Lupe Fiasco

Anyone a fan of this rap artist? I like him. My new favorite rapper. It's refreshing to hear someone from this genre come with a different outlook and ****** things in a different aspect than most rappers do.

His debut CD is titled "Food & Liqour". It is worth a listen.

A favorite from the CD is "American Terrorist". This is part of a verse from that track. The lyrics are not exact I don't think, but check it out...

"now the poor klu klux man see that we're all brothers not because things are the same because we lack the same
color, that's green, now that's mean
cant burn his cross cause he cant afford the gasoline
now if a muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus
with the seconds running give you the jitters?
just imagine a American-based christian orginization planning to poison water supplies to bring the
second-coming quicker"

The Intro is also lovely. It starts with a female rapper just speaking the words in a poetic sense...


Intro-

[uncredited female rapper]
Food and ****** stores rest on every corner
From 45th and State to the last standin hymn nuhana
J&J's, pale chicken, good finger lickin
While they sin, gin, sin sin at Rothschild and Lynnwood Liquors
The winos crooked stagger
meets the high stride of the youth searchin for the truth
They rebel and raise hell across alleyways and in classroom settings
They get, high off that drum bass and 20/20 rims
They rock braids, Air ***** Ones and Timbs
They ***** Hennessy, Hypnotiq and 40's
They call they women hoes, bust downs and shorties
They keep funeral homes in business and gunshot wards of hospitals full
Prisons packed, bubblin over in brown sugar
They keep empty, Westside lots crowded, hype's powdered
The well is running dry, the days of Malcolm and Martin have ended
Our hope has descended and off to the side
Waiting for the reinstallment of the revolution
Because we are dying at the cost of our own pollution
But God has another solution, that has evolved from the hood
I present one who turns, the Fiasco to good
