No intro needed. Wonder whose track this will be…

By now you’ve probably heard Lupe is retiring after his next album, LupEND, which will be a three disc set. Above is what appears to be a freestyle at a recent show Lupe did, which I guess should serve as a preview of what’s to come.

I’m kinda curious why Lupe wants to retire. It’s rare for a someone, especially a rapper, to realize they will not be relevant or in the limelight forever. If Lupe is retiring for that reason, I give him credit for not letting hubris let him rap into the retirement homes. However, don’t you think Lupe has more in him than that? He’s a guy to me that could be next in line to get on that super-star status of Kanye West or Lil Wayne. At the very least, I could see him going a little longer than he apparently wants to.

Then again, Jay-Z is supposed to be retired too.

Andrew at FSD shares another gem with us from his vault of Chi-town rarities.

Naledge and Lupe Fiasco- Mean & Vicious (previously unreleased)

Old Chicago rapper tracks that were previously unreleased are sooo in right now. Here we have Naledge of Kidz in the Hall teaming up with fellow Chi-town native, Lupe Fiasco.

Good looks, RubyHornet

cliffskighwalker posted these up today. These are the first real glimpses of Kanye’s “Pastelle” clothing line, running in the new VMAN magazine. Rihanna and Lupe Fiasco are the guest models.

It must run in the Roc family to have a clothing line. You think these will be Rocawear or Barneys prices?

Ever wondered what an artist thinks of their unreleased material leaking? Lupe gives us some insight on the recent leaks of his old unreleased material. Oddly enough, the interviewer is the guy who leaked the tracks.

If you missed some of those leaks, check out one featured here-
Lupe Fiasco - Birds and the Bees (prod. by Kanye West)
and another just because…
Lupe Fiasco- Gangsta Up In Here (Unreleased)

eskay just posted this up.

Lupe Fiasco - Birds and the Bees (prod. by Kanye West)

Apparently, Lupe made this from an old Kanye beat CD (no homo) that was laying around, wanted it on his album, but some legal stuff prevented that from happening. It was meant to be his own version of “Girls, Girls, Girls.” It was in the vault until now.
