Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist III

[@Shadowsunsi]

Makes me shed a tear when artists like Lupe go unheard by the masses.

[@JohnBoyJoy]

Shadowsunsi please. Dudes a Grammy nominee

[@Shadowsunsi]

@@JohnBoyJoy still extremely underrated compared to some of the lower "talent" these days

plain and simple... lupe is one of the most intelligent artists from any genre

I really like Lupe's take on this song. Of course I love Kavinsky's original version too, but I love Lupe's rhymes and flow. Good stuff.

[@oneskinnyhonky]

It's like the track was made for Lupe to ride over.

Lupe is so vicious lyrically

massive respect for my btother Lupe Fiasco

[@Vherb69]

The whole song gets a little more interesting if you try and decipher it all in opposites. I know that’s probably not his intention, but a lot of parts make a more vivid picture In opposites

[@acaughtfox]

“Remember always speak in opposites. I hate you so much, it’s such a compliment”

[@AxeMurderer24]

Kavinsky and Lupe Fiasco is pure dopeness

[@JohnBoyJoy]

REST IN PEACE CHRISTOPHER DORNER

[@Gavernty]

Man wakes up after going through a life changing experience (war), begins to question life and its purpose. Starts putting the pieces together of all the fucked up things that people never question. Decides to go to the higher power, knowing that they will probably turn him away, which it did. Shows that race is not of importance, the man in charge cares about no one but himself. Man feels lost and hopeless.

[@wiiboii16]

Lupe fiasco = greatest lyricist alive

[@aadd8459]

Worst part about this song is that if you show it to anybody that isn't politically aware they will think that YOU are going to become a terrorist because you question the government.

[@dailynewsgrind6116]

"HELLO GORGEOUS. THIS POST IS PROBABLY BEING RECORDED."

[@KingRoman_313]

aa dd Nah, worst part is that this song ends

For real. I used to get that when a family friend came to stay at my house and I sang Intruder Alert.

[@ElectricChaplain]

"I'm going to drive you through the night, down the hills". One can know the true meaning of light only when one has experienced darkness. Man can only ascend if he is aware of what is below him. Hegel's master/slave dialectic proved best that no one is truly free when some men are masters and others slaves. Nash equilibrium showed that, in a world where everyone is out for their own self, everyone is screwed of their fair share.

Lupe is more dope than any of your so called "artists" who spend all day long singing about love... boyfriends, girlfriends, blar blar and all the trash and insignificant things. Lupe at least uses his talent to give out a message with meaning. Your musicians are stale

*Always speak in opposites* You are a great human being, and your command of the English language and general demeanor lets everyone around you know just how much of a well educated gentleman you are. Everyone loves you. Nah, just yanking your cervix. On a serious note, good to see a Lupe fan like you on here. I can tell you are devoted since you happen to know his ancestors are from Niger. Props on your devotion, my brother.

Lupe Fiasco iz amazing. This song iz powerful and great, and the movie Drive iz a terrific film.

[@JSmithVEVO]

@Chrindoflip | Ah, OK. You asked for 3 tracks in the past two years so I listed some, haha. I didn't know we were using FOTP as a gauge of some sort (bear in mind the FOTP version of Joaquin Phoenix is vastly different than the older version). And I think the jury should be out on judging FOTP against EOTS, which we've had much longer. Plus EOTS was a demonstration of flows and concepts atop EXTREMELY popular beats. The beat selection on FOTP was more-or-less obscure.

[@EpicTimeTraveler]

@Fabijanson Several reasons. Mixtape tracks are generally made from sampled music, which is why mixtapes are free. Plus sampling isn't bad as long as credit is given and copyright claims are sorted out. Just enjoy the music.

@missedagain Most people who search for Lupe Fiasco were probably searching for him to listen to him rap. More importantly this was released as a mixtape a format known to hip hop fans as one where instrumental tracks are borrowed. As for not changing the track, I consider adding lyrics change but I'm guessing you aren't a rap fan... Anyway I liked his flow and the overall story.

[@SuperBearMan16]

This song is amazing! His lyrics actually scare me in this song: I love it! Err this might sound like a stupid question but is there an American Terrorist II? Because I know there is an American terrorist 1&3 but I've never found a 2. Anyone help?

Kanye seems like he been speaking in opposites lately. And he’s tight with lupe 👀. People think Kanye crazy but I think he’s waking up to this Hollywood shit

[@1SuperBryan]

Beats do not take away from anything in the song, This is what he wanted to do and he did it He is still able to get he's message through to anyone who listens even with a "Shitty" beat. Lasers wasn't the best of Lupe and Hopefully he will not do the same with Food & Liquor 2!
