i’ll be honest – i barely give a shit about this. after lupe fiasco’s dramatic saga with LASERS and collabs with bassnectar, my interest in the emcee is at an all time low. in the video above, he announces a new single will drop may 22nd, and the sequel to 06′s food and liquor will see a DOUBLE LP release date.
oh and lets hope he’s actually fucking rapping.

what are the odds lupe ever goes back to making music i give a shit about? the fuck is this?

lupe’s freestyle over m83′s “midnight city” is the “unofficial #OWS anthem,” and this bear can BEARLY bring himself to care. no but seriously, i wish lupe would ease off the militant politics and just become culturally conscious like he was on the cool.

i’m gonna use this platform to mention how terrible lupe fiasco’s new mixtape was. i just want him making soulful/inspiring shit like we heard on the cool. trash the freestyles over electro-beats.

even though AT part II hasn’t exactly been released, we’re getting a part III deep into this december weekend. if you recognize the track, that’s because it was the best song on the drive soundtrack.

lupe fiasco does a video for a reaaaaallllly bad song on LASERS – probably in the bottom 3 lupe songs of all time. all of which happened to be on lasers.

lupe fiasco drops his long overdue mixtape, friend of the people: i fight evil. i have yet to listen, but judging from the tracklist, this should be very interesting to say the least. great way to top off thanksgiving.

the r&b crooner from lupe fiasco’s first and fifteen crew (and the artist formerly known as pooh bear) releases a high corn-syrupy single for his upcoming project, and enlists lupe to boost the star power.

remember when lupe was supposed to put out “friend of the people” a few months after the release of enemy of the state? well, it’s a couple years late, but it’ll be dropping on thanksgiving. this is a weird way to introduce it, as he hops on the bassnectar remix of ellie goulding’s “lights” for a heavy dose of untz untz and wub wub to spit his latest bars.

gonna go ahead and say it. dmx and swizz’ medley of old school hits was easily the best performance. performances from lupe fiasco, jeezy/ti (his first public performance since jail), big sean and wale can be seen below the jump.

haven’t heard from lupe much, outside of his music videos and what not from the underwhelming LASERS. here is with two new (but very old) bonus tracks from his 5th anniversary re-release edition of the classic food & liquor. lupe’s probably real mad about these tracks right now.

i feel embarrassed. nikki jean’s album, pennies in a jar, drops today via itunes. this kinda sucks, because i haven’t been keeping up with this fine woman’s progress, nor did i know she would have this incredibly stacked and stellar song, featuring two of the best emcees around.
pennies in a jar is on itunes now.

i can say with great confidence that 1. lupe fiasco had nothing to do with this generic shit storm of a music video or 2. lupe fiasco dipped into that integrity BIG TIME.
huge ‘smh’ at this.

this is a real pleasant surprise, isn’t it? stump’s getting ready to release soul punk, but first is his homage to chicago with none other than lupe fiasco.
