Lupe Fiasco knows just how to incite the masses, whether it be through his politically charged lyrics or the convincing execution of his rhymes: When this man speaks, everyone listens up. Such is the case with his record Lasers, the culmination of a standoff between the MC and Atlantic Records, his label at the time (he’s since signed with Rick Ross’s Maybach Music Group). Over the years, he’s amassed a cult-like following of fans, and he’s still churning out anti-government anthems with every bar and hook. Hot on the heels of his 2012 release, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Lupe is hotter than ever before, and from the looks of it, he has no plans to stop.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?

If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
