Okay so uhh. I was just randomly looking at post and questions about Lupe on Yahoo at 3 in the morning like I do every Friday night in the house. ::rolls eyes::
Anyway, I come across a question on Yahoo! Canada that mentioned the whole "Lupe used to sell dope" thing. Then they go on to bring up how the album cover says "Lupe Fiasco" but also says "Life of Fiasco" is you look at it different and "the F looks like the grim reapers scythe to go with the theme of death and life"
Dig much?
Two people over on Hood Fever looked a little too into it too.
Maybe.
Maybe not.

Lupe Fiasco x Fred Astaire
This is what a slow Lupe week will bring you. A weeks worth of YouTube videos. Enjoy.
Fred Astaire: "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco ft. Matthew Santos
and just for the hell of it...
Kanye West x The Nicholas Brothers
and...Crank That Superman, You Soulja Boy Astaire
...I will hate myself for posting that last one later...

Instant Classic? In Caliente x Paris, Tokyo..
The second third greatest thing I've ever seen.
I think I said the second was that 'And He Gets The Girl' video made with The Sims.
I think this is better than that though...
The person that made this [DS9Sisko] has other videos similar on YouTube so go check them out.
A recommendation would be Give It Up x Twista/Pharrell and Crank That Superman, You Soulja Boy Astaire. Yes, its Fred Astaire dancing to Soulja Boy. It's actually great.

Okay so everybody knows it's been a slow week....
And me being the goofy person that I am... thought this was hilarious...
...I posted one like this for Superstar w/ the video a while back on my other blog. That one was funnier because it actually looked like Lu was saying it.
...Anyway, watch Lu on Carson Daly Later tonight [1:35 AM]. Technically that's Tuesday morning but whatever. I'm sure you can wait until probably like 1:50 and then tune in.
Tuesday night don't forget to watch The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno to see Lu.
You should already know I'll be watching it...because I love that show...

Put You On Game Video/ A Scanner Darkly
The editing is perfect on this one.
This video contains clips from the movie ' A Scanner Darkly' which was released in 2006.
The following was taken from wikipedia:
A Scanner Darkly is a 2006 film by Richard Linklater based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name. The film tells the story of identity and deception in a near-future dystopia constantly monitored by intensive high-technology police surveillance in the midst of a huge drug addiction epidemic. To give the film its distinct look, the movie was filmed digitally and then animated using interpolated rotoscope over the original footage.
The film was written and directed by Richard Linklater, and it stars Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey, Jr., and Rory Cochrane. Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney are among the film's executive producers. A Scanner Darkly was released in July 2006 in limited release, and then widely released later that month. The movie was screened at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and the 2006 Seattle International Film Festival. The film was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form in 2007.
The title is a reference to a verse in the New Testament of the Bible, 1 Corinthians: 13:12: "For now we see through a glass, darkly."
For more information on the movie check out the official site here. It's actually really...cool. LOL.

We're Back In Business!!
My internet is back. Looks like it was really a simple remedy after all. Gotta thank my momma for that. LOL. There will be many changes to this site. Only because of the fact that I'll be out of work and non-busy until the first week of March. There are also changes in motion over at She's Cool Like Dat [formerly known as Waste Not Fresh Tears].
But anyway, I have an update that I don't think many people would have. Sorta.
In the new Jan-March issue of Salon Digest magazine they have a little piece about the whole men and scarves fashion trend. In it they have Lupe, Kanye, Omarion and a couple other people whos name I can't remember at the moment.
They also have an article/interview with Mr. West himself.
Be sure to check that out..at your local beauty supply store....

Analysis of '...And He Gets The Girl'
from Song Meanings.
One persons opinion:
"Lupe..a nerd in high school, likes a girl. shes in the popular crowd..goes up to her one day and "just get up and say hi"
and he tells her about himself...he then compares their interest in music..."oh you like linkin park, thats the hat from the tour" so they both have the interest in music...
then after he says allll of that...he feels stupid..."then i walk away" and he regrets doin it...but then the girl comes back and is like JO! youse a cutey! and she tells him about herself...and happily ever after...this is the only litteraly lryical song lupe has hahhaa...everything else is all metaphors that i neverrrrr get till i have to read about."
Another persons opinion:
"Actually k. west I think that this song is actually a metaphor and is not straightforward as it seems. I think that the "girl" in this case is hip-hop.
I think the first part is about how he approached hip-hop (the girl) and was initially attracted to it but "wasn't well suited for it" becuase he was kind of a nerd and wasn't into the vulgarity that came along with hip hop.
"And then I walked away, thinkin she would never talk to me"- After initially being turned off by hip-hop he quit rapping, thinking it wasn't for him.
"Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. She said I know your not the coolest but I swear you are the cutest"-"The hand"- Rappers like Nas and Too $short inspired him to return to hip hop because they showed him that you dont have to be "cool" and rap about women,gangs, money etc. and that you can be yourself.
"Man that's really funny how we like the same music"- Here Lupe talks about although he and the girl (hip-hop) were very different, they both shared common music interests.
They both like jazz (Thelonis Monk was a jazz pianist). Hip hop originated from jazz.
They both like Linkin Park (Meteora and Hybrid Theory were Linkin Park albums). Jay-Z released a mash-up album with Linkin Park in 2004.
"I hate first person shooters (me too)"- He doesn't like the violence in hip-hop.
"Half of tha cheerleading squad is in the stouper
Tha only reason I do it cause of my mother took state when she was a junior"- Here Lupe is talking more or less on how hip-hop is dead (in a stupor) because rapppers are just doing what others before them did because they think thats how hip-hop should be.
"And she want me to du tha same so I'm like naw
I wanna be an oncologist and diagnose tumors"- Lupe wants to do is own thing and make a positive impact on the world.
Anyways, just my two cents. Maybe I'm overthinking it and its just a straight forward narrative, but I really think that the girl represents hip-hop."
I don't know why I never made that connection. This is the first and ONLY time you can say I'm slow and I won't beat your ass for it.
Okay, well I thought of it once I think. Just not to that degree.
Lupe Fiasco is a genius. It's been said before, yes. But I said it again.
Now what are you gonna do?
Go to Song Meanings for the rest of this.

"Lupe Fiasco forced me to pay attention"
Lu, I am going to be writing and open letter to you pretty soon. You CAN NOT retire. I won't let you. Wait..as long as you do FNF radio forever then I should be fine...i guess...anyway..
This is from a boxing message board.
"I wasn't around for "Protect Your Neck" or "Nothing but a G Thang", but I imagine people felt that same thing I felt when I heard Lupe Fiasco's "Superstar". I was captivated by his lyrical mastery, flow, and how he doesn't need BS filler lyrics complete with gangsta references they themselves aren't really familiar with.
I guess part of it also comes from Matthew Santos' chorus, which really sets the mood. Nonetheless, Lupe Fiasco has my attention, even though I'm mad late on him."
"Yeah, I was shocked too when I first heard Lupe because i didn't expect anything like that from the new schoool of rappers. The presence of guys like that opens the door for more real artists."
Read the entire thing here..
Great stuff.

I normally don't do this but ummm...
Wow that was real R.Kelly/B2K remix of me...
Anyways...
Dude made a beat for Lu. I agree..he would be wonderful on it..
..a freestyle maybe? Possibly? Think about it?
I'm trying to help. It may not get far cuz Lupe doesn't even read this..or does he?

Lupe Fiasco - I Gotcha [Remix] with video
I will be probably always have at the least 5 or 6 post a day because of the reasoning in the last post.
John Mayer ft. Lupe Fiasco
Before I get into this I thought I should briefly explain the whole concept behind Lupe The Killa [[the blog]] and why our..or should I say my slogan is "In the streets where the traffic be, nigga what" from Don't Get It Twisted [[one of my favorite songs by the way]].
This isn't going to be your typical fan blog. I'm actually going to try and focus on Lu as well as his fans. This is like a blog for Lu fans by a Lu fan. I guess...
That's partially why I will be posting things fans created or said and I will try to keep most of the reviews down to ones I get from blogs instead of big names like XXL, Rolling Stone, etc. I mean that stuff is important but ...this isn't brief anymore..so here you go..

He is definately a performer...and a little goofy maybe?
BUT..I love him anyway..
He refuses to answer the girls question until she does the "Kid & Play" dance with him..
Why does he remind me of a baby in one of those high chairs..you know when they're kicking their legs around and they don't really have control over the movements...
