Lupe is another great rapper. Alright Cougar bet let's see if you can decipher what Lupe is saying without looking up the meaning of this song online. I'll give you a hint, his CD "The Cool" there are several characters in Lupe's songs where he describes dem w metaphors and imagery n shit. My-Cool-Young-History. The guys name in this story is Michael Young. Listen to what he say about him.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. My personal favorite from Illmatic:

I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor
The trusted misleader,
The number one defender,
And from a throne of their bones I rule,
These fools are my fuel
So I make them Cool
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name,
'Cause I'm the... [gunshot]Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Goat Milk I own "The Cool," on MP3...
I really only get into vinyl, I'll be honest.
My music range is vast, Beach Boys to GNR to 2Pac to Megadeth to Johnny Cash to Portishead to David Bowie...the list goes on and on
Mostly rock, very little rap, some industrial/beat oriented alternative, etc.
Music is subjective, so what one person will call the gospel another person will call garbage. That's the way is has always been, and always will be. It's like any art.Comment -

Of course, very subjective.Originally posted by Cougar Bait
I just don't like when rap doesn't get the respect it deserves because of all the mainstream garbage today like Lil Wayne and Soulja boy shit. Nas was a pure poet his rhymes are fukking unheard of bro.
They study 2 pac's music in a literature class at berkley univesity which is a top school.
Guys like Lupe Fiasco bro. this guy is very knowledgable his songs are so well thought out. If you own the cool, you must know of Lupe's earlier cd that where he dropped the song "the cool" and is pretty much a precurser to what came out in the coolest. He sets up all those characters like 2 years earlier in the cool he had that shit so well thought out.
That's very impressive.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -

Have heard of them they were solid back in the day but nothing like Nas.Originally posted by Cougar Bait
Bro listen to this line from Nas's Illmatic it Ain't Hard to Tell. LakerBoy if you're lurking in here I want to here what you think about this line brother
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin,
Cause in my physical I can express through song,
Delete stress like Motrin then extend strong,
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tellCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment
