Lupe Fiasco – Solar Midnite (Video)

Well, that was fast. Usually we get bludgeoned to death with about 50-11 “behind-the-scenes” videos. Off the New Moon soundtrack.

  1. Cool vibe from the vid other than the annoying clips of the movie lol its a dope vid. Def gonna get play on Mtv

  2. Ew…why is Lupe acting like Avril Lavigne?

  3. hated the clips of that stupid ass movie, not a bad song though

  4. Look jacobm23 the movie was good. You’re just not man enough to enjoy it okay?

  5. I would much rather listen to Lupes form of “ROCK” then the so called Wayne shit.

  6. i like this song a lot more than i did

  7. Yes! been bumpin this song for like two months now! Good for the visuals.

  8. *smh

    Danny you are awfully late, commercially, Lupe has been getting his “Avril Lavigne” on since “Hello/Goodbye.”

    Besides, he has mentioned on several occasions on being influenced by the Rock/Alternative/Grudge genre. Have you not heard any Japanese Cartoon?!?

    Sad thing is when Lupe does it, it almost seems natural.

  9. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPEE!!!!

    Haha except for the movie everything about this was on point. Lupe’s coming more into the public eye(II) as of late. Hopefully dude keeps making more of the shit that breaks boundaries while still staying true.

    killen em.

  10. Twilight is for the bitches, my niece always used to try & watch that shit when she would come over. hit her with the classic Stacy line “You know that shit don’t get no play in here.”

  11. ^ I’m glad you classify your niece as a bitch.

  12. ^LMAO

    good video for a decent song

  13. Quit trying to come off as proper, anyone affiliated with hip-hop, knows that bitches = females. whether your favorite artist be Nas,Lupe,Jay,Wayne etc. smart-ass

  14. Video is dope other than Lupe looked like he ain’t had sleep in a day or so lol

  15. Thats REAL ROCK MUSIC! Fuck that Lil Wayne Shit.

    Lupe Killing it with Japanese cartoon

  16. @ VII.
    Quit trying to generalize a genre, everyone affiliated with hip-hop does not feel that way. Times have changed, and yeah there’s still bitches and there’s always gon be hoes, your family members, close friends and females you actually dating are not bitches. dumbass

  17. LMAO @ Shihaby

    LOL LOL LOL

  18. When rappers try their hand in rock, why does it have to be so mainstream? Don’t like this joint; only reason I would ever give this another spin is because it’s Lupe.

  19. TOKS: Thats REAL ROCK MUSIC! Fuck that Lil Wayne Shit.
    Lupe Killing it with Japanese cartoon

    “Real rock music?” Try listening to the Black Album, buddy. (and no, I’m not talking about Jay-Z)

  20. this jawn fit real well in the movie. too bad they only played it once. not that i’ve seen the movie yet…. pause….

  21. [...] Lupe Fiasco â?? Solar Midnite (Video) | 2dopeboyz [...]

  22. i like how Lupe isnt holding a guitar and pretending to play it

  23. Yeah I don’t give a fuck what anyone says what Lupe’s doing right here is about ten times better then anything Lil Wayne is going to do on Rebirth. Cut out the twilight clips and this is a pretty dope video, I didn’t like Solar Midnite that much at first but I have to admit its kind of grown on me, especially with this video and shit.

    And like somebody alreay said Lupe looks like he’s doing this pretty naturally. I bet it’d be entertaining as fuck to see him Live.

  24. @ P’cola
    What actually makes a female a bitch? that rapper’s feel to call them that in their rhymes? nothing. they call them that because it’s another synonym for women we’ve made, that they can put in their raps. they don’t mean any disrespect for saying it most of the time. just like I don’t mean any disrespect to women when using it.

  25. Im Sick Of This Whole Rapper/Rock Shit.. Thats Not Bein Artistic Or Creative.. Its Just Bein Lame!! I Fucks With Lupe Though.. Im A Try And Listenin 2 This Shit Agian.. Lol..

    PEACE&love..

  26. this song is dope this video is dope lupe is dope! this lupe rock shyt is waaaaaay better than waynes version of rock lol

  27. whomever said “Twilight is for the bitches…” LOL

    but on the real, i did get some pussy last week off playing the New Moon bootleg.

    btw, i fucks with this. rather hear lupe on some rock than wayne.

  28. no VII. it’s definitely a term of disrespect. no female likes being called a bitch, clearly with your attitude you’ve never been around a female. so you can play with this mindstate you in now, but you’ll learn better.

  29. Anything lil wayne does Lupe does better first Rapping now Rock

    Too bad he went on an 18 month hiatus music missed him

  30. I always thought bitch was just derived from the fact that some rappers called themselves dawgs. What would their girlfriends be then? Female dogs…hence the word bitch.

    @ VII
    It still is an insulting word though, it means different things for different people and personally I don’t care about using it. My girlfriend hates it though and I never really use it on her…just out of respect, but it is a insult for most people.

  31. Ehhhh..

    Naww Still Feel The Same.. Mabee It Has 2 Grow On Me..

  33. Phitted you not raw on the mic. Yo rhymes is generic, predictable and unoriginal. Quit postin that sorry ass song.
    PEACE&love

  34. This is obviously a male driven hip-hop site. I’m not on a female populated website where I would have to use a different word. Because obviously I know that women don’t like to be called bitches. I comment on hip-hop sites just like I would if i’m talking to my boy’s. SMH at you thinking I go around like “Hey BITCH!”

  35. ill co-sign with u p’cola on that^^^^

  36. VII, you’re a fucking idiot.

  37. Lmao.. Wow.. The Haters Even Hate On The Niggas Thats Bloggin!!! Thats Wild..

  41. i watched this juant with my BITCH last week and evn thou it was loong as shit it wasnt bad… id watch it again on dvd or sumthing… now the first was dumb but this one was str8.. not as much awkward gazin and shit… niggas need to open they mind and try shit out instead doin wat they “think” is cool…

  42. Can we quit talking about why we call women bitches? he obviously didn’t mean anything by it anybody with a brain that listens to rap could have read that and understood what he meant.

    I also gotta agree with P’Cola on the bitches thing.

    “Omitting the word bitch, cursing, I wouldn’t say it, me and Dogg didn’t relate until a bitch I dated.”

  59. ^^^
    Hurt Me Soul = Jonnie’s favorite Lupe song of all time

  60. LMAO X2 @ shibaby

    I’m not one for dick riding but this nigga has me laughing right now, TWICE……

    “I’m glad you classify your niece as a bitch.”

    “You should work on your sentence structure, I really want to understand your comment. I really do.”

    AND YES! LUPE MIGHT BE THAT DUDE!

  61. wayne gonna shit himself when he realizes his “on fire” video gonna be looked at as a copycat of this video. to bad it didnt come out way earlier, like 17 yrs ago when prom queen came out.. and rebirth STILL gettin pushed back. smh

  62. Lupe Fiasco or get sodomized by a midget!

  63. this song is good its not real rock but closer than what wayne calls rap.

  64. WTF is this crap about “Real rock”? Music is music. SMH at the categorizing.

  65. Mike Dreams is a fat ass bitch who couldn’t make a song to save his life, but dude sure can pound back those McDoubles!

  66. stick to spittin lupe

  67. [...] Lupe Fiasco â?? Solar Midnite (Video) | 2dopeboyz [...]

  68. “I bet it’d be entertaining as fuck to see him Live.”
    It is, i’ve seen him perform twice., once from the front row and the energy he puts out during his shows is fucking insane. especially during superstar daydreamin and go go gadget flow

  69. The movie clips were not needed at all… Not saying anything about the movie itself, but those really didn’t fit the rest of the video. But I s’pose they had to throw something in there: It’ll probably be a DVD bonus or something.

    The track itself is dope, especially Lupe’s verses. He says some real shit by comparing opposites in like every line. The hook wasn’t great, but it does what it does for the song.

  70. hip-hop snobs and rock snobs seem to never like hip-hop/rock collabs off gp. somebody said this is a mainstream attempt, how so? a mainstream attempt to me would have been getting some whiney voiced emo kid to sing about darkness and hating life. i liked this song when it first came out and i’m happy they they are actually pushing this to get Lupe and JC out into the public.

    and LMAO @ VII saying “i know bitch is a disrespectful term” after calling his own niece a bitch. you talked yourself into a corner.

  71. @Detective

    This song is the itunes bonus track for the soundtrack, so they were kind of obligated to have movie clips in it.

  72. sum of yall crazy! this song is aight not dope or great…Lupe should stick to spittin. thats what he’s best at! yall be lettin sum rappers pass for sum bullshit too but if Jay did sum shit like this yall would talk shi about it all day

  76. Straight from Lu’s MySpace:

    Hi guys…Lupe here…

    There seems to be a lot…A LOT…of misconception and misguided info floating around the net…

    so for the sake of clarity and so that everyone (HOPEFULLY) will be on the same page let me reaffirm and debunk some things and just turn down the general noise that is surrounding Lupe Fiasco…thats me…

    My Third Album is Titled “LASERS” not “WE ARE LASERS” or “LUPE.N.D.”…

    MY NEXT ALBUM IS NOT TITLED “LUPE.N.D.”…

    “LASERS” is NOT my last and final album…

    “LASERS” does NOT drop in 2009…

    “LASERS” does NOT HAVE A RELEASE DATE YET…

    “SOLAR MIDNITE” is NOT a single off of “LASERS”…Nor was it intended to be apart of “LASERS” project…

    “SOLAR MIDNITE” was exclusively done at the request of the Twilight: New Moon Team to be apart of their film, motion picture soundtrack and as a vehicle to promote the film… NOT TO PROMOTE “LASERS”…

    I produced “SOLAR MIDNITE”

    I’m not SELLING OUT by doing a song for NEW MOON…

    People thought I “SOLD OUT” when I did “Kick, Push”…

    I LOVE “SOLAR MIDNITE”…

    “SOLAR MIDNITE” is NOT a HIP-HOP RECORD…

    I’ve done ROCK or ROCK-like records on all of my previous albums…i.e. ” The Instrumental” “Hello/Goodbye”…

    I HAVE A PUNK BAND CALLED JAPANESE CARTOON WHICH I SING IN AND PRODUCE FOR…

    I DO NOT GO BY “LUPE FIASCO” WHEN I DO SONGS WITH JAPANESE CARTOON…NOR PERCIVAL FATS!!!…I USE MY REAL NAME…

    Enemy Of The State was NOT, NOT, NOT meant to be an album…so stop (to the ungrateful among you) TREATING it like one…

    Enemy Of The State was short for a reason…I DONT LIKE TO WASTE SONGS…AND IT SHOULDN’T TAKE YOU THAT LONG TO PROVE YOUR NICE IF YOUR “REALLY” NICE…

    ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS WATERED DOWN ON PURPOSE…BECAUSE ITS NOT AN ALBUM…

    MOST OF ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS DONE IN ONE DAY…

    IF YOU DONT HEAR IT FROM ME OR DJ BUSY IT MAY NOT BE THE COMPLETE TRUTH!!!

    Its more noise out there and stupid rumor but I really don’t have the stamina…

    FNF UP…

  77. Video actually made me enjoy the song more, its really starting to grow on me…

  78. Don’t like the song

  79. “finallyfastdotcom for you fam!”

    LOL

  80. video was dope. not everyone has the same taste but you gotta appreciate the work done here. if you dont like it you dont gotta “bitch” about it. lupe ftw

  81. [...] [2DopeBoyz] Share and Enjoy: [...]

  82. im a dude and this movie was some dope shit
    its not for “bitches” and shit..thats just dumb nigga ignorance at its finest, you dont have to be “proper” to see that shit…this song is dope but that Enemy of the State shit was waayyy harder, this song is good if u wanna convert to rock but you dont know where to start

  83. i still love the song
    i didnt like the video too much though
    i still hopepraywishdream that travis barker redoes this

  84. so the one’s saying that Lupe “rocking out” is all brand new.. Have you seen him in concert before? Dude always “ROCKS OUT” Its his nature.. ya’ll listen to his music so you should know he is open minded when it comes to music… LOVE THE SONG AND THE VID…
