I dont like it that much.....overall the flow doesnt sound to good to me.....but then on occasions it sounds great....

its not a bad song but its def not one of his best....

Best Lupe song is Steady Mobbin....nothing beats that yet....

Pretty good, but it still wouldn't be download worthy for me.

I never listened to Lupe before, but I thought this song was annoying. His flow really pisses me off for some reason, and the verses are pretty bad lyrically. The chorus is pretty cool though and the beat is good as well. 5/10 song IMO. Oh, and the topic is good idea, but it was poorly executed.

Like most Lupe songs (though his others are executed much better then this one)...people are just ignant and don't realize it :)

So you're point is it sucks because those are better?

I dunno though the harsh (for want of a better term)quality sorta ruins it for me.

where did I say that :?, I think it sucks because it's poorly executed...which is why I bolded blacklisted's statement that pertained to that. It's another example of Lupe rhymin bout nothing and saving all the songs meaning for the chorus...
