Lupe Fiasco at SOBs
On Wednesday May 14th, S.O.B.'s presents Grammy-winning hip-hop star, Lupe Fiasco, live in concert. Lupe last performed at S.O.B.'s in 2006, shortly after his debut Food & Liquor was released, and since then, he has followed up with the critically acclaimed Billboard-topping sophmore effort, The Cool, and sold-out various New York venues like The Fillmore NY and Hammerstein Ballroom. He is also on the bill for Kanye West's "Glow In The Dark Tour", which hits MSG for a sold-out show on May 13th. On May 14th, Lupe returns to S.O.B.'s to give fans an intimate concert experience unique to the legendary venue.
Lupe's selection by Rolling Stone as part of its "Top 10 Artists to Watch in 2006" has turned out to be almost prophetic and inspired clairvoyance. Since first coming onto the music scene in 2006 with his show-stopping verse on Kanye West's hit single, "Touch The Sky", Lupe has climbed from success to superstardom. Lupe received the 2008 Grammy award for "Daydreamin' (ft Jill Scott)" for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. Armed with material from the new and hugely popular The Cool, and swollen fanbase, Lupe returns to S.O.B's on the 14th of May, for an up-close-and-personal concert that is sure to be one to remember.
"...one of the year's best hip-hop albums" -The New York Times, Jon Pareles' on The Cool.
Ticket Info: $37.50 General Admission; Available on Ticketmaster and at the S.O.B.'s Box Office, 212-243-4940. Doors open at 7pm.

Turbo is NOT Dead!!
This footage is fairly old. In fact, I told him a while ago I was going to put it up and never did. I am a woman of my word, I just like to do stuff on my own time. And he wasn't even pesky and bothering me about putting it up. Thats why I like him. I kinda miss Bagger Vance though, him and his goofy golf outfit...
But for the record, since I noticed he has a whole thread over at SOHH.com forum about him being dead, I just wanted to set the record straight. And put the video up as well.

'Lupe Fiasco Vs. Others'
In the article, the writers compare the lyrics of Lu to that of others in the mainstream hip hop game on a particular topic. The topic of the first installment is "lyrical ability and, more so, the ability to brag about yourself or your lyrical skills." You should definitely leave comments here or there and let them know what you think of the piece.
Also it would be interesting to here what your favorite Lupe Bars are.
One of mine has to be from one his mixtape, 'Fahrenheit 1/15 Part I: The Truth Is Among Us'
on the 'Rock The Mic' freestyle
''Don't Intervine Chumps/ Your far from the hood/ Like Limousine Trunks''
