The good old days! Pictured above are DJ Pizzo and Andreas Hale with Sir Lupe Fiasco around the release of Food & Liquor. In the clip below, Lupe Fiasco speaks to Shade 45′s Angela Yee on a wide variety of topics, including LASERS tracklist, his beef with MTV, blogger drama, Atlantic resolutions, and more. LISTEN: [cont.]

Lupe serves up the first official single from LASERS, which drops March 2011. Kane Beatz on the track… links to buy the track here.

The all Chi-Town lineup gives us some backstage footage of this track for Gatorade Replay.

G.O.O.D. Fridays Saturdays latest release is a non-album track. Nice. We’re getting spoiled now. LISTEN: Kanye West – “Don’t Look Down” (feat. Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean) Kanye West – “Don’t Look Down” (feat. Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean)

Not sure what brought this on, but we can guess it has something to do with MTV’s Hottest MC’s list. Get ‘em!

What would have initially been an Atlantic protest event for the shelving of LASERS, became a a celebration of it’s March 2011 release, thanks to his reconciliation with the label. Above, he announces his new mixtape, coming soon.

Lupe’s indie rock offshoot group, Japanese Cartoon, delivers this video from In The Jaws Of The Lords Of Death album, which you can download for free here.

This is DEFINITELY worth 7:54 minutes of your life. Lupe Fiasco is on a roll, if Child Rebel Soldier (Lupe, Kanye, Pharell) are the Super Friends from DC Comics, than his 2nd super crew: All City Chess Club is the Marvel Comics Universe. A.C.C.C. joins Lupe on this We Beamin’ Remix, featuring the likes of Asher Roth, [cont.]

A geeked Lupe Fiasco talks about mending things with Atlantic, the March 8th release of LASERS, and the October 26th release of his single.

Nice! Looks like the threat of angry fans picketing outside Atlantic’s office, combined with Lupe’s vocal dismay with the label actually made a difference. Lupe Fiasco’s LASERS will hit March 8th, 2011.

This addition of G.O.O.D. Friday reunites the ultimate trio of Kanye West, Pharell Williams, and Lupe Fiasco. No chorus…just three highly entertaining verses. With Lupe getting L.A.S.E.R.S. to drop this spring and Kanye mentioning that C.R.S. is still happening during a Q & A for his film “Runaway”, there will be a lot more good [cont.]

Well, this probably isn’t going to help LASERS get released any time soon. Lupe spoke at the Second Regional Academic and Cultural Collaborative in Dayton, OH on Saturday, blasting his label for the usual record company politricks. In related news, fans will organize outside the Atlantic Records building on October 15th to protest Atlantic’s decision [cont.]

UNKLE delivers a piece of their recently released The Answer EP. Here’s what we found out: The hip-hop reworking of ‘The Runaway’ off UNKLE’s most recent album ‘Where Did The Night Fall’ sees Lupe Fiasco rhyming with an untouchable, laid-back cool as splintered synths and a shuddering bass-line envelope around him. Original UNKLE member, Tim [cont.]

LISTEN: Lupe Fiasco “Go to Sleep” (prod. by 1500 or Nothin’) Lupe serves up something from Lasers Food & Liquor: The Great American Rap Album. Ya’ll tucked in?

LISTEN: Diggy – “Oh Yeah” (feat. Lupe Fiasco + Pharrell) Diggy Simmons is in good company here with this new joint, taken from his upcoming “Airborne” mixtape with DJ Spinking.

Check out Q-Tip, Buckshot, Mase, Lupe Fiasco, Barry White, and many more in this movie trailer for this upcoming Hip Hop documentary, “Check the Rhyme.”

Love Ross’ album, but never understood the appeal of his extra slow flow and repetitiveness of “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)”. Countless requests for this song from NBA players balling at XS. Lupe Fiasco flips the script with “Building Minds Faster”, turning the track into some edutainment – maybe heads will listen….. LISTEN: Lupe Fiasco – [cont.]

Oh word? Lupe Fiasco’s indie rock project Japanese Cartoon is finally here, available for free download right now. 9 track album, direct from Lupe himself….

“Tightrope” gets the remix video treatment. Of course, they go black and white, “Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)” steez.

Dropping June 22nd, Janelle Monae offers a slightly more “urban” version of her Tuxedo-donned single, featuring homies Lupe Fiasco and B.o.B. Listen to it below, cop it when it drops. LISTEN: Janelle Monae – “Tightrope (Remix)” (feat. B.o.B. + Lupe Fiasco)
