Lupe Fiasco ft. Nikki Jean - Hip Hop Saved My Life

djblaze DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1315	Rating:          djblaze's Top Rated Songs Lupe's album is about 50% hotness and 50% just decent; and this is one of the 6-7 tracks that I think is FIRE. This is a hot track and so is Paris Tokyo and a few others. It is a must-hear album for sure, and this is a fine example of Lupe at his best...

SBHS DJ Booth Member   Total Ratings: 201	Rating:          SBHS's Top Rated Songs I appreciate what Lupe's doing for hip hop, but I'm more of a punch-liner person myself(one's who know what they doing, Bun, Cham and three 6)

MusicMan DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 115	Rating:          MusicMan's Top Rated Songs This is a classic hip hop song in my opinion. I saw Lupe in concert in SF last month and this song was the highlight for me. 2500 people all screaming "hip hop saved my life". It was crazy to say the least.

Burmy DJ Booth Crew   Total Ratings: 299	Rating:          Burmy's Top Rated Songs Like my hometown comedian T.P. Lucas says a lot at his shows, "Hip hop neva killed nobody-all it's done is made people filthy rich and improved their quality of life!" Lupe does another classic hear (Note to michaelhannah-BKA Young Son-I bet you're proud of fellow Twin Cities singa Nikki Jean doin' that hook!)

JORDAN HUNG DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 699

Rating:          JORDAN HUNG's Top Rated Songs This is by far my favorite song on "The Cool." Lupe Fiaco's nerd rap isn't universal for all hip-hop fans, but instead it deeply touches the few who truly understand his music. The story telling in this record shows Lupe's improvement in capturing a message, bringing listener on journey from verse 1 to 2 to 3. Nikki Jean sings the hook perfectly, chopping up the syllables in-between sentences sounds pure and personal. I'm glad Lupe chose this as one of his singles, it makes a statement to everyone doubting the power of hip-hop.

MuzzieBoi Resident DJ Total Ratings: 794	Rating:          MuzzieBoi's Top Rated Songs Easily one of the best songs off "The Cool", which is the BEST album out of '07. This guy is a true genius. He should for sure be a rep for Hip Hop VS America. Deserves to be the voice of the genre, right there was Nas.

Mike Dreams Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2075

Rating:          Mike Dreams's Top Rated Songs One of the best songs i've heard in a long time. It's like unless you can't understand what hip hop is really supposed to be, you won't know that essentially every song Lupe has ever made for albums needs to get none less than 4 stars on a rating. This here is an a classic, instantly. 5 stars, no question. Nikki Jean from St. Paul, Minnesota adds such a great touch to the song and it's great to hear a new talent that will probably do some big things in the next decade here. Oh, and if you want punchlines SBHS, you better go cop and download every single Lupe song ever. Period.

Rating:          TK68's Top Rated Songs LUVIN this track, Lupe is ALWAYS on point! Hes on of the best rappers out right now, he has originality n swagger that no one can touch. Like other great lyricists (ie Tupac, Nas) hes come to the game to deliver his message and hasent been sidetracked into losing his voice. You can tell when a rappers bout the music or the money by what they bring to the table...I do feel more could hav been done with the chorus but still I'm luvin the track for what it is.
