BIG ASS SHOUT OUT TO THE GIRLS CRUNK AS HELL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO LMAO!
Thurzday on Lupe...
So over here at The Lupe Fiasco Show we will be doing a new feature called What The Artist Say... We will be asking some of Lupe Fiasco's fellow colleagues what they think about Lupe, his music, and what he brings to hip-hop...Our very first installment comes from a guy who has opened for Lupe Fiasco and is 1/2 of the breakout LA hip-hop group U-N-I...
THIS IS THURZDAY!
and here's what he had to say about Mr. Fiasco...
"I think Lupe is one of the premiere lyricists...He delivers on great concepts and I hope he continues his career after LupEND.
And he needs to jump on sum records with U-N-I"
These will be happening sporadically...its interesting to hear what other artist have to say about Lu! Im sure everyone thinks hes great just like we do :)
Stay tuned to the blog for more!
THANKS THURZDAY!

Mendi's Review...
One of out faithful readers attended the WORLD FAMOUS LUPE FIASCO SHOW las night at IU...here's her review
Let me get set details out of the way first. He started off the show with "Kick Push." There is no way I can remember the exact order of songs but included in the set were "Sunshine," "Go Go Gadget Flow," "Paris Tokyo," "I Got Ya," "Superstar," "Hip-hop Saved my Life," "Little Weapon,"and it capped off with "Daydream." There was also some new material thrown in there somewhere, stuff that Lupe called incomplete works and none of them were titled. As a matter of fact one had a chorus of "new shit," and as they moved to each new piece in this jam session Lupe would simply say, "Let's do that other shit." Whatever the case, if the lyrics on display were any indication LUP-end is going to be hot! Be ready at the end of 2009 for that! Yes, Lupe himself said that the end of 2009 is when we can expect the new album which will also be his last.
And how do I describe this show? I simply do not know how! Lupe has an amazing energy! He and Bishop G seemed to truly be enjoying every minute of being onstage, and their energy was amazing! Couple that with the fact Lupe had a live band, which if you ask me makes shows that much better... simply amazing. If you've not been to a Lupe Fiasco show you're definitely missing out on something truly awesome! And he didn't just perform the songs. He did talk some, once before the song "Little Weapon" about how war is unneessary and how things could be different if we allocated our money differently instead of spending it on war. And at one point in the show he endorsed Barack Obama, which I admit I found surprising given some dialogue that took place earlier in the year. But that's okay! At any rate, the show is one I won't soon forget, and if Lupe comes anywhere close again I'll most definitely try my best to be there! That show was worth every little bit I spent on those tickets!
And it's not a concert experience if I don't talk about what happened afterwords. My roommate and I decided that we were going to try the trick of finding the tour bus to see if we could perhaps get a quick meet and greet with Lupe. Without saying too much... it worked. I now have Lupe Fiasco and Bishop G's autographs on my ticket stub. My roommate didn't think to bring a camera and unfortunately I dont' have pics to prove it, but that's all right. The memories are good enough for me.

A dressed down Lupe Fiasco talked with the Defender during a press junket held before the start of the concert.

Windy City Times Interview with Lupe Fiasco
"WCT: I love your song “Hip Hop Saved my Life.” What inspired it?
LF: When I did that song a year and half ago, Hip Hop was getting a lot of bad press. I wanted to put a statement out there that Hip Hop saves a lot of people. Sometimes that's all people have got.
WCT: How did you get involved with the tour?
LF: Coca-cola invited me out. This gave me an opportunity to perform my music for a large section of my fan, which are underage kids and teenagers. I have done this venue before. This group can't come to the venues that are 18 and over.
WCT: Do you have other tours planned for the future?
LF: I am putting together a big college tour for the fall. Then I am going back overseas."
http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=19194
College Tour means its time for me to hit up another show....waiting on a full list of tour dates to surface (Busy) so I can post them(and see which ones im going to attend of course)...until then I know hes gonna be performing in Baltimore on Oct 11 because me and Brandi are GOING TO THAT SHOW :)

Complex.com Feature Available Now Online
Because if people stop, it’s usually because they don’t want to do it anymore, because they lost their love of it.
Lupe Fiasco: Usually. Now how unusual am I? Like, real talk. How unusual? I’m the most unusual rapper in the rapping business.
You’re one of them.
Lupe Fiasco: And I’m not even talking about “Yo, this dude just wore a bathrobe,” I’m talking about “He looks like this lame-ass nerd nigga, but he carries himself like he’s this fly-ass, gangsta nigga. This nigga did a song about robots, dog.”
Thanks for the link Ashish. Anytime.

After already working on denim and t-shirts in recent years, Lupe Fiasco and False continue their collaboration project and they are getting ready to launch Fallacy Of Rome, an entire collaboration capsule collection.
For now the website is in stand-by mode and has a count-down running, indiciating that the site and collection will be launching in the next 5 weeks.

Teens from W.D Mohammed High @ the WORLD FAMOUS Lupe Fiasco Show :)
My girl Summiyah recently scored some tickets for a group of highschool kids that she mentors and decided to take the kids to experience the world famous Lupe Fiasco Show! Here's a review that one of her students wrote about the show...
What constitutes a Good Friday night? Free tickets to see Lupe Fiasco? Oh, yes. A slim chance to meet him in person? Even better. This past Friday a group of 40 students and supervisors from W.D. Mohammed High School, myself included, attended the Refresh Your Flow Tour concert in Atlanta, Ga. The headliners: Lupe Fiasco and Karina.
After standing in line bunched together, for what seemed like the better part of a lifetime, we were admitted into the Tabernacle. Tickets were scanned, groups were formed, and for those of us fortunate enough to make it to the front of queue, pictures were taken without the rush of trying to find a good spot near the stage.
Following a lot of radio fanfare and an introduction by Coca-Cola Representatives (asking us to take heed of the FREE coke products at our disposal on both sides), Karina was finally brought on stage. Her performance was short, but sweet, and I got to hear a song I’d never heard before but apparently everyone else knew by heart, “16 at War”.
Towards the end people became restless, “Where’s Lupe?” they asked, followed by some half-hearted clapping when the radio guy came back on stage. But he wasn’t there for long. Lupe was in the building; and the hyped up tension that could be felt outside was back again.
And then it began. The lights changed, and the music started (what could be better than a live band?). The moment we’d all been waiting for was finally here. Lupe strolled on stage just in time to begin “The Instrumental”, and everybody went CRAZY!
Song after song with his boundless energy, from air guitar with his mic stand to clapping with his kicks, Lupe worked the crowd. Halfway through I was hoarse and couldn’t hear myself think, let alone scream. But I belted the words to “Hip Hop Saved My Life” and “Kick, Push” anyway. And even though you can never tell who the artists are really looking at during these things, my friend Isoke swears he was staring at her the whole time.
So how does this Good Friday night end? Well among free giveaways, you can count an amazing performance by a true Hip-Hop artist, me catching Lupe’s towel (and he smells oh so good), and although we didn’t get to meet him in person, taking pictures with Chilli from TLC isn’t a bad trade.
Peace and Love,
