FNF Radio is HILARIOUS!!!

I've been listening to the old clips of the show and it is absolutely hilarious. I think all fans and people who think Lu is just a conscious, political, martial arts, streetwear, Noam Chomsky reading, skateboarding nerd, should hear this because you get to really get a glimpse of how funny and crazy he really is. I don't know him personally, of course, but after listening to FNF Radio I feel like I do.

go to forthomechicago.com/FNF.html


There are twleve different shows and to get to them just substitute the number after FNF, for example, forthomechicago.com/FNF6.html or FNF1.html

(Also you have to find the link and Save Target as in order to download the show to your computer so that you can hear it, most of the links are easy to find, but some of them, the pictures contain the mp3 link. Just right click, save target as, and you should be able to listen.)

And from listening to this I also have come to a conclusion of why Lupe has so many problems with his throat and voice.....and the problem goes by the name of Bishop G....lol...Listen to the radio show and you will understand why I say this....lol...and Im not hating on Bishop at all, I actually love Bishop and think that he is a pure crazed fool...But....lol...watch the Youtube clip to get a look @ the craziness that is FNF Radio

I missed Lupe's performance @ the DC show

Yeah so I was definitely on CP time when I arrived at the show almost about 2 hours after it started. But for the record it wasn't really my fault, my family x DC/MD traffic being hell = Me being late.

I was told he started promptly at 8, which was surprising to me, and ended his set at like 8:30 p.m. which was probably due to the fact that more people at the show wanted to see their very own DC GoGo artist, Mr. Chuck Brown.

So yeah I was upset, BUT the Roots were excellent, Great Show, and I got a bootleg Lupe/Roots/Chuck Brown concert shirt for only $10 after the show, so I was fairly satisfied.

Next time...I WILL be on time!!!!!



Just a few of my camera phone pictures, the ushers at Constitution Hall wouldn't let me take pictures with my camera, BASTARDS!!!!

Just a Few Pictures and of course a Youtube clip...

Kinda cool



The caption to this was "What do you mean, Do I want some Fried Chicken?" (or something like that...lol)


The shoe Lu refers to as his favorite of all-time, the John Lennon Chuck Taylor, with the message "Imagine all the people living life in peace" going across the toe.



Lu dancing on stage at Roots concert @ the Norva in Norfolk VA...

I'm Going to Lupe Concert in DC...YAYYYY!!!!!!!

I'm too excited right now....YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!...Ok, I'm good now...

But yeah I just got word from my cousin in DC that she got me my tickets and so tomorrow as soon as I'm done with class, I'M OUT...Can't wait to see him in Concert again, the first time was in North Carolina @ UNC Chapel Hill, it was OUTSTANDING!!!!! (And Yeah The Roots should be good too)

I just had to brag for a bit...But I'm done now

The Fiasco Family

I love YouTube as you can tell...But here is a clip of Lupe and his family on New Years as the clip name says, doing typical normal family things, eating, laughing, having a good time, chillin wit your Celebrity relative Lupe Fiasco, you know typical family stuff.

But I ask you, If Lupe wasn't in this clip, Would anybody even want to watch this??...I don't think so...But we live in such a celebrity-obsessed culture that even watching celebrities doing nothing is entertainment...But Hey, what can you do, but WATCH THE CLIP!!!!!! LOL

Video Tribute to Lu's Father, Gregory Hamza Jaco

This is a video tribute to Gregory Hamza Jaco. The clip from Youtube actually shows some of the memorial service that was held in his honor. From this video you can see how many lives he touched that will have a major effect on them forever. After watching this, it made me think about what would people would have to say about me when I'm gone from this earth...

Lu is shown in the video, he has a white headband (probably not the proper term) tied around his head. This video was NOT done by me, but by archanjo88 on Youtube. This is what was said by archanjo88...

This is a tribute to my first sensei, Master Hamza Gregory Jaco, April 5, 1992-February 26, 2007. I met Jaco when I was 15 years old in the Winter of 1968. We were Explorer Scouts together. Jaco has always been a major influence in my life. He was an example to live up to, a man who challenged you and himself to be better people in spite of whatever flaws we might have. He was well respected in the community. A warrior, master drummer, comic, philospher,and humanitarian. Not having seen him in years I went looking for him while I was doing research on The Search for Count Dante. I interviewed him in early August of 2006. He died last Monday, February 26, 2007. He was buried in the Islamic tradition on Tuesday, February 27. His memorial was held in Chicago at Bethel Church on Friday, March 2.

Just Beautiful.

(There is also a video of the burial, that is located in the videos of archanjo88 on Youtube, but I chose not to post that one on here. You can go see it for yourself. It shows Lu and other people helping at the burial)

It Wasn't A Rumor...DEEPEST SYMPATHIES

It was not a rumor...Lu's father did pass...He wrote a message on Okayplayer.com messageboard....Again my deepest condolences and prayers go out to all affected by this news.

"My Inspiration. My Beloved. For My Pops..."Tue Feb-27-07 08:35 PM by FNF
UP UP AND AWAY

I buried my father today...you may not know him but if you ever listened to my music then he is the Ghostwriter in the cut...He was the foundation of my thoughts and beliefs...He was the one that dared me to be different in light of peer pressure & the status quo...He dared me to stand for justice and righteousness in the face of ridicule and exclusion...He introduced me to The world of Music...He gave me a purpose...a reason to live and something to fight for...Something to Rap about...He gave me the weapons of self-defense...He showed me the realities of this world that lie behind the facade...He taught me the importance of a man's word in thisworld...for it is all that he truly has...besides faith in God...My father was a great man...He literally fought the "Good" fights in the face of insurmountable odds for the sake of the struggle and for the hearts & minds & spirits of his people...He waged a war of enlightment and amassed an army of light to fight against the forces of darkness and the soldiers of ignorance...He touched the lives of innumberable amounts of people whether it was through Martial Arts, Music, Religion, Social & Community Activism, The Sciences or just seeing his hand-painted, brightly decorated Church Van full of young kids from the hoody hood on his way to 63rd street beach pass you by...

May Allah Have Mercy On His Soul & Allow him Into The Gates Of Heaven....I Love You Baba.....We Love You....

"Tell The Truth" -His Last Words To Me....

Salaam....Sincerely, Wasalu Muhammad Jaco A.K.A "Lupe Fiasco" son of Gregory Hamza Jaco A.K.A "Baby Rollin' Thunder" "Tanaka Sensei" "Baba"

RUMOR CONTROL!!!!!!!!! SAD NEWS!!!!

DISCLAIMER: AS OF THIS MOMENT, THIS IS JUST A RUMOR, I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS TRUE OR NOT, I REPEAT THIS IS JUST A RUMOR AS OF NOW.

Allhiphop.com is reporting that Lupe's father has died of unknown causes. IF THIS IS TRUE, I send my condolences to him, his family, friends and anyone else who this news may affect.

I heard about this early yesterday because one of my friends noticed that people were writing messages on Lupe's page about how sorry they were about the death of his father. And also another Myspace page had a message on it from one of Lupe's family members that hinted to the fact that this rumor may actually be true or at least something happened to his father.

Again, IF THIS IS TRUE, I am truly sorry about the loss. I send my prayers to everyone affected. I cannot imagine what it is like to lose a parent, but I wish everyone the strength to pull through as best they can during this unfortunate time. Again, I am sorry.
