What can I say about this video, or rather yet this song. It’s not one of his more lyrically mesmerizing songs, but I have to be candid for a moment. I constantly retain small reverence for these feel good hip-hop songs deep down in the darkest regions of my loins. It’s one of the most rudimentary concepts within hip-hop, the struggle and the achievement through the art. Who can deny that satisfaction, elation and glory from that endeavor of survival? This flick pans out the storytelling of Lupe as expected. Pay attention throughout the video however, there are quite a few worthwhile cameo’s from some of the biggest names out of Houston. Expect appearances from Bun B, Willie D, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, and the always tantalizing songstress Miss Nikki Jean. Pardon the digress, but I have to point out that the hook “stack that cheese” almost comes off as subtly condescending. Which would be a huge juxtaposition when featuring artist’s with songs eerily reminiscent of stack that cheese. But that could just be him referencing that Houston Hp-hop Culture. But yo, this song is about the conquest of Hip-Hop so catch Lupe’s newest single after the jump and “The Cool” is in stores now.
“Pardon the digress, but I have to point out that the hook “stack that cheese” almost comes off as subtly condescending.”
i got that, too– i thought that was intended?
“Agreed, a Mead notebook and a Bic that click when its pushed and a whack ass beat.
That’s a track thats weak that he got last week
‘Cause everybody in the studio’s 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’”
It’s gotta be condescending, right? So when I saw the video, it made it even more confusing that Willie D and Slim Thug showed up in the posters.
cant you just appreciate the lyrics for the human emotion and sentiment rather than overanalyze every line? I love this joint because its so often a true story without the happy ending
I’m sorry to inform you Bianca, but you have been deprived. You see the rest of these other blogs your accustomed to actually under-analyze every line, welcome to the new status quo…
