| Lupe Fiasco – The Emperor's Soundtrack Lyrics | 15 years ago |

It can't b about The Cool. The song is titled the emperor's soundtrack. On his mixtapes Lu calls himself L.U.P Emperor. The song is just about him. One of the lines you corrected I have a different opion about, namely this one: Biden bellows...I always thought he said I done bellowed said what up to the reaper. Meaning of course that he's experienced his share of dealing with death and cried (bellowed). Which would fit, since he goes on to talk about the water proof helmets in the next line. I do think he makes reference to the 3 characters of his 2nd album, but this song is definately about Lupe and his struggles...Identifying with the 5 year old gun shot hearer. R.I.P.'s on the wall...I won't concete till I'm grafiti etc. |

It's the same guy. Lupe and Gemini (sp) are rapping from 2 perspectives of the same individual, Michael Young History. When Lupe gets out the car to go pee, he's leaving behind his cool young history. Ya unda dig? That's why Gem's half knows where all of the guns etc are in the car...he put em there. This song is about Lupe "killing" or, letting die, a part of his past...The Cool. he gets out the car before Gem's persona kills off what's left of Lupe. So many of Lu's ryhmes are two sided. The Pen and the Needles, Switch, Mean and Vicious, Dumb it Down (eyeless, earless, headless). This is just another example of the dude's imagination and word play sucking his listeners in. Just my 2 cents, but it sounds to me like Lupe is placing himself in the shoes of his most popular character MYH. |
