Let me make one thing clear: Fire is not a response to Lupe Fiasco being excluded from MTV’s 10 Hottest MCs list…or at least he claims. Actually, one listen to Fire’s extraordinarily complex production – a mix of Jimi Hendrix’s classic song of the same name– and Lupe’s intricate rhyme scheme and it’s clear that this stellar cut was a long time in the making. Even the genius Lupe couldn’t write lines like, “hatin’s a disease, deadly if you catch it, crabs in a bucket, trying to pull me backwards” that quickly. Still, whether it’s on purpose or not, the timing, title and the fact that Fire won’t be included on his upcoming Lasers album sure feels like a warning to MTV and any other critic that Lupe will gladly burn anyone who underestimates his extraordinary skill. Lasers currently has no set release date, but keep it locked to DJBooth for any updates.

cb126405 DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1386	Rating: cb126405's Top Rated Songs 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.

Burmy DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 299	Rating: Burmy's Top Rated Songs 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!

@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

VA Dos DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 31	Rating: VA Dos's Top Rated Songs I could give a @*#$! 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.

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 427	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs 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?).

FredRico's Top Rated Songs

[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!)
