ileerdanu wrote on September 28th, 2007 at 6:33 am
wow, this video makes me like the track even more…LUPE=THE BEST OUT
As a chicago artist myself i have to say that Lupe fiasco is the best to come out in a while. If u listen to both of his farinhite 1st and 15 mixtapes u wuold have already known. but this shit right here gon wake every body up. this niggas the truth. Quote from a track from achillez,”when chi-ca-guys snap wat these niggaz gon do, they medicated wit mines and lu they cant even stomach u”
Hot video for an even hotter song. Not all videos should be directed by Hype. Who lost his touch a long time ago in my opinion.

@ #33
Lupe had 3 F1/15 mixtapes.
And like 5-6 other mixtapes.
Niggas sleep on him cause all they ever heard was his radio singles, which in all actuality or far from his best tracks.
I did fuck wit Daydreamin heavy though.
They need to dl a few of his joints and see.
Or atleast go to imeem.com and listen to a few freestyles.
The nigga style is crazy, he got a wide range.

I’m fearless
now hear this
I’m earless
and I’m peerless(having no equal)
that means I’m eyeless
which means I’m tearless
which means my iris resides where my ears is
which means I’m blinded
but Imma find it
I can feel its nearness
but Imma veer(change direction)so I don’t come near
like a chicken or a deer
but I remember I’m not a listener or a seer
so my windshield smear
here, you steer I shouldn’t be behind this
clearly because my blindness
the windshield is minstrel
the whole grill is roadkill
so trill and so sincere
yea I’m both them there
took both pills
when a bloke(man)in a trench coat
and the locs in the chair had approached him here
and he clear as a ghost
so a biter of the throats in the mirror
the writer of the quotes for the ghosts
who supplier of the notes to the living
riveting is rosy
pockets full of posies
given to the mother of the deceased
awaken at war
’til I’m restin’ in peace, peace, peace
this verse is so hard….he talks about a whole bunch of shit but he stays on subject.

flatbush34st wrote on September 28th, 2007 at 11:38 am
my interpretation is like….he makes reference about the Matrix…like when Morpheus(man in trenchcoat) approached Neo because he thought he was the one. The whole being real vs. fake theme is going on in this verse it seems like.
I might be wrong….but that what it seems like to me.
