Lupe Fiasco – The Cool (iTunes Version) 2007

Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool expands on the story Lupe told on the track, “The Cool”, from his debut album. Fiasco introduces the characters the Streets and the Game. Each character has defining attributes explained in the Food & Liquor bonus track Pills: The Game has dice for eyes, blunts for arms, and hollow tips for teeth. The Streets is a temptress with dollar signs for eyes and tattoos of ex-boyfriends like Al Capone and Alexander the Great. The album tells the story of the little boy from “He Say/She Say” who grew up without a father, and the people that step in to raise him are the Streets and the Game.

Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois) better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is an American rapper. He rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his critically acclaimed debut album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor. Prominent hip hop mogul Jay-Z describes him as a “breath of fresh air” in a new hip-hop world characterized by mainstream pop and glamour, a sharp contrast with the widespread lyricism-focused rap of the 1990s, and critics have called him the “hip-hop Generation Next vanguard.” His second album, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool, is expected to be released December 18th, 2007.
