December 2nd, 2007 at 10:26 am

December 2nd, 2007 at 11:03 am
KIDS GOT TALENT BUT A LACK OF RESPECT FOR CERTAIN HIP HOP PIONEERS…
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:16 am
damn I was listening to that song high definition on my hi def surround sound system and it sounding so cool, production on this one is cutting edge,
im definitely looking fwd to downloading this album for free lol
Unfortunately thats an option so thats what we will do. Definatley worth the money though for those rich suburban kids who have money out they parents ass,
December 2nd, 2007 at 12:07 pm
I like the snippets save for one.but it’s only a snippet also I just downloaded The coolest I love it the album is gonna be fuckin sweet.but I doubt it sells like it should.I mean soulja boy sold waaaaay to much.oh well I think I might buy 2 copies.
December 2nd, 2007 at 12:08 pm
@Dominator:
…..or people with general principle, who earn their own money and support their culture instead criticizing and contributing to it’s demise.
So u can afford a Hi Def surround sound and u cant cop an album?
That makes all the sense in the word.
Carrerra Lu. Already pre-ordered.
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:01 pm
@ #7 u just don’t like lupe cause u never got passed 3rd grade and don’t understand shit. get some education retard.
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:19 pm
I don’t care for Lupe, and I’m in medical school. It’s a matter of preference. While I’ll rather he sale than a lot of the other rappers, it’s ignorant as hell to call someone uneducated because they don’t like the artists you like. Didn’t your boy Lupe speak on elitism in hip-hop?
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:04 pm
#12 Sorry but Soulja Boy Cd did NOT sell, Can’t wiat 2 Buy this!
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:54 pm
#15 Quag:
My days of contributing to the get rappers rich fund are over!!! He is unfortunately paying for the wack albums we have purchased over the years. I aint goanna pay no money for sound data when its on the net for free,,, cmon be serious.
If he gives a good tour he can get his money up that way.
Thats how true hip hop should be represented …as a live experience.
December 2nd, 2007 at 4:56 pm
My computer won’t play the snippets….I lost
December 2nd, 2007 at 5:08 pm
@20 Same here.All I see is some japanese bullshit
December 2nd, 2007 at 7:23 pm
Coolest nigga wat? for a dude like lupe to have 19 tracks on a cd nowadays n also have em all to b crack is amazing… dec 18 people..Coolest day of the year
December 2nd, 2007 at 7:56 pm
yo on that track “the coolest” he says “forgive my cool young history”. The main character is Michael Young History…i thought that was kinda clever
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 pm
music with no fucking use!!! cant stand these rappers who babale rhymes in style yet have no message. dont buy this shit.
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:26 pm
i definitely respect Lupe as an artist. i truly believe that he is bringing an original sense of style to the music industry of today. i think that he newest project will bring a kaleidescope filled with different sounds that fits the audience he is trying to convey too.
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:41 am
^^ please stop.
im also tired of hearing “breath of fresh air”
people have been doing what lupes been doing…example: qwel.
i just came from a lupe concert 2nite!!! and without a doubt he is amazing and the cool will be a must buy, but please stop ttrying to use a bunch of your own weak metaphors
December 3rd, 2007 at 4:11 am
Lord please have sympathy and forgive my cool young history
Micheal Young History (the Professor)
Verse One
I love the Lord,
But sometimes it’s like that I love me more
I love the peace
And I love the war
I love the seas
And I love the shore
No love for no beach
Baby, that’s loyal
But she doesn’t see, therefore I spoil
I trick, I fall
Run up in raw
I love her, with all my heart
Every vein, every vessel,
Every bullet lodged
With every flower that I ever took apart
She said- that she would give me greatness,
Status, placement above the others
My face would grace covers
Of the magazines of the hustlers (hustler magazine)
Paper, the likes of which that I had never seen
Her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams
The purpose of our scene,
The obscene obsession for the bling
She would be my queen,
I could be her king
Together, she would make me cool
And we would both rule, forever,
And I would never feel pain
And never be without pleasure, ever, again
And if the rain stops,
And everything’s dry
She would cry
Just so I can drink the tears from her eyes
She’ll teach me how to fly
Even cushion my fall
If my engines ever stall (wordplay bathroom Stall)
And I plummet (wordplay Plumb it) from the sky
But she will keep me high
And if I ever die
She would commission monuments on her bosom
To hum
Or maybe she’d retire as well
A match made in Heaven set the fires in Hell
And I’ll be
Coolest _ what
Coolest _ what
Coolest _ what
Coolest _ what
Verse Two
And so began our reign (rain)
The Trinity, her and I came
No other man could ever stand
What her and I can (hurricaine)
Hella hard
Umbrella whatever
Put plywood or propeller panes
And pray to God that the flood subside
‘Cause you gonna need a Sub till he does reply
And not one of Jared’s (Jared Subway)
You think it’s all arid
And everything’s ivory
Another supply
That means another July
Inside my endless summer
That was just the eye of the unger
Felix, (fromethe Play The Odd Couple(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Felix_Unger) ’cause he is the cleanest among the
Younger, outstanding achieving up-and-comers
The ones that had deadbeat daddies
And well to do mommas
But not well enough to keep ‘em from us
The ones that were fightin’ in class
Who might not pass
Rap record pressure to laugh
At a life not fast
“Can you feel it?”
That’s what I got asked
“Do I love her?”
I said I don’t know
Streets got my heart, Game got my soul
One time’s my sunshine will never hurt your soul
Quote
To a crying and sobbing baby momma
Who’s the momma to a daughter
That I had fathered from afar
My new lady gave me a Mercedes
And a necklace with a solid gold key
Like the starter of a car
The opener of a door or two pounds of raw
You gave me a baby, but what about lately?
Then ha-ha-ha-ha-ha’d
Right up in her face, G
There’s more fish in the sea,
I’m on my mission to be
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
Verse Three
Come. These are the tales of The Cool.
Guaranteed to make you go and fail from your school
And seek unholy grails like a fool
and hang with the players of the pool
Fast talkin’ on the hustle
No Heaven up above you
No Hell underneath ye
And nowhere will receive thee
So, shed no tear when we’re now here
And keep your faith, as we chase
The cool….

December 4th, 2007 at 4:24 am

The Lupe Album is Definatly a Classic….
I have Listened to it front to back now since the day it was released non stop… Even the tracks I wasnt feeling too much have grown on me… Except the track “hiphop saved my life” that beat is a boring album filler I.E a throw away beat……
Lupe played it really smart, He has a few speedyflow tracks, like chicogo is known for (i.e. Twista etc) he has radio songs that are still dope, he hass classic hiphop tracks like “paris/ Tokyo” and he has some crossover tracks that sound like they will be on movie soundtracks for years to come like “streets on fire and Uncool” overall, Im really happy with this release….
To Each they own tho….
For those of you who dont feel this album there are plenty other albums to listen to, but for those who enjoyed this album and those like it, I highly recommend you come listen to some NEWAGE NATIVE TONGUE IDDISH, The Younger brother to A Tribe Called Quest, Common, Mos DEf, Gangstarr, De La soul, Pharcyde, Dilla esk..just plain Dope… and ONE FIFTYETH OF THE RAWKUS FAM
Yes it is none other than yours Truely
