GLC - Take Me Out Feat. Shayla G (Prod. By Kanye West)

1 Comments



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

3 Comments




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.

Correction: Fall Of Rome x NIKE Air Force 1 - "AFIV"

8 Comments




First images of the black version of those Air Force 1's appeared online back in June '08. Now there's a white pair, too and it seems like they could get a release date soon.

"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...

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.


Oh man, I love this. This is Amajanese on the highest level.

Trilly & Truly - Lightning Gave Them Life

0 Comments




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

1 Comments




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.

Video: Kanye West - "Welcome To Heartbreak"

26 Comments



This is the official video for the song.
"Welcome to Heartbreak" is NOT the next single though.

I have to say that this dude Nabil Elderkin is a very dope video director, he directed the videos for Black Eyed Peas' "Like That", Kanye's "Champion", Will I Am's "She's A Star" and a few more. All of them have been super creative but this one definitely tops the previous ones...and hey, Cudi is in there, too...
Very cool !

Awsmazing

13 Comments



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

1 Comments




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 !

Charles Hamilton Clears The Air - Once And For All

8 Comments


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)

3 Comments


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.

Click here to find out more about the documentary.


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.

This one is called: "ADD IT UP"

IM A DEEP BLOGGING MANIAC,
STREET GOD WHO SANGS AND RAPS
2 SIDED LIKE GEMINI
THROW YA STONES WATCH MY GANG REACT,
THESE SILLY PICTURES BITCHES PAINT IS WACK
OVER THE HILL OLD HOES LOOKING FOR BABY SNACKS,
I SHOULD SUSTAIN FROM THAT
BECAUSE NEGATIVE FLAMES WILL HACK
MUTHAFUCKERS APART
THAT SHIT MADE ME FAMOUS BACK
IN MY OLD PERM SLICK BACK DIRTY FOLKS DAYS
SNEAKING BOONES FARM SINGING TWEAKING MUSIC FROM O'JAYS,
IN NO WAY DO I PLAN ON BACK PEDDALING,
PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH
IM IN TRAINING TO NEVER EVER BE IRRELEVANT,
FOCUSED ON POTENCY IN POETRY,
MAKE THAT AS POTENT AS MY SPERM..HAVE YOU NOTICED G?
SHOUT OUT TO SEAN FROM THE LUP-END SITE
KEEPING SHIT FRESH AND WETTER THAN TEN DIKES,
GOTTA MAKE A SPLASH IN LIFE
A RIPPLE IN THE WATERS,
BE GOOD AND YOU TOO SHALL LIVE WITH INVISIBLE BORDERS,
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE ACCESS
DOORS BECOME REVOLVING
BE A PART OF THE FUCKING SOLUTION NOT THE PROBLEM,
AND 50 RAPED RICK ROSS ON THAT NEW SONG,
ME AGAINST COPS IS WHATS POPPING ALL NIGHT LONG.


Thanks for the shout out Bishop, I appreciate it !
