    I've said it before, and I don't think I'll ever stop saying it; Lupe Fiaso is beyond amazingly talented. Lupe is big, but even after Lasers released, he's STILL underrated with all the talent he has. I love the way his flow is. I love the way you have to know things in order to understand what he's talking about. Unlike other people, he makes sense & knows exactly what he's talking about. He is the only mainstream rapper I will even listen to.

    This was, and is a smart song. He mentioned places that a number of artsy African-Americans talk about with a variety of people; especially, if those people like manga, Anime, or bits of eitha' Brazilian or French fashions. Some underground artists in America might still jam to these lyrics. I do. I humbly thank God that Lupe opened doors, for others to feel less scared to talk about a few otha' languages/places.
