Lupe Fiasco -Spray Paint & Ink Pens Ft.Ghostface & M.Shinoda 

Came back after remembering this song randomly. Still as good as a I remember. make music timeless again

15 years later and this song still gives me chills

Lupe spit one of the hottest versus ever. I'm a gundam fan and I could visualize it as he was rapping.

Year after year I revisit this song and still get blown away. It's hard to not picture the Gundam scene playing out when you hear Lupe's verse.

lupe's story cant take seriously until the last line 'he let out a laugh and all she heard was a blast' gives me chills every time.

This song gives me chills.. every verse is incredible

I was a teen when this dropped. I was like holy shit. This nigga Lupe out rapped Ghostface.(all 3 verses were phenomenal) He a legend in the making.....

These classics can never be deleted!!👏

Greatest song ever. 3 great ass verses, remember listening to this like 5 years ago

Mike shinoda & lupe fiasco makes 1 great killer collaboration

For the record, Lupe just rapped about an intergalactic war. No one can match him.

Extremely underrated song probably because Mike Shinoda is on it but he holds his own

Lupe has like the best verse in hip-hop...ever. That was a deep one. And who talks about gundams in music?! I like to think that the pilot survived and ended up killing the rest of the enemies.

Lupe could make a whole album expanding on the story in his verse.... There should be an anime telling the story that was in that verse.

Love how they all talk about someone that died for someone they loved. Whether its someone in present(ghostface) past(mike) or future (lupe).

I like the first 2 verses, but I skip them to hear Lupe.... That intellectual Gundam Wing story is the most creative verse I EVER heard....Seriously, how to you paint a picture in my head that I can visualize with my eyes? Oops.. "Spray Paint and Ink pens..." Nevermind.

I use to ride the bus everyday in High School and listen to this. I knew I would get out of the hood and go to college graduate, get in tech, travel the world and buy a house. Guess what, I did all of this and now I need to build an animation/video game company.

Been playing this hidden gem since high school ✊👌#2020

when lupe's album drops later this year go get it! if we want good music we gotta support it. he dont get the shine he deserves. best hip hop artist doin it. PERIOD

A forgotten classic

ghostface and lupe fiasco on one track will automatically equal a classic...and mike shinoda was an extra plus we get

Randomly popped up in my head.. I had this burnt on a mixed CD.. lol I miss these days 🤦‍♂️🔥🙏🏿💯

The part about he poetically takes his own life because it's too much to bare with his wife always stuck with me at 14 years old when I first heard it to now at 30.

Lupe spits By far one of the best hip hop verses ever written

Lupe was the smoothest dude on two feet back then.

"Let me begin by sayin...STFU!!! Let me begin by sayin..." LMFAO Best intro ever lol...

Oh my god 13 years? I had this on repeat at eldorado skatepark with my crew. Shout out to SWICZ

Graffiti is art.. 🎶

Return every once in a while for that Gundam verse

Lupe Fiasco + Mike Shinoda = My two favorite hip hop artists And this is the perfect mix of them both.

Still to this day, this is one of my favorite hip hop singles. Lupe absolutely destroyed his verse with the Gundam/Bebop references.

It's a metaphor for how vivid of story tellers they are on the mic. "paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in Yeah, the gallery is the beat"

Easily one of my top ten Hip-Hop songs of all time

Yes, Lupe just rapped a Gundam battle.

I've commented on here before, but damn...how can you not? Lupe Fiasco went on some "Dragon Ball Z, Goku Super Saiyajin" type shit.... My goodness gracious!!!!

damn....Mike's verse had me shiverin

This is the greatest feature track and storytelling track ever lowkey ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

I wish this had a video that visualized these stories like the lyrics do.

That doesn't explain Gospel, but that doesn't even matter. This song is dope as hell, and that's all that matters. I'm about try and find this mixtape ASAP before I miss out on anymore more of Lupe's gold.

Too much! Ghost and Lupe! Damn! Two mega forces collide and blast on this track!

Lupe's verse is like something out of the Gundam series.

Hey Aaron, this was dope. I'm glad you recommended it to me.

hm. this song had such meaningful lyrucs, I love it.

this is a sick collab, i gained a lot of respect for ghost face for doing this song.

2nd verse was nuts

ahhhh.....good song 2 years ago......good song now....

This is is Fort Minor not Lupe ft mike shinoda. Fort minor ft Lupie Fiaso and Ghostface-Spraypaint and Ink Pens off of the Fort Minor We Major mixtape

2023 and this still slaps

2019 we here

i love lupe fiasco and i love mike shinoda. oh my god

And I'm back again. Lupe man release that comic

So Many. So much to say without say anything at all. Let me focus. My typos might make people feel offended amongst other things posted here . Lupe Fiasco is an artist. Art. Take a minute. Pause & think. I insist. I won't call anyone out since after all.... you've had the same respect. Now, If you want to engage in respectful dialogue with me (or anyone for that matter) regarding the meaning of the song, or your opinion as to how it provokes you to criticize/discredit __________, it only reveals how much you confidence you have in your own Truth. To me, it would be a privilege to converse. Especially on the latter. You notice how it's so much simpler to insult & speak in some matter-of-fact manner, than prove/validate any truth in your own convictions. If you're willing to play offense, It's wise to be equally confident & prepared to play defense grounded in the truth of your own convictions (if any). Otherwise, everyone is going to wonder... "Why you mad bro?"

Still bumpin

Lupe is the only rapper who can rap about a very sad part of a meh gundam series, flays death in gundam seed.

-little brother-What's a Gundam? -You-*sigh* time to pass down the knowledge of the universe

"Uh, spraypaint and ink pens I use to write in every color I think in To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in Yeah, the gallery is the beat then I... I... I... I..."

I'm telling you lupe is a cool ass dude. Verse was crazy. Gave me hope.

I'm mad I stumbled across this today.

I was I highschool listening to this but now I am an old MFer. Still just as good as the first time I heard it

this song is sick....... love lupe fiasco... =)

When I use to tag years ago this shit would give me such inspiration, I love this song til this day

one of my favorite songs because such a unique collabo

are you sure its Flays death? "his eyes flash behind the cockpit glass he let out a laugh and all she heard was a blast like -----------!

This hook is fire!

This is album quality

I randomly remembered this song today. Still dope.

Lupe is such a monster

the gallery is the beat and i sshhhhtt ~ sshhhhtt ~ sshhhhtt ;D

GFK shines as always, think I might pick this up

Still can’t pick my favorite verse after all these years 😥

why cant all hip hop be like this?

the best rapper all time

This beat is insane.

This track is great. The second verse was my favorite.

I have never heard this track before but only GOD knows how hard this goes down.

M.Shinoda is too hard, I thougth his verse was about someone about to rob a pwn shop when he started, but it ends up about suicide. TOO HARD!

This song will live on!

2024 💥

This beat is so fucking sick! One of my favorite songs.

This is the best song I've ever heard.

What "Gundam Wing" episode is Lupe talking about? Haven't watch the cartoons in a hot minute, Thanks on Advance...

I feel you, i only listen to underground but mainstream artist like Lupe and mike don't get enough credit.

Not yet. No word on when its comin out either. Lupe ben keepin under tight wraps. Cant wait til it comes out though. lupEND - make lupe proud and buy his CD, dont noboby be a punk and download it his shit.

Yo lupe verse has to be on gundam man, he makes references to a suit, laser cannnon and sword. WE ARE LASERS!!! SHINODA!!!!

Awesome production value in this song.

Thanks for the Lupe uploads

Classic song, Mike was really making some dope hip hop shit back then.. Really wished he continued to develop his skill in rapping and beat making from back then even though he had Linkin Park, I feel like he lost his touch and that hip hop side to him

GHOSTFACE KILLED IT!

let me begin by saying...STFU! Lemme begin by saying... lmfao. that shit is funny

agree although he is so much more than, "o that dude that did kick, push..." his first two albums were classics and no doubt will be recognized for their genius when people look back at this era. LASERS!!!

i know Gratiffi has some relation to hip hop but i dont know the full background to it fully.. But this song is a mere metaphor from Lupe explainin, how they speak volumes through their written works..they use the ink of the pens to tell their respective stories..

let me begin by saying, SHUT THE FUCK UP! let me begin by saying.. lmao thats my favorite part.

His eyes flashed behind ______ ____ ____ ____. He let out a laugh and all she heard was a blast like. Please fill in the blanks. Yes I could google it. But I know someone has it picked out the old fashioned way.. Thanks in advance

THIS GO HARD,LUPE A BEAST

Damn, i must of missed this, tune!!!!

1:28 "Let me begin by saying.. Shut the fuck up. Let me begin by saying.."

1:30 that was freaking awesome!

Mike shinoda verse is sik!. Btw this is fort minor track, not Lupe's

yes, he is signed to a major record label and has his share of money making pop tracks, just like eminem. Until lupe drops his label he wont be considered an underground emcee even though some of his music is far from mainstream entertainment. but dont get me wrong, i think he has got some mad skills and for the most part he keeps true to the game. People dont really like real hip hop culture though that's why they consider kanye, jay and wayne the best.

we major
