I'm really feeling this guy right now. One of the best rappers in the game IMO.

Well, you know what they say. Anyway, just found the original version of "Airplanes" and Lupe's lyrics fit a hell of a lot more than B.o.B's ever did.

Isn't he the guy behind The Show Goes On All Night or whatever that song's called? I don't think I can support him morally.

What exactly is so morally reprehensible about a song telling people to keep their heads up when times get rough? Is it the Modest Mouse sample? I hope it's not, because there's something I'd like to say to people who believe their favorite music is so sacred, that it shouldn't be sampled or covered. Unfortunately, all suitable macros are beyond retarded.

I don't really care about sampling itself. Like, I'm cool with Ice Ice Baby or whatever. It's just that the song is so similar that it's disconcerting and feels sort of lazy.

I was exaggerating for effect, though. I don't really care if someone likes the song, and I wouldn't suggest he's a bad person for making it or anything. I'm just not a fan.

The album "The Show Goes On" belongs to should not be considered a proper Fiasco album. It's not much more than a soulless compromise between Lupe and Atlantic with a few glimpses of his talent. This is a little bit closer to what the guy's actually like.

I'm not that big a fan of his work, but I can't help but appreciate what he's trying to do and what he's fighting against. Plus, this is oddly inspirational.

I finally figured out who this MDMA guy that was pimped all over Lasers! It turns out it was Pooh Bear, who was previously on "Hi-Definition". It turns out he's actually a pretty good singer.

Oh, fuck you Atlantic.

Lasers isn't actually that bad an album, but what goes on behind the scenes sucks most of the enjoyability out of it for me.

I wonder if we can get another petition going to release the demos for Lasers?
