Common on Karmaloop TV
During the recent Magic tradeshow, Common took some time to sit down with Karmaloop's founder Greg Selkoe. They talked about Common's latest album "Universal Mind Control", "Software" (Common's new clothing line with Microsoft), artists from Chicago and his part in Terminator 4: Salvation.

"Blind Fury" coming soon?
Mickey and Lupe?
Listen to this track:
GLC - Take Me Out Feat. Shayla G (Prod. By Kanye West)
I took this track from a new mixtape which was compiled by Artutabr and Dani_46. It features a bunch of rare, lost and unreleased gems from Kanye West and it's called "The Lost Songs". You can get it here.
Now let me talk a bit about the GLC/Shayla G track. I think that I heard it for the first time today, it's pretty dope and you should definitely check it out !
Kanye and T-Pain - Flight School Remix feat. S-Preme
You got to have some balls if you jump on one of Kanye's tracks because people are going to compare you with him. However, on this track S-Preme definitely doesn't disappoint and delivers one of his best lyrical efforts to date. Good to see that he's able to mess with the big names. Check his metaphors and his wordplay.
Download: Lupe Fiasco @ 1Xtra Live - Coventry, UK (Audio)
This is a re-upload of Lupe's performance in Coventry which went down on March 22nd 2008, so in case you didn't get it last year...here it is again:
Tracklist:

02. Kick, Push
03. Daydreamin'
04. Hip Hop Saved My Life

Correction: Fall Of Rome x NIKE Air Force 1 - "AFIV"
"Lupe Fiasco’s F.O.R teamed up with Nike on a pack of Air Force 1’s. The pack consists of a white and black colorway, coming in a mix of leather and patent leather and both featuring a gold Swoosh and tags. No word on a release date so far."
They were first labeled as "Trilly & Truly" but Lupe just made the following statement on the FNF Army page:
Lupe: These Are Not Trilly & Truly...sorry bout the mix up...4 Pair Of Each Color...$2,000 A Pair...Coming Soon...

Daydreamin' Choreo
Watching this made me think about somethng...wouldn't it be dope if
someone would create a musical based on Lupe's tracks ?
"Nihon Town" is Amajanese
Crazy! This is the ultimate mashup illustration created by Ken Taya who mashed US and Japanese pop culture icons in this piece (he also designed some parts of Halo 3 and other games).
It's called "Nihon Town" and features Tokyo Plastic, Danny Choo aka Tokyo Dance Trooper, Obey Giant/Andre the Giant, Doraemon/Garfield, Noodle(Gorillaz), the Astro Boy with Mickey Mouse ears, Budweiser & Yebisu, the Bape logo and NHK’s mascot "Domo Kun" + many more pop-icons.

Trilly & Truly - Lightning Gave Them Life
In his latest blog entry, Le Messie explained where the T&T logo came from:
Lupe’s more accessible lil sibling brand Trilly & Truly has been making it’s rounds everywhere and I’m honoured that an old logo of mine from an old brand project (remember C.O.R Children Of the Revolution) is the main brand identity used as it’s face! It’s called the “Law” logo and Lupe knighted it with the quote “lightning gave them life”.

DJ Yoda feat. Lupe and Others - Colorful Clothes

You probably heard this one already...isn't it kinda uncool to put an old verse
from someone's song on your track and then call it "Brand New"?
I'd say that's it's a new mix or something.
That's the song Yoda took Lupe's verse from.

Krewella - Sasquatch Hands
Ok...so here it goes: First I saw an entry about them on S-Preme's blog like 3 days ago (he works with them). Then I saw another entry on GWHH today and additionally to that I also got some e-mails from people who told me about them and sent me their tracks.
So...I took some time off and listened to their music and I have to say, DAMN !!!! I think they are a great new band from Chicago and I'm really into this whole electronic stuff. To have another band that delivers that type of sound is great. The track that I have right here is totally awesome so make sure to check it out.

Awsmazing
This dude Ebrahim just created this great track right on the spot and he only used beatboxing and a few piano chords.
He mashed up the vocals of D’Angelo’s “Lady,” Lupe Fiasco’s “Paris, Tokyo” and Joni Mitchell’s “Got ‘Til It’s Gone.”
Lupe Fiasco: Some Folks Dress Better Than Kanye
Kanye West made a stir both when he said he takes fashion inspiration from gay people, and when he backtracked on that statement this month by saying, "That's when I was ignorant to gays. 'Cause there's a lot of gay people who don't dress good at all. There's a lot of gay people that I dress way better than."
Backstage at the Y-3 show, his friend and frequent collaborator Lupe Fiasco backed him up. "It's true!" said Lupe (who, incidentally, is waiting to talk to former tour-mate Chris Brown "until all this nonsense boils over").
"What do you want me to say?" Lupe acknowledged that Kanye doesn't dress better than EVERY minority group. "Japanese people and people from Paris have the best style. They can beat Kanye hands down. That’s where we get it from," he said. But he did think Kanye has the style edge on most of his fellow rappers. Said Lupe, "He definitely dresses better than me."
Happy Birthday Lupe !
...and enjoy the video!

Charles Hamilton Clears The Air - Once And For All
This goes out to all the people who say that they don't like
Charles Hamilton because he "dissed" Lupe.
Here's Charles explanation:
Before I got the deal, I recorded two songs that mentioned Lupe's name, in a manner that led some Lu fans to believe I'm coming at him. The songs were "Unapologetic" and "No Escaping My Nuts".
Allow me to explain each line and clear the air once and for all so the public will never utter "beef", Charles Hamilton and Lupe Fiasco ever again.
In "Unapologetic", I said "I'm sorry my lines is something that you ain't get. But I do make sense. Fuck all that Lupe shit."
In label meetings, they used to compare me to Lupe, talking about their inability to understand my bars, image, etc. Every time a label person would say that, I would play "Unapologetic" out of spite right after they said it.
They got tight, I got the last laugh.
On "No Escaping My Nuts", I said "no love for the fiasco like A Tribe Called Quest." I wrote the song after the Hip Hop Honors event of which Lupe messed up ATCQ lines. I was tight because the media made Lupe out to be the bad guy after (no need to rehash the situation). I felt Lupe had a right to speak his mind (just as I) and it was a fiasco that he was getting railroaded in hip-hop for his opinion.
No love for the fiasco like A Tribe Called Quest.
No beef with me and Lu, didn't come at him, unfortunate misunderstanding, and I hope we (me and anyone who is opposed to me because of this misunderstanding) can get past this.

Lupe Fiasco in "The People Speak" (+ New Interview)
Lupe Fiasco is featured in the documentary film "The People Speak". It also features a variety of accomplished performers like Marisa Tomei, Josh Brolin, Viggo Mortensen, Sandra Oh, Danny Glover, Sean Penn and John Legend amongst others.
Lupe appeared at the MoMA screening of the film in New York yesterday and Eiseley Tauginas of BlackBookMag interviewed him:
How’d you get involved with The People Speak?
Lupe: My name was in the air for the kind of music that I do, and the film’s producers got in touch with James Lopez—my manager—and we put it together, went out to LA, and just did it. It was that spot-on. It was really democratic, like, “What do you want to read?” They had a selection of stuff they wanted me to read, and I chose what I thought fit best, and thought that I could do well.
Did you get a chance to interact with the other members of the cast?
Lupe: It was done in different places and different parts ... everyone was on their own schedule. But it was cool. You would meet people coming in and coming out. And with the entourages and the producers there—it was cool. Even though it seemed like we didn’t have an audience in certain scenes, it was still like a little arena of people right there. Everyone going, “wooh, wooh” in the audience.
What are your feelings about the Grammys this year?
Lupe: I went in, I had four nominations, I was happy. I kinda lost all of them, but even so, it was good. It was the best Grammys that I’ve been to. The performances were really good.
Let’s say you’re on a spaceship, going to the moon, and you have to listen to one song on repeat the whole way, what’s it gonna be?
Lupe: Robert Glasper, “G & B.” It’s a jazz piano record. It’s my favorite record in the whole wide world. (you can check the song below)
Who would be your date if you could go back and take any girl to your senior prom?
Lupe: I’d take Sandra Bullock.
Lupe Fiasco Is Set To Perform @ Elon University
