The Cool

About The Cool

Taken from his debut album Food & Liquor, Lupe Fiasco spins a lyrical tale about a hustler who is shot to death but miraculously comes back to life. This track became the basis for Lupe’s sophomore effort, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool, a concept album about a young kid, Michael Young History, caught up in gang and drug life. Dubbed the “Coolest saga,” several songs from Lupe’s second album constitute the beginning of the story, while this track represents the end. .
