Lupe Fiasco - Dumb It Down

Contributed by DJ Z

Listen to More: Street, Midwest

The reason why party tracks are so successful is because they are simple in nature.  The chorus usually consists of the same easy-to-remember lines; never multi-syllable words.  One artist though who refuses to follow such a pattern is Chicagoan, Lupe Fiasco.  His debut album, Food & Liquor, received critical acclaim for being unique and Fiasco doesn’t plan to change up styles on his upcoming sophomore effort, The Cool.  A potential song off the new album, Dumb It Down explores the usage of such elementary vocabulary in music today (see Jibbs).  Produced by in-house man Soundtrakk, the cut is a complex yet innovate way of storytelling.  Ya dig?

I understand what Lupe is trying to do, but club songs are just about being stupid, not being creative. Is he trying to look harkcore in that pic?

bottom boi

This is fiya man what yall talkin about. he wasnt trying to make a club record. Lupe is a nerd a geek even and hes proud of it. hes very smart with and extended vocabulary. much respect to him

My boy Lupe is a monster. Yo Z you didn’t mention how he comes at 50 on here. This song really shows how far above the rest of the game Lupe is. He has another way of thinking I can’t get enough.

the song wasn’t intellectual in any form it just had a different approach to how to receive the verses. nas has what he was TRYING to accomplish down pack. he just used a poets’ mentality instead of a rapper. that’s called doubletalk.

I like this. I thought Food & Liquor was great. Lupe makes clever music that sounds different. Hes a smart dude making smart music. Refreshing.

id like to say that Lupe is the best rapper out now... he speaks about real things and he is very intellectual... probably the best lyricist ive ever heard and thats real... all you hear today in rap is about guns, drugs, and degrading women... its refreshing to hear some truth coming out the booth
