lupe fiasco glory

[@nemac23]

This was one of my favourite songs in 2006 and still gives me chills, simply amazing.

[@kobyco32]

the chorus is basically sayin what is my glory and fame and fortune gona do for the world.

[@Nr4747]

Haha, well, "best" is certainly opinion-based, but it is amazing. My absolute favorite Lupe song is still - and probably forever will be - "Theme Music to a Drive By", closely followed by "Lupe the Killer", the wordplay alone in those songs is simply mindblowing and I also love the musical composition on both.

[@JT_SOG_513]

Lupe Fiasco ft Opal Staples: "Glory" 1/15 Part II: Revenge of the Nerds

[@SPdot05]

The fact that Lupe's best song and probably top 5 songs ever only has 137,000 views is blasphemy

[@ChristianFoleyRaps]

madlip flipped this so well! on his latest series album

[@nicholas4690]

Honestly man Lupe is the best to ever do it. When I think of Hip Hop as an art, it's something that people will debate and talk about what it means for a long time. Something like a picasso or da vinci painting. This is exactly what Lupe does...its honestly scary how nice this kid actually is...

[@r0ze1h]

where forth has my glory gone.

[@NastysAVillian]

this is the best song ive ever heard

[@GhettoArabSage]

Unfortunately... I must agree. Hurt Me So... I don't think I could ever find a song similar to it. Ever

[@Ginga]

A man amongst boys in terms of lyrical ability.

[@solidproof8021]

Appreciate you finding that song glory my dude. lupe is the man and the whole world needs to know that this kid is extra extra nice!!

[@solidproof8021]

Lupe is the future! This song is some of his best work,keep doing your thing my dude.

[@Pepsicofool]

long live Lupe... thank god for blessing us with this brother

[@NIJ1990]

lupe's glory will never be gone

[@Jungz.88]

This is one of Lupe's DEEPEST songs. I dont think most of you are registering what he is talkin about in this song.

[@JTheill]

best hip-hop artist out there. don't even try to deny that.

[@jesseclifton]

ive never heard someone describe the state of hip hop so well. an he takes so much pride in what he stands for, thats why he is the best.

[@purplesilverplatinum]

I always used to skip this song. But when I actually listened to it, I got hooked. The dude is deep. Love it!

[@24TheCool24]

this is by far one of the best songs i heard. but any new Lupe song that comes out is the best

[@221ddj]

Yeah, this is one of the many reasons why Lupe has been in my top 10 for the past 6 years. All of his mix tapes before F&L cemented him as one of my favorite rappers. His studio albums haven't let me down...even Lasers has a few jewels on it. This is one of his sickest songs when you break down the technical aspects of it.

[@caveman1903]

tightest beat to this track

[@sunriseast77]

this song came out a while back, but lupe is so ahead of his time it will be tight for years to come.

[@JDiction]

yep this what i'm talkin bout lupe always keep that smooth vibe goin on word play is incredible

[@PumpedGlock94]

lupe is sayin that the truth has no limits, if u drop the second T in Truth and look at it backwards it spells hurt which means that the truth hurts just look at the pain it can cause. You understand

[@russellrobinson3308]

food and liquor 2 is freaking awesome

[@Nr4747]

Partly agree. For me, it feels like Lupe is trying to hard to be a symbol of . . . something - too much "Rage against the Machine" for his own good. Some of his songs are still incredibly strong, though, like ALL of his mixtape songs (download "Enemy of the State" and "Friend of the People" if you haven't yet, they are officially free) and also "ITAL (Roses)", "Audubon Ballroom" and "Braveheart".

[@DivineWind]

wow! one of my fav songs "Never let your heart reflect the conditions in which its stained" thats my fav line from this song ...lupe da beast

[@JosephO75]

@KoldShadow dude, nice Big Pun track. I like the feel of Madlibs more. Lupe did a good job but I'd love to see Lupe work with Madlib.

[@Phantom3421]

this just may be that one lupe song to rule them all...he kills it ..lupe's definately making me change my greatest emcees list..

[@legitballer14]

he shoulda put this on food n liquor

[@TheSamSummersShow]

@PumpedGlock94 Isn't that quote from "minority report"?

[@plb13wars]

What the name of the sample used for this song????

[@jebustavera8132]

This song is powerful

[@musakposowa]

If you don't give Lupe his props you are loosing it. This dude is crazy on the mic.

[@Ra1n0nY0u]

this song absolutley NEEDS to be heard and undersood by alot more people than 135,000

[@kethegreat]

lupe is the greatest rapper that ever live i dont care what anyone say

[@lupe115]

the song arms race was about wars and aphoristic behavior.

[@nqaud]

I LUV IT the message is absolutly beatiful

[@djsumfin1]

oh yeah check out immortal technique track titled "you never know"

[@JoeKim09]

what does tht exactly mean, to look at the letter "t" upside down? please furthur explain... I am very confused from this song, Lupe is mos def an amazing lyricist, his words are sheer poetry and can relate to all... His music can easily be considered inspirational and hit top of charts.

[@MrEBRIGHTER]

Check out "Reef The Lost Cauze Blood Pressure" - I think he has the best version.

[@windmillingman]

wow! Lupe deep man!

[@PowShredder801]

This song, IMO, is lupe at his best...He continues ONE rhyme scheme throughout a 4.5 minute song, while telling a thorough story. While being limpid in the message throughout the entire song...... In my honest opinion, This man and NaS are the greatest lyrical rappers of all time.

[@W3UnIT3]

Lupe still keeping Hip Hop alive

[@Stephy1718]

One of my favorites..

[@dangerboy123]

does anybody have this song?

[@sbg75]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!! lupe is da man and i like the pic u used still

[@jesseclifton]

@LedgeFLA what mixtape was it on?

[@homeofnobles]

yes u did... drop the 2nd T.

[@Bo6us]

Thank god Lupe said it himself, he would never use auto-tune.

[@willensix]

the truth is limitless in it's range

[@brotherV09]

I agree, but he said he wanted F&L to be a happy album. He wanted to save the darker stuff for The Cool.

[@MarkoAnd1]

just perfect...

[@russellrobinson3308]

have you heard food and liquor 2 yet?

[@immaking1]

What song is this beat from?

[@NIJ1990]

its about what u put on da record n the message that he's givin to us and he's an excellent storyteller but not only that what many people dont pay attention 2 is his lyrics and his rhyme scheme when u listen to him closely u can tell the amount of intelligence n experience makin his albums

[@msuaeronautics13]

this is the shit...love the lines at the end

[@JosephO75]

@KoldShadow I would imagine a talented MC and not a rapper would bless Madlib's track well. Check out the Beat Konducta series (instrumentals), Madvillain with MF DOOM, and what got me hooked was The Unseen by Quasimoto. He even did an album with Talib Kweli but I never listened to it. Lupe is a good artists ultimately. I do like his material although i did not at first; i was never into the skateboard shit.

[@heyho0334]

@jesseclifton it not just hip hop, its the world in general.

[@magikmr100]

"In the land of the Blind the man with 1 eye is the king"-nas anuit coeptis

[@Ra1n0nY0u]

@KoldShadow i feel you, when people degrade lupe like that it irks the HELL out of me. but as much as it irks you you, have to realize when you argue with ignorant people,call our their race, it makes them hate you and lupe even more, makes them more hard headed and extremely hard to get your point across. in layman's terms you have to baby them =/

[@ReFoRmEdCoCo]

i love this song seriously

[@GreatOne254ii]

This song is about the glory of black people in this country.About how our glory and sense of community and identity have been perverted by record labels and the media. He also talks about how to prepare yourself when presenting yourself to those in power, and also about the fact that there are no real black leaders in training and we still think back to the 'kings' Malcolm and Martin. but we've lost our way.

[@djsumfin1]

listen 2 little brother dey r bad! talib kweli, mos def, common, er....more 2 come....

[@TheReal12]

Its on Revenge of the Nerd. I came here just to see ur comments cuz I know how power the lyrics in this song are. Its nice that u all feel tha same way. Or the majority. Thank U. [Im not Lupe]

[@UkStreetrat]

Man i bin a fan of lupes for a while and the guys atention 2 detail in his lyrics is sumthin inspiring..so FnF keep it real....n lets c i we can put UK hip hop on the map 4 rrreal! peace

[@Bigpimping7]

"The truth is limitless in it's range" a 1 sentence some up for this entire song. He dropped nothing but knowledge and made beautiful music with a universal meaning, thus, all the different interpretations. The truth applies to any and all things so its natural people connect the song to something they're familiar with, its still applies, there is no "correct" interpretation. FNF up, Hip-Hop ain't dead just yet.

[@msuaeronautics13]

drop a T -->> TRUH and look at it in reverse -->> HURT

[@Punjabispitta]

and his verse on "Life" is his greatest verse imo, same with "ghetto story". both amazing songs, but I prefer any lupe song from 06 honestly lol

[@LedgeFLA]

this is 2 sick for a mixtape

[@JAYE94611]

where do u get this song its not on his album

[@FortunateSoul]

PLEASE let me get the link to that!

[@JosephO75]

@KoldShadow Madlib has more of a raw feel to it. I just saw how I posted "lupe is average to me" 2 years ago. My opinion has changed, Lupe has put in work and I like him.

[@xiceman191]

i agree with you on how lupe and papoose are the best out but there is one dude who i think are on their level and that dude is called Kenn starr i'll post his cd on here and u can tell me if u agree.

[@519Chawk420]

FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE

[@JoeKim09]

Ahh i see yes that helped alot, thank you for the explanation, i appretiate it...

[@abmthe3rd]

the savior of hip hop. too bad he's only gon make 3 cds

[@nicksiha]

download link?

[@keneilash]

this is a nice song lupe has crazy lyrics man

[@gotsteeze92]

naaa bishop g is a former member of 1st and 15th. he good as hell but he departed but hes still heavely allied with 1st and 15th

[@kobyco32]

anyway where can i download this

[@CipherQ]

that was the craziest part of the song

[@EazySPM]

She's sayin "Where oh Where's my glory gone"

[@scarecrovv]

madlib sample too

[@toad20toad20]

1) Mom and dads money can buy equipment but it cant buy skill, sound or an ear for music. 2) I would assume then that you do not like Kanye West or Madlib, being that their introduction into music was not so humble 3) You can flip a sample a million ways. If you would like to disagree please explain: 'Don't Worry If There's a Hell Below We're All Gonna Go,' The Amen Break, anything by 'The Meters,' Lyn Collin's 'Think About It,' anything by James Brown.... Don't hate just because you cant create

[@AdraindePanama]

@ChickletmanPawn quoted from Rap Genius.com

[@swordrabbit]

this song is the fyest song he done

[@gammathagod]

Lupe is one of the truest.

[@derspenc]

isnt that dumbing it down. Making it less complex so people can understand

[@PumpedGlock94]

@SixRonin i kno but what other rapper would even quote something so real...none other than Nasty NAS

[@CalmCoolTeezy]

yea

[@Daycounter]

No Complicated Beat to over shadow Lupe and fuck it's DOPE as he11...Gotta hear Madlib's Beat...

[@boombapaddict]

@MortenTheMartian def from another planet!

[@EarBudz123]

ya i think madlibs beat is better but these lyrics are seriously one of the greatest!!!!

[@jgoss89]

I miss this Lupe, back when he made great great music. His music is so average now. He's still a great rapper but his song composition has taken a back seat to putting overt messages in his music.

[@YungBandit]

so true!!soo so true!!!

[@ThisIzWeezyF]

why is it ur least fav?

[@Nr4747]

Lupe is probably one of those artists who are/were just too far ahead of their time, I'm pretty sure, in 20-30 years, Lupe's lyrics will be dissected in advanced English courses at school.

[@REMIXIT718]

@Hallsey8 3 wow i havent listend in 1
