I like the song
But surprisingly don't like the video. Doesn't work for me.

Personally the song to busy for me. I like his flow but the best for now is annoying to me. Keep in mind this is the first listen for me.
The opening of the song kind of threw me off
Lupe is on a different level. You can't really compare him to rappers he's a writer.
Faux em and Hood now literally bring tears to my eyes. His understanding of the soul of blackness is what music is supposed to be about.
He doesn't make music for the masses. He makes music for impact. Breadth vs depth he goes for depth everytime.
Lupe and MF Doom are lyricists that I can listen to their songs 100 times and get new understandings every time.

First album
Was great
fux with doom’s catalog heavy
lupe, not so much
i may have to revisit it
now this is dope
Wear my dharma like its armor 'cause I don't wanna return
To the wheel of the quivering meat conception
Sometimes I hide inside Kerouac for protection
From the Thanksgiving where bears attacking the dressing
Like Tekken, just lean back and tear into that refreshment
Sometimes real life parallaxes in depression
On Faux em lupe
This is an example of why Lupe is phenomenal but unrelatable for many.
Mentions the buddist theory of Dharma to describe protecting himself with his ways and actions
Next line quotes Jack Keruoac
Then steps out the quote to site the quote - but also give reverance to his stream of consciouness style rap.
Then steps back in to relate thanksgiving to tekken and end off using the concept of parallax effect.
So if you don't know budhism read the 211th chorus by Jack Kerouac or have an understanding of the parralax effect your lost in just six lines of a 3 verse song.
It's sometimes breathtaking the amount of thought he puts into his writing.
