View Full Version : I thought the South would take offense to Lupe's "Hip Hop Saved My Life"
Kobe Bryant 04-15-2008, 12:25 PM Agree, a Mead notebook and a Bic
that click when it's pushed and a wack ass beat
That's a track that's weak, that he got last week
'cause everybody in the stu was like that's that heat
A bass heavy medley, with a sample from the 70s
With a screwed up hook that went, "stack that cheese"
Somethin' somethin' somethin' "stack that cheese"
Mother, sister, cousin, "stack that cheese"
He couldn't think of nothin' "stack that cheese"
Kind of generalizing the type of music the South puts out. I know it probably wasn't intended to come off like that. And it's actually a great song. But still. It was cool to see some Southern artist in the video.

Kobe Bryant 04-15-2008, 12:46 PM Bump. Rose where are you?
RAESAAD 04-15-2008, 12:49 PM It's a true and well written song.......like it or not it's hard to argue with.
BEHEMOTH 04-15-2008, 01:28 PM Like most of his songs, I liked the first few lines and then it faded for me.

Versastyle 04-15-2008, 01:37 PM Ok. Call me slow, but whats the meaning of the song besides some guy in H-town trying to make it in the rap game with his grinding??:ugh:
Explanations please.
Truth 04-15-2008, 01:38 PM Lupe is the truth, but the truth is boring at times... LOL...

There's no other meaning besides that.

Yeah Lupe is good, a little like a more commercially acceptable form of Mos def, he can't mess with Mos though.
Versastyle 04-17-2008, 07:43 PM you're slow. :lol1:
Explain it then, please.
ROSEWOOD 04-18-2008, 11:15 AM The song is simply about a young cat trying to make it in the rap game...The lyrics explains him and what he went through to eventually get what he got..The lyrics are a bit weak though..Its the story within them that helps me jam it...Anyone taking offense to that is pretty narrow minded..
Oh, and that video was shot in the heart of 5th Ward...That Nortside of that H-Town for you outta towners..
ROSEWOOD 04-18-2008, 11:17 AM Ok. Call me slow, but whats the meaning of the song besides some guy in H-town trying to make it in the rap game with his grinding??:ugh:

Exactly...I should have read before posting huh...
Flipside, Explain Please!!!
The Victim 04-19-2008, 04:17 PM great song...but the video could b better
Pico Hollywood 04-19-2008, 04:57 PM Yeah Lupe is good, a little like a more commercially acceptable form of Mos def, he can't mess with Mos though.
His Flow Destroys Mos.. Only above him in the game consciously as an Mc that is current right now is Talib
The Victim 04-20-2008, 06:19 PM mos aint above lupe...common aint neither...lupe fiasco has greater imagination
