    so accordin to homey, we all might as well stop rappin since everyone’s already done/said everything no longer continuing, innovation doesnt exist… ha, didnt hear the album but homey doin his thing, he’s not as out there as el-p not as pretentious as talib, yet unfortunately he doesnt love h.e.r. like his fellow chi mate..ahh well, hopefully his clothes go platinum… and delorium is delorean? none are Delorian! - God Bless , keep doin your thing… one.

    ps. here is one artist you wont have to worry about stayin w/ the same content . mj like

    I’m a mega-fan. Can’t wait for the next 2 albums… and everything else inbetween. Many knowledge-bombs were dropped in “Food & Liquor”.

    Great interview..He definitely brought one of the better hip hop albums of 2006 along with Roots, The Game and Nas..Lupe Fiasco’s got a bright future ahead of him in both his own albums and production/studio work, etc.

    Looking forward to more from him..

    Yeah but can Lupe really skate? Everyone wants to know. I’ve never seen anyone grill him on why there is no shots of him actually doing tricks in the video (they are all from behind, or from the waste up). Or the cover of Billboard where he is rolling (supposedly) on cobble stone.

    Props to the kid though, I liked the album, and he comes off composed and intelligent. I just wish he would confront the skating situation once and for all. Cause that one question about skating was a softball underhanded pitch. Before anyone says I’m hating. All I am saying is there are a lot of people on the fence about Lupe Fiasco, particularly the skater community, who don’t seem to believe that he can actually skate, and that it is just some marketing ploy.

    i’m not certain that it’s that serious of a deal, j nizzle, but i have read an interview with lupe where he says he dabbles in skateboarding but that by no means does he proclaim to be intrenched in the lifestyle to the point of being an ambassador of the skating community (perhaps i addlibed a bit. but you get the gist)…i really feel like the public wants so badly to corner an artist into one market that afterward that artist can never seem to escape…try to see more than just “kick, push” and the billboard magazine cover and realize that there’s a lot more to him than what you read…besides, the more we read all of this the less we really know anyway, artists don’t don’t live on the internet and in magazines, don’t believe the hype dude…you gotta love him or leave him alone.

    Lupe is very ill as an artist. I appreciate his ability to venture out and do music that isn’t what the radios are looking for. We all know that music sucks anyways. Fa sho:
