As Jay- Z pleased thousands last night at the Glastonbury festival on the Pyramid stage as a headliner, I had my eyes glued to the TV as he entertained. I was so proud to see that not only him but also Lupe Fiasco came out to show us what they had in an Indie/rock dominated concert and showed especially the narrow minded what HIP-HOP‘s all about.
Jay-Z came on stage and rolled through smashing hits such as “Izzo”, “Hard Knock Life” and “Big Pimpin”.
We all know that if it were just to be a Jay-z concert his “Jigga what, Jigga Who” or even his “A Billie” freestyle would have definitely gained a better reception, but the crowd were obviously not aware of his more “special” tracks. You also saw Beyonce in the back looking very enthusiastic and rapping to every word and like any other, I thought she was going to come on stage and perform, too.
We all know the controversy that sparked between Noel Gallagher and Jay-Z, but he was able to prove that “Hip-Hop should be respected like any other form of music”.
He blew us all away especially as he started the show with a popular Oasis song “Wonderwall”.
Jay-Z closed the show with “Encore” and I strongly believe that if Jay-Z called this his last show, this could have been it. I saw a man who was on top of his game.
If you’d like to view the whole show click the link below.
you can download the audio version of the performance at
Hip Hop Is Read
and one thing...
If anyone isn't satisfied with the rip of the video I posted,
I'm sorry...but that's the best version that was available yesterday.
Maybe we'll get a really good version recorded from TV soon.
awesome performance
expect the full Hove performance tomorrow
it's taking a little longer than I thought
meanwhile enjoy the big homie Jay-Z
at Glastonbury from yesterday

During his set at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. last night, rapper Lupe Fiasco spoke out about “tyrannical world leaders”, clumping the Zimbabwe’s longtime dictator and the American president in the same category “F*@K Robert Mugabe, F*@K George Bush,” he said. F*@k politics, democrats, socialists, the Labor party. Music’s what it’s all about.”

So...you don't see that in the actual video of the performance...
but maybe it will pop up somewhere.
What do you think about his statement?

Now unfortunately I live in London which is quite far from Glastonbury but still in England so I was not able to go and see Lupe at the Glastonbury Festival. Lupe performed today and I’ve been watching his performance over and over and it was undeniably great.
From what I’ve seen Lupe has given his all. Especially as I know these type of festivals are very hard on artists from the HIP-HOP genre. He obviously blew them away as they chanted his name repeatedly. I'd like to add that Matthew and Sarah Green did an amazing job especially on “Paris, Tokyo”, as they helped sing the chorus.
If you are in the UK and you have Sky Digital please tune into 115 and press the red button on your remote, Lupe’s set is on there and you can watch it anytime you like.
Or click the link below and view it there.

This is our 1000th entry!!!
My hard drive is overfloated with Lupe tracks right now
(which isn't a bad thing)
so I don't really know where this comes from
or if the title is even correct
but it's a nice track
so let me know what you think.

edit: ok..so it's called "Bottom Top".

...Da Pak landed their first major record deal under Epic Records.
The set-up of the four-man group was 'similar to Boyz N Da Hood',
according to Lupe.
Unfortunately, the group disbanded soon after releasing their first single.

This one comes from Intruder Alert...
one of the slowest songs on The Cool, but also one of the most complex.
"He's checking water
making sure it's safe enough for his daughter to float across in
the boat he built hopefully strong enough to support her,
praying border patrols don't catch her and process and deport her
before she reach the shore of the land of the free
where they feed you,
treat you like equals,
deceive you,
stamp you,
and call you illegal..."
A-Trak:
I made this 43 minute record for Nike that just came out today (ahem, cop it on iTunes). The version that's on sale features my boy Kid Cudi but I originally had Lupe on that track. We couldn't geet clearance for Lu so i had to take him off. But now that the record's out, you can have his version. A present... from me to you.
So here it is

Immersing himself in such legendary musical influences as Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Pharcyde, ATCQ, Al Green, and Curtis Mayfield; Lungz has been able to successfully transition from being just a respected battle/freestyle rapper to an artist capable of crafting songs utilizing a wide range of cadences and rhyme structures.
-
Lungz acknowledges his now infamous "My Town" which created a fervor after Chicago Rocks 2007 as being not a defining apex; but only one of many more anthems to come. He refuses to allow himself to be characterized by only one song, when there are others that he feels challenged him more to create such as "Powerful Music" and "Incredible", and therefore have more significance to him as a demonstration of what to expect in the future.
-
Recognizing and embracing his growth from a youth to a young man, Lungz is giving his breakout album the appropriately title "Transition", which represents him leaving "all the dumb shit" behind and evolving into a complete artist. Lungz wants you to experience his life through his lyrics, and not the fantasy world so often portrayed in rap.
-
With The Flight School mixtape already available, Lungz is poised to release his first full-length album "Transition" in 2008, as well as "A Breathe Of Fresh Air" with DJ's Cosm Roks & Roper of The Hip Hop Project as a supplementary mixtape. "Transition" will feature mic comrades Swift, Soze, Imam T.H.U.G., and YG with Panik (Molemen), Swift, Supa Mario, and Q-Hefna handling production.

For real
Thanks to everyone who supports the blog and
to everyone who actually takes the time to write
me a mail or post a comment on here.
We all really appreciate that.
And also thanks to all the artists that
include the word "Amajanese" in their tracks.
When I started that whole thing with the word,
I never thought that I would actually hear tracks
where people base the whole song around it.
That's still crazy to me.
So...thanks to everyone who shares my vision
and to everyone who supports the Amajanese movement.
You all rock !

A picture has just surfaced showing a preview of a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Lows made for Lupe Fiasco’s brand, Fall of Rome. From the picture we see that the kicks are of a black and gold colorway, utilizing patent leather as the primary material; they may be made using the Air Force 1 Supreme Low model, predicted from the metal lace tips seen in the picture. The word on these kicks are that there are only 4 pairs made so far for F.O.R., no information on numbers or release.

I got some limited Air Force 1s myself,
but damn those are fly.
I really like the shiny black and gold.
I guess those are gonna be really hard to get if they come out.

Soulja Boy
Kanye:
Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain't Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain't even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it's 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Niggas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning... that's Nas level shit... he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track "Silent Murder" on it. In closing... new niggas get ya money$ Keep this shit fresh and original.... ain't no fuckin' rules to this shit and that's what real hip hop is to me.

I would like for you to get the message in my music. It's me. I try to weed out the dumb shit. But If you can tell the difference between good music and shit...I'm the guy I hope you can come to. Not saying I'm the best, As I tell others I've got work to do, but I'm sure as hell above average.
lupEND: Please introduce yourself and let the people know who you are.
cumalus: Hello readers whats up? my name is cumalus. I make music.
lupEND: Where are you from...and what kind of music do you make?
cumalus: I'm from Omaha, Nebraska....Currently in the DFW part of Texas. I rap, I kinda don't like telling people that tho...maybe why I'm not signed!
lupEND: That means you don't like to show others your talent(people you know)...how come?
cumalus: Talent....haha thanks, but yeah because being a rapper...now gives you a bad name...everybody can rap, or everybody THINKS they can rap. I just try to make good music. I mean one time this police officer told me if i heard any music is cousin had made...The game is Its too clouded and not just the rap game, I know of the rock game too! Too many of these bands are rip-offs of other bands it gets old! People aren't bringing anything new to the table!
lupEND: Yeah I know exactly what you are talking about......
cumalus: Yeah, people will try to sell u some knock off shit...I actually give samples out for free.
lupEND: That's cool....So...when did you start to rap..and why?
cumalus: I started rapping 3 years ago...just going into it without a knowledge of the game just cuz I wasn't liking what was on the radio like that 'Laffy Taffy' Shit was hot at the time. I could write but nothing serious, but then the homie Camelot said they was going to the studio so I was like can I join? I had never spit a verse before. I wrote it on the spot, nervous....My verse was weak! lol I admit it! but the second song i ever recorded people was its one of the best I've ever done...so I'm a fast learner!
lupEND: nice... Who are your influences and artists you look up to?
cumalus: Andre 3000 Is at the top of my list. he is just so creative. Most people dont understand why he would start singing...but i do. you get tired of saying the same thing! next to him is Eminem, aerosmith, john mayer, the black keys, lauryn hill, queen, lupe, the list can go on and on but it's basically anyone whos doing something different!
lupEND: right..so what can we expect from you?...Is there anything coming out soon?
cumalus: Expect the best! Expect to hear my name more often! Hopefully more collabs! I'm working on a mixtape called 'Poems and Punchlines Vol. 2: Why So Serious'...Expect me to switch flows every four bars hahahaha
lupEND: Do you already have a release date for that?
cumalus: Not at all. I have half of the songs done. It's getting there!
lupEND: Ok...you are also working on something for the lupEND blog....which is still under the wraps....how is that going on right now...and what can we expect?
cumalus: Haha I thought we couldn't talk about that!
lupEND: Right answer....
cumalus: Yep! but It's gonna be crazy!
lupEND: cool...so, are you only rapping or do you also produce beats?
cumalus: I'm a lyricist first! I dont make beats just yet. I actually have a producer in france! SHOUT OUT TO SILAS! one in seattle, one in chicago...
lupEND: cool....what's your favortie album right now?
cumalus: wow...um...that changes like every week! this past week it's been lyfe jennings he has this song called 'warriors' thats the cut!
lupEND: So do you listen to black music most of the time..or do you universaly listen to everything?
cumalus: it changes like every week! like before that is was gnarls barkley, before that robyn, the black keys, a couple of months ago it was utada hikaru lol her song "animato" is a must listen!
lupEND: ok..I might check that out...have you ever heard of Ayumi Hamasaki?
cumalus: nope, but i'll look her up! lol the music i listen to depends on my mood. Oh the cd I've probably played most all together is from this band called "Why?" Crazy guys. love it
lupEND: Ok..so is there anything else you want to say?
cumalus: Shout Out to Camelot, MCE, Silas, B. Rud, and Def Dee
lupEND: Alright man..thanks for taking the time for this...
cumalus: Thank you for the interview!
