Lupe Fiasco

[RHIZOMES]

Anyone like this guy?

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Food and Liquor is good
catchy hooks
good lyrics
amazing production

[blackstone]

I think for the most part he is a great emcee and writer.

Sometimes he has some great pieces of work other times some horrible misses(as alot of artists).

His flow is different and superb as well as his delivery. He brings alot of insight and creativity that hiphop desperately needs.

Here's one of my favorite verses..

It's like
Don't give the black man food, give red man liquor
Red man fool, black man nigga
Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder
Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river
Give black man crack, glocks and things
Give red man craps, slot machines
Now bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Don't give the black man food, give they red man liquor
Red man fool, black man nigga
Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder
Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river
Give black man crack, glocks and things
Give red man craps, slot machines

Yes his lyrics are very profound.

Now come on everybody, let's make cocaine cool
We need a few more half naked women up in the pool
And hold this MAC-10 that's all covered in jewels
And can you please put your titties closer to the 22s?
And where's the champagne? We need champagne
Now look as hard as you can with this blunt in your hand
And now hold up your chain slow motion through the flames
Now cue the smoke machines and the simulated rain
But not too loud 'cause the baby's sleepin
I wonder if it knows what the world is keepin
Up both sleeves while he lay there dreamin
Me and my robot tip-toe 'round creepin
I had to turn my back on what got you paid
I couldn't see half the hood on me like Abu Ghraib

[Pawn Power]

I enjoy him...only have listened to "food and liquor" though/

[blackstone]

Yeah, Day Dream is a Hot song, i especially love the first verse.

As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes
I keep him happy 'cause I might fall out if he cries
Scared of heights so I might pass out if he flies
Keep him on autopilot 'cause I can't drive
Room enough for one I tell my homies they can't ride
Unless they sittin on the shoulders but that's way too high
Let's try not to step on the children
The news cameras filmin
This walkin project buildin
Now there's hoes sellin hoes like right around the toes
And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg
There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees
And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs
And there's a car chase goin on at the waist
Keep a vest on my chest
I'm sittin in my room as I'm lookin out the face
Somethin to write about
I still got some damage from fightin the whitehouse,

His "Food & Liquor" album was one of the best Hip Hop albums from 2006.

"Hurt Me Soul" is the shit.

In fact, his skills are plain to see on every track of that album.

"The Cool" is coming out in November hopefully.

Yeah. Look around, they're out there on the web. He even released a video recently for the song 'Dumb It Down.'

Wow I can't believe I haven't paid more attention to this artist.
