Super Fiasco Bros.

Every now and again I get tired of the rap music that is produced in the industry. When this happens I gotta look back to my main staples in rap, which I won’t list now but this dude is definitely one of ‘em. He’s probably the most interesting rapper at the moment worth listening to. Always some new way to look at his euphamisms and wordplay. Thank you Lupe! I was really in search of his new single, Shining Down featuring Matthew Santos when I stumbled upon it. There are a few familiar songs on here like Commercial, and also Me And My Sneaker, where Lupe raps over an A-Trak beat also known as Mastered. This song originally had Kid Cudi rapping over it and Lupe’s version wasn’t cleared in time for it’s release. I love the cover art for this mixtape by the way, it works well as a great concept with the name and the photo of Lupe, which was picked up from a Complex photoshoot (August/September 2008 issue to be exact!) Now let’s just enjoy this dude’s creativity and not think about his threat to retire after the next album. Oh! Might I add, the last song (bonus track) is a definite banger although it’s recycled; Superstar lyrics matched up on Kid Cudi’s Day ‘N Nite. Click here for the download.
