lupe fiasco =)

uh yeah you guessed it; 

MUSIC APPRECIATION 

and of course i'm starting with none other than 

LUPE FIASCO . 

i mean come on honestly.. who else would i start with? like really. and by the way if you're still sleeping on lupe fiasco then you need to get the fuck up off my page. because i don't want to be friends with you anymore. if we were even friends to begin with.. why are you still here?! oh.. you wish to be enlightened? well okay then. let me bless you - 

its difficult to find a place to begin but i guess i'll start at my beginning.. i first came across lupe fiasco on the track "touch the sky" and don't front, most of you didn't know who he was before that either. but instead of just letting lupe fiasco be a passing flicker of light in my life i decided to do some homework. and low & behold what did i come across? MIXTAPES. yes mixtapes.. 

Da Exam

Fahrenheit 1st n 15th

The Coolest Mixtape

Fahrenheit 1st n 15th pt.2 : revenge of the nerds (ahem personal fave)

Fahrenheit 1st n 15th pt.3 :a rhyming ape 

It Was Written

Lupe The Jedi

Muhammad Walks 

Touch The Sky

The Coolest Graduates

Reflections Of the Coolest

plus his two "mainstream" releases

Food & Liquor 

The Cool

now, again i can't front and say i know everything there is to know about lupe fiasco. because he's one of the most multifaceted and interesting rappers (or just people in general) that i have ever heard of, listened to, seen, stood in awe of... 

honestly, if you can't respect his work 

then i can't respect your taste. 

conscious hip hop is my life's blood.

without it i would cease to believe that expression through art can make change. 

now, i know a lot of people don't like music that makes you think

be honest, you like shit dumbed down.
