I used to be the hardest Lupe fan, but as of late I just feel like he's putting way too much effort into preaching his political messages and started overlooking his craft in the process. Yes, I realize he has always been a "conscious" rapper and political, but he delivered it differently in his Food & Liquor days. At first listen, fans would swarm because of his insane flow and wordplay. As you'd dig into his lyrics, you'd realize he was really saying something. What you got out of it was your choice. His more recent stuff [...]
When Lupe Fiasco released this new track yesterday, he likened it to a piano player practicing to hone his skills. And what he meant by that was that this new track "Light Blue" was more of him just making new music that will not appear on any new album, so that when he does make music for the paying customer his skills will be nice and tight. Kind of makes sense, but in all honesty its not really worth overthinking. All you need to know is that if this is his warmup routine, then his [...]
It's nice to hear about some music from Lupe Fiasco; the embattled emcee has been in the headlines for just about everything else recently. "Light Blue" is not a cut from his forthcoming Tetsuo & Youth album (which is taking the place of the second part to Food and Liquor II as Lupe's 2013 album release), but it's a solid release that should reassure fans that he's keeping things together enough to rap well. And for everyone wondering about the album title, Tetsuo takes its name from a Japanese cult film , we think. [...]
Yes, Yes, I know that Lupe Fiasco released this new track called "Light Blue" yesterday, but I needed some time to listen to this. I'm not sure what is going on with the Chicago emcee lately, but I'm missing the old days not this kicked out of Washington concert for an anti-Obama rant and then the cancellation of Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Part II Lupe. I don't know if he is trying to take on to many things while being political, but there is some good news from all this. "Light [...]
You ever start to hear a deep ass synth beat, begin nodding your head and exclaim "UHHHHHHHHH"? That just happened to me because gahDAMN this beat is filthy. Although he's been on a streak of nonsense recently, Lupe Fiasco decided to randomly bless us with some mean lyricism with the release of his new track Light Blue . The out-of-the-blueness is welcome, Mr. Fiasco . The poetic madman has seen some drama surround him in recent months due to his inauguration weekend Obama rant as well as for the canceling of [...]
In his usual style, Lupe took to his twitter to liberate this unexpected track entitled Light Blue, wich features DJ SimonSayz on the production. “DONT MIND ME….JUST STAYING IN SHAPE…JUST PRACTICE…LIKE A PIANO PLAYER OR A GYMNAST. Not on T&Y…So pls dont say it is on your blog. Thanx.” Lupe Fiasco – Light Blue is [...]
It's been sometime since we've gotten new music from the Chi-town native Lupe Fiasco . This could be cause last we've heard from Mr.Fiasco, he was getting kick off a stage in Washington, D.C. for an anti-Obama protest during inauguration weekend, shortly after that he canceled the release of Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Part II . Don't worry last night he returned to Twitter to release a snippet of his new track "Light Blue," but decided to give his fans the entire track instead. This won't appear on Lupe's forthcoming Tetsuo & Youth album, due out later [...]

Lupe Fiasco may be one of the most polarizing figures in hip-hop, but you can't argue that he doesn't produce quality music. After canceling yet another album during an interview at the Grammys ( Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 2 ), Lupe simultaneously announced a new title for 2013 in Tetsuo & Youth . With Tetsuo & Youth , Lupe is expected to start from the ground up again, scrapping any music he may have created for F&L Pt. 2 . It's already been verified by the Chicagoan that this particular single won't be featured [...]
"Light Blue" is the title of the latest unexpected hip hop cut by Lupe Fiasco which he released via his official Twitter account. The DJ SimonSayz produced track will not be featured on Lupe's forthcoming album entitled Tetsuo & Youth , stream "Light Blue" below.
Late last night Lupe Fiasco took to his Twitter last night to release a new track titled "Light Blue". The DJ SimonSayz produced track will not appear on his upcoming album Tetsuo & Youth. Interesting. Listen below.
A lot has changed for Wasalu Muhammad Jaco since he first stepped on the scene, rhyming about his affection for skateboarding over a lush and orchestral beat. Since that time, he's experienced lots of label trouble, took on a British accent as the lead singer of an indie-rock band called Japanese Cartoon, grown dreads, stopped tweeting, and most notably, has seen a distinct change in his sound. This morning, the artist better known as Lupe Fiasco , took to Twitter this morning to share a new track with the following message: [...]
What's with all the new releases stemming from Twitter? Apparently this must be the best means to release your music in these modern times. First, [...]
Out of nowhere, Lupe Fiasco strikes again. His moves have been unpredictable lately—between public controversy and what appears to be an ongoing behind-the-scenes struggle with the label, Lupe's output has been scattered. But the good news is he's still staying in shape, just like a gymnast. Lupe released a snippet of the track on Twitter with the message: "DONT MIND ME....JUST STAYING IN SHAPE...JUST PRACTICE...LIKE A PIANO PLAYER OR A GYMNAST. Not on T&Y...So pls dont Say It Is on your blog. Thanx." His project Tetsuo & Youth is coming soon, but this [...]
DONT MIND ME….JUST STAYING IN SHAPE…JUST PRACTICE…LIKE A PIANO PLAYER OR A GYMNAST. Not on T&Y…So pls dont Say It Is on your blog. Thanx Snark snark snark. Lupe released a new song last night which he says won't be on his next project. Apparently he canceled the release of Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Part II , but I had set a mental block on all things Lupe because he's so damn annoying. I gotta say, I like this song. It's simple, DJ SimonSez' production is on point, and there's [...]
Produced by DJ SimonSayz Just when you thought Lupe was on permanent vacation, he mysteriously returned to his Twitter early this morning, dropped this song, deleted it, then dipped. Luckily Sean was on hand to grab. DONT MIND ME....JUST STAYING IN SHAPE...JUST PRACTICE...LIKE A PIANO PLAYER OR A GYMNAST. Not on T&Y...So pls dont Say It Is on your blog. Thanx. So for the record, this is NOT on Tetsuo & Youth. The post Lupe Fiasco - Light Blue appeared [...]
"Even my filler kills..." Lupe Fiasco drops "Light Blue," a track he calls "just practice...like a piano player or gymnast." And while it won't appear on his upcoming Tetsuo & [...] The post Lupe Fiasco - "Light Blue" (Prod. By DJ SimonSayz) appeared first on The Smoking Section .
In case you missed it, Lupe Fiasco apparently announced the name of his next album during an interview/now-deleted stream of tweets during the Grammy Awards. He's calling it Tetsuo & Youth and so far, we're not sure what to expect musically from the Chicago native. That remains true even though he just dropped a new track, "Light Blue", which he noted will not appear on the album. Even so, it could be a preview/teaser of the sound he's utilizing these days, and it's one that again finds him leaning on synth-heavy production. For the [...]

Last night, Lupe hit the stage at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland and performed Food & Liquor 2 in its entirety. Up top, you can catch Lu performing "ITAL" and "Around My Way". Lu also took some time to get a few things off of his chest. Check what he had to say below. Props to LupEND for the assist.
