Personal floating devices, tricks falling out of my sleeves David Blaine, make it rain... Make a boat, I make a plane Then, I pull the plug and I, make it drain Until I feel like flowin and fillin it up again... Westsiiiide Tru the beat is a lil suspect but after that verse It took me in and made me indulge in its genious TRU STORY All I know is Dumb it down’s last verse is too sick to ignore,
And I’m brainless, which means I’m headless -
like Ichabod Crane is
Or foreplay-less sex is, which makes me saneless
with no neck left to hang the chain with
Which makes me necklace-less, like a necklace theft
and I ain’t used my headrest yet
They said they need proof like a vestless chest
’bout the best-fed F-F jet in the nest
Who exudes confidence and, excess depth
Even Scuba Steve would find it hard to breathe
Around these leagues…my snorkel is a tuba
Lu the ruler around these seas
Westside Poseidon, Westside beside ‘em
Chest high and rising, almost touching the knees
of stewardess and the pilot, lucky they make ya fly wit…
Personal floating devices, tricks falling out of my sleeves
David Blaine, make it rain…
Make a boat, I make a plane
Then, I pull the plug and I, make it drain
Until I feel like flowin and fillin it up again…
Westsiiiide
Tru the beat is a lil suspect but after that verse It took me in and made me indulge in its genious TRU STORY

Dumb it down.. urg.. Sorry, but that production is too weak. And maybe it was a little over my head, but i really don't think it was... Mean & Vicious, Switch, The Pen & the Needlz, Twilight Zone, Hater Hop.. then He Say She Say and finally Kick Push.. Course there are others, but this is the Lupe i couldn't stop talking about a year ago.. I can't remember the last time i mentioned him besides now. It's unfortunate. Big up Lu though, nuff respect.

I gota admit, i haven't really listened to The Cool fully, my little brother's got it, and he likes it, but neither this, or Food & Liquor are the reasons i fell in love with Lupe's music.. It's a shame really. Anyone who listened to the array of mixtape tunes - holla back? I’m gona have to disagree with you all – and i know this comment is coming late, but still.

"...like they shootin in the heaven like they tryin to kill a jetson's struggle is little recruits" and the 3rd verse is crazy as it makes you think what if kids did what they saw in real life... i liked it, that was one of my faorites dumb it down and little weapon are my favorites…

The beat is somewhat "dumbed down", still better than most you hear today...But, I like all the tracks on there..."Go Baby" is...it kinda hurt me for it to end that way. Album of the year to me. BTW, Paris, Tokyo should be the next single..it's got major crossover capabilities there... My favorite track on there..the feel of the track is laid-back, like myself.

The lyrical wordplay is magnificent. I agree, The Coolest is my favorite joint also. To me, Dumb It Down is hip hop at it's purest form, no complexities to the beat and Lupe spits on that shit(no homo!) To me it’s one of his best tracks. The lyrical wordplay is magnificent.

I ain't hatin'. Maybe I need to go back and listen to the lyrics. I'm a beat-man myself. i listen to the overall production of a song. To me, Soundtrakk definitely "dumbed it down" for this track.

But, it's definitely up there with the best tracks of '07...like Blu's "The World Is" & Devin The Dude's "What A Job". Anyways, as far as promoting his album with a radio-friendly track, songs like "Paris, Tokyo" or "Hip-Hop Saved My Life" would've worked better. But, of course, they probably didn't play those because they aren't singles yet. "The Coolest" is my favorite track though.

Anyway, they play 'Dumb It Down' and I'm like, out of all the songs on the album, why are they playing this one. Then it hit me. It's a simple song with a simple beat; perfect for mainstream radio. Not knocking you if you think it's the song of the year, I honestly thought is was one of the weaker tracks on the album. Anyone else agree with trapperjohnmd?
