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

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….

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
