To reward him for his selfless humanitarian efforts, Lupe’s record label unleashes the track that spawned a Wasulu temper tantrum and keyboard battle of wits with YN.
Chad & Pharrell on the track and I’m still convinced this is a microwaved version of “Provider.” Nonetheless, it’s new–legal Lupe so take it at that. Loasers should be hitting stores by the time this guy cures cancer.

This song is pretty dope. I may be alone but I think Lasers is on course to beingr a proper follow up to The Cool. All Lupe has to do is keep his mouth shut until the album drops.
But we know that’s nearly impossible.
Very dope
This tracks been out for a while now. Totally excited for Lasers, IMHO Lupe is one of the best rappers in the game right now. Too bad nothing he does will ever be as groundbreaking and unexpectedly great as Food and Liquor.

======================================
These new songs give me hope that Lupe’s scaled back the high concepts. All I want is some dope music from Lu and so far, that’s what I’ve gotten.
i thought he retired hehe
Pompous attitude aside, I’m also looking forward to Lasers. Dude knows how to make epic music.
naaaaastizy
i hate that any beats that are Neptunian in nature have such similar tones
The Cool…one the best albums ever.
I get my energy from my inner G
I be in outer space but I got inner peace
So tell my enemies that they can’t injure me
I know that irritates, you have my sympathies
Well, you should protest and you should picket me
I’m on a losing strike, I’m on a winning streak
I’m out in left field, I’m speaking mentally
But that’s a better place then where the benches be
I’m feeling really good, me and my different beat
Me and my different drummer, he play the timpanies
See that’s what got me here, you hearin’ me
Me on my black man in the future shit, call me Billy Dee
See, I’m just forward lookin’, that’s how I really see
See, while you Valentine’s, I’m thinkin’ Christmas trees
Why did the ‘Tune help him out The Cool? This shit is cold.
wooooowww! that bar up there is meeeaaaann
yeah I agree the chorus sounds alottt like provider, but the verses are nice
they changed the instrumental.
OG > this.
still a dope song though.

I agree.
Do you remember me, the guy from verse one
Failure’s my last name, Never’s my first one
You see I hood alot and yeah I nerd some
Hood’s where the heart is, nerd’s where the word’s from
Don’t represent either, because I merge them
There’s kids who wanna leave and I encourage them
Go out and see the world, never return from
Yeah, you don’t come back unless you learn some
And baby girl, what does it matter where you purse from?
Your hurr done, your nails did, your ass phat but you’re dumb
Mix Melyssa Ford wit Maya Angelou
Become a Top Model and Sojourner too
I try to follow this, what Mohammad do
It’s such a old soul inside this sonic view
That’s why I’m Ferrari’d up and I’m conscious too
I don’t prophecize, I promise you
dopest song out in my opinion, beat sick, verse sick, whole song is sick!
I thought the melody of the hook was similar to that track off Wale’s album… the track he did with Pharrell..
This song is cool…calm flow…nothing that blew my mind but it’s good.
Anotha Time,
MaLLY
But I agree with Amp geez…totally for the wordplay and wit…
“dopest song out in my opinion, beat sick, verse sick, whole song is sick!”
Agreed! this is one of those catchy hooks that stay in your head all day …
I love your description of “I’m Beaming” as a microwaved version of “Provider.” I’ve been laughing at that all night (yeah I just saw this now….)
