What a FIASCO!!!

[EK 2.0]

Lupe that is...his new video for the track Dumb it Down...

This track is from the upcoming record The Cool.

I am SO happy to see this cat spitting again, I missed his flow and word plays.

[LongCity]

His body actions look like a mixture of Fab's and Cass'.

[SunniSunShine]

[3g4u]

x2, you are soo right!

and the song is pretty dope.

[szw]

Awesome, I've been listening to pumping Lupe's mixtapes for the last month

Good beat for sure, not feelin the lyrics at all though. How many times can you rhyme 'this' with 'ness' than with with 'less'?
The beat is the only thing that let me listen to the whole song..

I find it the other way around..not feelin the beat so much as the lyrics

[Dave P]

good tune, aside from the n word way to much.

[szw]

Yeah the beat isn't anything special its the lyrics that are good

Uhh dude...the skill is not in rhyming the "ness" part, it's the sound before it. FEARless, HEAR this, EARless, PEERless, TEARless, EARS is, NEARness etc. etc.

That's fine, it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but at least now you don't like it for the right reasons.


I think it's tight, I love the way he uses word play and keeps things thematic. He is definitely rapping on a higher intelligence level than 90% of the other guys out there, and I love how he can a story. Try listening to "Chasing The Cool" or "Never Lies", but make sure you get the lyrics.

regardless of what words he puts in front of less ness and this its still anoying to hear him repeat himself 10 fucking times.

Not a huge fan of the beat but Lupe is still sick. I can't see how anyone who truly loves hip hop can think hes garbage.

Do you need it "dumbed down"?? No bitches, blunts and 40's??...No rappin bout how he's cruisin down the street in his low-low that has you confused??

Nice subtle attack, but I can't see how anyone who has listened to hip hop for a respectable amount of time can make such a judgment.

As someone who has listened to hip hop for 20 years, I can tell you that current mainstream hip hop such as this is mediocre at best, and you have to turn exclusively to underground shit to find decent lyricism, mixing and production quality.

Thanks for saying exactly what was on my mind after reading all these responses...
