Man I wish concerts were open ATM, Imy first concert was Fleetwood Mac, I wish I could go to a MF DOOM concert WHERE HE ACTUALLY IS THERE, and one of these, shit would be dope
Do you know why Jill Scott is underated. It's because no one seems to recognize and appreciate her unique vocal agility. Which is her uncanny ability to seemlessly transition from angelic vocal expression to the powerful execution of strong dynamic range. In my personal opinion she has achieved mastery over this skill.
Wow this adds so many layers on top of the original. Jill Scotts vocals are so delicious. Could fall asleep under the flowers under the flowers listening to this. Who's here because of Mr Robot?

"Today started just like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and every day for the last month, a loop, my perfectly constructed loop."
Lupe is one of the greatest ever. This song is going over 99% people's heads... First half of the 1st verse he's talking about the industry (the robot) and how he has to keep them happy or they will drop him since he can't have success without them. In the 2nd part he's talking about how society is constructed while comparing each section to a body. At the bottom are prostitutes, crime & police and at the face of society are the entertainers (him self). 2nd verse is a continuation of the first half of the 1st verse and states what entertainers are doing to keep the industry (robot) happy (promoting evil by making drugs, alcohol, guns & sex cool). What entertainers are showing you is evil (fire) and fake (smoke machines and simulated rain) but is at the same time done in a way that's not harsh enough to upset the masses. The sleeping (ignorant) baby (you) is being influenced by him (the entertainer) and his robot (the industry) as they grow up. He finishes the verse by saying he turned his back on promoting these things and draws parallels to television which also influenced (raised) him & us.
the song from my childhood that will never get old ❤ my dad putting this on in the car nonstop as a kid is a core memory for me and is what sparked my love for lupes music and he’s my favorite artists🫶🏻 nothing could ever replicate the feeling of hearing this song for the first time at full blast driving in the rain as a little kid 🥹
this was the first lupe song i ever heard and even to this day it's still one of my fav. songs of all time. I remember when i was a little kid, i went in singing jill scotts part, i was moved.
It’s such a beautiful, existential, soul journey. I miss these artists. I don’t like to be the one to complain about todays music, but they do try to explore their emotional sides, but it’s all surface, and no substance. They don’t know how to make it not all about themselves.

this is the very best version of this song - all the covers and remixes of Daydream (and the original) are all pale in comparison because they don't include Jill Scott's vocals.
Lupe getting Jill Scott on his project, you knew he was going places!! Such a great nostalgic Lupe track, I was in grade 9 when this album came out!! Fire!! Classic
Just listened to Lupe perform this live for his Samurai tour. It was awesome. I was immediately transported back to freshman year of college listening to his smooth backpack rap.
Okay, I heard this on a friend's phone and thought it was Eric Benet. Finding out it was Christian was delightful because i had no idea he could sing too!❤❤❤
Woke up this morning and this song was in my head, don't know why my head did this to me, but glad and I loved it. ❤️✨☀️ Lupe got some masterpieces 💚🙏🏿
Man it's a shame that Lupe Fiasco never got the recognition he deserved. Dude was one of the best rap artist in the game especially at that era. So clever and so amazing! Still one of my favorites!
One of my top Lupe songs. The story telling on this one! The depictions and imagery... It's like reading a book and your imagination is so vivid... This video doesn't do the song justice to me. I'll stick to video in my mind
That first verse is most definitely Lupe describing his hood. More accurately, the society is structured. The way this man illustrates the world from his eyes is incredibly unique.
My 10-year-old son introduced me to Lupe Fiasco and this wonderful rap mix, with Jill Scott’s unique voice, orchestra and the little, simpatico robot. Wonderful 🤗
Actually this is a cover of "Daydream", a song from the Belgian Band "The Wallace Collection", a hitsingle in Europe some fifty years ago. Although I'm Flemish and a little bit chauvinistic, I really like this version.
Anyone else think lupe fiasco is really handsome? Also he's really talented, I like that hes very lyrically focused This song used to be my jam in grade 7

This song was released in 2006
I love how Jill Scott's voice goes from sweet and soft to passionate and full of soul😍🤩
Whattt? I can’t believe that this piece of art was published 14 years ago! It sounds so fresh and cool 😳
Little older than that even. Food & Liquor came out in '06.
Jill Scott is crazy talented. If you haven't seen this, watch The Roots play "You got me" with Jill. Really shows off her skill
Yes, Jill Scott really got diine...
This has always been a classic. I was so thrilled to see Mr. Robot is keepin it in good taste

This song is too timeless to only have 2.5m views... Lupe is an underrated legend.
Both underrated, such a shame.

As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes
I keep him happy 'cause I might fall out if he cries
Scared of heights, so I might pass out if he flies
Keep him on autopilot 'cause I can't drive
Room enough for one, I tell my homies they can't ride
Unless they sitting on the shoulders, but that's way too high
Let's try not to step on the children
The news cameras filming this walking project building
Now there's hoes selling holes like right around the toes
And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg
There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees
And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs
And there's a car chase going on at the waist
Keep a vest on my chest, I'm sitting in my room
As I'm looking out the face, something to write about
I still got some damage from fighting the White House

Don’t care what anyone says. Food and liquor is one the 25 greatest hip hop albums ever made
A lot of his bars went over a lot of heads. He has one of the most unique wordplay techniques
He is probably a top 3 pen game ever in rap. He is on Kendrick's and nas level when it comes to writing lyrically deep songs

Jill Scott is the best part of this song
I will listen to this everyday again
Happy 15th anniversary to Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor album!!
