The E.N.D of lupethefiasco.blogspot.com?

As it says on Lupe's Myspace...all things must come to an END. Sadly, that time has come where us Femmes have decided to put lupethefiasco.blogspot.com to rest...

Ever since Megan has started this blog it has been a family affair...and I truly love all of my Femmes LIKE SISTERS and have enjoyed being a part of this blog. From shows, to interviews, to The Cool...everyone has shown us sooooo much love (and hate/jealousy from a few)and it has ALL be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Never did we think that this blog would be able to go as far as it has done so far...and we like to think that we have set a high standard for other fan blogs to come :)

With all that said...this will be the very LAST POST ON LUPETHEFIASCO.BLOGSPOT.COM! Thanks to all the readers that have stuck with us this far...you will be happy to know that...



WE HAVE A BRAND SPANKIN' NEW SITE BITCHES!!!!!!!

Hey Champ Interveiw w/ Ruby Hornet



"RubyHornet: You signed to 1st and 15th, which is run by Lupe Fiasco, and at the time of your signing was primarily a Hip Hop label. Why did you decide to sign with them, and were there any musical "language barriers" so to speak in terms of the approach you wanted to take and how they were used to doing things?

Hey Champ!: Lupe is an artist first and foremost. He liked what we were doing and gave us freedom and leeway to record our album the way we wanted. We have a great working relationship with him. It was really a no-
brainer, he's a superstar who wanted to endorse us."


Much Love to the wonderful guys of Hey Champ! Click here to read the full interview

Ludacris,Lupe Fiasco electrify student crowd: A TCNJ Review



"The raw energy generated by Fiasco spilled into the crowd as hands stayed up, waving and pulsing to such songs as "Hello Goodbye," "Go Go Gadget" and "Little Weapon."

Following his song "Streets on Fire," Fiasco said he would begin singing songs that were nominated for Grammy Awards.

Crowd participation skyrocketed when "Kick Push" and "Paris Tokyo" were performed but when the opening piano notes of Fiasco's monster hit, "Superstar" began to play, there were few who were not singing along with the superstar."

Nikki Jean Interview (Part 2)



"Q: Speaking of hip-hop... Hip hop saved my life. What inspired you to write the hook for that song?

NJ: Lupe! He gave me the track and said I want to write the song about this. Write the hook. It was really that. He already knew - he had the whole story of the song mapped out before I even wrote the hook. He was like, here’s the track, heres the concept, write the hook and that was it. You gotta give him what he wants. (laughs)"

Rhymefest talks Lupe via Twitter

If you're not following Rhymefest (or Me!) on Twitter then you need too! Not only does he play his weekday vs game (which is extremely entertaining) tonight he decided to ask people to name rappers and he was going to tell a story about each...of course myself and other lupe fans on twitter were bombarding him with request to tell us an encounter he had with our main man Lupe and this is what he said :)

"RHYMEFEST Lupe is kinda weird to me. We sat next to each other on a plane and talked Islam before we returned to awkward silence."


WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED! Love Ya Fest! Don't kill me for posting your tweet :)
