Lupe Fiasco - Fire

Lupe always comes with "Fire" and this is no exception. Really looking forward to his album.

Lupe Really one of the best. Production is just as the title says. His flow haha ice cold. I love this !

lupe goes hard like allways

F I R E
seems like an understatement.

Definitely "hot", but not my type of jam.

Whoa, if this was just a bonus track then what is the rest of the album going to be like. I liked shining down, but it just didn't catch on for me. This however is, well "FIRE"

Unlike with most artists, Jimi WON'T be turning over in his grave because of Lupe. I hate to brag, but he and I share a hometown. I am geeked for the (eventual) release of the new album.

as usual, his wordplay is sick

My top 3 favorite rapper strikes again, he went off here. Made it a point to showcase his lyrical ability and his ability to ride a difficult flow from start to finish. This fire just lit the candle.

@*#$! YESSSS

Lupe Fiasco over a Jimi Hendrix sample...'nuff said! Pure classic.

Both of his albums have gotten 4.5 "Near Classic" ratings so far...I have no reason to believe "LASERS" won't do the same. Welcome back, Lupe!

the mixing of the vocals is horrible

@Big-A - Be optimistic in every walk of life. Think positive. Look in a positive way towards the beautiful life ... Nahhh I'm just fooling around homie! :p
But why you be always on a negative tip. I hate Gucci Mane too but still ... Oh well, I love DJBooth.net and its all members. So, its all good, right?

As for this song, usual Lupe Fiasco verses that make you nod, rewind, nod, rewind … get the picture.

And here's a little secret fellas! Mike Dreams is still busy deciphering lyrics from "Food & Liquor" ... :D

Its mixed about as well oil and water but that doesn't take away from the lyricism. I'd give it a 5 but I heard a new Rakim song today lol

I could give a shit what MTV rates artists. They have no credibility or ability to measure artistic integrity whatsoever. Lupe is one of the best new emcees to grace rap/hiphop music...This song is fire. No pun intended.

Just an absolute killer of a track. The production's ridiculous, and you could spend the rest of the day trying to break down Lupe's flow and still come up short. Can't wait for the new album (apparently it won't be his "retirement ablum", right?).

Only Lupe could pull this off, his freaking Genius

Lupe is my fav!! love it!!

A very solid track from Lupe, though I have heard better from him. Still a quality track

lupe's back!!! killin niggas on this one

Yes. I love it. I like it when artist are able to take the game to new levels and bring the faithfuls along with them. Keep it up, Lupe.

One of my top 5 fav rappers :) We Are Lasers

MTV's top 10 list is a joke....

The title of this song is fitting... can't go wrong w/ a sample from Jimi Hendrix!

F I R E

Lupe is always such a relief to hear. I'm glad somebody will originality and skill is still making songs.

Lupe performed this song live a couples of weeks ago in the peg' and it was fire then.

That's nice!! Please visit the website uploaded.tv where u can upload videos, music, n photos and even upload ur own videos to real TV! Be popular worldwide!!

really like this not perfect, but like the Jimi Hendrix mix into this track

Hip Hop Just Saved My Life!

[Verse 1]
i was bout as uncool as a nieces mothers biggest brother
but now its all butter
now i'm bout as uncool as some cover to a pool from a puddle
like a monsoon but subtler
slowly pull up my pants or sag it to a flooder
now u need a submarine the way im cuffin my jeans
like i'm arresting my dress code
the dress clothes and the dress toes
so lets roll
ghetto lambda lambda's how i address those
niggas might peep and think geek
but you need that when you knee deep goin on wayside
get up to your neck just like a great tie
i finally got the windsor, like on my eighth try
your shirts still soakin wet, your slacks ain't dry
and i have yet to even fall from the sky
i'm hotter than red with a head full of lye
better run and get spike, tell him i'm on fire

[Verse 2]
hell, i don't wanna see ya like a male stripper
as you picture yourself lookin at pictures of male strippers
thats how that i don't wanna go to hell nigga
wish ya well like a wishin well wisher wish itself
it fell at first so now i sail with ya
if it happen to sink, i pitch in with pales
and pitchers, bucket and cup it back to the river
then cover the leak with garbage pail kid stickers
{dynamite} and first aid the way ya saviors
now ya flow look like my bedroom door when i was four
no rockin that boat, or you be swimmin, fo sho
oh, i stay ship shape all aboard
thats just how i roll, when i try and keep the run afloat
hatins a disease and its deadly if you catch it
crabs in the bucket always tryna pull me backwards
position rarely change so they dont really matter
if not the same then similar like asher and mathers
bow

[Verse 3]
bully or i bogard, bodacious so i'm humphrey
i used to rubber band, but now i got a bungee
if you let me expand, that refers to the money
gucci's all good, chanel is all chummy
and that aint even for me, my honey and my mommy
i'd rather be bummy, nappy on top
{...} in my tummy the fade is for the fans
not even for my fans, its more for like the brand
whether you hear the words, or just a show of hands
the sign language lady who be translatin my jams
you really like the beats or you barely understand
why i throw my set up wherever i am
man, its cuz i love my town
my mind was a sponge, but now its sham-wow
i never throw in the towel so just wipe me down
but don't you get to close they might have to put you out

(If there is a rapper better than Lupe, please let me know. Until then, he's my favorite!)

Lupe is always getting better. Very creative as well.

Im lovin every word ono this track.....

this is sick yo i love it

Lyrically, no one's on Lupe's level...NO ONE

Dig the crazy lyrics and Hendrix. But this isn't my typa jam.

one of the hottest rappers around!!!

This kid is sick. I've been liking his style and hope his cd is release before the yr is out.

I need more stars to rate this song. Lupe is a star who has acquired fame, but still is down to earth with it. He always delivers.

Not feelin' the production (it may grow on me, just not at the moment).

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while! Jimmy would be proud. Everything about it is dope. I'm gonna be looking up more from Chris Chandler now for sure. Incredible on the drums. Lupe is one of very few people that this beat would work for. Why was this an unreleased track?
