Lupe Fiasco Ft. Matthew Santos - Superstar [New]
Uploaded by Yannicklord

"the cool" is coming. i don't mean a cold front i mean the sophomore release by back pack prodigy, Lupe Fiasco. The Cool promises to be a follow up the song on his first LP by the same name. It picks up where that story left off and gets deeper. Lupe says the LP is grim but will not be "too" concept heavy. Just right. hopefully it won't come out sounding like a fantasy flick. i dig Lupe. A LOT and here is the first single (dumb it down was just a teaser) "SUPER STAR". Video directed by "Believe the..." Hype Williams. Its wonder!


"the cool" chase it to the dec. 18 release date.

its nice to hear good jigga rap.
my dude heard the LP long before i had and he told me "they gone try to do everything they can to say it ain't hot". whether you like Jay-Z or not, he's nice period. its like saying Kobe can't play, its just not true!

radio stations love to bring up lil wayne any time jay is brought up but weezy does not have a classic LP, jay at least has two and listen to American Gangster. It may be 3.


l'chaim!

how small is the world?

I saw this video maybe a year ago...
I thought the song was dope, plus the neptunes are some of my favorite producers. It was just hot to see this whole thing taking place. the creative energy was kinda nice to watch. the little chick in the video is just chilling.

now like two months ago, i met her. she came to one of my parties. talk about partaking. she's a friend of mine now. we ain't like rolling around the blocks together but damn its cool to meet someone like her. the world just shrank like 1000 miles. i thought this was somewhere in brazil. lol

she's Natasha Ramos.
btw.
she's gonna kill.

commercial rap

...this is the good kind...

does anyone else remember waking up to seeing this on saturday mornings

i would watch joe clair or big lez on the rap city countdown and this commercial was like my favorite. can't really think of a commercial that compares to this today. you know, as far as one with emcees and a product i like. Nike used Juelz Santana for some commercial. so like i said...i can't really thing of a commercial that compares to this today.

sorry.

How to Win Me! Styling on you

You guessed it clowns! Its another How to Win Me!

I got this weird little phrase i say on the low. its in a verse as well. "Tastemakers taste better"

I adore a fashionable woman but the edge on that is one that is so unique in her look.

Big up to people like Crystal Meth and Muffy for being bold in their look but not just for the sake of being different. Actually pulling off something innovative. hot ish ladies. you've won yourself a spot on this superficial list of compliments! lol

im a sucker for it

so sex sells.
no news flash but this is a pretty hot picture.and apparently there is an equally hot picture with the frangrance mushed between a pair of boobs.
i can't believe i actually typed the word "boob"
that sounds like an epithet for a "retarded" kid.

boy, am i a loser.

How to Win Me! complex simplicity

Another How to Win Me! is pretty simple and i think it is a reasonable a request. Women all over should fix their eyes on this goal and begin making advances toward it.

Be Alicia Keys!

Alicia has a wonderful balance of sex and class. Hood and Hollywood. The scales tilt in the favor of the man who macked her. Justice is served. I've not seen her out looking messy at award shows. She's not always in the news and she can play the shit out of a piano. Got my vote. Let's start cloning!

OKAY now, if you can't seem to accomplish the task of getting god to remake you physically as alicia keys and getting the devil to swap your soul for hers for me then (i think you're giving up too easily) at least do this: BE Complex! That's what i think she has that I like. Hit a U-Turn, ma I dropping you back off if you talking like "what you see is what you get". I like a layered woman. Let me discover you from one date to the next. We can really grow like that, I'm a puzzle-case my damn self. it keeps it fresh and interesting.


make it last forever...

How to Win Me!

Being that i see myself becoming more of a sex symbol everyday, i will begin posting tips on how to win me.

How To Win Me's are basic things i like girls to do, wear, say or even eat!!! lol I'm off the rocker for this but if you wanna win, relax and take notes.

The first How To Win Me is (not necessarily the No.1 How To Win Me! its just the first thing i posted) Strategically Placed Body Art. I love tatts on chicks but don't get some popeye shit on your forearm if you have hair arms or some rapper type ink on your chest or stomach. you can even be hood with, but keep it lady like. this is one is my favorite.

yeeen't know?

what do i want

we gave away ice cream and the city spoke. they thought it was my big brother's idea. before they made the effort to credit me with the ingenious decision to treat the city with delight. i want my name in lights. i did it for the glory. to this day i do it for the glory. do you not have any dignity, actually yes. i have integrity and its keeps me far away from the wack. i'd be obliged to dance in the streets and paint the town red if all it took was a D.J. and some sloppily dressed women but sadly it takes more. it takes Jay West, fuckas. they've not seen the likes of what i intend on doing. so what do i want? step back and look at me. i take lots of pictures. really good ones. i make music. i say my name a lot. its all there for you to see. forget me not.

partake.

'scuse me miss

"they want us all gone eventually"

I remember nas said that on If I Ruled The World...

currently, nas has come under fire for his use of the word NIGGA. Not in past use but because the LP he tentatively plans on releasing this winter will be titled just that...NIGGA. In all actuality Hip Hop is Dead was to be titled that but he did not feel the game was ready. Was he right? Have we not advanced far enough out of that time? I stopped using the word Nigga a while back. my reasons are personal but this LP could go many directions and could do many things. people are saying that nas is setting us back...??? really.


Jay-Z did a song a while back called ignorant shit and it basically was a slick-shit-kick at those who applaud him for talking reckless but ignore the times he speaks about anything with an ounce of substance. This reminds me of that. Nas has been in the game this many years and I doubt that he is gonna start shucking and jiving now. I don't think he will do an album called NIGGA and feed us watermelon rhymes. I hold him in higher esteem and I have never met the man. I appreciate the work that he's put in thus far and for him to be questioned on some setting us back shit is funny. Does this look like a reality show? Is he playing himself while the joke is on him. I got a bad taste in my mouth from Flavor Of Love and this seems to tickle the palate a little more than that. I am with Nas. Not that it counts to him or Def Jam but to those who would wonder what I would think of my favorite emcee naming his album NIGGA, I say its no different than American Gangster.

thanks, FK.

platform for my vanity.

character

i'm in this role. not no T.I. vs TIP shit but I'm getting sick of this Jay West game all the time. In a recent conversation with a girl, I expressed my dislike for "the scene" right now. The contributors are cool but there are people who get all caught up in keeping the scene what it is. Lets grow people. Lets have fun and lets get money. I wanna blow shit up. maybe i'm wilding.

i'm a rapper but fuck rap
i'm a promoter but fuck parties.

i am justin too...fuck jay west right now.


i wish i was nowhere.

HOTTEST MC’s in the game right now...

Who would you top 10 be?

HOTTEST MC’s in the game right now...

1. Kanye – The Music speaks for itself. The man knows what he’s doing. Whether its produced by him or his voice is on it, he just makes good records that transcend genres. He has to touch the 50 Cent fans, the Mos Def Fans, and John Mayer Fans. He’s on so many radars, that’s hot.

2. Wayne – The Hunger is out of this world. its 3rd worldly! The kid is eating beats and he still going. The curiosity about if he’s writing his own ish is what got a lot of people tuning in but he’s been proving track by track that if he ain’t just nice on his own that he’s got a lot a stacks to shell out to ghost writers.

3. T.I. – The South can not be denied and its legitimate presence over the past few years has a lot to do with artists like T.I. He can hold his weight on songs with Jay-Z and throw bows on songs with Bun B. A lot can be said about a man who proclaimed himself the king of the south but more can be said when a region embraces him as such. T.I. is hot right now.

4. 50 cent – The Power is undeniable. I am not a 50 fan by any means but I have never been a hater. It was clear that the man muscled his way through the industry into the spot he has now. 50 has thrown shots at some big dogs and taken shots from some others but has not stutter stepped a bit and with this coming album he isn’t not worried the slightest about my #1 pick. Dude gets money.

5. Jay-Z – The Blueprint of what rappers would like to become. The name you can not run away from in any rap conversation is H to the Izzo. Hova cemented himself into the shoes of the Biggies and Pacs and broke that mold by doing things like buying basketball teams and bucking Cristal. Y’all can bullshit with rap if you want, muhfuckas!

6. Snoop Dogg – The Coast is clear. Snoop is not worried a bit. Rappers will still come calling for him to grace their wax and lace their tracks because Snoop is the key to California. Google ‘westcoast rap’ and see who’s face pops up. If you want California Love you have to go see the Dogfather. Besides all that, his flow stands the test of time every time.

7. Lupe Fiasco – The Future is uncertain but if there is to be one for hip hop, Lupe Fiasco is there waiting for us to catch up. The young chi-town phenom tilted his hat to the greats like Jay-Z with a flow that compliments his but serenaded a base of fans who are often neglected by rap, the nerds. He skated by all the stereotypes with the hood in his heart. It was a great thing to see a rapper wearing glasses for real and not for reinventing himself.

8. The Game – The Underdog with the chips stacked against him. Game looks more and more like a boxer every time I see him. Its wild. His tenacity is sick. The Westcoast is not necessarily on his back because Snoop and E-40 are still relevant but he made the West matter in a different way so Cali supports him. He’s the gangsta emcee, not so much a gangsta rapper. Its hot just to see him rock in the face of adversity. There were plenty of opportunities to hang it up but nope. I gotta throw him on.

9. Ludacris – The Crossover appeal of a rapper like Ludacris is dope to me. He matters. There is no other way to put it. For the money making ability and for his content in song. He reminds me of someone like Busta Rhymes in that he has this outrageous nature to his records but yet he can still get on the ground with down to earth people and make records like “Run Away” to show he ain’t too far from the streets to know the stories. He makes hits and they ain’t cornball tunes you snap to for 2 months then fall off.

10. Diddy – The Swagger alone has transcended genres and generations. Making it hot is Diddy’s profession. How could he not be on the list. He is probably the best executive producer in the game. He knows how to orchestrate a project and make artists reach their potential. In Press Play he did that for himself. We saw Diddy in some different colors so to speak and it was dope. “Last Night” was a prime example of that. He makes things work and he rounds out the list as number 10 to me.

Tiramisu

on some late night solo outing...i stumbled across this asian strip joint. and i fell in love with one girl. her name was Tira Misu! Can you believe it?!

well.....................

Don't!

Cuz I'm lying...

change!

I am currently working on new material for Gilles and Jay West.

You know anytime I am going through the process of creating something I feel like I am underwater. I actually have had this sinking feeling for a long time. I'm in the deep end. My work --whether it be music, events or writing-- is so demanding. All of the things are full time jobs. I am so interested in revamping the sound of G&Jw. that I don't sleep well. Time on dates and all that is not as fulfilling but it doesn't add to good music. My life is just one big song anyway. If it doesn't add to the music, then it takes me away from writing. I try to go out to be this playboy that I can write music about. I throw myself to the wolves so I can cry in the studio and write my plea. So in short "...how you get so fly. By not being afraid to fall out the sky".

You'd love to hear the story again and again...

black'd

under the disco glow, i move slow and still feel alone
under spells of witches, dummy missions, she won't answer her phone
full moon, in my Element. but the speakers are blown.
