quick question about Lupe's "The Die"

[up in here]

Did Lupe set the dude up to get robbed?

all the time i thought Lupe was unaware that they was being followed and just tryin to reassure dude but i just listened to it again and when he asks dude to pull over and then he dissappears it sounds like he left him there. plus Gemini knew about all the heat they had on em and he couldn't have known that

 

[Ice Cold]

When you say Lupe are you referring to Micheal Young? or the other person in the car?

 

[TheHomie]

ya he set him up.


the last thing lupe says is "just remember my nikka there's a heaven for a g"

nikka was flossin too heavy so they blasted him

thats what the whole song is about

"there's a bounty on that chain hangin from yo neck"

nikkas still sleepin on The Cool album

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

the whole Michael Young History/the Streets/ the Game story line is one of the dopest things ever done in hip hop... most fans won't really appreciate the creativity behind it until years from now

 

[The Message]

Yea he did set him up. What's foul is he told him what was gonna happen in the next few minutes. Thats my favorite track on the album.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

yeah and after the guy kills him hes like ."you aint so cool now huh nikka" ends the album well



love that album

wow, i never realied "my cool young history" was Michael Young History. damn im late on this. I knew "The Die" was related to "The Cool" but I aint realize how everything else connected up. I mean I enjoyed the songs but didn't realize they were related like that. I just read that even "He Say, She Say" was about this character. Thats one of my favorite Lupe tracks too.

Speaking of this song, I was mad as fukk that one of my nikkas said this was the corniest song on the album. How the fukk do you not like this song when it is essentially the entire point of the album, concept, and everything? HOW?

 

[TheHomie]

put you on the game is one of the greatest songs ever wrote.

and it comes right after The Die.........

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]
