I posted this in the lupe quotes thread and got no response, so I'm gonna give it a second go.

The first question is a line from "I Gotcha":
"2 heads and four eyes just like screwface." so whats he referring to in that line?

and I dont think anyone here has ever explained this line from "champ is here"...
"Ya understand?/That I don't need Caroline calculator to divide defeat/ Just lean a little closer"

now here's my suggestion about what he's referencing. This is from Outkast's Roses:
"Caroline! Caroline!
See Caroline all the guys would say she's mighty fine/ But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time/ And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short
Yeah, now dig this, now even though/ You'd need a golden calculator to divide/ The time it takes to look inside and realize that/ Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!"

so whats the connection....

Idk 'bout the first bit, but this is a caroline calculator. (It was the only related link I could quickly find on google, 'cos I looked it up a while back)

Dunno if it helps.

It's "the feet" not "defeat". Meaning just move over, there isn't any need for some extra "math".

I think it can be either "the feet" or "defeat" depending on what hes saying. I dont think your explanation makes sense, and you dont explain why he says "caroline."

I think he's referring to the Outkast song, cause he mentions Andre 3000 later in "Champ is Here" and the chorus to "Roses" has the words " need a golden calculator to divide" and lupe says I dont need caroline calculator to divide the feet/defeat." Seems like a pretty clear link to me since both lines have the exact same words in them.

I'm surprised this thread isn't getting much action cause I thought people cared about understanding all the lines...

I just remembered another line from "Roses" so I'm gonna line them up next to Lupe's line:

-"Caroline!"
-"You'd need a golden calculator to divide (to divide)"
-"But lean a little bit closer"

compare with: "I don't need Caroline calculator to divide defeat(the feet)/ Just lean a little closer"

Back to my original questions... whats Lupe mean in both lines in mentioned, the screwface line from "I Gotcha" and the line from "Champ is Here"

another one for yall.....sorry to add to it...rather than help you naab....but i have one thats been driving me nuts and i never get an answer



"most these cats is pussy
pearl tongues, oysters and clams to me
flintstone money
cant even stand being in they glances jeez"

- from the track "Lu Myself" where he spits over eminem's lose yourself

i just dont get the flintstone money reference at all...i have no fuckin idea what he means, please help me....



oh and your definitely on track with the "roses" lines and connecting them

but to be honest i dont really fuck with most of the 3rd verse of that track, its all way too far over my head...

oh....and screwface is the villian(s) in Marked For Death (with stephen segal)

screwface has a twin in the movie (thus he has 2 heads and 4 eyes)

and lupe wears glasses (4 eyes) and i assume the 2 heads refers to his...2 Heads...if you catch my drift....

i actually didnt figure that out till right now either oddly
