Lupe Fiasco fans?

[mercanucaribe]

I stumbled across his blog today.
http://www.hypebeast.com/lupefiasco/

It's pretty sweet getting a glimpse into the life of a famous rapper... He has the regular guy thing going on like Jay Leno.

The guy is into geeky stuff including anime (which you can tell from the song Daydreamin' and Touch the Sky (him and Kanye).
Somewhere on there is a long rant about anime.

This Casio G Shock that he was proud of buying looks like something a true ATOT geek would wear! http://www.hypebeast.com/lupefiasco/upload/2006/11/frogman.jpg

And he was psyched about his friend giving him these ninjas. http://www.hypebeast.com/lupefiasco/upload/2006/08/wee.jpg

Yep, half his posts are about little toys and stuff that he's acquired... maybe he should sign up for AT.

I think hes talented, his album got pretty decent reviews and I liked his song "never lies"

 

[James3shin]

damn...he got COMME DES GARCONS and iDiom connections.

he also got nominated for a few grammy's. he posts on a semi-regular basis at the okayplayer boards. dude seems really down to earth. ill probably end up seeing him next year seeing as he's the opening act for the roots show on 2/12/07 at the h.o.b.

Lupe Fiasco is a beast. His wordplay is amazing. The new master of the double entendre (formerly Jay-Z). Awesome fashion sense (streetwear FTW!)

Ya, hes something good the rap game needed for years. The south sh!t has been getting lame for awhile.. i mean laffy taffy and do your ears hang low??

Daydreamin is my favorite by him.

i too am sick of the shuckin' and jivin' going on in the genre. its like a modern day minstrel show and its terrible.

 

[atybimf]

He's awesome. He is an ACTUAL hip-hop artist.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

lupe is good stuff

 

[tweakmm]

Kick Push was pretty hot.

I'll put money that he's getting paid to pimp that watch, or he's at least getting a ton of free gear.

(Also, if your song isn't fire with The Neptunes or Kanye behind you, you really really suck)

 

[monk3y]

How do you pronounce his name?

 

[mercanucaribe]

Loo-pay fee-as-co

 

[GregGreen]

He's my friend on myspace... he sends way too many bulletins

I just listened to Food and Liquor. The whole album is great, which is not the case with most musicians.

Since I first learned about blackface, zip my excellent compatriot, etc, I've thought that about rap music. The hip hop renaissance is underway with people like Talib Kweli, Lupe, and Kanye finally becoming amazingly popular.
