Video: Speech on Lupe Fiasco

I wrote and gave this speech on Lupe Fiasco for my public speaking class. I received an A and the highest grade in the class for this week. Lupe is my favorite rapper! I got nervous during the speech and forgot to mention some of the older songs I knew and how I used to listen to him when I was younger, but I never really payed attention to lyrics back then. Then got a second chance and fell for his music :D

Speak your mind: What do you think about Lupe Fiasco's most recent Obama Statement?

We've posted the interview, which the CBS News show "Whats Trending" did with Lupe, on here yesterday (watch it again above.) In the interview he made a statement saying:

In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America. For me, I’m trying to fight the terrorism that’s actually causing the other forms of terrorism.

The root cause of the terrorism is the stuff that you as a government allow to happen and the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists.

Today a lot of websites put up an entry with the headline "Lupe Fiasco Says: Obama Is The Biggest Terrorist In America " and it's widely discussed on Twitter.

What do you think? Should artists talk about their political opinions, do you think Lupe is right with what he said or would you prefer if he'd keep his political opinions to himself? Let us know what you think but keep it peaceful.

Outspoken

With the last post being very successful, I decided to bring it back. Speak whatever is on your mind, whether its a rant, an idea, a thought, a comment, anything! It can be about anything you seen on the news in the last few weeks to why you hate pickles, just speak up!

Remember anything goes, just lets try to stay positive and if you don't agree with someone's ideas, then please don't decapitate them for it!

Ok GO!

Speak Up!

"I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence"

So I want to try a little experiment and if it works out, I'll do posts like this maybe every week or something. I want to fuel debates/convos/etc, so in this post, I want you all to talk about WHATEVER. It can be about Hip Hop, it can be about what the best album ever is, hell it can even be about why you enjoy brushing your teeth with peanut butter or something... (I hope nobody does that last one though LOL)

The whole point of this post is to get people to talk and express what's on their mind, so go!

Note: Remember one thing, everyone is entitled to an opinion, so just because someone may disagree with something you say, doesn't mean they're wrong. So no stabbing each other or disrespect please!
