lupe's superstar...
 
... is it just me, or did the underground dude jus try his hardest to pull a kanye? Even his damn dance moves in the video. sheesh. Don't get me wrong, shits catchy as hell, and I ain't gonna hate, but it jus ain't what I expected. Good move for spins n sales on his part tho. Where I'm from - keepin it real, is gettin paid anyways. *shrugs*

Lupe fucks with Kanye hard

Chris Stylez 12-23-07 06:43 AM

Kanye has nothing on lupe.

La Cosa Nostra 12-23-07 07:31 PM

Man, that tracks prolly one of the coolest hip hop songs I've heard being played on commercial radio right now in my country...

Kanye is worth mentioning cause sometimes his songs can sound cool, but the guy sticks his head so far up his asshole its hard to appreciate the words comming out of his mouth...real heads know what I'm saying... So lupe is prolly one of the only commercial played rappers that I would turn the radio up for when his shit comes on..


fuck it though
I wanna hear more immortal tech n binary star....

^^ There's a difference between respecting a rapper as an artist, and respecting him as a person. Just cuz he acts like a prissy bitch don't mean you shouldn't feel his music if it's good.

If your keen on listening about his candy ass life as a celebrity mixed with some egotistical hype about his nothing-special lyrics then fuck yeah...

Shit I've heard some kanye music that I havnt minded before I'm not saying the guy has no talent as a rapper.. But most his singles have been full of shit.. Wheres the consistancy that should be on-par with cats from the 90's.. Hes letting the decade down I feel for certain reasons..

I think kanye was given the chance to really do something with his career and for the majority of his time as a celebrity hes been a shit stirring immature satanic self indulging princess..

And you want me to just glaze over all of that and be a follower? fuck nah bruzzy...i just dont care about kanye.. i hear his music, but it does nothing for me like country...

can you dig that

are you serious this song at pulling a kanye?...
LUPE FIASCO - Superstar lyrics
(feat. Matthew Santos)

[Chorus:]
If you are what you say you are
A super star
Then have no fear the camera's here and the microphone and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh

If you are what you say you are
A super star
Then have no fear the crowd is here and the lights are on and they want a show
Oh oh oh oh

[Verse 1:]
Yea, uh
A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Want to believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you
Did you improve on the design
Did you do something new
Well your name ain't on the guest list
Who brung you, you
The more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you
You come to
And then it hit me
Standing outside of heaven waiting for god to come and get me
Im too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And two gum shoe
Too much of a newcomer
And too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle
I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who song blue
Go back what ever you did you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on my two tons too

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down through the basement
Passed the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
And out through china
Nearly misses air liners
Magnified times five
This is pointed at the rhymer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest a blaze
Now that's important to say
Cuz even with all of that
Most of us don't want it to fade
We want it to braid
Meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to stay
Like the governor called
And they told him to wait
Un-strap him from the chair
And put him back in his cage
The audience ain't fazed
And they ain't gone clap and they ain't gone praise
They want everything back that they paid
Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I been standing in this line
For like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting along
And when I got to the front they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are thrown
M&M's are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every songs a favorite song
And mikes don't feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha hahaha
Ha ha hahaha ha

[Chorus]

how is that pulling a kanye its a really well put together song with a catchy hook....cuz its catchy its pulling a kanye...theres alot of good insight in the song tells a minature story, and is solid in every lyrical component....then for those who have heard it...there is actually flow and he raps it, instead of kanye talking on an album.....sorry but please dont mention these two together.....kanye has artistic style in beat making....but nothing at all close to lupe in songwriting and prefroming

Phorge 12-25-07 04:49 AM

Word, Lupe will eclipse Kanye as an artist as he has done songwriting. Plus he seems to have an edge to his music which imo Kanye doesn't.

Kanye just really doesn't seem like he appreciates what he's done. The way he portrays himself in the media is that he's just trying to win awards, and cries when he doesn't.
