Lupe Fiasco video

[o.iatlhawksfan]

Nice simple video!</p>

</p>

He looks and sounds different. Maybe I'm just noticing it because I don't listen to him too much (even though I do like him).</p>

 

[GMJ]

Wow I love it! I like the 'dark' simplistic beat, and the song has a great message. Anyone know if this is off his new album?</p>

</div></p>

yeah it's off his new album "the cool", I thought Superstar was gonna be his single, but I guess it's dumb it down, good choice, I like that song better.</p>

</p>

 

[pegs]

he looks real different without glasses.</p>

This is tight, i like it. Another good song from Lupe, no surprise.</p>

 

[ATLien]

Lupe is boring.</p>

</p>

YEP!</p>

 

[CelticKing]

I like it. Nice beat.</p>

Based on what?! His amazing debut album? If you havent listened to Food & Liquor and are a hip-hop fan then I definitley recommend you pick this cd up...His best tracks from his cd are The Cool, American Terrorist, He Say She Say, The Instrumental and Kick Push. I cant wait till his sophmore album drops and hopefully it doesnt fall into 08 as I have heard various rumours here and there about possible delays but nothing comfirmed yet. I would have loved for him to make Superstar his first single but oh well, Dumb it Down is amazing anyways.</p>

I actually purchased (*GASP!*) Food & Liquor, but I was duped. He's not really that good.</p>

Really??! Did you honestly not like it? Was it the production, lyrics or his flow that turned you off of Food and Liquor, because I thought it was one of the top 10 hip-hop/rap cds of 2006.</p>

On a side note I thought the video was pretty good, he doesnt need the cars, jewelry and $1 million budget to sell his product just his music.</p>

Nope, I didn't like it. For someone with ties to The Neptunes and Kanye West, two of the greatest hip-hop producers of this decade, the production was very average run of the mill sounding. And for me, it had no replay value. Whenever I go back to listen to it again, it's just "eh".</p>

</p>

 

[B.e.]

Well he has ties with them, he had a beat from both of em. OD'n just makes it look like your trying to sell the CD because you got Pharell and Ye'...the production is straight with me...</p>

and this video is tight...superstar is the first single though...this video is just a video he constructed for the net.</p>

I'm just curious, what kind of rap are you into?</p>

Southern rap? Atlanta dudes?</p>

</p>

I'm not exactly "stereotyping", I'm simply making an educated guess on what he listens to. Figured he's from Atlanta, maybe he favors Atlanta-based rappers.</p>

 

[B.e.]

I could understand someone saying they don't like Lupe's style or music...but I can't and won't understand people who say he isn't a good lyricist...</p>

and I always wonder if people have checked his mixtapes? I wouldn't think so highly of him if I had only heard F&L, and not the Fahrenheit mixtape series.</p>

</p>

Different stuff. I like CunninLynguists, The Roots, Atmosphere, Mos Def, Outkast & etc. as well as more known artists like T.I., Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, Killer Mike, Young Dro & Jeezy. So yeah I do listen to a lot of Atlanta dudes as you condescendingly put it, but also listen to the acts you probably enjoy listening to as well.</p>

 

[GMJ]

I won't rule out the possibility that I'm forgetting an artist or two, but I honestly feel that rap from Atlanta is whats killing hip hop now a days. The mecca of southern hip hop is in North Carolina.</p>

Nah I wouldn't say that. There's a lot of good artists based in Chicago who are still doing good things (Common, Lupe et al), and everybody out of the Justus League from N. Carolina is golden (Median, Strange Fruit Project, Little Brother, 9th, Nicolay). Then all around the nation there are artists who are still putting out good music. I just can't think of anyone off the top of my head who's keeping hip hop from being a joke in Atlanta. The epitome of what's wrong with hip hop is coming out of that area. Now to clarify, I don't particularly like the bay area rap, but that's more culturally based and so I accept it. But rims, grills, rappers with ZERO lyrical skills, chains, and b*tches are glorified in southern rap and its pretty painful to watch and listen to.</p>

Have you ever heard of the Dungeon Family before?</p>

 

[CelticKing]

The whole justus league is good. I like all of them.</p>

 

[LakerBlood]

This song is sick as hell, sick beat, he raps in a freestyle kinda way.Thats Wad I like.</p>

Serious?</p>

</p>

Outkast</p>

Goodie Mob</p>

Scarface</p>

Geto Boys</p>

UGK</p>

8Ball & MJG</p>

</p>

None are from North Carolina. So how can they be The Mecca of Southern Hip Hop?</p>

</p>

 

[Dre]

Lol @ North Carolina being the southern hip hop mecca...</p>

Atlanta
Houston
Memphis
Miami
North Carolina.</p>

That's how it goes.</p>

</p>

 

[GMJ]

There's obviously going to be some subjectivity to our opinions. While Atlanta surely is more popular in commercial rap culture, musicians are coming out of N. Carolina. JMHO</p>

Ah, I figured I was forgetting someone: Outkast. The other people on that list, I am not fans of.</p>

 

[ATLien]

Can you please post some of these "musicians" coming out of North Carolina?</p>

</p>

Also, I find it a little strange that you listen to Little Brother but don't like Goodie Mob or Scarface or UGK.</p>

 

[GMJ]

I did above. The Justus League and people they're callaborating with are just on a whole different level than what I'm hearing from Atlanta. There's a big difference between people who create music and get paid for it, and people who use music as a get-rich-quick scheme. Now obviously this doesn't pertain to more established Atl artists, but a lot of whats coming out of there is just...blah.</p>
