Hey everyone,

I only got into Lupe about 1 or 2 years ago, and he's a pretty deep guy at times, I like him.

Just curious, who likes him and who doesn't ?

I just don't listen to him now. I used to like a few of his songs but his whole albums were just boring to me. Most of his tracks were too average.
Fair enough, I dont have his albums, just select songs that I accuired off the net. The main ones I guess, I love em.

Yeah i like him, Hurt Me Soul is an amazing track!
agreed, I also like American Terrorist, Superstar, Little Weapon, shining down, where I come from etc

yep.

i still listen to F&L on the regular.. one of the best albums this decade.
He's got talent, and he sings about real shit, thats what I love about pac too, unlike so many of these comercialised bands and singers that are out there right now. Sellouts are so easy to spot, all you go to do is listen to their lyrics.

This is what I mean ..........

[Intro]
FNF

[Chorus (x2):]
Hello darkness, hello sunshine, hello not at all, hello all the time
Hello no where, hello oblivion, hello goodbye

Hello Darkness
You [x6]

[Verse 1]
All in together the weather is better than ever
I hope it never ends I hope it lasts forever
But when it does, we can all pretend that it's better than it's ever been
Lie to ourselves like the sky to rebel
And its well and its fine and its fine if it fell
And you couldn't find the story line if you survive to retell
We are targets, Hello darkness

[Chorus]

[Lupe mumbling]
Said everything is going to be fine
Said everything is gonna be OK
Said just don't breathe the air

[Verse 2]
He just sits and waits for them to kick in the door
He once was a hero they don't love him no more
There's a blast, every time a foot hits the floor
His gift for not fighting another man's war
And if they can get their hands on the mask that he wore
On his face, they can put somebody else in his place and restore
The state, the illusion that its safe
the faith, that being a slave is great
As gas fills the room and rockets destroy everything around him
He stands to find himself surround
By thousands of soldiers that his once trained to never miss their targets
Heartless, Hello Darkness

[Chorus]

[Outro - Unkle]
Hello Darkness

Please to make your acquaintance
Salutations, Kanechiwa
Hello end of the world, how are you, I do fine

[Chorus x3]

Hello darkness, hello sunshine
Definite, uncool

And....

"American Terrorist"

Close your mind
close your eyes
see with your heart
how do you forgive the murderer of your father?
the ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr

we came through the storm nooses on our necks
and a smallpox blanket to keep us warm
on a 747 on the pentagon lawn
wake up the alarm clock is connected to a bomb
anthrax lab on a w. Virginia farm
shorty ain't learned to walk already heavily armed
civilians and little children is especially harmed
camouflaged Torahs, Bibles and glorious qurans
the books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there
have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare
we read 'em with blind eyes I guarantee you there's more there
the rich must be blind because they didn't see the poor there
need to open up a park, just close 10 schools
we don't need 'em
can you please call the fire department they're down here marching for freedom
burn down their TV's, turn their TV's on to teach 'em

[CHORUS:]
The more money that they make
the more money that they make
the better and better they live
whatever they wanna take
whatever they wanna take
whatever whatever it is
the more that you wanna learn
the more that you try to learn
the better and better it gets
American Terrorist
(Terror)

now the poor klu klux man see that we're all brothers not because things are the same because we lack the same
color that's green, now that's mean
cant burn his cross cause he can't afford the gasoline
now if a Muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus
with the seconds running give you the jitters?
just imagine an American-based Christian organization planning to poison water supplies to bring the second-coming quicker
nigga they ain't living properly
break 'em off a little democracy
turn their whole culture to a mockery
give 'em Coca-Cola for their property
give 'em gum, give 'em guns, get 'em young, give 'em fun
if they ain't giving it up, then they ain't getting none and don't give 'em all naw, man, just give 'em some its
the paper, some of these cops must be al-qaeda

[CHORUS (2X)]

It's like
don't give the black man food, give red man liquor
red man fool, black man nigga
give yellow man tool, make him railroad boulder
also give him pan, make him pull gold from river give black man crack, glocks and things, give red man
craps, slot machines...

He's the realist.

I loved him for putting out two great albums within a pretty short span. L.A.S.E.R.S. is taking way too long and tbh Shining Down got old within the first day I downloaded it.
