Lupe Fiasco - Dumb It Down
So what's really good with Lupe Fiasco? From interviews, sounds like he's a tad bit jaded by the way things have turned out with his rap career. In this business I guess you can only go but so far when corporations at the end of the day hold whether or not you will be famous in the balance. (One day we'll realize that the music we hear on commercial radio and most every media outlet is programmed. Possibly, on the same day we realize that we actually have power to affect changes in this world we're all a part of). How successful can you be with the use of 'their' money? Well, Lupe won't be dumbing down any song lyrics as he proclaims on 'Dumb It Down'.

The question still remains...
After the last week or so of reading posts on message boards and comments in response to video clips online where folks suggest that Doom's been lip syncing and at times sending an impostor in to perform in his place, I'm actually starting wonder what's really going on. I haven't been to any of Doom's recent shows to see for myself. I won't indulge in the madness behind this new buzz talk on the net. There does exist this thing where human beings seem to go along and agree with just about anything without having an once of proof that said situation has happened.
It is an interesting situation. In ways, it's quite exciting. Here we have an artist who plays the part of a villain on record. In performance he where's a mask. In interview he where's a mask. Knowledge of his personal life aside from the character Doom virtually non existent post KMD fame. Now he's supposed to be MIA. In some ways it sets up great promo. It makes sense. Then there's the side of maybe the future is not so bright.
But I'd rather not think too much about it. Because I don't have any factual information to go by.

Hezekiah - Wild And Wreckless (2007)
I had to save this video on my favorites list on Youtube. I haven't listened to much of Hezekiah. He honestly reminds me of a darker skinned Lupe with a little less wordplay. Don't send out a beef blast. I'm saying. I haven't listened to his body of work. Anyway the point of this post was to just show a rather dope, less is more type video. I think the glasses really bring it in with him rockin the hood and all. I like the end part of the verse too. I think it's a tight sounding track... yall don't send me hate mail or evil comments either...
