Now, I know Lupe said there's only a few tracks to Michael Young History's story, but listen to these tracks in this order and you get an interesting story. I know, I'm reaching like Stretch Armstrong, but listen to the playlist with an open mind. You need Lupe's whole library.
Intro (F&L) - lupe's little sister is the little sister from the story, references just might be ok He Say, She Say - michael loses his father, sometimes it ain't sunny Kick Push - misfit, abandoned, get introduced to the streets Kick Push 2 (OG one w/ sample) - mom becomes a crack head, father couldn't be contacted, michael is forced to take care of his sister, at first rejects hustlin, (the game) Just Might Be Okay - promises to his mom he'll stay straight, references steady mobbin, abandons his mom, gives into temptation (the game) Sunshine - falls in love with the streets Ghetto Story (Steady Mobbin) - michael becomes corrupt, clings to the game, hints at his death Hustlaz Song - michael is now forced to hustle to support his sister, becomes more corrupt Game Time - talks more about games influence Fast Money - michael fully corrupt getting his tony montana on Spaze out - Michael is killing his hood. He is now at his peak. The Coolest - The Streets gives Michael the key to the Streets, talks about his transition from he say she say The After Life - Michael killing his hood so hard there is now hate. Michael strapped up. mentions heroine (game's son), mentions his hand, and the loss of his righteousness. Because the streets gave michael the key to the streets, game is now jealous. Intro (theme music to a drive by) - Michael's hood is now dead, mentions the game, mentions the cool, theme music to a drive by is the end of michael's life Real Recognize Real (pillz) - Michael is now dead, his mom mourns, mentions Streets, mentions Game, strippers sliding down Game's leg is michael's mom I don't feel so good - talks about Michael's mom's degradation, talks about Michael's death. Superstar - Michael is denied from heaven The cool - Michael emerges from his grave as The Cool Ya I'm over analyzing, even more so then Lupe planned, but I don't care because it makes the story way more vivid. TRUST ME! Give it a listen. What up Lupe! |

Noob question but is all of Superstar about being rejected or just one part? I know in the coolest he says please lord have sympathy and forgive my cool young history (michael young history)but I didn't realize it in superstar.
Hustler to death. No heaven for a gangster |

thats a stretch..but..the thought is there
{& if The rAin StopS. and eVerythIngs DrY..shE would cRy just so0 i Can drInk the Tears FroM her Eyes} |

I Like that alot...and i didnt know He Say She Say was referring to Michael,nor Fast money...since thats a Farenheit 1/15th song. nice analysis.
FNF UP.... Insert Lupe Line Here______  Let The World Know FNF Radio Is Back... |

I'm not saying it was Lupe's intention. But it just fits nice that way.

I think Heat Under the Baby Seat (the song that samples Gorillaz' Kids With Guns) could go here between either Fast Money and Spaze Out, Spaze Out and The Coolest, The Coolest and The After Life, and or The After LIfe and Theme Music to A Drive By. It shows the effects of Michael's corrpution of his hood on the youths that live there.
"Li'l Joker got a gun he bought on the streets to go and kill them niggas that beat him up last week, cause he don't let go of none of his past beefs bullets flyin out the window, shells landin on the seats." See what I mean? "Imagine if I had to console The families of those slain and slayed on game consoles..." |

na lupe said The Die is when the cool dies lol
|
||||
|
niicee i like this alot. even tho it is WAY un-official.
maybe i should draw up a comic.. not AT the bar.. but tryna put'em behind the Bars like a bartender. |

Michael becomes the cool after dying. So it still makes sense if the die is when the cool dies. Plus I think Lupe said that the game sets up Michael, maybe with the streets. So theres still holes in the story that haven't been filled. |
||||
|
i think its weird cuzz i thought lupe said the streets set up the michael...o and my bad im so used to calling him the cool lol...oh and i meant when michael dies thats what the die is about
|
||||
|
That about sums it up.  |

Yea I think you might be reaching also, but nice observations. Matter of fact just to add to your theory...
Mean & Vicious small reference last verse 13th - 16th bars states "...got that f&f homie im a young lil thriller i will resurrect homie come back for my killa in some disheveled apparel with that same leakin' barrel insane" Micheal Young History in The Cool?? Maybe, just feeding fuel to the fire.   He just sits and waits for them to kick in the door He once was a hero they don't love him no more There's a blast, every time a foot hits the floor His gift for not fighting another man's war And if they can get their hands on the mask that he wore On his face, they can put somebody else in his place and restore The state, the illusion that its safe The state, that being a slave is great As gas fills the room and rockets destroy everything around him He stands to find himself surrounded By thousands of soldiers that his once trained to never miss their targets Heartless, Hello Darkness - Hello Goodbye (Uncool) |

Nice catch, but I thought he was referencing the leakin barrel of black powder from the first verse... either way, though, it does work. "Imagine if I had to console The families of those slain and slayed on game consoles..." |
||||
|
I might post some important lyrics later.

okay so i have a question
when you say The After Life - Michael killing his hood so hard there is now hate. Michael strapped up. mentions heroine (game's son), mentions his hand, and the loss of his righteousness. Because the streets gave michael the key to the streets, game is now jealous. and Real Recognize Real (pillz) - Michael is now dead, his mom mourns, mentions Streets, mentions Game, strippers sliding down Game's leg is michael's mom is he talking about the rapper Game? cuz you capatlized the G in Game so i took it as you are talking about the rapper.. and why would he be dissing the game? |
