One bright spot on Lupe Fiasco’s long-delayed Lasers is the politically charged “Words I Never Said” (which might come second only to The Cool’s “Little Weapon” in terms of Lupe verses). I don’t like to get political on the internets these days (really), but there are a lot of bold messages packed into this 4 [...]

Soulja Boy (my faav) said in a recent interview that he “didn’t want to be super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical and n***** don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about.” I honestly don’t know what Soulja Boy is talking about ever anyway, but point taken by Lupe who promptly responded to the quote with a “Super Lupe Rap.” Produced [...]

Another G.O.O.D. Saturday track. BTW, I’m so excited for Lasers (Lasers is never coming out).

Download: “Don’t Look Down” by Kanye West feat. Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco & Big Sean

Child Rebel Soldier (a ’supergroup’ of sorts made up of Kanye, Pharrell, and Lupe Fiasco) unofficially released one Thom Yorke sampling track in 2007 (only one of my favorite songs of the decade) with the promise of a full length album that appeared to never be coming. Kanye gets our hopes up again here, though, [...]

Over the weekend, Lupe Fiasco dropped new 1500 or Nothin’ produced track, “Go to Sleep”, the first to surface from his upcoming new album, Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album.
Wait, what?
What happened to Lasers? Lupe tweeted a couple of weeks ago that he didn’t know what was going on with the Cool [...]

So, this quickly turned into a rant.
When I first read some of the negative reviews of B.o.B’s Adventures of Bobby Ray, I strongly disagreed with a lot of the points (and as a fan of his earlier mixtapes, was borderline defensive). Some criticized the album for being unfocused, and B.o.B for being a casualty of [...]

Lupe Fiasco seriously still doesn’t have a release date for Lasers. Seriously.
Oh, the new video for “I’m Beamin”, above.

Summit on the Summit is a group of actors, musicians, and friends of singer, Kenna, who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to create awareness for the global clean water crisis. Lupe Fiasco, Santogold, Emile Hirsch, and Jessica Biel were among the celebrities involved with the Summit. The peak of Kilimanjaro is 19,340 above sea level, and their [...]

These aren’t the best quality, but if you’ve been anxiously awaiting a release date for We Are Lasers for the past 9 months, then these might be of interest. Lupe Fiasco premiered 3 new tracks off of the upcoming [someday?] album at his ‘Steppin Lasers’ Tour kick-off on Friday in Claremont, CA. “Scream,” “State Crime [...]

I guess climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro would make you beam, and what not.
The Neptunes produced “I’m Beamin” was unleashed by Atlantic this week (Lupe Fiasco’s label) and is likely set to be the first single from his upcoming release, Lazers. The track previously leaked in December, but was reported “stolen” on Lupe’s blog. Lupe (remember him? [...]
