    The fact that this is from the Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtapes and STILL feels like it just dropped is CRAZY!

    This is a CLASSIC. That third verse is extra spiced & sliced....
    "The scriptin' of Scorsese, the score is Count Basie. We go together like the original and the sequal...this the end of the triligy, ya feeling me? The penz & the needlez."
    I love those bars. This song & Twilight Zone were the songs that made me realize Lupe was different, different when it came to hip hop & rap back when I first heard theme.
    REVENGE!! FNF UP!!!

    This was such a dope track when it came out. Sounds like he remastered it. I'm here for it. The world needs to be reintroduced to Fahrenheit 1/15. A monument that will forever stand the test of time. God level lyricism

    "Can you dig it? Why Emcee? Hey (/Y.M.C.A) I do it for my village".
    "Village People" is the disco group that released the Y.M.C.A song!
    Lupe was playing with homophones back in 2005 🔥🔥

    • @drjonesey5
      @drjonesey5 2 месяца назад

      The YMCA bar is more than that and he responds with "He do it for the village/his people" which is what THE YMCA was created for, to help the people. Then he goes into the Beatles and John Lennon bars and the Y.M.C.A organization was founded in United Kingdom and Lennon and the Beatles are from Liverpool in UK. These bars be insane bro.
      It's not just the double entendre's it's the references under the surface, the reason why things were chosen that you have to catch. If you pay attention to the bars you catch some, but he didn't just choose the Beatles and YMCA as doubles, he knew the Beatles were from UK, YMCA started in UK and YMCA is a song sung by Village people and he made doubles and refences out of all that.

      Exactly. Technically it was the 2nd for me since its the 2nd track on Fahrenheit 1/15. Twilight Zone was first and I was thinking " This kid is nice." When Pen and Needlz came on I said "He might be the GOAT" And I was right!
