Lupe Fiasco- Double Burger With Cheese

 

An unofficial video to go with a great song about classic hood movies. Glad someone put this together. I couldn't remember them all from the song alone. How many can you remember?  If you haven't already, go listen to Lupe's new mixtape, Friend of the People: I Fight Evil.

The Fiasco About Lupe

So Lasers is finally out with mixed reviews for course. Some wanted the Cool part 2 and others wanted something else. But for all the things that it isn't, Lupe is an artist who really cares about his craft. He struggles to stay true to that hence the battle with Atlantic Records. Most of all, I feel that Lupe Fiasco is not a moniker that he puts on to make music rather, he really is Lupe Fiasco. It makes sense in my head. I wish other artists had the courage to be true to who they are and not go along with the music industry so much. Just sayin'. I think this interview sums up everything you need to know about him.

Watch the full episode. See more Tavis Smiley.

Check out Frank Ocean. Good music to start the weekend off. I've had his mixtape on repeat all day.

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.
