated Lu twist to it.
The only thing that was a little cheesy to me was the end. But who am I kidding....nothing wrong with endorsing LASERS!
It would have been dope had Skylar been in the video and she was the one needing saving but nonetheless still an awesome video with a great message and Mr. Jaco gets a beautiful woman ^_^
Most of yall prolly didnt see it !! at 2:49 & 3:18 you see two different countries (Israel & Egypt) telling obama what to do ! #F the damn N.O (New World Order) !! We wanna be free
Lupe is my fav artist but ever since watching the vid suggesting he is part of illuminati I've been uneasy. Yes Lupe is the last mc you'd expect to be a part of it (next thing they tell me Mos Def is their leader) but I've been thinking that what if it's true? In this video you see Lupe wearing what seems to be an Egyptian necklace, so what now is Lupe a Horus worshipper?
Does anyone agree that Lasers has produced some of the best videos Lupe has ever done in his career? I've always thought that Lupe Fiasco was/is an excellent rapper. However I NEVER believed his video did his great songs justice! Now the videos are matching his talent.
Lupe's my hero! Who knew that he could fight!?!
ReplyDeletehahaha i couldnt stop laughing when lupe got carried off those 2 times, and the random fight scene... great vid though free gaza!!!

P.S.: I assume that YouTube isn't official one considering how long it's been up...
ReplyDeleteBut I thought I should link it since it's pretty cool
Dope...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely liked it...
I thought it'd be more like a march that lupe would do to the song down NYC...
but the shadow gov' angle shutting people up is nice too...
I'm Canadian and can't get access to this vid :( Anyone know where else I can view it? The anticipation is killing me!!
