Lupe Quotables

Rapping wasn't the only talent Fiasco possessed that night, as the artist also recited a poem he dedicated to the works of President George W. Bush. In it, he expressed his thoughts about the current commander in chief."Many people know him as President Bush, but I know him personally as Mr. 'man with flaming shards of glass stuck in up his ass' Bush," he said.

"Where the Weed At"

Funny Quote of the Week

"If not for the holy month, I would have eaten (yummy) Lupe Fiasco alive."

GZA gives Props to Lupe & Other Chicago Artists

Are you hearing anything today that is taking hip-hop somewhere new?

A. I barely listen to hip-hop, unless it's something I can't really avoid. Hip-hop has taken such a drastic turn, but I'm liking what's coming out of Chicago: Common's stuff, Kanye West... The average street rapper may look at Kanye and go, "He's soft, he's not hood," but he's making good music! He's got good lyrics! I like Lupe [Fiasco], and I think he should be an example for these young dudes, because he has lyrics, can tell a great story and can capture you; he's not on the bull----, he's himself. That's the kind of music I like: When I sit down and write, I'm not afraid to be myself.

Gangsta Bush

Some People Got Guns...Bush Got BOMBS!!!! You know how Big a Bomb is...HUGE... And Bush likes to Drop these bombs on Innocent People...BOOM...Is that a school?...BOOM...Is that a group of Kids?...BOOM... President of the United States of American Terrorism!!!!

Oldie But a Goodie

THE ART OF DISTRACTION

Written by Lupe

Hello again…As I type this I’m on the road heading to Boston or someplace to promote the album…I got my MacBook Pro in my lap and I’m bumping Daft Punk in the headphones…The van is fulla bags ’cause I have to carry three times the amount of luggage of a normal person…

Here’s the breakdown…
1 Part Regular Everyday Clothes
1 Part Clothes For Photoshoots
1 Part Clothes For Performances

Add in another bag with just sneakers and the bags of my entourage and you can pretty much see the picture…”Robot Rock,” by the way…

For this entry I wanted to let ya’ll in on a little secret…I’m here to distract you…yup yup that’s right…me and all my fellow brothers and sisters in the wonderful world of entertainment are merely distractions to keep you from focusing on what’s really goin on in the world around you…Spooky ain’t it?Now, this aint a grand conspiracy to trap your mind and transform you into mindless uniformed cogs in the machine…Or is it? Some distraction is necessary and even therapeutic…”HEY look a flying saucer!!!” and as you look up, I pull the splinter out of your finger or something…or other methods to draw attention away from the pain so the problem can be fixed…sorry kinda rambling…anyway, the point is, music, movies and TV are mediums of distraction used to kinda numb the pain, which in cases where the message within the distraction is one of an informative and positive uplifting nature it can be very good thing.

The danger lies where the message in the distraction is one of destruction and cannonfodder. These distractions are the ones that flood media today and really nothing meaningful is extracted from these…and believe you me that the distribution of this kind of information is done very deliberatly by the powers that be…the goal of this society is not to uplift and meaningfully inform, because that is not its nature…The nature of this society is to gain capital and maintain an unfair balance of power that resides in the hands of the producers…Consumers are meant to do just that: consume…To inform the consumer in a meaningful manner means to empower him and give him aspirations to become a producer…The producers know that this is a threat to to their position of power. If consumers all of a sudden start wanting to become producers themselves and become aware of the tools to do so, it upsets the balance and starts making things fair and harder to gain capital because people would just consume the goods they produce themselves…which goes against the nature of the society…So to maintain society, the consumers are kept dumb…and not just on a level of intelligence, because truthfully the consumers are either on the same level or even smarter than the producers…the consumers are kept dumb on all levels from the knowledge of opportunity to how to grow food to the operation of a sewing machine…

Ask yourself, did you create any of the items in the room you are sitting in right now?…Secondly, do you know where they came from?…The raw materials used to make them?…Their origins?…The process that renders the raw materials into usuable materials?…Can you produce any of the food in your refridgerator?…If u can’t (and trust me, I can’t either) I think you pretty much know where you stand…and I don’t think 98% of the magazines or newspapers or CDs or movies or television programs are going to teach us how…I mean, who owns the companies that distribute these things???…I bet you know the correct operation of a semi-automatic firearm and the ingredients and cooking instructions to make freebase cocaine and the proper technique of felatio and the winner of the last NBA championship and how Paris Hilton looks naked and that Christopher Columbus discovered America and how much a Maybach costs and…Hey, me too!

I close on “The Primetime Of Your Life”…Daft Punk is soooo fresh…“Why kill you when I can just not teach you and get the same results?”-A Real Gangster

Lupe Quotables

MORE QUOTABLES FROM MESSAGEBOARDS, WEBSITES, INTERVIEWS, ETC...

sadness is not eternal but sadness is necessary to really appreciate happiness...dont sulk in your sadness be grateful for what is not lost and know that happiness is around the corner waitin to beat the ass food out of your sadness!!!

I have these big ass ants with wings all over my house now...one landed on me yesterday and I freaked out...I had to Lysol him unconcious then flush em' down the toilet...I abhor violence against animals but I just couldn't take it anymore...

If ya ever figure out time travel, let me in on the secret please!
Lupe: I think all u have to do is run backwards...and the spirit forces of leprchaun babies will take care of the rest............for a small fee ofcourse...

I can tapdance and grow a watermelon at the same time...while sleeping on the job as a fried chicken tester in a crackhouse

we missed u
Lupe: thats because u should use a high-powered scope with a laser beam attachment....

AND Here's a real old link I found about Lupe here or here...either one, doesn't matter, they're the same thing.

A Few of Lu's Fav Things

Favorite movie:"My favorite movie is probably, I should think of a movie that I watch over and over and over again; I really like 'Ronin,' with Robert De Niro. I've probably watched that movie like 25, 30 times."

Favorite book: "My favorite book is probably '1984,' under the Quran. The Quran, that's not even a favorite. That is my book. It's the book. But my favorite literary work is probably '1984' by George Orwell. Orwellian thought really captured me when I was in high school."

Favorite album: "My favorite rap album is Nas, 'It Was Written.' That's my favorite hip-hop album."

Favorite city: "Favorite thing of all time, or favorite place, how about favorite city? Favorite city is Paris. It's probably the most beautiful city in the world, architecturally and the way it's put together, just certain parts. But, overall, it's one of the most beautiful cities that I've ever been to, and there's just something about it. There's something mysterious and sexy about Paris, the language and everything. It's just dope."

Welcome to my world, where you get free shoes and stalkers.

I remember Exorcist came on late tv I was like 10 or something...I had scarfed down a bunch of veggie and threw up all of it in my sleepin sisters hair hahaha she was pissed

(to the tune of Chris Brown's Run It) It's some ham / on the flo' / should I eat it / Let me know / I wanna put it in my stomach, stomach

Now, I know I always say I try not to curse, but I really felt I had to fight ignorance with ignorance on this…I hate people who just talk to talk…and love to ridicule other people just so they can get attention….I’m well aware I can’t please everyone so I don’t try to and a lot of criticism just goes in one ear and out the other…But when people of some form of stature or merit that have a public forum in which they can share their thoughts and personal feelings such as this nigga right here get to yapping about some nonsense about me you best believe I’ll be right there to jump dead off in yo ass homey…Now on a lighter note…My favorite colors are blue and purple and my favorite food is anything that my Mama cooks….

Interviewer: Well, you have a great vibe, no doubt.
Lupe: Cool, cool, now let me go out here and sell some crack. I'm kidding.

Quotations from Lupe Fans

I've been reading different things that alot of fans have said about Lupe and I would like to share them with you...some of them proclaim how SEXXXYYY they think he is, whilst some just compliment him on his SKILLZ (ya know Bowhunting, Numbchuck...lol...Again I say, I love that movie) But they were all HILARIOUS to me (thats my favorite word, if you haven't noticed) ...SO READ & ENJOY!!!!

When he threw on a Gorillaz track for a back beat, I knew this was a man with class and taste. I mean, he sported Chucks and an Andy Warhol pin, and had on the first pair of hipster jeans I’ve seen on a rapper. Call ‘em the un-phat pants. They sagged just right beneath his boxers, then tapered off into a tight bunch at the ankles. And it didn’t hurt that he was ga-ga- gorgeous. To be honest, from the moment he cameout all I was thinking was: Can you please take me home with you?

I’ll say it upfront: I adore this album. If I saw Lupe on the street, I wouldn’t ask him for an autograph; I’d fucking thank him and give him my bike

Wow, what a super fun kid. Just super super fun. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious fun. Just a DJ, him and his "backup rapper" I will call the dude for lack of a better term, with a few singers coming to the stage for a song here or there. He's cute and sassy and fun and tells funny stories and dances like just a total goofball. I bought this album in January after sort of putting it off all fall. Then I hadn't even listened to it before going to this concert. I'm an idiot. When we finally find out what rare and incurable disease I am dying from, I want someone to contact the Make-a-Wish foundation and get me half-an-hour on the dancefloor with Lupe Fiasco.

My husband (referring to Lupe) is performing on the 25th and I must be in attendance. I’ll be damned if I miss him. I sound like a groupie. Oh well. He doesn’t fuck groupies anyway so I have nothing to worry about. I’m not trying to fuck. I wanna get married. LOL. Let me stop.

I learnt a lot about Lupe Fiasco that night. He is a martial arts master and is not afraid to dance around a table in the middle of a restaurant telling his animated stories. I liked the man and his entourage, they were good sorts who offered to "put us out" on myspace. Seeing as Lupe has 400, 000 friends, that could be a really big favour.

Lupe Quotables

This edition of Quotables show Lupe's response to questions that people asked him on messageboards (FM board back in the day) and interviews... HILARIOUS MIGHT I ADD...

so ur telling me ur also broke?.. :p
hahahahahaha OH NO my friend I'm Filthy Rich Actually...

is that your real name? lupe fiasco
No I was born Michigan Seymour McDougall Coogamellencamp Esquire The 18th to be exact....

didn't go the kanye route of makin a cd called "the college fuckthat"?
nope it was more fittingly titled "The College Can't Afford That, Better Stick To Rapping Or Be A Wandering Hobo"

lol - that's great....*shakes head and continues laughing*...got any advice for a kid who can write raps but can't freestyle???
uummmm...Write Freestyles!...

but that would be the same thing as writing raps, wouldn't it???? because freestyling's when you think of raps off the top of your head and rapping you write the lines down first....i can rap fine, but in freestyling i have to think a lot first and say parts of what i wanna say over and over....
uummmm....Quit!
whatever, i'll just stick to writing rhymes then....
just jiving homey...practice rhyming about nonsense, seriously, anything to get the flow out and then over time the subject matter will get better and better...now that'll be $4,000,000 dollars

lol dude ur so funny, do u do stand up comedy?
more like sitting sarcasm...

u stared rapping @ 8 whatcha rap about
8th grade!....not 8....and I was rapping a bout hennesy and biyaatch's...the breakfast of champions

On “He Gets the Girl” you woo a chick by talking about playing the tuba and having an autographed Linkin Park shirt. What kind of game do you kick?
I don’t kick game no more. If your purpose in life is to find that one person you can trust and be with for the rest of your life, it’s not gonna come through no game.
So you haven’t got hoes in different area codes?
We can jump on MySpace right now! Ask them, “Have you ever done anything with Lupe?” They’ll say, “No, I took a picture with him.” When I leave shows, I’ll walk right to my car and go straight to my hotel and go to sleep. Because to me, it’s a job.
