Lupe Fiasco name dropping Eminem in new song

[Willy]

And the winner is:

Lupe seems to be trying too hard to be political and deep. He used to do it naturally, now it seems forced. The topic of race in hip hop has been beaten into the ground. "Glenn Beck is a racist" STFU Lupe, get back to meaningful topics. Any 15 year old rapper who thinks he's "deep" could write these lines...

its a stretch but it actually could be a diss at Hopsin. Hop has playfully dissed Lupe about not being able to skateboard.

I doubt Lupe's even heard that song

[whiteamerica]

[xnoxiousx]

But em and 50 are close so if you dissing 50 you diss em.

Just in context, I haven't heard the song... It seems as a diss to 50's skills and originality.

That's what I honestly thought at first lol

It could be. Soemone has to let Hopsin know about this through Facebook

Oh okaaaaaaay. Had a look at the lyrics whilst listening to it, and it's an early runner for one of the best tracks of the year.

He's just almost referring to it as 'Lupe's dream', that is talking about things that didn't happen in the world, and he dreamed that they did.

He's praising Eminem again here btw. The song is him talking about things that don't happen/haven't happened/didn't happen. There's a been a million of these "what if" type tracks in hip hop, but Lupe is close to perfecting it here, because he's added a different spin to it. Brilliant.

He says.

Eminem fitted in but then again he inspired a black rapper tryin to mimic him
And thats a really rose up out of michigan, the sign of white rapper by the name of 50 cent

So what he means is that he dreams/wished that Eminem did fit in (because he didn't when he started, because of his color). He's practically saying that he wished that it didn't matter what color Eminem was and that he just fitted in, and that he then signed a white rapper named 50 Cent (talking opposites) and that it would be perfect that way.

Great song. I think a lot of us would have missed a lot on first few plays.

/thread

yeah that was perfect

[Sofi]

If anything he's dissing 50 Cent

Exactly, he's saying 50's mimicking Em

[Konseptic]

If anything he's dissing 50 Cent

Exactly, he's saying 50's mimicking Em

Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you ask me?

[AnalKiddo]

Thanks for the explanation, because I would have never gotten all that ha. That was an amazing explanation, btw.
