Once the Kanye/50 business quiets down, we'll have a rush of 4th quarter tax write-offs and hopefully a couple of gems. 1 artist who I expect to drop a dope album is young squire Fiasco with his sophomore effort The Cool. I enjoyed his 1st album and expect more of the same off the strength of these leaked tracks:
I really like the Soundtrakk beat, the song concept and the pure lyricism (though the hook sounds like something off a bad Kweli record).
Here he features on an Emily King track and runs away with the song, with a flow that Marshall Mathers'd be proud of.
I think this is a great song and hope it's as big a single as Kick Push was. Sounds like Lupe was green with envy over the hipster kudos Jay-Z and Kanye got for their Coldplay features, so he roped in his boy Matthew Santos to do a (very impressive) Chris Martin impression. Great keys and Lupe's always reliable for a few hot 16s.
"A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Want to believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you?" - Lupe
