Lu Groupie Encounter

Lupe was in the store. Guy's real nice and a good sport. We cracked jokes for like an hour. We even tried to get him to skate and I showed him the stores downloaded copy of his album. Tim even told him flat out that he didnt want to go to his show. He just kept smiling the whole time. Probably cause he makes a lot of money and nerds with blogs don't.

MixMasterMegan Says

Yo yo yo......MixMasterMegan guest blogging in this bitch. The wonderful president (who has the same name as me btw) asked if I'd like to share some Lupe stories with you and I was more than happy to...

*Throws on a Lionel Richie "Hello is it me you're looking for?"* OKay, let's begin.

I'll share the story of the very first time I met the whole gang...

The date was March 6th, 2006. My good friend Smashley and I took the 40 minute drive to Chicago in hopes of finding Lupe and FNF radio. We found the school it was at, blah blah blah...sat in the student lounge and waited. RIGHT before the show was supposed to begin in walked Lupe and we said to each other "Omg is that him??" Then we walked up to him and he kinda looked at us like 'Who the hell are these two white girls?'

We said,"Umm..can we have your autograph??" and he replied "Sure!!" Then he even took some pictures with us and insisted we do so in a karate type stance....which didn't work out incredibly well..which is why I look like a retard in my picture and it makes me sad...


BUT ANYWAYS, we thanked him and whatnot and turned to leave and he said "Aren't you guys staying for the show??" We said "Ohhh yeah, okay" and turned to sit back down in the student lounge. He was like "No no, come in the studio" Then he said,"Ya'll know my man Bishop G"?? We just kinda stood there with dumbfounded looks like "Yeah....." (having NO idea who the hell he was)


So....we stayed for the whole show and it became a weekly ritual. We started answering phones and that was that. It was a sexy time for all.


........


hahahah


Love, Megan

When Did you first fall in love with Lupe's music?

Well let's see, this could take awhile, but this is really how it all started. I heard one of his mix tape tracks awhile back, can't even remember the date. It was actually "Conflict Diamonds". I wasn't die hard then, I just really dug the track and couldn't for the life of me find out who this cat was. He emerged again, well in my world, in "Touch The Sky". The third verse was my fave on the song, I didn't know it was the same guy at the time. All I knew was his name was Lupe Fiasco. Then came, "Kick, Push", which my boyfriend actually put me on to. From there, I snatched up all his mix tapes and fell for his music. He was actually one of the first rappers in a loooooong time to really catch my attention. His lyrics really grab hold of the listener, like you want to learn every verse, every hook. Of course, I added F&L to my very extensive CD collection. I probably listen to that CD everyday, no lie. My friends, boyfriend, everyone can testify. I mean the radio isn't worth listening to these days. His album and mix tapes are just timeless, I just hit repeat and random, and let it play. He's real, I can relate, and he's goofy as hell.

For some reason, I never thought he would make it to VA, but he did. March 7, 2007 with The Roots. Yea I was standing front row with some of my girlfriends. I have to say that was hands down the BEST show that I've ever had that chance to witness. They both put it down. I even got to be one of the very special ladies he serenaded on, "Sunshine". 3rd verse. He looked shocked that I was spitting the lyrics word for word, he was like smirking. But shouldn't all his die hard fans know the words? My friend recorded it with her camera phone, wish I could upload it, but she tried and failed. After Lu's set, he actually stayed around for The Roots show watching like he'd just seen it for the first time. We got to party with Bishop G, and his manager friend, which you probably met. I got a compliment there from him said I was "super fresh", he liked my kicks, and asked me where I got them from. Would've been nicer coming from Lu but I'm content. I got to watch Lu party onstage with The Roots while his friends commentated with us. I was actually suppose to open up (background dancer for an artist) for another concert he was performing in, but that fell through (heartbroken). I still ended up going to the show, but it would've been so much sweeter to actually have opened up. But oh well, after those two shows I'm still going strong, not letting up. Lupe is a genius in my world.

If you could steal one thing from Lupe Fiasco, what would it be and why?

I would definitely steal some time from him. I just want to act up with him, and travel, cause I swear he gets to go to the best places, London, Japan, Paris. That way I'd be up on my fashion game like he is. GQ w/o a question done so effortlessly. Gotta love that!

And Im talking about just random pictures with people, and not photoshoots, because I noticed he poses just about the same in those too, But thats another post that I'll get to later...

And Lastly, If you're Lucky, You get the Abstract/Doesn't Fit Into Any Other Category Pose...

WHICH POSE DO YOU HAVE???
