Official**Lupe Fiasco's The Cool**Thread

[arhymingape12]

I got this from Lupe's board and thought everything that was said could be true

This just hit me... Since "my cool young history" I've been thinkin about lupe as the cool and check these lines in superstar

quote:

Yeah, uh
A fresh cool young Lu'
Tryna' catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Wanna' believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?
Well ya' name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?
YOU! The more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you, you come too
And then it hit me
Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe
Too much of a new comer and too un-cool


He starts the song by saying A Fresh Cool Young Lu... that must tell us something...
By now some of us know he's talkin about standin outside of heaven not bein on the guestlist like heaven is a club... The Cool wasn't let in to heaven cuz he was too cool "Hustler for death, no heaven for a gangsta..."... We know how lupe likes to turn things around.. Dear summer - Dear Fall... So when he says I'm too un-cool is he really talkin about too cool? ... Also he is trying on the cool album to make those things that are cool uncool... So is lupe trying to say the cool is too un cool?

also been thinkin about pen & the needless

quote:

Then make u "feel it" Like I mispronounced Filet,
On second thought, I can't make u fill it
Like u diggin' ya own grave, 'less u can Kill Bill it
A night of the living passed the wait



We all no what happened in kill bill.. she punched herself out of her own grave... What did the cool do?
"A night of the living passed the wait" is he talkin about the zombie hustler???


What do you think of this?

EDIT: I was just on HHG and some guy was talking about the cover looking like it said "the life of lupe fiasco". i see "life" and "of" would be on top of the "s" in fiasco. but maybe i'm reaching a little to hard

 

[neptunebeats187]

I think I am gonna need some more evidence, but that would be something tho. There are so many like unanswered questions about his characters, and I don'tthink we'll receive those answers until we get ahold of "The Cool." I am sure dudes are gonna be analyzing that like crazy...

 

[young dr0]

Lupe is my dude. He is notches beyond almost everyone.

 

[jefffort5]

i dl an hr long interview with him and dude was dropping some knowledge...he was talking about how Madonna just signed a 143 million dollar deal, and how itsnot just for records, its for a whole lot more...and he was saying you gotta have something more to the music than just the music itself, and he might turn the"cool" thing into a movie, a book, or comic or something....dude puts alof of effort into his work

 

[chi79th]

it would be super hype if the
whole cool thing went futher.
i dont know about a movie but
im tryna see somethin

I have a feeling by the end of the third album we won't need to see it beacuse we will feel it. This is like a comic book through the wire.

 

[ekimman]

lupe is that dude
his word play is the sickest in da game right now

 

[wwsyndicate]

Can we get an official Lupe thread?

the music forum is like

LUPE, GHOSTFACE, WEEZY, LUPE, JAY-Z, RAEKWON FT GHOSTFACE, WEEZY, JOE BUDDEN, LUPE, GHOSTFACE
WEEZY, LUPE, JAY-Z, killa cam, WEEZY, GHOSTFACE, JAY-Z. damn

 

[crank lucas]

Lupe is hip hop!!! cop the sig!

LUPE for LIFE

 

[hamez3]

i hope the cool thing goes on further as far as music go. i know he is gona have a radio show and that stuff but i really like the concept and the feeling ofthe songs so i hope he develops it a lot more. but then again i havnt heard the other songs on the new disc about it yet.

 

[lowrider713]

i def see "life" and "of" so it could be just "life of fiasco"
but really lupe's on a whole other level

 

[everydaykicks]

lupe is that dude
his word play is the sickest in da game right now
i agree

 

[thahunger4more]

Yea we need a Lupe Thread...

and I think "The Cool" isn't necessarily Lupe it's a generalization of youth in America

 

[23brunswick dragons23]

Lupe is the man

 

[duckie44]

light years ahead of everyone, when it comes to lyricism, dude cant be touched, takes the crown, hands down

 

[foampositepro]

agreed with "the cool" being a generalization of Americas youth.

 

[twol8]

also maybe when he says lupe fiasco's the cool. the contraction could mean lupe fiasco IS the cool instead of a possesive contraction

 

[clarkkent415]

It's taking FOREVER for the album to come out.


I can not wait.

 

[uncle ice]

concert in NYC is sold out, I am pissed!

Lyrics from "The Coolest"

Verse One
I love the Lord,
But sometimes it's like that I love me more
I love the peace
And I love the war
I love the seas
And I love the shore
No love for no beach
Baby, that's loyal
But she doesn't see, therefore I spoil
I trick, I fall
Run up in raw
I love her, with all my heart
Every vein, every vessel,
Every bullet lodged
With every flower that I ever took apart
She said- that she would give me greatness,
Status, placement above the others
My face would grace covers
Of the magazines of the hustlers (hustler magazine)
Paper, the likes of which that I had never seen
Her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams
The purpose of our scene,
The obscene obsession for the bling
She would be my queen,
I could be her king
Together, she would make me cool
And we would both rule, forever,
And I would never feel pain
And never be without pleasure, ever, again
And if the rain stops,
And everything's dry
She would cry
Just so I can drink the tears from her eyes
She'll teach me how to fly
Even cushion my fall
If my engines ever stall (wordplay bathroom Stall)
And I plummet (wordplay Plumb it) from the sky
But she will keep me high
And if I ever die
She would commission monuments on her bosom
To hum
Or maybe she'd retire as well
A match made in Heaven set the fires in Hell
And I'll be
Coolest _ what
Coolest _ what
Coolest _ what
Coolest _ what

Verse Two
And so began our reign (rain)
The Trinity, her and I came
No other man could ever stand
What her and I can (hurricane)
Hella hard
Umbrella whatever
Put plywood or propeller panes
And pray to God that the flood subside
'Cause you gonna need a Sub till he does reply
And not one of Jared's (Jared Subway)
You think it's all arid
And everything's ivory
Another supply
That means another July
Inside my endless summer
That was just the eye of the hunger
Felix, (fromethe Play The Odd Couple(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Felix_Unger) 'cause he is the cleanest amongthe
Younger, outstanding achieving up-and-comers
The ones that had deadbeat daddies
And well to do mommas
But not well enough to keep 'em from us
The ones that were fighting' in class
Who might not pass
Rap record pressure to laugh
At a life not fast
"Can you feel it?"
That's what I got asked
"Do I love her?"
I said I don't know
Streets got my heart, Game got my soul
One time's my sunshine will never hurt your soul
Quote
To a crying and sobbing baby momma
Who's the momma to a daughter
That I had fathered from afar
My new lady gave me a Mercedes
And a necklace with a solid gold key
Like the starter of a car
The opener of a door or two pounds of raw
You gave me a baby, but what about lately?
Then ha-ha-ha-ha-ha'd
Right up in her face, G
There's more fish in the sea,
I'm on my mission to be
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what
The Coolest _ what

Verse Three
Come. These are the tales of The Cool.
Guaranteed to make you go and fail from your school
And seek unholy grails like a fool
and hang with the players of the pool
Fast talking' on the hustle
No Heaven up above you
No Hell underneath ye
And nowhere will receive thee
So, shed no tear when we're now here
And keep your faith, as we chase
The cool....
