8.5 out of 10 StarsThe Good: "Go Go Gadget Flow," "Gotta Eat," and "Little Soldiers" are excellent songs, must-downloads.The Bad: Production is mediocre in some spots. Lupe Fiasco has been pegged as a artist with potential to become the next big thing in hip hop. His debut album, Food & Liquor, was a huge critical success and built a large following of devotees, though sometimes it seems as if those two things can do more harm than good. Despite the huge buzz, critical p... MORE

Lupe has been releasing videos from "The Cool" for just about six months now, which is a rarity in today's climate. Most artists are only shooting one or two videos to keep costs down. "Hip Hop Saved My Life" featuring Nikki Jean is a GREAT song and the video captures the essence perfectly.
Maybe Lupe is actually serious about the next album being his last, and wants to make sure he leaves behind a healthy catalog of vids. But that's just me thinking out loud.

Lupe Fiasco dropped his sophomore release, The Cool just today and already the positive reviews are rolling in. While Amanda Diva is warming the air with her smooth sounds this week, Lupe is freezing out the competition. All the silliness that has surrounded his rep in the last few months is forgotten the instant the music starts. Check out these three diverse reviews of The Cool: Art of Rhyme gave it a 4.3 out of 5RWD Mag gave it a 5 out of 5Washington Post review Lu... MORE

Lupe Fiasco delivered a great performance of "Superstar" alongside Matthew Santos on last night's Late Show With David Letterman. It was Dave's first night back after a two month layoff due to the writer's strike. I don't know about you guys but I was getting sick of the re-runs... Check out the performance below.

I don't really watch alot of rap videos anymore, mostly because a majority of the ones played these days are crap. Just ask Phonte from Litte Brother: (opening verse from LB's new album) "Had to tell my son, 'Turn that bullshit off! Them ain't video's n*a, that's psychological warfare'" Well, Lupe Fiasco and a select few other rap artists (kanye, common, kweli, etc) have been playing their part in keeping the art of the video alive. Peep Lupe's new video for his already... MORE

I'm really excited about this album. I heard it a few weeks ago at a private listening party, and I was impressed. It's dope, and what I heard was better than Food & Liquor, about half of which I'm a huge fan of...

So what's really good with Lupe Fiasco? From interviews, sounds like he's a tad bit jaded by the way things have turned out with his rap career. In this business I guess you can only go but so far when corporations at the end of the day hold whether or not you will be famous in the balance. (One day we'll realize that the music we hear on commercial radio and most every media outlet is programmed. Possibly, on the same day we realize that we actually have power to affect c... MORE
