I hate fake ass wannabe rappers who bite from real hip hop.

Then again, to each his own. That's what

is all about.

MOS DEF and not Del??

Jay Electronica: “Act Two Is Coming December 25th”
If some of you aren’t aware yet, Lupe recently announced he’s not dropping Friend Of The People on X-Mas. Sucks, right? But that sting should only be temporary, as Jay called in to Shade45 to announce that Act II: Patents Of Nobility will drop that day. Now go ahead and change your draws.

01. Del the funky homosapien - Funk Man
02. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2
03. Souls of Mischief - Montezuma's Revenge
04. Wale - Attention Deficit
05. Slaughterhouse - Slaughterhouse
06. Kool Keith & 54-71 - Idea of a Masterpiece
07. Mos Def - The Ecstatic
08. Del the funky homosapien & Tame One - Parallel Uni-Verses
09. Camp Lo - Stone & Rob: Caught On Tape
10. DOOM - Born Like This

Great year for hip-hop!

dang, so i just realized Lu's Im Beaming is a leak... I found it weird to see, cuz Lu is real tight on getting his music leaked...

Then Lu posted this

Quote

For The Record:

The track “I’m Beaming” that was leaked last night was NOT authorized or intentionally leaked by myself or my company.

Plain and simple its STOLEN property. And this goes for ANY record or track that leaks or is made available for illegal download from this day forward.

Actions are being taken and the authorities have been notified.

As a personal plea to all my fans PLEASE DO NOT share, stream, or download any unauthorized or stolen Lupe Fiasco music.

A lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own personal finances. My music is the product of my life. It means so much to me. I take pride in it and i also take pride in how it changes peoples lives and gives them hope. So to see it treated in this manner really numbs the soul. So many of my family and friends rely on me for their well-being and I rely on my music to give me the opportunities that allow me to provide for them.

So this one i’m taking personal. And I will do ALL that is in my power and my circle of influence to make sure that the persons directly or even remotely responsible for this and any future events involving the piracy and illegal distribution and solicitation of my music will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Both criminally as well as civilly.

With the history that surrounds the devastating and massive piracy of my first album i’m sure some of you can understand why this very harsh stance that is being taken up. And for those of you unsympathetic enough not to understand i can only compare it to someone breaking into your house and stealing everything not tied down or someone kidnapping you sister or brother and ransoming them back to you. A deep sense of helplessness. I hope you never have to feel this and i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

Happy Holidays…

EVEN AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT LOSERS…

Lupe Fiasco…Friend Of The People…

I downloaded it, sounds dope, but i'm gonna delete it.
