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!

ok. bringing back an old thread here...

i think that I Don't Feel So Good should actually go before The Coolest.

in i don't feel so good, every line ends with "did you feel it". and the hook is "the game got your heart and streets got your soul"

in The Coolest, he says:
"can you feel it? thats what i got asked
do i love her? said 'i don't know'
Streets got my heart; Game got my soul"

some other thoughts...
i think Put You On Game could go after The Coolest, showing the Game getting jealous at the Streets and planning to take it out on michael "if you die tell em that you played my game/i hope your bullett holes become mouthes that say my name"

streets on fire could fit either after sunshine or a little before the coolest.

great fing though quick1987. i don't really think any of them are stretches besides maybe After Life and Fast Money.

I was just thinkin' this and started makin' my own but got kinda stuck, a quick search and this thread came up! =)

Heres what I had before I saw Quik's



After lookin' at Quik's, with the help of having lyrics for Lupes songs...



What I'm thinking is when Young comes back to life (The cool) he's changed and he wants to help the hood and stop people from falling to The Game (Real)

quote:
The game is not to give 'em nuttin REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
Nothin they could use, nuttin that they could FEEL..
feel.. feel.. feel.. feel
Give 'em a bunch of lies and teach 'em that it's REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
So that's all that they a-know
That's all that they a-feel.. feel.. feel.. feel


Gonna work on it later cuz I got a few exams comin' up now but this is one deep story that is longer than just a few songs.
