Lupe Fiasco and S1 come together for a new supergroup?!

noreply@blogger.com (Al Amend) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:24:00 +0000

Lupe recently went on Twitter and said the following...

The tweet was deleted, but right on the heels of that information came this S1 interview with HipHopWeekly:

HHW: What’s next for Symbolyc One?

S1: In addition to the Kanye album, I’ve been working on Eminem’s new album and I’m very excited about that. I’ve been working with Lupe on his solo album and also, me and Lupe started a group together. All I can say is it’s gonna be a really dope concept album.

A third member has yet to be revealed, but Lupe tweeted S1 asking "#BlackVietnam or #MOMABoyz?" which have turned out to be possible group names (MOMA being an acronym for Museum of Modern Art).

Lupe also tweeted possible scenarios for the rest of his career. The scenarios included a greatest hits album as his last album under Atlantic, and Skulls dropping via a partnership with 1st & 15th and Red Bull. Also, it looks like Black Vietnam might've won the group name debate, which would apparently drop under FNF and Def Jam.

Who do you think the 3rd member could be? Which group name do you prefer? What scenario do you think would be best? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Lupe Fiasco previews lyrics off of upcoming album, "Tetsuo & Youth"!

noreply@blogger.com (Al Amend) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:43:00 +0000

A few days ago, Lupe took to Twitter and dropped this small gem off...

"Clarence Carter, Fred Astaire Meets Aristotle, Air To Air Your Just Plane Rears In Red Baron's Goggles" ...TETSUO...YOUTH...

Well today, he was back at it. After he received a tweet from a fan that said, "I miss the old you..." he responded with the following...

That puts me in a stupor, kinda like saying I wanna see the young you in the future.
Scratch that, to deepen the absurdity, certainly to remain young in the face of getting old requires plastic surgery.
And I've never been 1 to fake it and give you young shit from an old ass nigga with a facelift. I still hip so if it aint break, don't replace it.
These the complexes of a complex nigga in the face of criticism so basic, when your basics are the basic mathematics of spaceships.
And if I do dumb it down for dumb niggas or younger crowds...to pay rent, an old man with younger styles on some Jay shit.
My old fans run around and trash my latest efforts at making records as watered down so go old, but forgetters that Food & Liquor didn't go Gold.
I mean G is G, I don't do this shit for free, always for some freedom, but niggas got lawyer fees in that Windy City where rapping is a breeze.
A Twis-ta nig-ga you-so...cra-zy, would I do when they want that young Lu? "Nigga tell em time machine or Fuck-You, Pay-Me." - Screen Caps

He went on to say that these lyrics are from a track called "Fountain Of Youth" from Tetsuo & Youth. Ofcourse, in regular fashion, all these tweets have since been deleted but we'll keep you updated as the new info pours in.

New Music: Donnie Trumpet featuring Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa - Zion

noreply@blogger.com (Alicia J) — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 23:53:00 +0000

The Chicago new school continues their string of unique releases with this installment from former Kids These Days member Nico Segal with help from Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa. Chance switches up his usual flow to match the groove of the trumpet while Vic takes liberties with his style, flipping it halfway through his verse. Collectively, Nico, Chance and Vic create a very dope nod to Ms. Hill.
