Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois) better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is an American rapper.

Prominent hip hop mogul Jay-Z describes him as a "breath of fresh air" in a new hip-hop world characterized by mainstream pop and glamour, a sharp contrast with the widespread lyricism-focused rap of the 1990s, and critics have called him the "hip-hop Generation Next vanguard."

LUPE DA TRUTH!
ONE OF THE CATS THAT CAN HOLD IT DWN IN THE NEAR "FUTURE"
Lupe is on a whole new level he got a profound insight in2 the world around him an jus tryna get a message out there but hes not blowin up like he deserves 2 cz hip hop 2dy is dominated by commercial ass rappers
Only Future left for hip hop would be Lupe Fiasco....
Lupe is the rawlest hip hop artist to come out this new millenium. The Cool is a raw classic and how it hasn't selled more is not a mystery, its a crime.If u dont like Lupe or respect his craft, u are not a tru hip hop cat. He is an awesome lyrist, magnificent storyteller, and amazing "flowist"-i made dat word up. Hip hop needs to get off this all about money, cars, girls(commonly known as bitches who those who dont repect women), and horrible lyrics. Lupe is way rawler than most artists today, yet Soulja Boy, Mims, Yung Joc,50 cent, all of G- Unit, most of Dip-set, especially Jim Jones, and a hell of a lot others, have sold more than him, and these is straight up garbage. Look all des one hit wonders and talentless artists out here. Soulja Boy makes one catchy jingle and everyone wants to be on his jock. A lot of yall jus make me sick, yo, straight up. If u kno u suck, why are u makin music. Leave the music fo those who have talent. Dis is why actual good artists cant get signed, cuz these wack rappers are inhabiting hip hop, and the consumers are buying it, thinking dat it is real music but it aint. Kanye, Lupe, Jay-Z, Common, Mos Def, Kweli,Nas, Lauryn Hill, Left Eye, the old pioneers if hip hop and a few others, actually do kno what hip hop is, and make an effort to make GOOD MUSIC! To Lupe keep doin what u doin, i wish u really didn't have to retire, but i understand where u comin from, The Cool is hot, if ua aint got it go cop it, and stop buyin albums from these wack rappers. Hopefully me and my group could get signed to 1st and 15th, and music Lupe would actually be proud of. Im out
I don't like Lupe but dat doesn't mean I don't kno or like hip hop so get DAT BULLSHIT OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
N also wen u named ppl who kno hip hop u didn't name Nas
I mean shouldn't of his name popped up like first
Somebody buy his albun
lol, go ahead
The coolest Nigga, What!
the cool isnt classic
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody wit sense on here
The Cool Has Surpassed Classic.
Coolest Nigga What
The cool was hot but 2007 was a great year for Hip Hop so i say he had the 3rd but album of last year after American Gangster(classic) and Graduation(classic) but from a lyric stand point hes number 1 the cool Classic
Ohh and what about Ear Drum or Finding Forever?
Best in the game today. Hands down.
i just wanna make it be known again hes da best
I jus had 2 stop by here n read all da positive comments 4 Lupe, only so I could fuk it all up
Y do ya'll niggas call this guy da best rapper, huh?
Wat has he done dat is so great?
I guess I don't understand cuz I don't b listenin 2 Alternative Rap like dat but I do kno one rapper in dat sub genre dat is better than Lupe n dats Skyzoo
2nd best in the game 2_day
I seriously thin I'm in love! No joke! I love Lupe he is what's real right now!
I was feelin some of his music. Hip hop saved my life, Which I believe should of been his album name.. But anyway, Hes a good emcee an all.. But I think his hype is for those who love Kanye and them type of rappers.. Which is hip POP, Not HOP. Sorry guys...
this nigga the best lyrically in the game
FUCK LITTLE WAYNE
