New Lupe Fiasco

Hey everybody. Just heard this new song from Lupe. Now this is the music that I love to hear from him. The beat is good and Skylar Grey's voice pierces through the song to deliver the hook but not take away from the song. Lupe is speaking about a lot world issues including 9/11 and the bombing in the Gaza Strip without sounding preachy. He still has the lyrical prowess we all expect from him but something sounds different. On every track that I have listened to post The Cool, he spits with less filters about his opinions. The scary part is that he is still evolving as a lyricist. This song is, for the moment, the pinnacle of that. I am definitely looking forward to more music and Lasers of course which drops in March. Sidenote: I didn't know that Skylar Grey wrote the original "Love The Way You Lie" song. She is a good singer. I like her version better actually. I wonder why she didn't keep it for herself? Do singer/songwriters ever fear they give away their best songs to other artists and leave themselves creatively drained when it comes to their own projects?

Hope you enjoy. Peace.
