Daydreamin' by Lupe Fiasco


"Daydreamin'" is the third single taken from Lupe Fiasco's album "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor" (2006) and features soul singer Jill Scott. The single is based around a sample of "Daydream in Blue" by I Monster, a song that samples "Daydream" by Gunter Kallman Choir (which in itself is a cover, the original being written by The Wallace Collection). The song's lyrics are a critique of pop culture, especially of the current state of hip hop music.

The music video shows Lupe Fiasco at a record store, where he meets and befriends a robot. Jill Scott is shown in a video projected on the wall, singing with a flower in her hair in a manner reminiscent of Billie Holliday.
