Single: Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist III



















Highly conceptual... just amazingly deep too, man.. when Lupe gets focused and goes in, he can be so inspiring as an artist... wish his last album contained more joints like this...

The threequel to the initial "American Terrorist" track he birthed on his "Food & Liquor" album,  Lupe takes his listeners into the psyche of a soon to be on the lamb or "underground" terrorist, as he places a phone call to his collective loved ones..

There's a double meaning to the words "love" and "hate" here that I found to be really dope, as he codes the meanings in the style of high irony and to point out how the character in the song really feels; i.e."said that you gotta act in opposites/ helps you hide ya tracks when you standing up to the dominant/"...

Wasulu, I fucking hate your music...
