Lupe Fiasco Speech @ Glastonbury

Here’s a clip of a speech by Lupe Fiasco stressing how hip hop belongs and people will be entertained by hip hop as much as rock or whatever other genre. It’s a nice lil’ clip with the crowd going nuts. Head over 2 lupEND for downloads of the speech and performance and peep the small blurb on BET about his performance that is the biggest news of Lu’s performance in the U.K. last night…

“During his set at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. last night, rapper Lupe Fiasco spoke out about “tyrannical world leaders”, clumping 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.” It’s likely there won’t be any blowback from his American fans for his comment considering the current political climate. But remember just a few years ago the Country music group, Dixie Chicks, were bashed for much milder comments they made about the President in the U.K. Fiasco drew an excited crowd to his performance which included his hits “The Cool,” “Food and Liquor,” “Hip Hop Saved My Life” and ‘Kick Push.’”

Wow, some strong words then from Lupe Fiasco and more power 2 him. He’s truly a strong and passionate artist as u can tell above and in his music. Down below, check out a few NEW trax, with my favorite of the bunch being the NEW version of “Diamond Girl” including a better, less repetitive beat than the original. Definitely a MUST-HAVE for the R&B fans! Peep the rest of the trax below and the Day26 video premiere! Enjoy!

Old School Chicago Hip Hop

Common Battles Kanye - 03:40

For Old School Sundays, I was thinkin’ of some Chicago stuff 2 put up and I stumbled upon a video that interested me… a collaboration of underground and rare hip hop from artists of Chicago. They include Twista, The Legendary Traxter, Juice, Quazaar f/ Verbal Kent, but the highlight is the much-talked about freestyle battle between CHI-Town legends Common & Kanye West, before they were CHI-Town legends! They playfully went at each other and the story was that Common won the battle (as told on his Finding Forever DVD if I’m not mistaken) and I think I’d agree altho ‘Ye comes with the best (and weakest) lines. Judge for yourself above! And below, some NEW-school Chicago trax - from up and comer Mikkey Halsted (thx again Andrew) and the R&B representatives, One Chance! CHI-TOWN UP! Enjoy!

***And a special, happy 31st birthday goes out 2 the biggest name in the rap game 2day… Mr. Kanye West! Much love from everyone at GWHH and all your fans! Congrats on the wave of success and here’s 2 another great year for u, Kanye! - Max G., Sgt. Tibs, & gowhere?***
