Lupe Fiasco - Hello Goodbye (Live)
Another joint from The Cool.
Lupe Fiasco - Hello Goodbye (Live in Vegas)
Related: Billboard article about the album.
Perhaps the oddest song is "Gotta Eat," which is apparently written from the perspective of a cheeseburger and is rife with food/life metaphors.

The meaning of the name “Lupe” is from the river of wolf. The origin of the name lupe is spanish. Short for Guadelupe. A girls name, is variant of “Lupita” a very popular female first name.

….i can understand and respect that especially to people younger than me that didn’t grow up on tribe but the thing is if people keep telling you fit their style and damn thats the sound we’ve been missing since de la and tribe, and all this wouldn’t you even out of curiosity or respect for rap music and the people who came before you at least take a listen
and you know what he didn’t have to listen to it but he could of at least lied to us and told us he did, but honestly everytime it spoke it seemed like he was trying to start a beef with tribe like q-tip would make a quick diss track over someone else’s beat and him and lupe would be in a battle and maybe then lupe can sell more than 30,000….the nerve of that dude to clown how much tribe sold ? foh……

…..i’m saying all the people saying who cares if he disrespected tribe they old and over now, you peole are the young cats who are growing up on lupe and lets say lupe goes on to make made classics and goes down as one of the best ever one of the most important pieces of hip-hop then what if 10-20 years from now some dude comes out sounding like a 2027 lupe fiasco, only he claims he never heard him or gives a shit about him who the fuck is lupe to him
it’s just about the music it’s about one of the very first things you are taught in life and that is respect your elders, thats in family and people who help it down for you in your position before you, it’s called common decency

@ X– 50 Cent sold 1.1 mil in a short week last time.. Plus this time he dropped like 5 singles before the album dropped–all subpar, formulaic singles at that–Jay sold 425k without a real top 40 single, with 2 months of promo VS 50’s like 6 months of promo.
Plus, the majority of Jay’s albums have sold in that range his whole career. 50 sold something like 800k for GRODT and 1.1 for The Massacre. FOr 50, 691k IS flopping.

Buddy is one of my favorite songs eva! and I have listened to Midnight Marauders Once in its entirety, I was born in ‘81 like Lupe and also Grew up on the Westcoast to that Gang Shit and I am pretty sure people who grew up on Tribe cant explain much about King T or Ice T’s first couple of albums does that make them ignorant or neglegible? Lupe needed to just shut up and KIM and he didnt so thats when he lost
November 15th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
F’real, it’s like you guys giving me shit cuz I haven’t heard some Mobb Deep and Redman joints from 1995. Does that mean I don’t really appreciate rap even tho’ I’ve done my nas, BIG, jay, Dre, Em, kanye, talib, common, and Wu homework?
Answer is no. This is rap snobbery. Lupe dropped the ball initially, but he explained himself in a satisfactory manner IMO.
I spent fall of 1993 bumping Cypress Hill’s “Black Sunday”.. but I won’t give anyone shit who didn’t.

From the billboard article on Lupe:
Throughout, dark production by Soundtrakk, UNKLE and Chris and Drop enhances the weighty themes, particularly on “Street on Fire” (about a burgeoning epidemic) and “Put You on Game.” Among the few guests are Snoop Dogg, who turns up on “High Definition,” while Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump serves as the producer of “Little Weapons.”

Dude.. I sound like Will f’n Smith when I rap, but ask me if I’ve bought any of his albums. G’on. Answer? No I haven’t.
He might sound Native Tongue (none?) influenced, but he could’ve had producers, a&r’s, cypha buddies who DID have that influence, and it rubbed off (nh) on Lu.
I’m just sayin’, it’s not the end of the danged world. Odds are good I’ll never even listen to a Tribe album, but I’ll cop The Cool first week. No disrespect–sincerely, not in the IFux “I’d fuck your mom’s ass and jizz in her eye..No disrespect” sense.

@ Fuxito– For real.

Oh, plus Down With The King (run-dmc, pete rock & cl smooth), Onyx’s “Bacdafucup”, LOTUG “Chief Rocka”, and Jodeci’s unplugged “Lately” single.
Oh, but I didn’t hear “Muddy Waters” so I guess I’m not a real hip-hop fan.

Guys, for real, It ain’t that serious. Not one of you have listened to “Take This To Your Grave” even tho’ I think it’s fucking incredible, but I’m not giving you guys shit.
Hell, I own “Funkdafied” and “Deliverance” (bubba, not beatty) and I’m not gonna flip out cuz 80% of the people here haven’t heard more than the singles off of both.
Just cuz Lu ain’t grow up listening to that and doesn’t view it as a priority to run run run run run run and check ‘em out doesn’t mean that he isn’t a sincere, talented artist.

it’s true that Lupe OD’ed when he made the Tribe Statements… i just hope that he grows from it, sees the error in his ways and checks the music… not because he HAS to as some sort of hip hop law.. but simply because they are dope records that influenced alot of people, and alot of the people who support him.
and yeah.. i like lupe.. F&L was dope.. and i’ll prolly pick up “The Cool” when it drops. but don’t get it twisted.. I love hip hop, but i don’t love rappers. i don’t like to get too carried away with judgements/feelings about these guys as people..

I don’t think anyone is a hip hop head enough to say they know every important song/album. hip hop is too vast/influential.. and if you think you do know it all you’re either frontin’, or putting too much emphasis on these VH-1 “Top Hip Hop Jawns†Countdowns..
^^ No but if You grew up in the mid 90’s and was born in the early 80’s and consider yourself a fan of hip-hop do some of the knowlegde and listen to the albums reknowned or Applauded for Greatness i.e OB4CL, Illmatic, RD, Ironman, Chronic etc etc etc
^^^ Most definitely… I did that with plenty of music. In the moment, I was jamming to the dopeness that was on the radio (yeah, radio used to play dopeness) and i wasn’t buying EVERY album that dropped… until I was able to get money myself and go back and cop joints I never fully heard.
(alot of my dubbed tapes would mess up cause I always had the cheap cassette player…)

co-sign fux @ 2:28….besides that, the sheer influence of those albums is undeniable…for real, for real, Rey, even Kanye acknowledged Tribe on “College Dropout”, when he said “they want the same feelings they got from a tribe called quest/and all they got now is this kid called West”….I mighta fucked that up, but barely…and I gotta admit, I’m a Tribe stan….the Low End Theory is my favorite album, ever, by anyone, in any genre..it’s been in my personal rotation since the eaaaaaaaaarly 90s

***i’ve heard the cork tree joint (fallout), and maybe a couple of others…I am in no way adverse to listening to non hip hop…shit, I fucks with MUSIC, in general…well, maybe not country- that shit’s annoying…lol

and Dang, I copped a lot of mid 90s rap, but I really didn’t listen to the radio.. real talk, we didn’t have one with an antenna growing up.. and pops stayed driving hoopties, so a lot of times the radio ain’t work, and if it did, he’d never have let me play rap..
Soooo MTV was my outlet and I wasn’t exactly checking for Yo! or MTV Jamz like that..
Moms let me listen to hot 97 and that’s why I stayed copping singles.. Either that or The Box and I’d hear shit like “Flow Joe” and whatever else people in Jersey City were calling up to hear.
That’s middle school.
High School was more of the same, but mom’s moved into NYC so no more car rides and it was just the LIRR for me and there went hearing some stuff like Jay or whatever cuz MTV wasn’t playing him.. What were they playing? Bad Boy, Wu-Tang, 2-Pac.. and so that’s what I was checking out.
Then XXL came along and I picked up on Bubba K and Budden and my world opened up more..
Then the internets came along and say hello to Lupe, Blu and Exile, Saigon, Pap, Joell..
So my evolution has been slow, but I’m making up for it. I missed a bunch of stuff ya’ll deem classics, but if it wasn’t delivered to me, how the fuck was I gonna hear it?

@ Ike– I like lyrics and concepts and good production. I’m sure i’d like tribe, but it’s just not a huge priority for me to check it out. As for the FOB.. I’m just using them as an example. Country can be annoying, but I think I’d dig the Emo in it.

They had a song called ‘If The Papes Come’ on the B-Side of ‘Can I Kick It’, that song was crazy. I used to have it but had to reformat my computer about 4 times since then.

%%% kinda sorta. i’m not as much expressing a distaste for the rappers.. more so that i don’t really let who they are personally skew my feeling towards the music. But i always liked that Phonte line, so maybe it influenced me. See, i show respect, unlike Lupe… that ole dirtiest backpack but thinkin’ it’s a Louis Duffle (slightly bigger than a purse[||]) type ill rhymin’ tribe lyric forgettin japanese culture lovin’ rapper!!!
