Lupe Fiasco - Atomic Misphilosophy (lyrics)

[@queenofdarkness3341]

most underrated rapper and one of the best lyricists of all time. who's with me?

[@joshuaparker3454]

yes it's truth

[@hiphopheaven]

underrated but not the most.

[@yugiohxdxd]

Mozart Mozart who's the most

[@hiphopheaven]

The Last Emperor.

[@xxyy1296]

Lu my favorite artist in any genre ever but I have to respect someone who says emp

[@kennethnelsonjr1605]

They should have played this song during Oppenheimer.

[@Dipole__]

Wow, that actually sounds perfect..

[@lawrencesmith2572]

Agreed

[@bsmi1361]

lupe's approaching legendary status at this point

[@phantom2k10]

+bsmi1361 he doesn't get the shine he deserves and he'll probably never be recognised like he should be because his music is not the type of music the elite want pushed.

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

Well he has classic mixtape and albums, and I personally think Tetsuo & Youth is the best album of the year...so yeah he's a legend. Plus Lupe has one big advantage many rappers don't...he raps about an insane amount of content. From rape, to black oppression, to single motherhood...no topic is off guard from him.

[@stevencross6189]

+bsmi1361 he's there bruh... it's just whether or not he gets his due

[@Jason78857]

To me, Lupe's been solidified as a legend after The Cool!! I can't stand how he doesn't get more recognition. He's Definitely one of the best to EVER RAP!!

+phantom2k10 he'll be recognised once he dies, and people realised what they missed

[@devvv4616]

"Technologically fanatic racial socio- Economic faux-intellectual fucking nonsense" that's the most intelligent insult i've ever heard lol

[@thebeluvdtrex]

Lupe Leaving Atlantic is prolly the greatest thing to ever happen to the nigga.

[@JEC2390]

+TheBeLuvdTRex Right? He can actually be himself in his music instead of Atlantic having a vice on what he should make.

[@josephlambertiii2407]

+TheBeLuvdTRex probably the greatest thing to happen for us as well

[@larryjake7783]

+TheBeLuvdTRex Man who are telling. People may beef about who is the best Artists and the best rapper; but for me Lupe is definitely my go to. I understand their are older rappers that are better. I listen to them too but this dude was the first rapper to get me into real rap and to make me appreciate the art. Every time I am stressed and feeling like going back to bad habits, his music, almost anyone of his songs (minus a few from Laser) bring me back to peace of mind. I can think and function again. Music appeals deeply to my soul and when it is in trouble, I go to Hip hop...and his is usually the first I hit up.

[@phsycokidx000]

Lmao we've been waiting for this since they pushed back LupEND

[@dezzcarter5987]

lmaoo true!

[@spaceepandaa]

"The melted lunchbox of a disintegrated girl Dogs on fire, mosquitos, flies, and squirrels Men, women, and children have their bones cooked to ash, And their shadows, burned into the ground from the flash" THE IMAGERY 😳😩

[@Theohybrid]

Imagine that, an atomic bomb so hot it has YOUR SHADOW baked in to the ground. YOUR SHADOW. Its the absence of light, even that's affected. That bomb was indeed NOOO joke.

[@demetriusbryson1706]

I pray that our Brother Lupe Fiasco creates his version of Nas’ “Lost Tapes”....his underground & unreleased Tracks are far far greater than greats greatest....Peace To Our G.L.O.A.T....!!! Our Brother just recently celebrated his 39th Birthday....Peace and Blessings

[@nWo_remiix]

this song & his album tetsuo & youth is the greatest pieces of music ever written

[@ThePeace4life]

How could you not love Lupe, he's a lot smarter and politically active than most celebrities out there

[@laniellarsen4414]

True, listening to this song makes me think back to the start of covid19 when i was at a ramada hotel. The movie contagion and outbreak are so factual to real life spread of infectious contagiousness. He is so sick wit it.

[@jayyy1677]

Don’t care about him being politically active or smart,his music slaps and he seems like a cool guy

[@undergroundvagos8481]

That's why some don't love him ;)

[@Mayaya27]

Im so thankful that Lupe exists. Honestly, theres not many rappers that speak of truth and corruption like he does, while of course, making the music catchy and of great quality. Favorite rapper for years, still to this day :)

[@farzammoh]

listen to immortal technique and Lowkey they're fire too 👌👌👌

[@Mayaya27]

@Farzam Hey thanks! Ill definitely check them out! :)

[@cristofernolasco8450]

Check out.... Gemstones - fire in my heart :)

[@Khrowme]

I agree; definitely in the same genre as Lu. Lowkey sampled "Words I Never Said" for one of his tracks, which a friend told me was banned in the States for a time. Guess they can't handle these truths!

[@donkaluminadi1]

Mayaya if you're looking for deep shit check out akala, British rapper/grime artist, he goes deep af, while keeping the track and his flows on point, especially his fire in the booths 👌

[@Juvonjqmes]

Lupe been saving rap for soo long. Definetly the best muslim MC/ lyricist in the music industry. His undeniably untouchable in hip hop. Period.

[@jessepietro3329]

"Under the auspices that war will be rendered harmless, and everlasting peace will be in reach if we just bomb shit." People dont understand how genius Lupe is

[@ronyventura9301]

Crazy how he makes it all ryhme together.

[@r3b3lvegan89]

Beautiful minds

[@LyricalBreakdown20]

Nas was asked which one rapper gave him chills and he responded, Lupe without hesitation. That says everything

[@rayjones2583]

Lupe knows that humanity is circling the drain.But credit to him for trying to wake people up.Even the ones that have been turned into zombies. A glimpse of hope. Peace and love to all the good people of the world.

[@laniellarsen4414]

True

[@Hideotic]

Ameen.

[@michaelbarnes2126]

It's crazy alot of his most best lyrical displays are just throw away tracks. Anyway this song is incredibly relative to today!!!!

[@BRobMint]

Lyricism level on this song = over 9000

[@sameerbaloch8888]

u should listen to lupe fiasco Dots and lines

[@diasporael7563]

Sameer Baloch same level

[@thisisbliss777]

he flatly refuses to dumb it down

[@kian26master]

nigga the best that ever done it. Hence why he get no recognition. He goes to high!! *Flames*

[@jtrave23]

I feel like level 9000 is way too low lol .. this man is unreal

[@rubenrosario2121]

How is lupe not the best rapper of this generation his words are genuinely painted for the understanding bless this man wit the knowledge hes giving this language aint nothing to play wit

[@MultiSpacehead]

Ruben Rosario true indeed

[@laniellarsen4414]

True

[@undergroundvagos8481]

I can't answer that because he IS lol

[@AyyOhhhh]

Simple. It is because he is,hopefully you’ve heard most of his older stufff especially the Fahrenheit 1/15 part 1 ave part 2 revenge of the nerds. Also, came out with friend of the people and Lupe the Jedi and my all time fsboriteoooooo the one. The only. Not mixtape but actually album…………. FOOD AND LIQUOR!!!!

[@betacancri1476]

Lupe is quickly becoming my all time favorite

[@kingoso6700]

Some Guy what was his last two albums? im getting them mixed up

[@kingoso6700]

thanks I forgot all about Food & Liquor havnt heard Tetsuo & Youth

[@colgua5136]

+Enyeto Ángel DeJesús Lucas Diego Rodriguez Tetsuo & Youth is very good especially the track Mural.

[@kingoso6700]

+colen guadalupe I couldn't find the actual album most of it was covers or edited if you find the link to the album so I can listen to it mind linking me?

[@Khusuke]

[@bmullen1]

Whos listening to this in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine? Lupe is leagues above the rest.

[@chevongrant3589]

Son. Its scary.

[@hudsonsizwe1924]

Hits different under the circumstances of COVID-19 pandemic 😷 Lupe way ahead...

[@r3b3lvegan89]

PLANdemic. You not listening to Lupe deep enough. Peace

[@blacksage81]

I'm upset that "those that matter" don't acknowledge the talent of this man, however those that truly matter to a musician, their fans already have acknowledged him.

[@Enheritance]

lupe has become my top fav rapper ! he speaks truth more than alot of these rappers these days.

[@samuellee2107]

Brother had me hooked after I got introduced to The Cool

[@LorettasOnly]

How did I miss this one, so I clicked on it I was instantly hooked. I have to download this one so I can play through my car speakers. Another dope song by one of hip hop's future legends.

[@samuelhawthorne8137]

Lupe is that samurai that stays quite the whole movie then when all is lost he pulls that sword out and leaves his enemies bloody and amazed. Goat level

[@Trades_by_Mats]

4 years later he called his album Samurai

[@undergroundvagos8481]

​@@Trades_by_Matsbeat me to it lol

[@sandazonke3128]

The beat makes me feel like I'm floating in the air & the lyrics get me high. A natural high. This is Martial Arts in HipHop!

[@smoovehomie]

Journey the Truth Exactly!

[@JCM311]

I love this song. I've listened to it like a million times. And with Fallout 4 coming out in a week, it's the perfect song to get me even more excited for it lol.

[@stewartops]

This kid is the real deal...one of the very few out there spittin real...beat's crazy!!....Shout out to Lupe!!!

[@TheSmilodon85]

History lesson in 3 verses thank you.

[@eyezachary]

Thank you Lupe..

[@acethetoolman1537]

Man, I been listening to Lupe for years. Dude is mad talented. I dont know of any modern rappers that can speak to the issues of todays society and keep the flow so trill. Hope he hangs in there despite the mass group think population flocking to the auto tune wanna be rappets. Can't wait to go to his concert in New Orleans.

[@thepoeticgenius1986]

Lupe been the greatest, beast...idk how I missed this one but glad I stumbled across it. On repeat. #RealRap

[@amuurican]

Lupe is a legend and one of the greatest MC's of all time

[@TopNoTchVSOP]

Lupe' Fiasco and Elzhi need to do a collabo along together and with Jon Connor too!

[@TokenBlackman7]

Lupe's lyricism... It's over nine-THOOOOUUUSSSAAAAAAAAAAND!!

[@ayorkm22]

"Everlasting peace would be in reach if we just bomb shit" damn..

[@K5.444]

just too ahead of his time to be truly appreciated by the masses...but maybe someday soon

[@queenofdarkness3341]

lupe isnt just good because of lyricism, or great rapping either, his rap actually had meaning or hidden messages thats why hes great

[@dowjamin26]

Probably one of the best songs I've ever heard lupe is a legend

[@joshualittlejohn72]

This fits perfectly giving the current state of affairs

[@chukwumau.5696]

We need more Lupe in the music industry.

[@estevanmontoya7387]

lupe is on a level with his lyricism and wisdom i aspire to reach in time .

[@VV-ig1po]

Still bumping this 2019 till forever

[@DesignerReviewz]

Every president should be required to listen to this during their inauguration

[@standowner6979]

Why? It's not going to change anything

[@Guhsteh]

The lyricism on display here is ridiculous, specifically the imagery.

[@DakinRinone]

Most underrated rapper of our time. Lyrically and all his different styles, hes just as good as ANYONE else.

[@GhettoArabSage]

Everything is a project. and Life is a test. Lupe is Goat.

[@JJay-yn6zl]

101,529 views? and Future gets 100,000,000 views. We really live in a "Dumb it Down" society. Rappers like Lupe Fiasco deserves to be paid attention to. its poetry and lessons to develop minds into free thinkers and prosperous actions. While other rappers are twisting society thoughts and dumbing the human mind, Lupe Fiasco and a couple of other rappers and musicians are powering minds for the best. Lupe Fiasco for president!!!!!

[@jstiles1659]

How can anyone hate lupe and his music because he's definitely top five lyrical 🐐

[@gabrielcardenas1775]

goosebumps with them opening words...

[@asadoshakur]

true story: I'm having an existential crisis due to how good Lupe Fiasco is ((: :))

[@EsDAL77]

One of the best tracks to ever enter my ears, mind and soul. Lupe one of the best!

[@Italia543]

This song is beautiful

[@wisama7091]

"Creating epidemic just to see if it can be." Literally 2020.

[@snikeziwevendle1468]

So no one gonna talk about how smooth that “1500 or nothin” intro tag was?? Ayyyt. Amazing as usual from Lupe 🤌🏾

[@dreskee8422]

Thank you for the clarification Wasalu. I've been studying this song for years, however, I was only able to put together pieces of chunks and bits. Now I can thoroughly grasp certain concepts you were able to touch on in this 'excerpt' of your body of work. It's music like this that is cherished forever. It reminds me of 'beach chair' both versions are deep and are what I consider Picasso' of the music industry.😎

[@tyronebrown1750]

NEVER GET ENOUGH OF LUPE. HE'S THE TRUTH!!!!

[@DZR-qo2px]

This song hits different right now

[@lunaflamed]

Timely words... today more relevant than ever.

Reminiscent of The Cool. I'm lovin' this track. The Cool still is my favorite Lupe album yet, although I haven't heard Tetsuo & Youth yet....haven't had the money to buy it yet.

[@olgierdolo5510]

Damn, this is brilliant!

[@acethetoolman1537]

This dude is so talented. His lyrics are so far in the future most people are just too far in the present to even get it. I was looking forward to his last 3 albums, but PEACE out Lupe. Glad I saw him at HOB NO. (Had a dream in New Orleans......)

[@inrickphilogene5409]

Lupe fiasco is very illuminated singer and wise. There is a part in the bible talking about a people being God chosen people. wake up, wake up chosen you are the compass of the cosmos. The entire world is waiting on you, seek your rightly place among all the nations, lead all the blinds with the torch and the spirit of the most high.

True, listening to this song makes me think back to the start of covid19 when i was at a ramada hotel. The movie contagion and outbreak are so factual to real life spread of infectious contagiousness. He is so sick wit it lyrically. Man's way of creation is the biggest arrogance of the human ego. For men to deliberately create a destructive virus just to see if it can unfold and be existence is so factual to our militaries biochemists power for control is astonishing. It's amazing how this song speaks volumes for the people of our world today. Definitely, more than a protestors favorite campaign rally song.
