Music: Hip-Hop Lupe Fiasco

  • Music_lupefiasco_large

Chicago's Lupe Fiasco hits NYC tonight with his manicured, brainy hip-hop. He first came on the mainstream scene in 2006 with his album Food and Liquor, and everyone, including Jay-Z, pegged him as the next great hip-hop act. Audiences often saw him as a Kanye West prodigy, thanks to their frequent collaborations and a similar sound, but Fiasco's music stands on its own, boasting a laidback production style and lyrics with a heavy pop influence — a nice break from thug posturing.
