“This City” by Patrick Stump Feat. Lupe Fiasco

Just some good old infectious mainstream hip-hop/pop ish that is your new guilty pleasure. Patrick, the lead singer of Fall Out Boy (I know you all remember “Sugar We’re Going Down”) collaborates with Lupe on some verses and creates a pop banger you can’t deny…love to.

“Airplanes” by Lupe Fiasco ft. Hayley Williams


In yet another bizarre look into the music industry today, P&P unearthed the original version of “Airplanes” — by Lupe Fiasco! Apparently, B.o.B’s smash hit “Airplanes” was intended for Lupe Fiasco, but some higher-ups at Atlantic Records decided to yank it away at the last minute, after it had been written and recorded.

Really makes you wonder what exactly goes on behind the closed doors at major labels…

Shouts to P&P on the discovery and Lupe’s Blog for the video.

“Stereo Sun” by Lupe Fiasco

Some Lupe fireee. No idea why this didn’t make it on Lasers but this beat is sick. So refreshing to have Lupe back let me tell you.

Oh and let me hit you up with some Game and Weezy as well. This track just feels so badass I guarantee this is being bumped in Steven Seagal’s car right now, real talk.

“All Black Everything” by Lupe Fiasco

Wow. Lu is straight dropping knowledge on fools while killing it on a sick beat by The Buchanans. Lasers can’t come any sooner. Embrace yo’ self.

“Words I Never Said” by Lupe Fiasco ft. Skylar Grey

Wow. I love Lupe because he always has a perfect blend style of his conscience persona cleverly and successfully masked in the mainstream. On this track, he drops some serious lyrics on some serious issues with the help of the most sought after producer of the moment Alex Da Kid as well as the hottest hook-lady right now Skylar Grey. Social conscience lyrics with a dope beat? Love to. Can’t wait for Lasers.

The Professor’s Top 10 of ’10

Picking your top 10 favorite songs is like picking your top 10 favorite friends. Its kinda uncomfortable because you know there are so many more you want to include. They are all unique and have special meaning to you. And you’re probably going to realize you left one out once you finish the list.

Nevertheless, the Dean and I have both undertaken the challenge. I’m posting my favorites today, The Dean is posting his tomorrow, and then on Friday, we’ll post the most popular songs of 2010 overall. Feel free to hop in the comments and offer feedback.

Without further ado, my number 10:

10. “Real Estate” by Wiz Khalifa – Mr. Khalifa had a pretty sweet run this year. He was able to increase his mainstream appeal while simultaneously maintaining his hip-hop fan base. Definitely not an easy transition when you’re an artist whose career has been based on grassroots support. For that, he has earned my respect and the first spot on the countdown.

9. “Chip Off The Block” by Machine Gun Kelly – Maybe I’m partial because I know the kid, but I feel like MGK is not getting enough shine for how talented of a rapper he is. This was a big year for him, with a feature on MTV and cosign from Big Sean. “Chip Off the Block” showcases his talent and potential. Plus its a great track for pregaming on nights when you’re tryna get buck.

8. “Supa Dupa Lemonade” by Big Sean – Yah I know this was Gucci Mane’s track first, but I could barely remember that song once I heard this. This song put Big Sean on the map for me and a lot of other people and remains one of my all-time favorite lyrical pieces. Sean goes hard from start to finish. Also check out “Too Fake” ft Chiddy Bang.

7. “Show Goes On” by Lupe Fiasco – Despite some woes with the label, Lupe dropped a few golden tracks on us this year as a teaser for what’s in store in 2011. This was one of the most popular posts on the site according to the thumb ratings (we check those!) and I can see why.

6. “Over” by Drake – As much as the media fawned over Kanye’s album this year, I think Drake’s Thank Me Later was the most impressive. It’s hard to believe that that was his first studio album when you consider how much swagger he carries and attention he attracts. “Over” was the first single released from that album and was one of my favorite songs this summer. Other TML notables include Unforgettable, Miss Me and Up All Night. Plus his “9AM in Dallas” freestyle is absolutely filthy.

Hit the jump to finish reading: (more…)

“Never Forget You” by Lupe Fiasco ft John Legend

Fresh on Campus

This is a little less commercial than the last Lupe track that dropped, but its just as good. I’d even be so bold to say its better since its more like that classic Lupe.

John Legend on the hook keeps it mellow and Lupe does his thing on the verses. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting pretty excited for Lasers already…
