Lupe Fiasco Chicago image

Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, Lupe Fiasco, was born February 16, 1982 and rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his critically acclaimed debut album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor. Jay-Z describes him as a “breath of fresh air”.

On his website it says:

Hip-hop music, once a platform for creative expression and friendly competition, has, sadly, become a popularity contest. With record sales down and ringtone dollars up, rookies searching for that “one big hit” seem solely concerned with being deemed “cool.” Lyrics have side-stepped, giving way to dance-instructing “rappers” more concerned with sparking the new “Macarena” than being hailed as an MC.

Nas’ 1996 album, It Was Written, which he heard at the age of 17 inspired him to pursue a rap career.

    I love Lupe! I think his Superstar song can teach us a few things. Keep up the good work =).
