I've been hearing of Lupe Fiasco in the background for a while. Many credible hiphop sources profoundly respects his work as a rapper and songwriter. Fiasco has been described as a talented lyricist. He teams up with fellow Chicagoan rock & folk singer Matthew Santos . The track is receiving significant attention at radio and he is gradually gaining popularity. The song is pretty great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty0u1PzXfTo |

"Superstar" seemed to not be doing much for awhile there, but now it seems to be catching wind. If payola is afoot, it's certainly good payola. I've only heard this a few times so far, despite owning the CD since release week. I don't find it as good as a lot of the songs off Food & Liquor (which was '06's best hip hop album, by the way), but it certainly has plenty of time to grow on me.

It's okay but I like a lot of songs on the album a lot more. I guess I agreed with a review that said that Santos ruined some of the songs. That being said it's still favorable with me and I'm glad to see Lupe have a song with success.
My favorite is definitely "Hello/Goodbye (Uncool)" from the album. I also like "Dumb It Down" quite a bit; I hope it's the follow up since it's listed on the sticker as such.

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't checked out his latest album yet, but I totally loved Food & Liquor.
I really like this song. This track is now the 4th greatest gainer on Rhythmic, I'm glad to hear he's getting more mainstream success and recognition.
