Lupe Fiasco confirms the truth in his Wikipedia
2009-11-17 02:12:00 More Lupe headlining GWHH as our ChicagoNow fam Alicia E. passed along this brand new, fun interview with the Wikipedia Files @ Vocalo. The premise is oddly entertaining: celebrities get interviewed to confirm the truth on their Wikipedia page. Watch as Lupe Fiasco discusses some facts from his early childhood, how he got the name Lupe Fiasco, and more anecdotes from throughout his career. The one note that particularly intrigued me was Lu's reconfirmation of the novel he is writing entitled Reflections of a Window Washer. I don't expect the novel (or 'short story' that Lupe jokes, haha!) 2 hit bookstores anytime soon... but I am really intrigued 2 see another form of creative expression from Lupe Fiasco. If he...
Diddy previews Lupe Fiasco's "Angels RMX"
2009-11-16 08:55:00 Definitely one of the more interesting features we've had in awhile - a UStream video of Diddy hyped and silly in Las Vegas. But why would this be relevant for us 2 see? Because he previews Lupe Fiasco's remix of his group Dirty Money's "Angels". Fast forward 2 the two lil tabs that Sean marked in the player 2 hear Lupe's parts that Diddy plays for us. Of course the sound is muffled and you can't really understand Lu word for word, yet you can get an idea of his flow on a beat that was made for him. Lookin' forward 2 this one. Lupe's new mixtape - the next chapter in the Fahrenheit series, is due out 11.25!Down below...
Lupe Fiasco to record remix for Dirty Money's "Angels"
2009-11-11 22:53:00 News of the day: Lupe Fiasco is recording a remix to Dirty Money's "Angels" (courtesy of LupEND). The picture above is the 'proof' (courtesy of DJ Busy) and for even more concrete evidence peep Diddy's excited, all caps tweet. Couple thoughts: well, naturally I'm giddy for any new Lupe, especially with his upcoming mixtape a mere couple weeks away but specifically over "Angels". It's got a nice production apt for hip hop and a catchy, infectious hook. I'm pressed for time at the moment so enjoy tweet-sized thoughts of the rest of the update below.30 Seconds To Mars x Kanye (shouts 2 Perajok): Umm, wish the snippet included Kanye but the production is nice.Jovi Rockwell "Ben" (shouts 2 RH): Solid...
Watch Lupe Fiasco perform with N*E*R*D
2009-11-11 11:15:00 RELATED: Lupe Fiasco "Gold Watch" Kanye West "The New Workout Plan" SIMS VIDSAll videos, all day... well at least at the beginning of this one. Lupe Fiasco hopped on stage with N*E*R*D in U.C.L.A. on November 8th performing his verse in the still epic "Everyone Nose RMX". He hops in the YouTube video at about the 1:45 mark.. wish his mic was better but the energy was there not only in his part but throughout as you know N*E*R*D always brings it. An interesting related video caught my eye when watching this on YouTube - a Sims version of Lupe Fiasco's "Gold Watch". It was dope 2 see someone take the time and create a storyline using made-up characters and...
Lupe Fiasco announces release date for new mixtape
2009-11-07 13:05:00 11.25.09. Barring any pushbacks (90% inevitable in general), Lupe Fiasco will be releasing the sixth installment of his Fahrenheit 1/15 series in just a few weeks. He announced the date at his last show of the year in Virginia and some LQ footage of such is above. LupEND also states that Lupe announced a video will be coming soon for "Solar Midnite"! Excited for both - as simple as that. In the rest of the update below, nothin' really special in the audio but there's some big names that are involved that you'll likely be interested in anyway. The videos are where it's at as it was a busy day in big interviews. As many of you may know already,...
Lupe Fiasco & RSVP Gallery announce new collaboration: Red Box
2009-11-05 00:20:00 By now, I'm sure you are all aware of the heavy hip hop influence in today's urban fashion culture. This post is dedicated to a couple pieces of information that deal solely (no pun intended) about hip hop and fashion. First, it was announced today that Lupe Fiasco has teamed up with new Chicago clothing boutique RSVP Gallery (1753 N. Damen) to release exclusive shirts that he co-designed! One picture is above and all the information on that is below. (Looks dope!).We are proud to present "Red Box," our latest collaboration with our good friend Lupe Fiasco.

GWHH Review: Lupe Fiasco "Remember to Smile" show at Congress The
2009-11-01 05:10:00 The Remember to Smile show was, in a word: inspiring. Lupe Fiasco developed a series of video installments to create a storyline throughout the 2+ hour show. The installments, titled Lyric, Life, Death, (minus Love), Faith, Politics, Fame, Progress, Chicago, and Lasers, captured Lupe's life to this point in a powerful, cinematic fashion. Every video included Lupe's viewpoint on each domineering topic followed by music from his discography of mixtapes and albums to bring it to life.I can honestly say that those in attendance at the Congress Theater gained a personal picture of the person that Lupe Fiasco is just by simply analyzing the show and his conscious performance choices. The video topics were particularly evocative because the specific word...
Download Lupe Fiasco's latest freestyle over Timbaland & Drake&apo
2009-10-29 05:39:00 Lupe Fiasco "Say Something Freestyle" Producer: Timbaland - FULL, CDQ, Freestyle over Timbaland & Drake's "Say Something" *Tibs Fav.â„¢So Lupe is kind of on a terror. For cryin' out loud, the CDQ of "Say Something" leaked out yesterday, and in comes Lupe Fiasco spitting metaphors for three minutes a day after. 20 seconds in, Lu explains what lit a fire under him with some ridiculous similes that set the tone for the rest of the song. There are plenty of 'rewind' moments, especially as Lupe uses the pauses in the beat to his advantage, including his name-drops of various pizza places. Finally, Lu comes correct with his flow yet again that is especially evidenced with his pronunciation. Aspiring MCs take...
Lupe Fiasco releases new freestyle
2009-10-27 20:31:00 Lupe Fiasco "All The Way Turnt Up Freestyle" FULL, CDQ *Tibs Fav.â„¢None other than DJ Busy drops a brand new freestyle from Lupe Fiasco. This one illustrates Lupe's ever-changing flow; not only the record itself but how he changes the flow within the record. There's no crazy punchline or anything but there was still substance in Lupe's freestyle, even saying "I don't trust America". You know we always welcome new Lupe audio and this one is another to add to your collection.In some related Lupe Fiasco news, the official website SummitOnTheSummit.com has officially launched and while overlaying the details of the Mt. Kilimanjaro climb that Kenna, Lupe Fiasco, and friends are about to embark on, it also doubles as a...
Lupe Fiasco sizzles with new track "Fire" sampling the Jimi Hendr
2009-10-08 05:10:00 Lupe Fiasco "Fire" FULL, CDQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, Lasers (NOT on Lasers) *TIBS FAV.™MORE Lupe Fiasco gracing 2day's updates - this one is pure FIRE, Rod Kimble style¹. In all seriousness, this new track comes outta nowhere² as Lupe Fiasco goes in on a sped up production/sample of Jimi Hendrix's 1969 classic "Fire". The production has that uptempo hip hop touch and Lupe matches it lyrically, goin' over the top of domes by settin' that tone in the 1st verse. I'm still trying 2 decipher some of the meanings behind the lyrics that you should expect by now from Lupe Fiasco. There are some punchlines you'll dig on the 1st listen; how bout that Asher Roth / Marshall...
Lupe Fiasco films commercial with Kenna for their Mt. Kilimanjaro climb

This is a neat behind the scenes look at a commercial they just filmed 2gether to help bring awareness to the climb, set for January 2010. It looked like they were havin' fun and above all, this is for a great cause. I only hope Matt Damon signs on and brings the intensity he brought on Entourage for the cause, haha. In all seriousness tho, find out more information and donate for the great cause HERE.Down below is another solid batch of tracks as the handful begins with some brand new Rakim.

Lupe Fiasco talks 'Lasers', politics, more in an interview with O
2009-08-22 18:56:00 Lupe Fiasco Interview w/ Onet.TV Lupe Fiasco doesn't do interviews all that much but when he does, it's a must-watch. This chat with Onet.TV is no exception as Lupe Fiasco talks in-depth about his upcoming album, Lasers, as well as some broader topics like 1st & 15th, President Obama and politics, visiting a concentration camp in Auschwitz, and about working with musical geniuses Kanye West, Pharrell, and Jay-Z. Given the breadth of topics, you'll most likely be interested in Lupe's articulate thoughts about at least one of them so take a viewing of the interview above (props 2 Sean for the better version).Down below is a handful of tracks that'll satisfy any hip hop or R&B fan. Juice goes in...
Lupe Fiasco discusses importance of lyrics
2009-08-20 00:08:00 Lupe Fiasco speaks some truth about the importance of lyrics and its direct correlation with the long-lasting impact of musical legends in the quick-hit vid above (shouts 2 Sean for the heads-up). His words are a wonderful reminder of how the positive depth in artists' lyrics is the underlying key to longevity. Peep the video for his own words and a trio of legendary name-drops. Down below, I had to give some shine to a previously released No I.D. produced cut from Chicago's Jeff Baraka. Jeff adds, "the epilude is No ID from Identifications The interview/ promo sampler for his '97 "Accept Your Own..." album". Be sure to peep that one along with a raw lyrical version of "Ransom"...
Lupe Fiasco is featured on Jack Splash record "Flashback"
2009-08-08 02:39:00 Jack Splash "Flashback" f/ Lupe FiascoFULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Technology And Love Might Save Us All *Tibs Fav.™Brand NEW Lupe Fiasco feature  (Big ups 2 Sean for the heads-up). as he rips through a 3rd verse with too many dope lines to rehash. He carries this unique song that some will definitely like; however, I am not really feelin' Jack Splash's parts. Back to Lupe, his sickest punchline (in a verse full of more than usual) is the "Winona Ryder wanna ride up on my rocket", which is taken out of context after a few bars on cops and shoplifting (hence the Winona Ryder line). Lu also concludes the verse with a powerful Pete Wentz (Of Fall Out Boy) punchline which...
Lupe Fiasco announces 'Lasers' features and performs in St. Louis

The backdrop provides a beautiful setting as Fiasco goes through "The Cool" and "Hip Hop Saved My Life" in the video. He does the last verse of "The Cool" pretty much a capella and the drums in "Hip Hop Saved My Life" are incredible. No matter how many times (if any) you have seen Lupe live, you should take a look at the video above for a great look at one of the best in the biz. Shouts 2 Sean, who also reports that Lupe announced his features for Lasers...

The hometown hero Lupe Fiasco rocked the house at the Chicago Theatre last night to a raucous, near-capacity crowd - quite an accomplishment given the last-minute change to a ticketed show a little over a week ago. The love for Lupe Fiasco not only came in numbers, but also throughout the concert as the brash Fiasco had the crowd at his fingertips, playing to the fans who were singing along all night (catch the chilling 'Stack That Cheese' lines from the crowd in the middle of the video). He came out with his usual, unmatched...
