So...it's Lupe's Birthday today! This year we wanted to do something different compared to the last 2 years where we just made the general "Happy Birthday - have a good day blah-blah" blog entry, so we asked U, the people who read this blog, to send in your birthday wishes for Lu. Check them after the jump!


To everyone who reads this, go to Twitter and use the hash-tag #LASERS ...lets try to get it trending as a little present...


- Happy Birthday from the whole team over here at The LupEND Blog, enjoy the day and your time in New Zealand/Australia!

- GOD has blessed you with another year under your belt. Hopefully that means A LOT of good music. Speaking of music, I can not wait until Lasers man, seriously tell Atlantic to get up off their bullshit before I spray off on them, sike don't tell them that I was just kidding about that.

Oh and once again, thanks for a marvelous time at the Towson concert you did last year for their homecoming. You really made my life with that God Bless...we are lasers! - Joshua W.

- Every day, I ask myself how it's possible to love someone I've never met, how it's possible to get chills when I hear a song, even if it's for the 200th time. Every day, Lupe brings a smile to my face.

Because of Lupe, I remember to smile. He has taught me how to be a LASER. I hope Lu gets everything he ever wanted because he has surely given his fans so much love through his music and his endeavors. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUPE FIASCO! - Veronica V. (@vskillz)

- Happy Birthday Lupe. I'm happy you haven't gave up on your dreams. I know people sleep on you, & don't give you the credit you deserve. But, more importantly the people who do matter (your fans) know you are the best.

You are a lyrical genius, & you never dumbed it down for anybody. You kept striding when people shaded you, & the industry tried to give you the cold shoulder, because you wanted to do something real, & not mainstream & fabricated.

You have intelligence far beyond any other rapper, (because most aren't truly "Artist", so I won't say rap artist) that's out today. & your rapping is of high intricate word play, metaphors & on the lines of a poetic genius.

Your music has inspired hundreds & thousand & personally it has got me through a lot. Like 'He say, She Say' feat. Gemini off of "Food & Liquor" that got me through a lot from my daddy never being there for me like a real father should, & I commend you for that.

We don't have a lot of music besides going out to the club, to dry humping on some random girl, or that is degrading women, & that's giving the African American race a bad name.

I wish you the best, & hope you get everything you want, need & so rightfully deserved. You've worked so hard in the time-frame you've been on this earth with us, & instead of being selfish & only thinking about yourself & making music for you, or music for the labels you made music for the people, that we can listen to for the rest of our lives & make life worth living. Appreciate it.
- David W.
