Lupe Fiasco just dropped this new one, Remission, which features Jennifer Hudson, and Common. #Dope.
West coast singer/producer, Ty Dolla $ign did the hook for Lupe Fiasco's new single, Next To It. The song is the first single off Lupe's upcoming fifth album, Tetsuo & Youth. In a recent interview with Complex Magazine, Ty spoke on his unforgettable working experience with Lupe.
“He’s definitely in my Top 10 now. I don’t know why I wasn’t paying attention but after I did that song with him. I’ve done songs with a lot of people right? This nigga right here, me and Shafiq did the beat, he gave me an idea for the hook, I went in and did the hook, and then he went in the booth and just spit the whole fucking song, dog. I promise you it was off the top of the head, no written. The whole song. Probably went back and changed like two fuck-ups. I’ve never seen that done before. Lupe is that guy.”
Ab-Soul is dropping his third album, These Days...next week Tuesday (June 24th). A lot of tracks off the albums have been leaking, and the latest is World Runners, which features Lupe Fiasco and Nikki Jeans. Give it a listen below.
Kendrick Lamar gets brought up in a lot of hip hop debates, and you have to give it to the guy as one of the best rappers of this new generation. So, Lupe Fiasco was being interviewed on Hot 97 FM by Paul Rosenberg recently, and Rosenberg asked which new rappers he listened to. And he named a few rappers...including Young Thug, and Big Krit. Rosenberg, being the biggest Kendrick Lamar Stan on the planet, asked Lupe if Kendrick makes his list, and Lupe said...
"I've always been a fan of Kendrick. I'm not a nut-hugger like you...Listen, Kendrick is ill. He's super ill. To me, the whole TDE team is the illest team. They're the illest team that I've seen in maybe 5 years. Ab-Soul's on the album. That's my homie...I'm trying to work with SZA right now...I love the creative collective they got. As an emcee, I wish I had that. Lyrically, no, I don't think Kendrick Lamar is the best. To me, MF DOOM is the best."
"Took two sips of the Holy Grail then I backed up and I turned around and I bent over & pittoo'd sh*t/I love Jay, that's my n*gga. I feel sicker than a cruise ship/I ain't competition? I dont' move sh*t? The only opposition's this new sh*t/These new n*ggas rapping like they two/They acting like they you, man ... Now we all heard what he said, but what he said means we dead and that sh*t is insane/He's so crazy, look at the little baby/N*gga you ain't Nas, n*gga you ain't Jay Z/You will respect me, you will reject me/But I've done so much, no matter how far you go, you will reflect me"
"Every album since Food & Liquor,
my first official release, has been nominated for Best Rap Album at the
Grammys," he said, denying that he will win. "No. Clearly I won't. Nas,
Rick Ross, 2 Chainz and The Roots. Ah yeah, it is Drake? Forgot about
it.Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza Strip was gettin bombed, Obama didn't say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza Strip was gettin bombed, Obama didn't say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza Strip was gettin bombed, Obama didn't say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
That's just to give you an idea of how repetitive Lupe was with this part of the song...to get his message across. It is a great song though. Check out some other part of the songs below-
"I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip?
9/11, Building 7, did they really pull it? (pull)
Uh, and a bunch of other cover ups
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts"
The main issue is that America as a whole has always been enemies of the Arabs, and Obama is just carrying on tradition. But the thing is that Lupe Fiasco is a Muslim...and he is also currently dating an Arab girl. So, it is understandable why he doesn't like Obama.

1. Ayesha Says (Intro)
I have been a Lupe Fiasco fan ever since i heard Him on Kanye's Touch The Sky (2005) track, off the Late Registration album. 3 albums, and 7 years later, this man has not disappointed me once. His debut, Food and Liquor had that Illmatic feel; flawless verses back to back...Second album, The Cool was just out of this world...Lasers was a more politically conscious Lupe, mixed with some feel good songs...Lupe Fiasco just confirmed that his 4th album, Food and Liquor 2 will be a double CD and the first single would drop on May 2nd, but the album release date is not official yet.
"Food & Liquor 2 is the follow-up, the sequel to my first album Food & Liquor. This is my fourth album, and this is actually a part one and part two, it’s a double album. With this record, I wanted to go back to the essence of what made that record so special, the frame of mind I was in when I did Food & Liquor the first time," he explained. "It’s the Lupe Fiasco I want to be, without the industry constraints, without the trying to please the hardcore fans or get the new fans. It’s just what I would do for myself if nobody ever heard it. This is the kind of music I would make. It’s a masterpiece. It’s real fucking good."
"When you're done Watching The Throne, turn around and watch me, when you're done with Tha Carter IV come back to me for more, when you're done with that Drake, no, I ain't trying to hate but I'm back up on my grind and I'm about to skaaaaate on these n*ggas....Put it on your blog and your Tumblrs on your Twitters that Lupe said that he's the best, n*gga!" (The LupEND Blog)
Several weeks ago, rap artist Lupe Fiasco called The President of The United States of America the Biggest Terrorist. The comment raised many eye-brows, and lupe gave his reasons for saying that; you can read it up here- lupe fiasco calls obama the biggest terrorist . But I was not satisfied with what he gave as reason; I knew his comment came from a deeper place than that.
One song stands out, which tackles the root of the issue with Barack Obama- words i never said , he mentions Obama's name directly...Gaza Strip was gettin bombed, Obama didn't say shit
“It's really taking the lessons I learned from Lasers, and applying that to Food & Liquor [2]. That's really it,” he said.
Some days ago, Lupe Fiasco called the U.S President, Barack Obama, the Biggest Terrorist there is- well, i don't know his reasons, but you can read up that story over herelupe fiasco calls obama the biggest terrorist- Now, Prodigy (one half of the rap group, Mobb Deep) has come forward to back Lupe on the issue. Prodigy says he can't be fooled by all the politicking, and that he knows what is really going on. Read what he had to say below-
"I would have to agree with him," Prodigy said referring to Fiasco's comments. "Most of these politicians and these government officials...most of them are the real terrorists...I was definitely checking [Obama] out and seeing what he was doing and what he was about [while locked up]...But I already knew ahead of time - I've been studying all that type of stuff since like 15, 16 years old, so... You can't pull the wool over my eyes. I already know what time it is...There's nothing you can say to confuse me about any of that type of stuff. I know it's all a game that they're playing. It's all a facade." (Hip Hop DX)
"I've got nothing to clarify. It's Obama and the U.S. government," Lupe said, echoing his comments to CBS. "[It's] every president that came before him and every president that comes after him...It's funky because everybody's pulling soundbites from this one interview that we did, but they don't talk about anything else from the interview. So it's really about, 'What do people want to listen to?' It's not what I want to talk about, cause I want to talk about all types of sh*t... there wasn't the same reaction about me having a book club... about me trying to promote literacy in a country with 50 million functioning illiterates walking around, because we have a failed and flawed education system." (Billboard)
Chicago rapper, Lupe Fiasco recently made his point clear that he thinks Obama is the "biggest terrorist". Personally, i have my own view on this issue, but i would like for you to first read the story, then i will come in with my analysis.
Lupe Fiasco doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing his opinions. He recently told CBS News' "What's Trending" that he considers President Obama "the biggest terrorist", explaining that his actions have a trickledown effect and cause others to engage in acts of terrorism.
