Still the nicest freestyle I've heard to this. "Niggas ain't seeing what I'm keeping concealed they wanna be at chill, u would leak it if the secrets revealed peep it might leak it to polices and squeal"
@@FranklinFreshman never! Lupe is always first. My dude is the best MC that came out from Chicago. With all due respect to Common, but, what Lupe has done with his lyricism is incredible.
it takes true intelligence to grasp lupe's words because where it seems like he could be advertising one thing in a verse it turns out hes actually giving you wisdom subliminally he truly is the artist of the generations and not to mention hes a home town artist of mine and im glad to hip hop isnt dead yet
it might just be me but lupe is the best out in the game... he is one of the vary few reasons i still listen to rap...if he didnt rap i might just turn to rock
Lupe is one of the few people who I can be inspired from to do somethin wit my life..I think if you miss out on him you missin out on one of the most intellegent minds we have today..and we dont have too many of these now..
In addition to the semi it's paper on my waste like Henry. I miss this lupe, dude turned into cannibus part 2 with all the big words and shit lol . That scarface ref in the end took me years to get. Imagine him and stack bundles on a co mixtape .
Why people insist on comparing him to other rappers!? Lupe is hot, he aint nobody but Lupe. The nigga is iller than any rapper out now. Flows nice, lyrics are hot and even got positive messages. No gangsta shit, no ringtone songs, just str8 pure Hip-Hop Art! Appreciate it cuz its been a while that a new artist of his caliber graces us with great hip-hop music. Fuck Hip-POP! Hip-Hop foreva!
Lupe is great! He's a great lyricist, i hate when people try 2 hate on him 4 being his self. People listen to his music, but they don't hear what he saying! Think about it.....!
Yeah it's unfortunate but Lupe has influenced so many people's lives. From Chance the rapper to TDE to even Lil B. His legendary rap career is ending this year but he'll forever be in the hearts and minds of his fans. And who knows, maybe lyricism will rise in mainstream again and his work will be more appreciated in the future. I'm excited for his last 3 albums. Hopefully they'll give him indisputable GOAT status.
Sad that any rapper at the current moment has any hype after listening to lupe. There are some rappers that contend but radio dont play anything close to lyrical rap anymore. Shit is just all trash and trap beats.
The story is this.... Jay was on the way to running Atlantic records... Chilly (lupes manager) and Lupe were like "cool... We coming to Atlantic"... they signed ... But then Jay got an offer from la Reid to run Def jam... Which he took that gig... Leaving Lupe and chilly at Atlantic ( chilly has no ill will against Jay cause who would turn down that offer) The rest is history
Lupe is soo underrated! nice flow, nice rhymes, nice delivery. what else could u ask for! just because he doesnt constantly rap about saleing yayo or drivebys people think that hes some bullshit artist. LUUUPE!!
Lupe is ; Incredible. Unstoppable. Legendary. Original. Inspirational. Hip Hop. =] '' I am white people's kool-aid.'' Now that is what you call DOPE & ORIGINAL. Lupe is just .... WOW ! Too dope for words.
It's me, the baller with the goggles like Karim from Chicago with the models on the scene, duck fellas, better get down like duck feathers! Damnnnnnnnn!!!!!
seriously,after i heard this years ago it immediately became one of the illest freestyles ever.i didnt know lupe had it in him n he's on my top 5 current mc's but still.sick.
originally heard this jawn maybe like '06 after hearing how dude was supposed to be so great and he was the next great lyricist outta the chi...listened once and was like "meh"...by the 3rd or 4th listen my mind was blown. randomly started saying the lyrics the other day and literally got chills. def one of the underrated goats. U can listen 4 yrs and still catch new aspects. dude's a lyrical genius.
"let me, catch you tapping my floor like savion or morse....hope you like the sound of hollow i got more..." "of course its the boss... tony Danza of stanza... Springsteen of 16's... "it's mean... the baller with the goggles like kareem... from chicago with the models on the scene... duck fellas... better get down like duck feathers... a rhyme or a crushed pepper... a grinder, yea thats much better..." "find me covered in ice like encino man"
I wish Lupe was signed to Roc-Nation or Def Jam or something like that. because the artist on those labels are always consistent with their music style.
"I black out like DOS"
I am a computer science major in college and I dropped my jaw hearing that.
this dude Lupe has the craziest references that require knowledge.
That was over everybody head
@@zigman3105 in fucking 2007
& no back doors! (like Porsche)..
@@TYSTYSTYS2000 yup this was before the 4 door panamera came out. amazing
Greatest lyricst of all time no question. He is now officially a professor a MIT
is it just me or does Lupe have one of the nicest flows ever?
"i black out like dos, how u gone back out, there's no back door like porche."
sick
"Duck fellas, better get down like duck feathers" Swaggiest line ever
2019 i remember being younger listening to this off Limewire. So many cds burned. The great days. Ling live real rap
Damn limewire 😂
Facts lol
Weird way to spell VIRUS THE FUCK OUT MY COMPUTER
Damn I need Limewire again lol 😂
RIP to burned CDs to bump in the whip.
No question, you ain't gotta A-S-K
I fly through, pocket full of J-F-Ks
I rise to, the occasion like toast
With totes on the waist
And I flood your watch flooded like a basement man
You and my main foes fold like clean clothes
Sub-machine holes the size of Shaq rings in between your eyes like nose
Pinky mac ring like the song that Peedi Crack sings, I Propose
Don't make me stand up, told you
You ain't gotta have your hands up
I was like, screw paper
Then I ran round touched money, changed my mind
Mind on my change so I tucked money hands down
Now, in addition to the semi
There's paper on the waist like Henry
And niggas ain't seeing what I'm keeping concealed
They wanna be it, chill; you would leak it if the secret's revealed
Peep it, might leak it to polices and squeal
Then you gotta hide money like
Fresh or witness protect
Went from, best to business exec in less than 4!
You can get it in the chest like Fresh
Anything not next to Tec is hidden in the floor
So act like you Denzel or Rudy Ray Moore
Wait, there's more:
Let me catch you tappin' my floor like Savion or Morse
Hope you like the sound of hollow, I got more
I black out like DOS, how you gonna back out
There's no back doors, like Porsche
Or course, it's the Boss, Tony Danza of Stanza
Springsteen of sixteens
It's nothin' sweet, it's Lupe
I am White people's Kool-Aid, it's mean
The baller with the goggles like Kareem
From Chicago with the models on the scene
Duck fellas
Better get down like duck feathers
A rhyme or a crushed pepper
A grinder yeah that's much better
You a, dice game I'm a casino man
Hustler for life, you hear the lingo and
Find me covered in ice like Encino Man
Only one missin' is Pacino, man
Get it, ha ha
Beencomin back to this 💥banger since 2009 ..classic af
This is lyricism at the highest level, I salute you!
It sure is👍
It takes a while to decipher this guy's lyrics. But once you do, you realize his true genius. Pure truth. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
Facts I was 16 obtaining his lyrics 🔥🔥💪🏾
Lupe and Cole both went in on this shit. Big ups to both of those lyrical assassins.
"There's paper on the waist like Henry" it could be a reference to Goodfellas where Henry hides stolen wads of cash in his waistband
No need to quote bars; this whole freestyle is immaculate, suburb, vintage SLR!
Still the nicest freestyle I've heard to this.
"Niggas ain't seeing what I'm keeping concealed they wanna be at chill, u would leak it if the secrets revealed peep it might leak it to polices and squeal"
TRULY Chicago's FINEST 😁
Agree!
Chicago Emcees
#1. Common
#2. Lupe Fiasco
@@donovanhenderson2225 kayne is 2 and lupe 3rd
@@FranklinFreshman never! Lupe is always first. My dude is the best MC that came out from Chicago. With all due respect to Common, but, what Lupe has done with his lyricism is incredible.
@@FranklinFreshman Kanye got ghost writers, even without ghost writers...I would put him at two for lyricism. I would put Common at number two though.
His whole message is deep in this shit. It flew over my head for for the longest.
it takes true intelligence to grasp lupe's words because where it seems like he could be advertising one thing in a verse it turns out hes actually giving you wisdom subliminally he truly is the artist of the generations and not to mention hes a home town artist of mine and im glad to hip hop isnt dead yet
one of the most lyrical songs he did honestly he killed this harder than anyone
Lupe one of the best rappers there will ever be!
The old flows are for me
Haven't felt the same for years
lupe fiasco has a very original flow that makes you relax whenever u hear one of his songs
The greatest rapper to ever do it, hands down no question about it
Nas only offspring in rap
one of the best freestyles of all time easily
it might just be me but lupe is the best out in the game... he is one of the vary few reasons i still listen to rap...if he didnt rap i might just turn to rock
lupe brings class and education to the game... one of the best freestyles on this beat
Lupe is one of the few people who I can be inspired from to do somethin wit my life..I think if you miss out on him you missin out on one of the most intellegent minds we have today..and we dont have too many of these now..
This freestyle gave me the chillz. Lupe killin em!
Covered in ice like Encino Man!
Get down like duck feathers!
This dude makes you learn so much, I had never heard of either one of these lol
Duck fellas, better get down like duck feathers
Classic. this beat is pretty hard to miss up on it. beat gets A+ Lupe gets A+
Just making sure Lupe still the best lyricist alive
Does anyone else get the feeling that when he's spitting this in the booth, in between verses he cracks a smile at his own genius?
when lupe dropped this track he got all the clout in hip hop almost immediately ahaha, i remember those days
I get down like duck feathers......oh my lord. That wasn't even the best line
Had to bump this for the one time 2019
2020. let's keep the good music moving!
Dead Presidents deserves more than a freestyle. I think if an artist wants to pay tribute to this legendary song, then they should give it their all.
Lupe is a legend.P.E.R.I.O.D
that whole flow was just so smooth, crispt, just amazing, super lupe doin his thing
"Submachine holes the size of shaq rings in between your eyes like nose"
Lupe Fiasco is one of those wicked smart rappers...well read and studied a lot. legend.
he is one of tha few these days... one of tha few among all tha new cats you hear on tha radio...
Lupe without a doubt
"It's Lupe I am white peoples Kool-Aid" my goodness Lu. Dudes on fire and that's not even the best line!!!
I think the best freestyle of this beat was supah hot fire's
Lupe is just on another level. I mean Lupe fiasco is synonymous with revolutionary in my book. Especially with his All Black Everything.
In addition to the semi it's paper on my waste like Henry. I miss this lupe, dude turned into cannibus part 2 with all the big words and shit lol . That scarface ref in the end took me years to get. Imagine him and stack bundles on a co mixtape .
Lupe is turning into one of my favorite rappers
2020 still blapiin this homie! Blessings

Fuck Hip-POP! Hip-Hop foreva!
Lupe in a league of his own. No competition.
this is hiphop
Type Prince EA Bars from Sumer if you like this!!
man you listen to this shit? i respect you even more now. hello from 12 years later
Imagine this being so classic that Prince EA got 4 likes on his comment 😂
Damn
Lupe is great! He's a great lyricist, i hate when people try 2 hate on him 4 being his self. People listen to his music, but they don't hear what he saying! Think about it.....!
i never thought about like that....damn
lupe is a killa!!!!
Who’s here in 2019??
Good times
Lupe been spittin flames for over a decade
+Agreewithmyfact I agree I just hate how ppl sleep on this man still ! He's the greatest lyricist imo of all time

James Lloyd I don't know about that... Jay electronica is amazing lyrically as well.
KingCole The III I love Jay Electronica he's def one of my favorite lyricist I'm just mad he hasn't dropped an album smh
some of the best gangsta/mafia movie references ever.
this guys a beast. one of the best
He definitely does, but everybody riding Cole so they wont give Lupe his props unfortunately
Johnny Rocketfingers What? Everybody is aware that Lupe is better lyrically then J Cole.
not everybody stfu
Ether If you honestly think J Cole is even in the same breath as Lupe, lyrically, you need to get drug tested.
KingCole The III better yet put the pipe down
Sad that any rapper at the current moment has any hype after listening to lupe. There are some rappers that contend but radio dont play anything close to lyrical rap anymore. Shit is just all trash and trap beats.
Lupe should have signed with Jay Z, when he had he opportunity.
No.
Jay Z fucked him over. He was planning to sign with him
The story is this.... Jay was on the way to running Atlantic records... Chilly (lupes manager) and Lupe were like "cool... We coming to Atlantic"... they signed ... But then Jay got an offer from la Reid to run Def jam... Which he took that gig... Leaving Lupe and chilly at Atlantic ( chilly has no ill will against Jay cause who would turn down that offer)
The rest is history
Lupe is soo underrated! nice flow, nice rhymes, nice delivery. what else could u ask for! just because he doesnt constantly rap about saleing yayo or drivebys people think that hes some bullshit artist. LUUUPE!!
LUPE. LEGEND. PERIOD.
one of the best out
Back again 11 years later. Lupe the legend.
lupe is too smart for a lot people that is all and he is talented the world is not ready for him
No one will reach lupe's level. MTV and the media don't say he's a legend...so believe it, If they don't say it, it's true...
one most creatice freestyles ever, some of the best gangsta/mafia movie references ever.
In between my eyes like Nose!! Great Word play!!
Lupe doesn't get the respect he deserves!
you can get it in the chest like fresh anything not next the tec is hitting in the floor!!! man i love the midwest
Lu is a beast!
lupe the best period
Lupe is ;
Incredible.
Unstoppable.
