Lupe Fiasco “Words I Never Said” Video

For all the heat that Lasers has (deservingly) taken, one of the album’s key moments of redemption can be found in the form of Lupe Fiasco‘s focused “Words I Never Said.” With “Love the Way You Lie” co-writer Skylar Grey on the hook, Lupe’s angry manifesto offers a strange contrast to the largely pop-driven wasteland that makes up the rest of the album; for all the conflict that’s been documented between the MC and Atlantic, it’s a wonder that this song was even considered to become a single. With too much static still surrounding the release however — as far as I’m concerned — the jury’s out on the man until we hear Food & Liquor 2.
