Guest Tonyc402 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 A True Hip Hop ArtistI tried searching for any Lupe Fiasco Threads , but didnt see any so i thot i could post this. IMO Lupe Fiasco is a great hip hop artist and every song of his are very lyrical. A want to share and know what people think of him.=] Lupe Fiasco Real Name :Wasalu Muhammad Jaco Born: February 17 1981 Genre: Rap Place of birth: Chicago Religion: Muslim Biography Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born on February 17, 1981 in Chicago, Illinois) known by the stage name Lupe Fiasco is an African-American rapper. Raised on the west side of Chicago as the youngest of nine siblings, Lupe developed a taste for art and a sharp artistic sense, which he says he owes to both his parents. His father was an African drummer, and his mother a gourmet chef who traveled the world. Lupe Fiasco is the youngest of four brothers. He has five sisters. His father was a prolific African drummer, and his mother was a gourmet chef. Lupe began to rap when he was in the 8th grade, but began to pursue it fully when he turned 17. He is highly influenced by Crucial Conflict and Nas among others. Lupe regards It Was Written as one of his favorite albums and cites it as his primary source inspiration. Career Lupe has previously been on label Epic with his group,"Da Pak", and then signed a solo deal with Arista Records. In 2003 under Arista Records, Lupe dropped the single "Pop Pop" where he presented himself as a gangsta rapper with lyrics glorifying both gun use and jewels. [1] During this time, he also had guest appearances on singles from Tha' Rayne (2002's "Kiss Me" and 2003's "Didn't You Know and K Fox (2004's "This Life"), then Arista folded in 2004 and Lupe was signed to Atlantic Records. Jay-Z, emcee and current president of Def Jam Records, was so impressed with Lupe that he offered to sign him to Def Jam records (around the time of The Blueprint & The Black Album), but Lupe declined, having already started his "1st and 15th" label. Jay-Z decided to assist him in the production of his album.[3] In the early summer of 2006, East-Coast rap artist Fabolous said he wanted to do a collaboration with Lupe. Lupe is also known for his involvement in the "streetwear" culture. He frequently shows supports for brands such as FALSE/LMAC, DPMHI, CLOT, Dekoi and Artful Dodger. Lupe is also close friends with many of the owners of the brands he punts like Le Messie (FALSE/LMAC) , Hardy Blechman (MHI), Edison Chen (CLOT) etc. He also has been known to post on the Hypebeast.com forum.

Korowa Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Kick Push is a GREAT song. People talking things they love.... and the things that were wrong that's what Hip-Hop used to be about. Lupe's probably one of the rare ones to make it to the mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
