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 [...]
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 [...]
Lupe Fiasco is back with new song "LupeFiascoStore.com" as he announces suspending his official Twitter account until 2013, presumably to purge the beef with Chief Keef and other missives in the archives. I gotta give Wasalu credit for going over Common's classic "Communism" instrumental. Hilarious to me how many blogs have posted this track and ignored that fact. Resurrection is Common's best LP easily. This is the kind of production we need Lupe on, not some LASERS stuff. Maybe 2013 is the year. Lupe Fiasco [...]
He's out of the rap game, he's back in the rap game, he's not out of the rap game but his twitter is being revamped? Who know what's going on over at camp Fiasco but one thing is definite, they sure know how to keep fans on their toes and keep Lupe's name relevant. Personally I prefer the release new music and offer it as a free download method of relevancy, and luckily today that is exactly what we have here. With a new single "LupeFiascoStore.com" for apparently just the hell of it which features [...]
Music represents an escape for so many people. There are dramatic exaggerations, party anthems, songs to make you forget your troubles, etc. However, there was a time when music was used to speak on relevant societal issues and provide social commentary combined with nice melody and harmony. It seems as though these days that balance of human overindulgence and introspection has been sorely lacking from hip hop. Some artists simply aren’t talented enough to articulate these topics and the absence of their attempts to do so is greatly appreciated. There are more than enough mainstream rappers who could [...]
It's been somewhat of an interesting day for Lupe Fiasco which ended with him announcing that his next album Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 will most likely be his last and that he will return to his first true love literature after all is said and done. And while that news by itself is pretty shitty for fans of Lupe, he decided to lighten the blow a little and release an unfinished version of his new track "American Terrorist Pt. 2" for all of his fans to enjoy. [...]
With the release of Lupe Fiasco’s video for “Bitch Bad,” the Hip-Hop Police have returned to explain to all us 2 Chainz-listening, Rack City-loving, faux hip-hop heads, what is and what is not real hip-hip. (I should note that I don’t really differentiate between rap and hip-hop. Feel free to disagree, but I’ve never really bought the notion that rap and hip-hop are two separate entities. It always just seemed like a way to legitimize one over the other—you can guess which one. If they must be distinguished, I would argue that rap is a [...]
Let me know if I should stop posting Lupe. I think I'd rather listen to Slaughterhouse. Uncle Lu stopped by MTV's RapFix to debut the video for "Bitch Bad" today. Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 September 25. Video: Lupe Fiasco - "Bitch Bad" |
Lupe Fiasco is hoping to win back all the fans he lost with the abysmal LASERS album, with new LP Food & Liquor II: Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 in stores September 25. "Lamborghini Angels" is the new single from F&LII, produced by Mr. Inkredible. The track comes with a warning from Uncle Lu: Warning: if you are easily offended or religiously sensitive DO NOT listen to Lamborghini Angels. Contains very disturbing content. — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) August 7, 2012 [...]
People have already weighed in, saying Lupe's new single "Bitch Bad" is 'the old Lupe' or 'this shit still sucks.' I'm still feeling like go home Lupe . In fact, I haven't been able to bring myself to listen yet. I think that chapter is done for me. When I interviewed for a job at Atlantic they asked me what I thought about their roster and my response was "well that Lasers album sure sucked, didn't it?" Needless to say they did not call the kid Jamarcus back. [...]
Lupe sits down with "The Morning Riot" in Chicago to talk about Pete Rock's issues with " Around My Way ," Food & Liquor 2 , Lasers , the newest wave of artists coming out of the Chi and a handful of other topics. I personally think his new single is subpar, but what do I know, I'm just a blogger. By the way, did I ever tell yall about the time Lupe broke my Twitter? I made ONE comment about his Tweet-to-music ratio right before Lasers dropped and the next thing you [...]
Bassnectar and Lupe Fiasco have collaborated for a must-listen banger! I'm going to let the music speak for itself so listen to "Vava Voom" below. Tweet
![[BRAND NEW!] Bassnectar – Va Va Voom Feat. Lupe Fiasco.](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4152397_lg.jpg)
California DJ-producer Bassnectar enlists Lupe for the title single off his upcoming album dropping April 10th. This is dub-step, Rock and Hip-Hop all rolled into one. Lupe continues to experiment outside of the traditional Hip-Hop sound. This song dropped on rollingstone.com today and it is pretty drop I think the you know that to expect. download mp3: VAVA VOOM (feat. Lupe Fiasco)
Eric Turner who helped Lupe on a track on Lasers teams up with him once again and gets a helping hand from Tinie Tempah to make the first single for his upcomnig mixtape Style Changer . This isn't going to help the hate hate that Lupe's been receiving for his "Pop/Rap" tracks but if you ask me I think the this is a pretty well balanced deal. Download Eric Turner Angels & Stars (featuring Lupe Fiasco & Tinie Tempah) [...]
Yesterday was a pretty crazy day in the music world: 1. Common dissed Drake pretty blatantly on his remix of "Stay Schemin". 2. The Shins released a new song. 3. Mike Posner released some bad ass visuals for his single "Looks Like Sex" 4. Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell announced that they were going to be releasing an album soon. 5. Coachella's line up this year is going to [...]
Not only does this track have a superstar line up but for some reason it reminds me of how Hip-Hop used to sound 8 years ago. This is the closing track from Trae's album Street King that was released last summer. Thanks for the flashback guys.
BATMAN KNOWS! What's going on everyone? Another week of Any Given Saturday. Yayyy ! Well I'm pretty sure everyone is on break from school and spending time just relaxing and what not. Lately I've been chillin' and listening to some new stuff that came out and I'll be talking about it below. Also I bought that new Batman game. Batman Arkham City , and it's pretty legit. Well enough video game talk it's bout' that time.... lets get into these songs.
New Fiasco from Lupe, over Kravinsky's 'Nightcall' (made popular in the Gosling vehicle ' Drive ' - yes that was a pun). Sing along with the lyrics & explanations over at Rap Genius. drink the kool aid:
Lupe Fiasco dropped a free mixtape on Thanksgiving Day. It includes samples from Justice, Bassnectar, and Sebastian.

Lupe Fiasco , being the gentleman that he is, dropped another mixtape on Thanksgiving. Finally having come out of my turkey stupor, I'm blasting it way too loud right now. Here's a couple of the better songs from it, although the whole thing is great. How could it be bad when it samples the likes of Sebastian, Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, and Kaskade, among others? Here's some Bassnectar/Ellie Goulding goodness. Download: Lupe Fiasco - Lightwork Oh, and did I mention M83? Download: [...]
