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

[x Buddha Bless x]

Ok now Im hearing from my boy that the bonus tracks are "Bottom, Top", "Cold Blooded", and "Proper" with no Blackout. Can anybodyconfirm this?

 

[jrellcuse10]

I believe Bottom, Top and Cols Blooded are already on the Coolest Mixtape. Proper might be also.

If my girl cried Henny, I'd be on my Ike Turner everyday.

AMAZING. Copped from Best Buy today. Could Lupe be the next Slick Rick? His story lines and wordplay are crazy. Anyways, well worth the $.

 

[NCtwin]

really? has anyone copped from Best Buy? I'm about to go pick it up but Best Buy is further for me than CC. But ill make the drive if the Making of the CD is worth it
I have it, but I haven't watched the DVD yet. I'll check it when I get home tonight.

Nobody knows for sure what the bonus tracks are yet¿

 

[seven30]

Young Dro I just popped the CD in my Computer but I haven't really watched the videos because i'm busy today so i'm not sure what's on it.

 

[young dr0]

okay. just let me know. i'm uploading the BBY dvd now.

 

[charles montgomery]

naw "the cool" is a street persona, like the dope boy figure..thats what most single parent home children are accustomed to..and thatswhat MYH is chasing..hes trying to become that "street figure" that most urban communities see as cool

Blackout is nicee...

 

[phillie5o3]

the online price on Best Buy is 9.99.

is it the same in stores?

 

[nachobroadweezy]

Not a let down, definitely some bangers, but overall not as musically beautiful as Food & Liquor before the leak. I hate to compare albums, especially asophmore to a debut, but I'll give it a 3.5/5.
I just know he has potential & album could have been better.

I Kept;
Go Go Gadget, Coolest, Superstar, Paris, Tokyo, Intruder Alert, Hip Hop Saved, Dumb It Down, The Die, Put You On to Game

Everything else was giving me a cringing feeling.

Intruder Alert is my favorite track from the album, beautiful song!

 

[jiggilojones]

out of all the quotables ive seen, im surprised nobody hasnt posted up some of the most vivid lyrics of the album. its almost chillin as he depicts this $%@@.

Yo, I'm famous on the scene
One of the oldest, most ancient-est of things
Speak every single language on the planet, y'ah mean?
(lemme put you on game)
I am the American dream,
The rape of Africa
The undying machine,
The overpriced medicine,
The murderous regime,
The tough guy's front
And the one behind the scenes
(lemme put you on game)
I am the blood of this city,
It's gas, water, and electricity,
I'm it's gym, and it's math, and it's history,
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you're missin, G.
I taught them better than that
I taught them aim for the head
And hope they never come back
I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby,
Hope he never comes back,
I hope he's with your mother,
With my hustlers high in my trap
(lemme put you on game)
I hope you die in his trash,
I can't help it all you hear when your crying is laughs
Somebody'll find you tied up in this bag,
Behind the hospital little baby,
Beg to share what addicts had
(lemme put you on game)
Then maybe you can grow up to be a stripper,
A welfare-receiving prostitute
And gold digger,
You can watch on TV,
How they should properly depict you,
The rivers should flow with liqour,
Quench your thirst on my elixers,
(lemme put you on game)
I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor
The trusted misleader,
The number one defender,
And from a throne of their bones I rule,
These fools are my fuel
So I make them cool,
(lemme put you on game)
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name,
'Cause I'm the... (gunshot)

in my opinion, this album is a classic for the simple replay value of the lyrics. the depth, double meaning, imagery and poetry of it all is sick. im trying myhardest not to listen to it consistently but this $%@@ is...and i never say this...but this album is crack. like Lupe killed it and if u dont think so, then iguess u just gotta wait for the man to dumb it down. or get lupe for idiots coming to a barnes and noble near you.

 

[thejrob]

ya I haven't watched it yet, but the one from circuit city also has extra footage I think. I put it in my computer to import earlier and there was an appon it to watch something. I will check it out when I get home from work.

Lil Wayne wishes he could flow like Lupe did on Go Go Gadget Flow.

Lil Wayne CAN'T flow if his life depended on it.

SMH.

Was just about to ask this. Downgrade.

Only songs I don't like are Hello/Goodbye and Go Baby.

Fighters, Intruder Alert and Gold Watch are my faves rite now.
