6. Lupe Fiasco
MMG – “Poor Decisions”
Self Made 3
(MMG/Atlantic)
We’ve all watched the transformation of Lupe Fiasco‘s career over the years, and whether you find it to be beneficial to the genre, or detrimental to his legacy, I’m sure we can all agree that one thing is still intact. His lyrics. Whether we refer to his classic Food & Liquor album, the rushed and corporately influenced Lasers, or the social commentary-heavy Food & Liquor 2, there’s no shortage of lyrical potency in any of Lupe’s projects. These talents are adequately showcased on one of Self Made 3’s lead singles, as Lupe raps about the unfortunate effect consumerism has on inner city youth. Right up his alley, right? It shows.
