Video: Lupe Pops Out Of The Shadows For A Second...

Wasalu takes a moment to turn off his invisibility belt handed to him by the great Jedis to speak about the importance of lyrics.

This guy has been a ghost. Shunning guest features everywhere.

What Lupe explains here is very true. The ability to capture one's ear with meaningful lyricism is key to longevity. This goes for minor to major artists alike. Rather than feeding the masses every so often, allow their integrity to realize the value of your work.

Respect the listener's ability to understand and digest.

Gear: Lupe Fiasco Kickin' It For A Cause...

So if you can remember as far back as the middle of last year we gave you the scoop on a select pair of Chuck Taylor models for Converse's (Product) RED line of apparel that was supposedly endowed with inspiration from Chicagoan hip-hopper Lupe Fiasco. Rumor has it that the shoes, seen here in its hightop form, will be released by the week's end. Select David Z locations shall have them in stock, while those not near a brick and mortar store can purchase them Here, online.






We've read from various sources online that the pre-release sample versions had quality issues regarding easy wear and tear around the crucial flex points. Hopefully these issues have been addressed by the final products release.

...Well sort of.

Wasalu apparently is doing the damn thing when it comes to setting the bar for these lame ass rappers. Recently two tracks were leaked to the net of him hitting the microphone in a british-esque accent and strumming out records with his new band Japanese Cartoon. Lupe is apparently going to go by the name 'Percival Fats' and plays the front man of the group.

Very Interesting. These records are not bad at all. They're actually damn good. The Army joint is really dope!

And of course Abstract.

You'll Be Wearing: Lupe Fiasco Shoes...

As you may or may not have known, recording artist Lupe Fiasco has been certified gold for his last effort Lupe Fiasco's: The Cool. Recently Lupe Fiasco has teamed up with designer Dr. Romanelli to produce a selection of footwear for Converse PRODUCT (RED). The Chuck Taylor model has seen a full patent leather revamp including the toecap area that is usually found with a rubber finish.

These shoes have been seen previously in a high top fashion and rumor has it that the high tops are still coming, in January of '09. These look like they will mesh perfectly into the theme of Wasalu's upcoming clothing line's aestethic.
