Lupe Fiasco One of GQ’s ‘Men of the Year’

Lupe the jedi. Real good look 4 ya.

Nice to see lupe's getting recognized!

Fake cassidy mixed with kanye west wanna be tony hawk he garbage don't nobody want to hear a skateboarding rapper that's why hip-hop is dead now but my n*gga the game, nas, and jay-z will bring hip-hop back to life.blackwallstreet

Congratulation my brother lupe.i wish him the best. God is the greatest

Yo yo yo... Its ya boy elliot. Yup yup yup. All these black Mu'fukkahs getting awards. I tell you. This didn't happen in the day of intense slave trading and black people working as farm boys. Yup yup yup. This is sinister i tell you. Sinister. A F*ck*n fiasco.

Fuc*k u middies u don't know talent when u c it. Lupe is da future of hip hop. Jay z need to retire

I think that lupe can be placed in the same category w/ jay, nas, and other greats. He has a flow that will never be duplicated. Keep doin ya thang homie.

^^ middies06, i respect your opinion (you got the title and the deed to it) but i believe cats like lupe is why hip hop is not dead... Yet. Hip hop needs a lil different look (in my opinion)... Like mos def said "we are hip hop"... So if lupe, a talented emcee in my eyes, raps about riding a skateboard then that is still hip hop... We need to stop putting the brakes on cats and let them "grind" out...

"he garbage don't nobody want to hear a skateboarding rapper that's why hip-hop is dead" the satire............ People who say he's wack always cite that he's just some wack artist talkin bout skateboarding...... And those who uphold him realise the depth in his lyrics and his openness. I respect the man like heck. Some of you don't even catch the metaphor of kick push do you? dude uses tmeis', hypallage, and so much deep figures of speech to depthify his rap verses. Deepest guy i have heard in a long while and best album hip hop has pushed out since how long... If you don't like his flow, fine. But when your reasoning includes "skateboarding garbage" like i have heard 1/2 ppl say, you clearly need to actually listen to the lyrics my friend. I respect the dude so much, not only on his depth, but on his level of morals. I am proud he is getting crazy props. Definitely lived up to the hype of hip hop saviour in my eyes. Glad he was given such an acclamation. Hope mainstream ignorance doesn't water him down or cause him to assuage @ all. Here he's performing @ cornell, ppl are going crazy over the tickets, need to get mine soon.

Mad props to lupe your album is a classic i really enjoyed it. Allah is the greatest. Peace

My brother lupe doing his thing foreal alhamdulillah

Im starting to get mad at people even calling lupe a skateboarder, he was telling a story of someone else in that song t wasnt about him, even though he did an ollie at the end but i learned to do and ollie and i live in philly

F*ck that sh*t..n*ggas lookn like space cadets n sh*t..specially those fukn puke colored hoodies n sh*t F*ck outta here..timbos n champion hoodies, strait nautica n polo fa me sh*t son

F*ck every1 in here. F*ck the world..........Bia'ches

Lupe ain't sh*t, he don't be talkin bout sh*t. He is just saved by great beats this cat ain't no savior of no real hip-hop sh*t. Probaly this fake ass hip-hop thats straight mainstream, music is going to hell. But i'll say that he is better than alot cat out. Dude just isn't that spectacular.

John elliot your such a faggot, i think you must be ,johns one of those whiteboys that still wishes he could beat the crap out of black folk, but in reality he will just end up getting his ass whooped

F&f is a good 1st album, it's no classic though, u cats throw the word classic around way to eaasily, u cats dont understand what classic means, back in the day a classic was 5 mics, f&f like a 4 for a 1st time, but it's no illmatic, then again nothin is an illmatic, except lost tapes, an stillmatic, a classic is rare, an errtime i come on this site u young gunz throw the c word jus as much as pam an kid rock throw the i love u shi.t, basically y'll use it but it has no substance, learn what a classic is 1st before u startyappin away!

This cats sucks all he is a kayne on a skateboard . Think he hood and sh*t, he anit notin

I feel like music is a message, not only about you or me, its about reaching the people, the minds. It's about a feeling an understanding, knowin wha kick push is, and what it really means to "picture me rollin" so what if he on a skateboard, those of u that focus on that are forgetting what hip hop is about, we got plenty hip hoppers skateboarding, dancing (tupac danced), singing, leaning, look, hip hop is an art and a culture, one that has no boundaries. Because u like west coast and i like east dont mean either or aint hip hop, it means, thats my preference and this is yours. We need to stop hatin and puttin the art down. Hip hop is a support system, my hood aint the same as ur hood, and we all hip hop. This is a movement with many players, some more important than others, but unless you contributing to the movement, u have no say in what does or does not belong, and contribution is not only in performing, its also in giving back to your community and strenghtening your people, and those that make hip hop what it is 2 u. Skateboard or none, lupe is a talent, listen 2 his lyrics with an open mind and dont let ignorance stand in your way.

Middies06 u must not listen to music how can u say that lupe aint the truth post ur favorite rapper and let me see who u F*ck with cause yo swagger all F*cked up. Amie you right about everything u said lupe just be going ova n*ggaz headz.

I didnt think gq ever heard f my nikka but congratualtions rep dat chi-town my home town

It's alot of simple minded mofos on here, kick push was a song wit two meanings and those who say that he doesn't talk about anything just don't understand him, go to school people. Lupe is one of the coldest out right now.

Shut the F*ck up everybody!!!!!!go get sum P*ss* u F*ckers!!!! stop wastin ur time typin bout sh*t dat u hatin on u F*ck*n idiots!!!!!!!!F*ck yall!!!!!!aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh........ ........................................ ...................................real talk

All the people who are up here trying to dis him what are you all doing at least a brotha is out there trying to do something with him self. Mean while you all are on the computer trying to dis someone you want to be. You need to open your minds and listen to the lyrics and maybe you wouldn't sound so ignorant.

My son lupe is real he ain't like these other rapperz th@ spittin th@ same shyt out they mouth talkin bout crack sell and ain't sell a day in they life . My son brings a fresh new sound 2 hiphop. Lupe fiasco itz a movement!!!

What all of u idiots dont understand is lupe is on a level all his own u cant compare lupe to any 1 or any 1 to lupe hes uniqe hes the best and nobody n i mean nobody can f*ck with that all yall needa a life n to stop hatin on n*ggas u mad at cuz dey better den yo hatin a*ses ....... Hip hop cant be dead cuz lupe fiasco is still alive u heard me
