For the Spring/Summer run of merchandise, Lupe decided to stick with a simplistic theme that focused more around iconic imagery than complex design.
A true innovator in both fashion and music, Lupe goes in depth on his clothing line, how he separates the two and what he hopes people will take from it. - illRoots

RO: As a devout Muslim, how do you feel about the Ground Zero mosque controversy?
Lupe: I'm taking President Obama's stance. Everyone has the right to worship where they please, but you do have to question the wisdom of it when you look at the reaction that it caused. I'm Muslim, so I understand the importance of practicing the faith.
Lupe: I'm taking President Obama's stance. Everyone has the right to worship where they please, but you do have to question the wisdom of it when you look at the reaction that it caused. I'm Muslim, so I understand the importance of practicing the faith.
But that is something that is sensitive to Americans. I don't trust polls, but there was such an overwhelming sentiment that maybe it's not the best of idea. I think the people who are building it should take that under consideration.
Would they be setting themselves up for vandals? Because now it's become a target. But on the other side, I think it's a great opportunity because Islam is in the forefront. This mosque situation is a good chance to spread what Islam is really about.
People can give commentary on how much of a peaceful religion it is. I look at the situation as a win-win. Just by you talking to me about the controversy, I get to spread the fact that Islam is a wonderful religion. The majority of Muslims are not even in the Middle East.
The majority of Muslims are in South East Asia. The point of Islam is to promote peace. But there are a lot of emotions in New York. I've visited Ground Zero so I understand that it's a sensitive subject. - Click HERE to read more!

After the snippet now here's the full version of the first track off Lupe's Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album. Produced by 1500 or Nothin'.
UPDATE - All 3 verses - Download: Lupe Fiasco - Go to Sleep [Radio Rip] // Mediafire
The one with all 3 verses (above) skips due to the stream on the site messing up so if you want it without skipping, take the other version... - Lupe Fiasco - Go to Sleep [Radio Rip] (2 Verses) ...this should hold us over til the CDQ though...
"Definitely…it’s human nature. It’s not even about an artist versus label thing. You're always going to have some form of struggle when you're dealing with personal conflicts. But Lupe has had hit singles so it's not like he’s struggling in that sense. I think it’s all human nature."

The HoustonPress got to preview and review Trae's upcoming mixtape "Can't Ban Tha Truth" before its release. Here are some details about the collabo he did with Lupe:
The whole thing is an incredibly creepy song, crystallized when it gets to Trae's part, where a circling guitar accompanies each of his verses, building and building and building.
You know that part at the end of 28 Days Later where that guy snaps and starts killing all of those soldiers who were going to rape those two girls? That's exactly what Trae's verses feel like. - The full article can be found HERE
Set your reminders! - And catch the stream HERE
Also gonna be played on a whole bunch of other stations
(e.g. Shade 45 - 8PM) - so just tune in!

"This is one of the most beautiful individuals that I've come into contact in the music business," Lupe Fiasco said.
"He's a trusted friend, partner, family. Anything I can do to show support, especially something as beautiful as Trae Day and what it stands for — getting kids prepared to go back to school, immunizations, HIV testing — that's what I do. Any time I see somebody do that, I'm on it."

Most known for his relationship with Kanye West, many people credit Ibn as one of the most talented barbers in the game. More than that however, Ibn definitely has his own approach and outlook on the day to day, and you'll probably catch him riding through the city on his skateboard or bike.
IllRoots caught up with Ibn in Los Angeles. He took them down Fairfax to some of the most well known street-wear shops in the country, including Diamond Supply Co. with Nick Diamonds. Learn more about Mr. Jasper and what makes him tick.
We pushed through switching Hotels for Lu in the early AM, to meet up with the band that just flew in 6 hrs before. Had a quick meet-up with Kanye in the lobby who was truly larger than life as expected...." - Click HERE to read more!
