The Coolest Lyrics

Cover art for The Coolest lyrics by Lupe Fiasco

Felix Unger is a character from the odd couple who has OCD of something. "That was just the eye of the Unger Felix, 'cause he is the -cleanest- amongst the younger" Why does Lupe put lines that aren't accessable to the average listener in his songs? I guess thats what makes him the best.

I Like Him Because He Does That... Lupe Isn't Out To Bring In More Fans Then The Next Or Make It To Where Everyone Can Understand Him. He Does What A Lot Of Other 'Rappers' Don't... Which Is CLAIM The Title Of An Artist. He Makes His Music Which Is His Art Using His Own Visions And Ideas. Once That Is Done, It Doesn't Matter About His Fame. He'll Never 'Dumb It Down' For Mainstream Listeners! He Is Amazing!

Lupe's lines are intended (I think) to stimulate the average listener to think "damn, what does that mean?" and consequently go about finding information that will lead to the answer, all the while learning on the way. By doing this, he is doing his bit to bring about the generation of 'Lasers'; of achievers and well-rounded individuals.

That's precisely what gives him the right to make a song like 'Dumb it Down'

sorry for the essay, just i feel kinda passionate about the pursuit of knowledge :)
