I know lupe isnt that popular but atleast he's popular among the people that really appreciate his music... Fiasco forever! This guy will always be dope as fuck
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
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.
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.
"Always speak in opposites," "This account is hacked, you know how to keep in touch. I'll never see you again, I hate you so much." I see what you did there, Lupe...

When archaeologists dig up our ruined cities thousands of years into our future by the share knowledge and wisdom in his records they would say lupe must have been one of our greatest philosopher and teacher.
"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.

He's been on a roll post-LASERS. The lyrics and instrumentals on FOTP work perfectly together to cultivate ideas and get his point across- for the most part.
As far as I'm concerned Kendrick & Lupe are the only rappers I listen to & THE BEST OF ANY GENERATION..like these are the top two..in no order..& if they ever work together I will finally be satisfied with music
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
I view this song as the resurfacing of the Lupe we fell in love with during Food & Liquor and The Cool. That abstract storytelling, thought-provoking shit. Love it!
This tune is my life in its purist form i pick and choose my battles life in a bit of a limbo however im in the trenches unlocking new abilities waiting for my momment to reappear as rhe new me
*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.
Makes me shed a tear when artists like Lupe go unheard by the masses.
Shadowsunsi please. Dudes a Grammy nominee
@@ARDG89 still extremely underrated compared to some of the lower "talent" these days
@@Shadowsunsi yep far underrated
It’s even more sad when the songs that they sample go unnoticed :/
Me too!! I had tried to share this song so many times.
9 Years Later Still A Hit🔥
The original prod is Kavinsky Nightcall... (its a sample)
It's still holds today 2022.
Underground type ish. Can’t put Lupe in a box
This is going on right now Lupe is the smartest off all time
And stillllllllllllllll........
.......
Lupe just might be the most underrated artist on planet earth! He's definitely in my Top 5! Record labels are terrified of Lupe!
His message could crumble nations.
"said it's silly how that our schools make us stupid and our jobs make us poor"
The first man to say we live in a society
This aged really well. It's getting worse.
Lupe definitely doesn’t get his appropriate roses. This song is relevant a decade later.
Rt
This track is more relevant now than ever
Only a few will ever understand this
Lupe is so underrated it hurts
Wow. I can't believe I missed this gem... Lupe is the greatest poetic storyteller to ever be overlooked in rap.
plain and simple... lupe is one of the most intelligent artists from any genre
"HELLO GORGEOUS. THIS POST IS PROBABLY BEING RECORDED."
its like a movie. the story-telling is awesome~~~
Concisely i came back today to hear this again.
@@TheSmilodon85 i come back here from time to time, always have a good experience
Lupe always brings the heat
Tbf the song is from the movie Drive
Such a timeless song my god
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.
It's like the track was made for Lupe to ride over.
This track is freaking hot. Lupe is a master tactician, a lyrical magician.
Kavinsky made the beat homie
That's nice lyricism itself
@@judastheman he directly talked about liking the lyrics man come on
THINK
Shoutout to Lupe for sampling one of the nastiest tracks ever recorded.
REST IN PEACE CHRISTOPHER DORNER
Lupe is so vicious lyrically
Kavinsky and Lupe Fiasco is pure dopeness
massive respect for my btother Lupe Fiasco
Lupe fiasco = greatest lyricist alive
SoundTrakk 2 my life ❤
Still reppin....always will be a fan of this man and his beautiful mind....FIRST AND 15th!!!!
Lup up
I know lupe isnt that popular but atleast he's popular among the people that really appreciate his music... Fiasco forever! This guy will always be dope as fuck
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
“Remember always speak in opposites. I hate you so much, it’s such a compliment”
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.
"HELLO GORGEOUS. THIS POST IS PROBABLY BEING RECORDED."
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.
this is important now 2020
Still an absolute vibe.
One of the most original pieces of music i have ever heard!
It's a cover from Kavinsky

Lupe Is The Most Creative Rapper To EVER LIVE
Brandon Thompson uh no
Ghostface
And one of the best of all time

"Always speak in opposites,"
"This account is hacked, you know how to keep in touch. I'll never see you again, I hate you so much."
I see what you did there, Lupe...
I HATE LUPE FIASCO
Dillon Whitley but its really disturbing if you consider what she said before could have been opposite too
@@nuclearthreat545 Okay
Jonathan Morales clearly you didn’t get the whole speak in opposites thing
“You love me a little bit”? :)
This has got to be one of the sickest tunes around.
Damn I love this
ThatsAPrettyLong NameYouHaveThere who gives a fuck about the hook
ThatsAPrettyLong NameYouHaveThere you're an idiot
DaCritikquee you're an idiot, then why do you think original song by Kavinsky has 40 mil. views???
I agree
@@robertpage5084 you’re a moron
This still my favorite song
'Dumb it down' explains why this has 50,000,000
(Excluding one being an original)
I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
They criticized me for it, yet they all yell "holla"

Nick Fiasco what do you think?

This was also released on a mixtape that had no advertising/marketing behind. Lupe intended for this to be heard by people who want to hear it.
2019 anyone?
2020 anyone?
@@shemboney3911 yep

Classic!!!! This should be on all streaming services….

drone strike coming to lupe fiasco's house someday
Too obvious prolly a plane crash or he gets shot up
Bun B killed it.... his flow vicariously matches the beat
No it doesn’t
I want a part 4
we need that
Oh yeah a part4 would be dope
any news of it or is Lupe still laying dormant until he has to stead in and save hiphop/rap !?
@@lord7134 hey did drop there albums though with Drogas Wave in my opinion his best work.
for the 9th time rewinding this song and i feel this so much.. got love for Lupe
had this on repeat for a minute..really spoke to me. Lu still killin it.
Still bumping in 2021 😌
He's been on a roll post-LASERS. The lyrics and instrumentals on FOTP work perfectly together to cultivate ideas and get his point across- for the most part.
Kavinsky - Nightcall?
Why thanks Colin
Oh yea we rollin buddy.
Thank you Lupie my wife is happy again. This is our love song.❤❤❤
Lupe always on a tear man I swear.
Lupe is the only reason i listen to hip hop.I FIGHT EVIL.
Why isn’t this on streaming anywhere?! Ugh! It’s my FAVORITE!
Holy IshT I love this song. Thanks bruh.
This never gets old ❤
Its my favorite movie of all time
CLASSIC AGAIN BY LUPE! SLEPT ON !
Holy fuck the nostalgia, will always love Lupe!
As far as I'm concerned Kendrick & Lupe are the only rappers I listen to & THE BEST OF ANY GENERATION..like these are the top two..in no order..& if they ever work together I will finally be satisfied with music
We still hoping it happens
I wanna show where its dark but have no fear conversations to somebodys that's eyes are open
Still a banger
Drive + Lupe = Infinite gold.
I can appreciate a very good song! Thanx Lupe!
Very addicting song..
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
Thanks for uploading this bro. Great piece of art indeed.
"They're talkin' about you, boy. But you're still the same."
This song makes me think of Mr. Robot. Would be perfect for that show.
after 9 years of listening this song, still thinking about the text. We can call it art :)
I love how i don't have to reply to someone ignorant when another lupe follower will do it for me, respect to you brother, seriously. Beat me too it
unfortunately the music in this song will be better known as American Terrorist 3 by Lupe Fiasco instead of Nightcall by Kavinsky..
Wow i had to grow up more in order to realize that he sampled kavinsky 😆
They should listen to this song next after this one... Lupe Fiasco - Something That I Never Had
I wonder what Kavinsky thinks of this
hit the replay button atleast 6 times already. cant wait to listen to it in my car.
#2021 MESSAGE‼
Just AMAZING...

This is exactly what Hiphop is about! Dope piece
Electric !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2021 November bout to be December and this shit here,stays on my playlist and get play DAILY love lupe.was like 12 when I found lupe. Now 22
I view this song as the resurfacing of the Lupe we fell in love with during Food & Liquor and The Cool. That abstract storytelling, thought-provoking shit. Love it!
Lupe fiasco and Immortal technique should work together and make a sick as album about the truth.
Forever perfection.
KILLED IT LUPE!
Real lyrics lupe had so many bangers
Lupe Fiasco iz amazing. This song iz powerful and great, and the movie Drive iz a terrific film.
We need a part 4
None of his songs like this are on any big music platform
Unfortunately
the beat is from the song night call which is used in the movie drive
Studying Lupe in class. Year2033
This tune is my life in its purist form i pick and choose my battles life in a bit of a limbo however im in the trenches unlocking new abilities waiting for my momment to reappear as rhe new me
Nightcall is awesome. Lupe is awesome. Nightcall + Lupe = Dopeness. Gambino is swag. Nightcall + Lupe + Gambino = Swag+ Dopeness
i wouldnt say lupe is changing, he just evolving. hes always gonna have the same message but hes just gonna have different ways of sharing them
*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.
And stillllllllllllllll.... UNDISPUTED
Here just wishing this was on Spotify or Apple Music :(

Remember always speak in opposites.
