The Cool is still in major rotation here at the Rizoh Mansion, and “Hip-Hop Saved My Life” has a lot to do with that. I’m not just saying this because the ’story’ is set in H-Town. This song, like many of Lupe’s gems, forces the listener to visualize, which makes for a more interesting headphone experience. The music video? Well, that’s just an icing on the cake.
