"**The Cool Wiki**" is a video uploaded to American rapper Lupe Fiasco's YouTube channel on May 13, 2020. It was live-streamed, where he discussed the origins and mythology behind The Cool.

## Synopsis

5 pieces all of which were gifts from various demons. When all 5 pieces (including the heart of the Streets) are joined, they create Big Death who can kill this entire world and create a new one as directed by the person who joined the pieces.

The skull of the game is the strongest piece. It is the most strategic and contains all of the senses. He wears many faces and can speak in many tongues. He plans years and years in advance. (See "Put You on Game")

The left arm belongs to the wild man/woman. It has developed unguided and is therefore extraordinarily reckless and dangerous, destroying everything around it without regard. It is not interested in right or wrong it is just primal. He is the opposite of the cool.

The right arm belongs to the cool. He is being trained and guided by the winemaker so as to have more control over the arm and use it for a higher purpose.

The right leg belongs to the monk. The monk has removed the leg so as to try and regain some of his humanity. He has fashioned the leg into a horn/cane which he keeps with him. The monk is a Tibetan Bonebreaker who carried out Tibetan sky burial funeral rites. He uses a prosthetic leg to walk on. He is very powerful in his intellect rivals The Game. He has a great wealth of knowledge about the human body from having such a close close relationship to him via his job as a bone breaker. The monk awoke during his own cremation and thus it is the reason for his physical disfigurement. He represents a parallel and how Big Death was broken up and the different parts of the body were taken by different demons at the beginning of time.

The left leg belongs to the hacker/tech guy/executive. He has succumbed to the dark forces of the piece and uses it to amass a great worldly fortune through his company Skullnet. He has a massive intelligence/information network and develops weapons systems/technologies for the militaries of the world also has a ton of black market dealings and connections. His footprint is in everything and everywhere. He was cryogenically frozen upon his Little Death and was revived using his technology. He is a Tae Kwon Do master. He has developed algorithm derived from magic spells which can be uploaded remotely into his bionic parts and weapons systems.

The winemaker makes a very rare vintage of wine, among many others, that actually has the power of longevity to a certain degree. However one of the key ingredients is a very rare human blood type that must age first like the grape juice for the wine. To "legally" search for and acquire this rare blood the winemaker is connected to a vast number of funeral homes and mortuaries that send him the blood that is drained from the bodies during the embalming process. He receives a shipment of blood and is please to see that indeed one of the batches is indeed the rare blood type he is looking for and to process and so proceeds to set about aging it. However over the course of weeks he comes back to check on the batch of blood he is shocked to find that it hasn't aged or broken down in any way at all! The winemaker is shocked by this and because his family is deeply rooted in the occult and ancient mythology and alchemy the recipe for wine is an ancient alchemical recipe that only his family knows) he is aware of a legend that talks about "the death of death" and how close to the time of end of the world death in its greatest form (grim reaper) which was broken into pieces and taken into other dimensions by various demons would re-enter the world piece by piece attached to "new borns" and if all the pieces were reassemble then the person would be able to call upon Big Death and either rule the world as a hell of create a heaven for all but would be excluded from it. The winemaker thinks that whoever this blood is from is possibly one of those "new borns" and that maybe if he can find the person he can somehow help him gather the pieces and create a heaven on earth or maybe something else. However the wine maker also knows that the pieces are only gifted to demons. true demons meaning that the people who have them are considered to do the worst of the worst and are more prone to create a hell on earth to ruin them to create a heaven for everyone else from which they would be excluded from and also die.
