Where are you Lupe Fiasco?

After releasing 2 critically acclaimed albums, crossing over as a mainstream success, and creating a respectable fanbase, you'd think he wouldn't face such a large problem like releasing a completed album. Of course, he's another victim to music industry politics as Atlantic Records (to which Lupe belongs to) won't release his upcoming album "Lazers" until he releases a commercial single they are happy with.

Maybe I'm a bit naive to this whole ordeal since it frequently happens to artists...
but the fact that it's knowingly completed and not being listened to, kinda sucks

...maybe they're hoping he'll strike gold like how labelmate B.o.B. did?

(Click here for irony of that whole twist)

There's even an online petition (i'm #5378) for this whole fiasco --- hohoho puns!

Anyways I'll just be patiently waiting like every other Lupe fan...
For now, check out Mr. Fiasco's latest works below:

"I'm Beamin"



Janelle Monae - "Tightrope (Wondamix)"
Ft. B.o.B & Lupe Fiasco

N.A.S.A. - "Way Down"

(featuring RZA, Barbie Hatch, & John Frusciante)

One of my favorites on N.A.S.A.'s album The Spirit of Apollo. Although I guess this song is intended to be about the gang violence in Southern Cali, I could see this being a great soundtrack for a movie trailer...

...Small town musician moves to California on a limb to jump start his career as a rockstar. Confliction arises when a record label offers a remarkable record deal, but only at the expense of giving up his artistic freedom and to become a slave to their marketing machine. Meanwhile, he balances his sanity with the only sane advice he could find in Hollywood from a local music producer who battles with drug addiction and alcoholism. At the crossroads between choosing to keep his artistic integrity or gaining fame and fortune, he tries to figure out if this sinful, corrupted lifestyle is right for him...

...or something like that.

Anyways check out the album if you could...
It's a really cool, experimental hip hop album with a shit load of guest artists.

Whoops

It only took less than a week for me to miss a couple days of posting.

POSITIVE THINKING!

• no chapter pacing
• so? slap her face in
• Joe's masturbating

OK Go - "End Love" music video

This is such a cool music video. I have no idea what the magic was to create this, because it convincingly looks like a continuous shot (especially with the continuity of the background).



Best part is the goose lol (yes it's real)

Sup

I'm giving blogging another shot


even though it's inevitable that this becomes abandoned into a cesspool of fail

...BUT WHATEVS

So let's all procrastinate together and read my blog :)
