Whats interesting about Lupe and this track is that it illustrates a shift in Lupe's work. Ever since the release of the dark, thematic "Lupe Fiasco Presents: The Cool", dude has offered his listeners more off a common man's touch in his lyrics. And in my opinion, thats all dude needed to take him to access a wider Hip-Hop audience and ascend to the next level.
There seemed to always be something with each album that turned off the average hip-hopper: the skateboader image of his first single and the elitist, intricate and super lyrical sophmore album. Whats he has done so far was definitely needed in the game but its time for Lupe to bridge back-pack music with the trap-hop music like Nas does.
On another note, Gemstone does his thing on this track. This is off his mixtape "Coast to coast" on which Lupe appeared. Look out for Gemstones and other "1st & 15th" artist.
