Lupe Dumbs It Down

lupe.jpg


Lupe tries to make it rain the old fashioned way

“Make a song for the b*tches, n***a (dumb it down)/We don’t care about the weather, n***a (dumb it down)”…
“You putting me to sleep (dumb it down)/ That’s why you ain’t poppin’ in the streets (dumb it down)/You ain’t winning awards (dumb it down)/Robots and skateboards? (dumb it down)”

Throughout the song Lupe runs off on a stream-of-consciousness tangent about how prolific he is, explaining the metaphors as he goes. It’s as if he’s spoonfeeding his thoughts to the average listener without necessarily compromising his lyrics. Wordplay is ridic.

Produced by the ever improving Soundtrakk and supposedly taken from Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool.

Sick!
He fits better with these types of beats…dunno why backpack rappers think that they have to have boom bap beats, when their lyrical content is suffice

8. Magoo Says:

The track is ridiculous, period, he should get more credit but because he doesn’t talk about the bs that other rappers talk about he isn’t talked about.

Lyrically this is one of the top guys in the game, I just hope others start to realize that.

9. Rizoh Says:

Hope y’all enjoy the new media player.

10. Walter Says:

Us leeches aren’t appreciative =/

Haha, but this track is hot. I like how he connects it in the end.

11. Rizoh Says:

all you leeches gotta do is say “riz where the link at?” and i’ll hook you up. it’s just that too many folks have been asking for this player, plus it’s way classier.

12. esbee Says:

This song is NICE! I agree w/ Belize, not all of us are like that tho..

watch out, “Heroes Unsung” coming soon.

13. Rizoh Says:

Watch out for Esbee the FUTURE!

14. Walter Says:
