Video: Lupe Fiasco does his LAST interview & radio freestyle on Sway In The Morning!

With his interview career winding down (Tavis Smiley will be the very last next week), Lupe stopped by Sway In The Morning for a very candid conversation. He spoke about validation, gave his opinion on the recent cultural appropriation debate, album sales, the early Tetsuo & Youth singles, people jumping to conclusions on social media, apologizing to Chief Keef and his conflict with Kid Cudi. He also revealed how "Chopper" came to be and says that "Mural" was mostly unwritten. He spoke on the new Chicago scene and said that people like Kendrick Lamar, Dosage, Charlie Clips, Loaded Lux and Daylyt inspire him.

Lupe also turned Sway In The Morning into a bonus round of #PhilosophySunday by posing the question, "Would you rather live in a world where hip-hop doesn't exist because the societal, economic and cultural conditions that created it don't exist either, or leave things as is?". Answer the question in the comments below!

Finally, after blessing Sway In The Morning with freestyle of the year last time, Lupe did his last radio freestyle ever. This one is special as Lupe does a run-down of his entire career thus far, all off the top of the head! Watch below!

SiriusXM determines that Lupe Fiasco had the best Sway In The Morning freestyle of the year!

Earlier this year, Lupe went up to Sway In The Morning on Shade45 and dropped a crazy freestyle off the top. After seeing alot of MC's go up there and do their thing, SiriusXM made a list of the best and Lupe reigns supreme as best freestyle of the year:

•949,484 views
•11,232 likes

Is it any surprise Lupe finished atop the list? His freestyle was the most viewed Sway in the Morning freestyle of 2014, not counting the Five Fingers of Death series.

All metrics as of Dec. 4 at 11 am ET. Freestyle videos with at least 100,000 views were ranked in several categories, including total views, likes, dislikes, likes-to-dislikes ratio, views-per-like and views-per-dislike. Some metrics (views) were rated more heavily than others (dislikes – screw the haters!) Lupe was ranked No. 1 with a rating of 13.21 out of a possible 17.

The video is now less than 10,000 views away from hitting the million mark! Even though Lupe retired from radio freestyles after this display, we hope he changes his mind and kills the 5 Fingers Of Death the next time he visits Sway. Click HERE to check out the rest of the list!
