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 :)
and here's a few words that Mano left us via Myspace

Here's what he said about THE GRAMMY AWARD WINNING AND 8 TIME NOMINATED Lupe Fiasco and The Cool :)
"Lupe Fiasco is one of the most slept on artists. A lot of people didn’t clock the depth of his lyrical skills on this project, and he may have needed a couple more ‘Superstars’ to get that mass media attention.
The Carter 3 is hot, as ‘808s & Heartbreak’, but ‘The Cool’ is a body of work in the same way that ‘College Dropout’, or ‘Black & Both sides are. This is pure Hip-Hop, one of those classic albums where you don’t have to press the forward button on any track, and every time you listen to it, you clock a deeper meaning behind what he was saying.
‘Streets on fire’ is my favourite joint, his performance at Somerset House in 08′ was exceptional, he has longevity in this Hip-Hop game even though he keeps threatening to retire."
So glad that lu is part of that Evolution...IT'S GREATNESS...PURE GREATNESS...Pharrell and Chad are absolutely amazing!...Shout out to everyone that reps VIRGINIA!
