Posted by Nathan S. on 08/23/10 | Filed under Downloads, Lupe Fiasco

Not only did Lupe Fiasco officially start pushing out his new song "Go to Sleep" on Saturday morning, but he's apparently switching focus from the oft-delayed "Lasers" onto a new album called "Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album", which also doesn't have a release date. Um....ok, then. Listen and download...

Sarah Green & Lupe Fiasco Pick a “Dirty Rose” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/05/10 | Filed under Downloads, Lupe Fiasco, Sarah Green

A few weeks ago we were talking about how while undoubtedly one of the most talented lyricist alive, Lupe Fiasco is not exactly the next Hova when it comes to playing the CEO role. Frankly, keeping Sarah Green is the smartest thing he's done in years. Otherwise we wouldn't be listening to the epically dope "Dirty Rose" right now. Listen and download...

While the controversy swirls around the petition to release Lupe Fiasco's "Lasers" album, and around the man himself, a brand new Lupe freestyle hit the internets, a distinctly un-banging flip of Rick Ross' ubiquitous track, now titled "B.M.F. (Building Minds Faster)." Listen and download...

Petitions, Rants & (Lupe) Fiascos

Posted by Brando on 07/26/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Lupe Fiasco, Speak of Freedom

Admit it, in your best days as an internet rap fan – you believed Lupe Fiasco was the abrupt savior of all things hip-hop. Sadly though, Lu’s been proclaiming revolution since 2007 but the most high profile thing he’s done is climb a mountain, flub a couple lines to a classic A Tribe Called Quest song and prove that one of the most gifted lyricists of this particular generation is flimsy with handling his own career.

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/09/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, Lupe Fiasco

I know we all like to pretend like we were listening to Lupe since the beginning (dudes are like, "Yo, was listening to Lupe when he was in his mom's womb"), but the truth is that for most, myself included, pre-"Food & Liquor" Fiasco is a bit of a mystery. No longer. Thanks to the good folks at The Aphilliates, and especially DJ Moondawg, we now have "Before There Were Lasers". Listen and download...

Lupe Fiasco’s “I’m Beamin” Reveals Atlantic’s Video Blueprint (Watch)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/29/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Videos, Lupe Fiasco

We've been hearing the occasional leak from Lupe Fiasco's upcoming "Lasers" album for weeks, but until now we haven't seen any accompanying visuals...until now. Last night El Senor de Fiasco released a treat for your eyeballs to go along with the audio for the album's lead single "I'm Beamin". If this was an R. Kelly video I'd be concerned about the preponderance of children in it, but as is I'm really digging the hip-hop meets third grade school play style. See more...

Classic Verse: Lupe Fiasco’s “Put You On Game” (Lyrics & Video)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/28/10 | Filed under Features, Videos, Classic Verse, Lupe Fiasco

Once I realized Lupe Fiasco has so far been left out of our classic verse series I set out to immediately remedy that shameful oversight, but the track I chose probably isn't on most casual fans' radars. Somewhat buries on his classic "The Cool" album is "Put You On Game", a work of staggering depth, scope and dopeness. See more...

Classic Album: Lupe Fiasco’s “Food & Liquor” (Review & Video)

Posted by Matt Juss on 04/05/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Lupe Fiasco, Classic Albums

Although it was released only a few years ago, Fiasco’s album is one of the most eclectic and profound rap albums of the past decade. Lupe is nothing like a traditional rap star, and “Food and Liquor” is nothing like a traditional rap album. Without making much use of the usual imagery that finds it way into hip-hop, Fiasco reflects on the personal and the political, and reminds fans of everything hip-hop can be. See more...
