where it all started...
"they said it was coming back around...back to the lyrics"
So I'm probably the only one that hasn't succumb to the urge to download Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. I haven't even listened to the stream over at mtv.com's The Leak. With only two days before the official release, I thought now would be an appropriate time to travel back in time and look at the clip that started it all.
Blender: Easier question, then: Excluding anyone on Def Jam, who’s your favorite rapper these days?
Jay-Z: I’d say, Lupe Fiasco. I love Lupe. He’s a genius writer. In his approach to making music and the depth of his lyrics, the guy is incredibly smart. I’m sure he goes over people’s heads, but I love him for that.

this was the joint that got me on lupe too and then food and liquor leaked and i was like this dude got something. then the retail of food and liquor came and he lost me a little bit. finally, the cool dropped and i'm reminded of og lupe.
