Just some (random) things
- Snoop Dogg, Method Man & Redman performed at the Congress Theater in Chicago yesterday. Lupe was in the building, too and Snoop brought him out on stage during his set to perform Superstar. From what I've heard, Lupe also came out on stage during Method Man and Redman's set. - Review/Link
- Lil Wayne mentioned Lupe on his track "Oh Let's Do It" which can be found on his latest mixtape No Ceilings. Here's the line: "I'm sharp as Blu-ray, I fuck her today, then she gotta skate, young Lupe"...*shrug*
- Jay-Z mentioned Lupe in a recent interview on Canadian TV - Video/Link
- Chuck Anderson, who designed the cover of Lupe's Food & Liquor album, designed the default wallpaper & login screen of Windows 7 - Link
Kellan Lutz From Twilight Is A Lupe Fiasco Fan
via i-tunes
Seeing that so many people seem to enjoy this whole Twilight thing,
some of you might find this interesting.
Kellan Lutz who plays Emmet Cullen in Twilight included
Hip Hop Saved My Life in his i-tunes playlist.
Here's what he said about it: I love the beat,
but you have to listen to the lyrics to understand it.
props to Eric for sending this in

Throw Your Diamonds In The Sky !
Have you ever been to a concert where people
were throwing up the dynasty sign?
I bet 90% of the people who read this are gonna say yes.
You probably did it yourself.
I, for my part did it at every show I've been to so far.
I just think it's a great symbol to show how you are connected to Hip Hop.
It's way more than just the ROC, Dynasty, Jay-Z sign.
It became a symbol for Hip Hop and
good music throughout the whole world.
No matter in which country you are...
everyone interested in Hip Hop knows this sign and what it stands for.
You even see it at shows that are not hip hop related at all.
I don't know why I made this entry...
I just felt like saying it.

The Coolest Stop Sign
My cousin texted me this morning telling me about a stop sign that she saw while she was riding her bike. So I told her to take a picture and send it to me.
hahaha
I wonder if whoever did that will read this.
LBC is representing!
...just don't get in trouble please.
Lupe Fiasco In A German TV Guide
I just saw this in my tv-guide.
I know it's totally random.
But because of the fact that we get barely
anything about Lupe here in Germany
this is worth a mention.
Now I just hope that they
actually have something about him on that show tonight.
Oh yeah the text says:
Eventhough with support from Snoop and Kanye
and a Grammy nomination
Lupe still didn't have major success.
But he's more than your usual rapper.
The muslim doesn't drink or smoke and
groupies are a no-go for him.

Lupe Fiasco's Formula
Just some things he likes and he took as inspiration to create "The Cool"
Dr Cornel West
"I went to a seminar in Chicago where Tavis Smiley and Michael Eric Dyson and Dr West were speaking. Dr West said, 'Sometimes, if you want to affect some kind of social change in the world, you have to be hip to be square.' To me, Dr West is a humongous nerd, and I mean that as a huge compliment. He takes it to another level."
Comics
"As a kid, I went from regular American comics like DC and Marvel to Japanese anime and Manga. My favourite is probably Gondo. It's like Transformers, but in space. My cartoon alter ego is called Carrera Lu."
Clothes
"Jeans would be my Mastermind specialist subject. My favourite are Levi's 'cos all those crazy, trendy Japanese jeans come from Levi's. They make all the denim on Levi's looms. The looms are from the 40s when they sold them off to pay for the war."
British music
"Sway sent me some of Alshux's beats because I loved [his single] Little Derek. I like Sway; he reminds me of me. You can still be a dope MC, but not talk about the nonsense. I'm also good friends with James Lavelle. I met his brother and his crew in Singapore."
Chicago
"We have a sound, definitely; from house music to Juke to No ID and Kanye, then Twista and Crucial Conflict and now you have Kid Sister and Cool Kids, which is like a reinterpretation of house. You're influenced by Chicago just by being from there."
George Orwell
"Conceptualising The Cool took about a year, although Streets On Fire is from 1984 and I read 1984 when I was in high school."
