Lupe Fiasco

”There’s a misunderstanding with my fanbase,” he says. ”People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do. They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.

”I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”

Sounds like Lupe is in it for more then the money and the amenities of fame. I however would probably run with the 400 mil and the Bentley. Sorry Lupe!

Full Story: The Age

I been trying to explain this people for forever. The Westside of Chicago is a war zone and has always been. The Westside is literally riddled with crime, on average you can see about 5-7 kids on the corner. Gang’s such as: The Blackstones, Vice lord’s, and The Souls totally dominate the street. I usually spend my summers over on Lawndale street and over there I’ve seen some absolutely unimaginable sh*t.

In partnership with the United Nations Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and Dave Matthews Band’s BAMA Works Haitian relief effort, Music for Relief is working to provide immediate aid with food, water, and emergency medical supplies, and long-term sustainable housing solutions for the people affected by this catastrophic natural disaster.

The compilation features the likes of Linkin Park, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Alanis Morissette, Slash, The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Kenna, Enrique Iglesias and more. Click here to donate, and hit the jump to listen to the rest of the project.

Personal opinion: Is it just me, or does it not sound like Lupe speaks a bunch of sh*t that doesn’t make sense? I honestly feel that the only reason people cling to Lupe is: the fact that they’re caught in the whole “ideology” of what Hip-Hop is, and think that by listening to Lupe that it justifies you as being Hip-Hop. If you’re a Lupe Fiasco fan, can you help me to understand please, maybe I am missing something. “Because a n*gga were a kufi it don’t mean that he’s bright/ and beacuse you don’t understand him it dont mean that he’s right” -Jay-Z
