Listen To This: I'm Beamin'

The Rhymefest tracks were good and all, but I'm excited that I finally have the go ahead to release the opening track off of Lupe Fiasco's LASERS.  I liked the leaked version better, but I couldn't find the download link, and this version is more than sufficient.  As with all Lupe tracks, this one requires your full attention and multiple listens in order to decipher the complex meanings and messages behind the song. I am almost too excited for his album to drop.

Something I Like: L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto

 I was originally going to do a Genius segment on Lupe Fiasco today, but since I don't have enough time, I'll share this instead.  Having already created two masterful, Grammy-nominated albums and established himself as one of the greatest lyricists of our time, Lupe is ready to attempt to reinvent the world.  The L.A.S.E.R.S Manifest is Lupe's vision of the world, an inspiring and earnest plea to everyone.  Why would I want to listen to Lil' Wayne rap about being "a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed" when I could be listening to someone who wants the world to be a better place?

THE L.A.S.E.R.S. MANIFESTO

To Every Man, Woman & Child...

1. We Want An End To The Glamorization Of Negativity In The Media.

2. We Want An End To Status Symbols Dictating Our Worth As Individuals.

3. We Want A Meaningful And Universal Education System.

4. We Want Substance In The Place Of Popularity.

5. We Will Not Compromise Who We Are To Be Accepted By The Crowd.

6. We Want The Invisible Walls That Separate By Wealth, Race & Class To Be Torn Down.

7. We Want To Think Our Own Thoughts.

8. We Will Be Responsible For Our Environment.

9. We Want Clarity & Truth From Our Elected Officials Or They Should Move Aside.

10. We Want Love Not Lies.

11. We Want An End To All Wars. Foreign & Domestic (Violence).

12. We Want An End To The Processed Culture Of Exploitation, Over-Consumption & Waste.

13. We Want Knowledge, Understanding & Peace.

14. WE WILL NOT LOSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOSERS, WE ARE LASERS.

Lasers are the opposite of losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary.
Lasers Are The Future.

We're Not Losers...We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!

Love Always Shines Every-time Remember 2 Smile

-Lupe

Listen To This: Angels (rmx.)

Lupe newest remix is these two verses which he delivers over the beat of Dirty Money's Angels.  With every song he puts out, its becoming more and more evident how far ahead of everyone else he is.  Look for his next mixtape, Enemy of the State: A Love Story, which drops on Thanksgiving (download link will be here), and for his 3rd album, L.A.S.E.R.S.
