in the future we will wish this kinda hiphop back

This was my track in fall 2010. Brought me through some of my best and worst times. I remember when Kanye was dropping tunes every week, then the film Runaway came out. Greatness. Lupe verse is one of his best btw.

These teaser tracks that GOOD Music put out leading up to MBDTF are honestly some classics, I still come back every now and again. Especially this and Christian Dior Denim Flow.

"What happens when people turn to tears? Dreams turn to memories and weeks turn to years? Huh?" - One of the realest lines ever.

And this was a free song?! Damn I would easily pay for this

Does anyone else picture the phoenix girl flying into the sky from Kanye's Runaway film when Lupe spits his verse?

I was in 7th grade when this came out, where has the time gone

kanye should make an album with lupe

6 fucking years already, what the fuck! Life, slow down :(

Lupe Fiasco was DEFINITELY the BEST on this song. What lyrical talent...

Such a great song. Mos Def absolutely nails the chorus

Lupe Fiasco went over alot of peoples heads when he came out .. Food and Liquor was way ahead of its time and I don't think the people were on his level yet .. Lupe been killing shit and dropping mad gems and info in his music .. dude needs a resurgence right now cuz we need rappers like Lupe in the fore front no cap !!! 1 of my favs of all time real spill !! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯✌🏾

I feel like Kanye was at his peak when making these GOOD Fridays songs.

Lupe’s verse was beautiful. That’s honestly the best verse I’ve heard from Sean. Gotta give credit where it’s due

THE LYRICS ARE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE RUNAWAY FILM !!!! it should've been there ..

Love Mos Def on the hook.

Ab Soul got a lotta influence from Lupe.

This is art. Please bring back GOOD Fridays.

I know pretty much every Kanye song, and this is one of his best.

forgot about this gem. For some reason the hook started playing in my head after like 10 years since I’ve heard it

Lupe's verse = Phoenix (Jean Grey) leaves Cyclops and flies up to destroy the crystal.

Don't look down... it's an impossible view... FLLLLY LIKE AN EAGLE! in whatever you do....

Probably Big Sean's best verse. Boy needs to return to those Finally Famous flows

Who here in 2024❓

Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] Head's in the sky, wings raised and She's about to fly, and take her place in Out there in the stars, when she leaves the ground She'll see a broken heart, if she turns around But ain't no going back, this is how it must be He told her she'll be burned alive, she just told him, "Trust me" If funerals are beautiful, this ugly Knowing this, he told her, "You won't leave me if you love me" And he knows that, because he knows her Hard to hide his feelings, as it engulfs her Now she's a bright blaze, light rays A shooting out, a phoenix on fire burning up the nightscape So let's hear it for our heroine Applaud as her spirit just flies into the never-end One closed chapter, it opens up another part So this is more like, "The end, question mark" [Hook: Mos Def] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Verse 2: Kanye West] Don't let me hold you back, I only hold you back We're on a dead-end street, this block has got a cul-de-sac So fly baby, my baby so high Sometimes it's so hard to say bye We made it from the alley, straight up to the valley We pulled up at the valet, we'll teach our daughter ballet We'll raise us a Beyonce, maybe she'll be a Halle You woulda been the best mom, I woulda been the best 'Ye You see it all in my veins, like varicose I know that's very gross, but we getting very close To our end, though I kill most with a pen Soon as this flow end, I'ma let Mos begin [Hook: Mos Def & Kanye West] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Hook: Kanye West & Big Sean] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial Don't look down, it's an impossible view How could you do it? How could you do it? [Verse 3: Big Sean] Okay now baby here we go, we go, no baby, me go You got my heart, baby this what it beat for I give it all, walk as far as my feet go What you mean "me go?" Why can't it be "we go"? What happens when people turn to tears? (huh?) Dreams turn to memories and weeks turn to years, huh? Been standing in the same spot for a couple of weeks Give me my feelings back, wish love came with a couple receipts Man, our vacation was coming next week Girl, I swear you was a trip, let's make it a couples' retreat (Do it!) How could my girl do this to me? Woke up to a note saying "The world did this to me" Now I'm testing, one-two, reporting live from the rubble Drinking all I can so I can turn to fire when I hug you One, two, three, four, five models on the double Give me head all at once, look like they lying in a huddle But it's not even half the feeling As hearing your "Seans, you know I love you" Shedding tears everyday (I know you do) And I'm tired of lying in these puddles I ask "Why?" sometimes like a fucking vowel Been hitting trees everyday like a fucking owl Trying to get high enough to cut the clouds Of the Phoenix Sun and Nash it out I mean ash it out so I could see you smile I-I know you can see me now [Hook: Mos Def] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial

this is a mad underrated song yo.

This is proof big Sean was one the best artists kanye ever signed he snapped

Lupe breaks it down so awesome. he is BOSS, damn it!

This beat is very reminiscent of Can't Tell Me Nothing. It's definitely a signature Kanye West beat. Legendary Ghetto Super Hero Music. 10 years later and we still rocking in 2020..hahahaa💯

Damn I forgot about how happy I was when this song came out. Glad I reunited with happiness

this big sean’s best verse ever

2021 still a damn CLASSIC

It's been YEARS since I've heard this song... I'm glad it randomly popped in my head just now.

Life was better when we had Good Fridays to look forward to.

Powerful music right here. Amazing verses from everyone..... But can we talk LUPE FIASCO!!! his verse brang me straight back to good fucking times, this was a good time for hip hop when kanye was bringing all this talent together and handing these gems to us

Bumping in 2022 and it still checks out

Lupe Fiasco always go hard but i didnt expect Big Sean to go hard like this!

This whole track is simply phenomenal. Sounds like an anthem to the end of the world

Oh my god… the memories, the feels… I need this on streaming services

Don't look down, its an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, its an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Lupe Fiasco] Head to the sky, wings raised in Shes about to fly and take her place in Out there in the stars, when she leaves the ground She'll see a broken heart, if she turns around But ain't no going back, this is how it must be He told her, she'll be burned alive She just told him trust me If funerals are beautiful, this ugly Knowing she told her you'll leave me if you loved me And he knows that, because he knows her Hard to hide his feeling's as it engulfs her Now she's a bright blaze, light rays A shooting out Phoenix on fire buring up the night scape So lets hear it for our heroine, applaud as our spirits fly into the never end One closed chapter, it opens up another part So this is more like, the end, question mark (question mark, question mark) [Mos Def] Don't look down, its an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, its an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Kanye West] Don't let me hold you back I only hold you back We on a dead-end street, this block has got a cul-de-sac So fly baby, my baby, so high, sometimes its so hard to say bye We made it from the alley straight up to ballet We pulled up to the valet, we'll teach our daughter ballet We'll raise us a Beyonce, maybe she'll be a Halle You woulda been the best mom I would have been the best 'Ye You see it all in my veins, like varicose I know thats very gross but we getting very close To our end, though I killed most with a pen Soon as this flow end, I'ma let Mos begin [Mos Def] Don't look down, its an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, its an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial Don't look down, its an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, its an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial How could you do it How could you do it [Big Sean] Okay now baby here we go, we go No baby, me go You got my heart Baby this what it be for I give it all as far as my feet go What do you mean, me go Why can't it be, we go What happens when people turn to tears Dreams turn to memories And weeks turn to years Huh? standing in the same spot for a couple of weeks Give me my feelings back, wish it came with a couple reciepts Man, our vacation was coming next week Girl I swear you was a trip, lets make it a couples retreat (do it) How cud my girl do this to me Woke up sayin no, the World did this to me Now I'm testing one two Reportin live from the rubble Drinking all I can so I can turn to fire when I hug you One, two, three, four, five models on the double Give me head all at once look like they line in a huddle But its not even half the feeling as hearing you shine She know I love ya, shedding tears everyday And I'm tired of lying in these puddles I ask "Y" sometimes like a fucking vowel But hitting tree's everyday like a fucking owl Trying to get high enough to cut the clouds Caught the Phoenix Sun to Nash it out, I mean ash it out. So I could see you smile I-I know you can see me now [Mos Def] Don't look down, its an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, its an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial

One of the best break up songs

Praying for you Ye

This in my top 3 GOOD Friday tracks... I'd go 1. Christian Dior Denim Flow 2. Don't Look Down 3. Lord Lord Lord

This is one of the greatest beats of all time.. especially with that hook

i was a junior in high school when this came out and i was also in love, this song gave me a reason to go to school in the am

Damn Big Sean stepped his game up on this track tho

Listen to these tracks in 2024 Kanye was really on a different level around this time

Big Sean snapped on this verse

Lupe is the GOAT.

This is sooooooo good 😭 first time hearing this

"if funerals are beautiful this ugly"

Big Sean verse really hit me hard

Good Friday 2022…….Still coming back

Anybody listening 2022?

G.O.O.D Music + Mos Def = A Musical Masterpiece

One of my favorites all time 🔥

One of my favorite unknown Lupe verses. Super poetic and vivid.

I'm Obsessed with Lupe's Verse

I enjoy Lupe's verse. Very visual. Piques my imagination. The other verses are alright.

This song is pure perfection from beginning to end.

Lupe all day, none the less he killed this track!

Big Sean killed it

Like what the other guy said, Lupe is lightyears ahead of punchline rappers, he's been incorporating crazy metaphors into songs with a meaning since the Fahrenheit mixtapes. The rest are just throwing random punchlines around in there verses to sound good.

Kanye needs to put Black Friday Sessions on Streaming Services. Some of his best material came from that Pre-MBDTF Era.

Listening in 2022 fall man. Dude ye, I doubt you'll ever read this but if you do bro this mixtape is utterly amazing cause it's gospel all at the same time. Just like your new shit. Did people even notice??????

This needs a streaming service release so fuckin bad. Would single handedly revitalize Kanye’s image

lupe, kanye, and big sean all went hard for real. they were all lyrical on this one.

Lupe is absolutely amazing

Lupe is theeeeeeee Goat

this should be either on the deluxe version of MBDTF or a separate album

Big sean really spit the verse of his career on this track. G.O.O.D.

Thank god this songs are still on KZfaq 🙏🏻

my favorite song ever

can Big Sean go back to his original dopness like this pleeeeze

I just got DELIVERED from this song

Yo Big Sean fucking DESTROYED THIS. This is ART.

Fucking amazing to see these artist together.

This In My Playlist As I Cruise Over The Landscape In My Lockheed U-2... - Not Looking Down.

why ya think mos and lupe font is bigger

I’m only here because the joy can’t be found online. “That beat deserves Hennessy, a bad bitch and a bag of weed the holy trinity” Best song on Good Friday.

"Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time." -Jean-Michel Basquiat The G.O.O.D Friday tracks makes me feel like I'm time travelling ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I get why some of the good friday songs didnt make it to the album but this one seems like it would fit perfectly

Forgot about this song. Feels good to hear it again.

UNDERRATED. Nobody knows about this

Ik we won’t get this back again no body on GOOD those times gone but GOD I wish we got a reunion

This is more like THE END, question mark!🥷

Shit Kanye and Mos Def are usually great (especially together) but they got so outshined by Sean and Lupe on this one.

I fucking love big sean's verse in this song. On repeat.

still here May 26th 2018

2024 just discovering this and sounds so good

I came here for "Mos Definitely"

Lupe...nuff said

I hate people who say this guy is underrated that guy is underrated if you think so well they are ,if you like it you dont give a crap if he is underrated or not jeeez

Still here in 2021

I was in 10th grade when this came out. Everybody killed it ! 🔥🔥

Love Lupe. Sean killed this

I wish this would be on vinyl

Its like lupe referencing xxx

Sean massacred this man

Did not think Big Sean could make an amazing verse.
