THIS IS THE BEST LUPE SONG. He put a totally original spin on what most rappers glorify. 1. Steady Mobbing 2. Hurt me soul 3. He say, she say 4. Theme Music to a drive by. 5. Intruder alert
Years later, it’s hard to get through this song without tears coming to my eyes. It’s what we see out here in Chicago, the reality is captured so perfectly.
And this was before the chaos on our news about Chicago. Lupe prophesied without knowing what was to come on the south side. He spoke of the chaos and cure before them folks grabbed it and sold it to the record labels and fox news.
One of the best rap songs ever made. really wish Lu could’ve made a video for it and it would’ve been pushed. could’ve been that generations Brenda’s got a baby….but we all know why this song was hidden from the masses
Facts every so often I hear this song and just listen to the words ... it’s a reality that hasn’t changed. That’s why this is my favorite song for life. It’s too real . No exaggerations, accurate through the ages. IMO
Hova described Lupe as a 'breath of fresh air' sometime back. Every time I listen to this little-known classic, I can't help think how true that is. Lupe's lyricism is poetic, musical as it is thoughtful. FnF all the way!
It was in his original F&L LP but it was leaked a few months before its release and Lupe re-did some of the album, changed the names of some songs and added some different ones, took some off. Unforunately, this was one of the songs that he excluded in his final LP he released last year. And yeah, this is his best song. The lyrics are so deep, and the chorus is powerful.
HipHop226 same here! I remember I downloaded his entire mixtapes off a torrent site. I've got to retrieved them off my old laptop. Gotta fix that screen first tho.
Can't believe it's been since 06' when this dropped...burn this to a blank disc off LIMEWIRE lol those were my era/days where I'd sit around and try to download all old shit and the latest music out around that time before the mixtapes had them to bump shit nobody else had or they have forgotten overtime...music is my I'm a junkie of it...anyways tracks like this is priceless and timeless because it is storytelling the ghetto vividly in one of USA's biggest cities through a pair of different eyes where the world can still relate...song is ill man...still rides around bumping this...
So glad too see ppl in here taking about this song by far one of the best songs in history...sums up all the ghettos in s nutshell..much respect from ny...
This song, Theme Music to a drive by, Hustlaz, Trials and Tribulations, and a few other tracks that were on the original food and liquor release would have made that album an even bigger classic than it already is.
I remember they used to play this song back in '06 on music choice i used to love this song i was just getting out of high school that year i was pissed that this song was not on the food and liquor album but over all that album was a classic damn time done fly.
This Will Never Grow Old, It’s Still A Banger!!! Even In 2021!!! “I Got Questions To Ask, And I’m waiting on some answers, Like Why Do The Good Die Young (Kobe , Black Panther), Why is there no cure for Cancer/Covid!”
1. Ghetto Story "Steddy Mobbin" 2. Glory 3. Coulda been Everyone of them all time classics! Right in the midst of the trap music era! Lupe kept hip hop alive while it was on life support! Salute!
One of my favorite songs to play in 06-07 that was a great time me and my friends use to smoke and listen to this and revenge of the nerds, Fahrenheit 1.5 Lupe was definitely a breath of fresh air back when I was 15.
The First Time i heard Lupe Fiasco In 2006 i realized the Rap game was gonna be OK. Right away i started digging into his mixtape and realized the Rap Game was in trouble....RUN!!!! B**** RUN!!!! ....ill Let you in on a secret Lupes THE KILLER!.. but don't leak it!
Damn how does this only have 200k views? The best lyrics are the ones that paint a story from beginning to end and this is one of the best flows I've heard in a long time. Lupe is saving hip hop and this deserves way more views.
Heard diz shyt bout 2 years ago and still till diz day my fav lupe song da beat is so chill and everythingi dont no how not so many ppl no bout this or knew bout it when it came out this is real hip hop
heard it on my way down to florida for the first time... i live in MD that was about a days worth of driving this shit was on repeat the ENTIRE time...
For those that may not know, this was supposed to be on Food & Liquor until the album leaked months before the official release. This was on the finished album leak, then Lupe scrapped a few of those songs and made new ones for the version of F&L we know today.. like Daydreaming, I Gotcha, & others.
This is real hip-hop. Don't speak about the girls, speak about the world. Don't advertise crimes in ya rhymes. Keep it real, that's how I feel. Lupe means its a new day.
This is the coolest laid back music - Im still listening to 'the cool' album - straight up classic! Won't let the street dictate my glory so I won't end up just a gheeeetoo storrieee...

I am from South Africa. This song still ring truth, 15 years later
FACTS
Damn after over a decade of listening to Lupe, found another hidden gem.
"So many like once before were killed on." Its hidden by the listeners and sellers on purpose.
JUST found this today!
Hova described Lupe as a 'breath of fresh air' sometime back. Every time I listen to this little-known classic, I can't help think how true that is. Lupe's lyricism is poetic, musical as it is thoughtful. FnF all the way!
I still remember it bruh 💯 still remember I thought Jay was gonna bring him out then this video you to play on B.E.T
It was in his original F&L LP but it was leaked a few months before its release and Lupe re-did some of the album, changed the names of some songs and added some different ones, took some off. Unforunately, this was one of the songs that he excluded in his final LP he released last year. And yeah, this is his best song. The lyrics are so deep, and the chorus is powerful.
This song is sensational, he might be one of the best song writers of all time
phenomenal right?!?!?
@@lightmajor1 definitely!!
man I really wish lupe coulda made a video to this song, the visuals in his verses are on another level
This song get me through tough times.
This is when I knew he was the truth. Way back then.
Leon Thigpen True HipHop
All facts. My guy in college really put me on Lupe and I been fuckin with him ever since. Chi town forever
He still the truth bro. Believe that
My exact thought when I heard this.. Pre-Food&Liquor . #SpecialTalent #Chicagos’Nas
Never gone a day without some lupe music. This does it. Never let the streets dictate me. #steadymobbin
Used to listen to this literally everyday, all day at my job
HipHop226 same here! I remember I downloaded his entire mixtapes off a torrent site. I've got to retrieved them off my old laptop. Gotta fix that screen first tho.
Ilvin Lopez this was definitely on my playlist daily!!
Can't believe it's been since 06' when this dropped...burn this to a blank disc off LIMEWIRE lol those were my era/days where I'd sit around and try to download all old shit and the latest music out around that time before the mixtapes had them to bump shit nobody else had or they have forgotten overtime...music is my I'm a junkie of it...anyways tracks like this is priceless and timeless because it is storytelling the ghetto vividly in one of USA's biggest cities through a pair of different eyes where the world can still relate...song is ill man...still rides around bumping this...

Damnreally 11 years ago. I vividly remember being 15..and 17 listening to this now I’m 26 this is crazy
This song, Theme Music to a drive by, Hustlaz, Trials and Tribulations, and a few other tracks that were on the original food and liquor release would have made that album an even bigger classic than it already is.

Fell in love with this track during spring of 08 my Junior year in High School. A damn beautiful time that was.
classic Lupe!!
Love this song since junior high one of my fave lupe joints
this should be a guideline for the youth...dont let the streets dictate you, you are in control!
Skating through the ghetto that was your home hit different in 2008....
That first verse is incredible man. Lupe blessed us countless times
Chills...every time. This is art
i love this soul music. i still love his new stuff on F&L2 but nothing beats his old tracks when he was younger
This Will Never Grow Old, It’s Still A Banger!!! Even In 2021!!!
“I Got Questions To Ask, And I’m waiting on some answers,
Like Why Do The Good Die Young (Kobe , Black Panther),
Why is there no cure for Cancer/Covid!”
This is my Pops favorite song by Lupe and mine too. Can never hear this song and not think of him! The power of music man
Chicago life Lord have mercy on us.
the greatest rapper ever!!!
No words to say but damn real shit lupe years later its really getter deeper
Alot of Lupe tracks have ended up in the "Timeless" category......
True
Whoever need to hear this:
Always remember …..Steady onward…. Steady upward
The realness of this record is compelling.
1. Ghetto Story "Steddy Mobbin"
2. Glory
3. Coulda been
Everyone of them all time classics! Right in the midst of the trap music era! Lupe kept hip hop alive while it was on life support! Salute!
Comin' From Where I'm From and Hustlaz Song could round out a top five.
Tears man. I didn’t need go back into this training room at work with red eyes. I would bow my head to this man 🙏🏿
What happened bro?
Lupe fiasco songs can relate to me so much..
One of my favorite songs to play in 06-07 that was a great time me and my friends use to smoke and listen to this and revenge of the nerds, Fahrenheit 1.5 Lupe was definitely a breath of fresh air back when I was 15.
This song gives me the same feeling in 2019 that it did in '04. Classic material folks.

Heard diz shyt bout 2 years ago and still till diz day my fav lupe song da beat is so chill and everythingi dont no how not so many ppl no bout this or knew bout it when it came out this is real hip hop
This here is the best Lupe Song Period. If he spoke from this perspective more he could be one of the best songwriters ever.
King Lupe.
It doesn’t get any better than Lupe, folks. Here’s one of the many proofs
I vibez with this song in 2020
I was thinking back on what was the realist songs I've ever heard and this is one that came up. Along with joe budden "are you in the mood yet"
+Tommie M. Yo!!!! The first verse of are you in that yet was my entire life at one point. It was spooky almost.
+Moses Smith mine too bro. Before that song I never heard a rap song get that relatable to my life
Tommie M. Scariest shit was how he pinpointed my life at the point and my selfish thoughts of the abortion. Forever a joe fan after that song.
HOLY SHIT I HAVENT HEARD THIS IN YEARRRSSSSS A CLASSIC!! BRING ME DOWWWWWNNNNN
Why doesnt this track have like a billion views?
LUPE is sick nice metaphors and a good story teller
The coldest. Song gives me chills every time
Song is a classic almost forgot about it
Songs like this are why he's light years ahead of ppl like kdot and others
Lupe. The Embodiement of a true M.C. Lupe got some crazy lines..u just gotta listen.
this is real stuff over here. Lupe at his best...spitting the lyrics like no other.
cant gt enough of that bass line
heard it on my way down to florida for the first time... i live in MD that was about a days worth of driving this shit was on repeat the ENTIRE time...
Still slappin this song in 2023
First time hearing this. Wow
Chicago representing...Go Lupe..Go!
Good Times!!! Made me step my game up
For those that may not know, this was supposed to be on Food & Liquor until the album leaked months before the official release. This was on the finished album leak, then Lupe scrapped a few of those songs and made new ones for the version of F&L we know today.. like Daydreaming, I Gotcha, & others.
I heard the leaked version it was more gritty, but I feel like the retail version was more polished and digestible
i wish he kept the original regardless of the leaks.
This is real hip-hop. Don't speak about the girls, speak about the world.
Don't advertise crimes in ya rhymes.
Keep it real, that's how I feel.
Lupe means its a new day.
2019 til infinity

I love this Lamont Dozier sample. Nice
2020 still ain't letting my habitation get me
