LUPE FIASCO TALKS ABOUT HIS NEW ALBUM TONIGHT ON TAVIS SMILEY!

Known for thought-provoking lyricism, Lupe Fiasco is a Chicago native and
devout Muslim who was exposed to many different cultures as a child. He
began taking his craft seriously at age 17 and went from underground
phenomenon to mainstream success with his Grammy nominated debut album
“Food & Liquor.” Lupe Fiasco just released his latest album “The Cool” and
talks about it tonight.

Lupe Fiasco discusses the importance of the lyrics in his new album, “The
Cool”, and how he tries to bring serious issues such as rape and drug
abuse into his music while keeping it “radio friendly.” Lupe Fiasco
discusses how the lyrics for songs like ‘Intruder’ and ‘Superstar’ may be
very dark, but the music remains “mainstream.” This helps to keep doors
open and allows his music more radio airplay. He also stresses the
importance of accepting the responsibility for his music and lyrics.
