So I wasn't able to cop tickets for Lupe at The House of Blues but I was able to snatch up this live version of "Paris, Tokyo": http://zshare.net/audio/645186327f1113/
I actually caught Lupe live last summer at the UCLA Jazz and Reggae Festival but was looking forward to seeing hm again since he now has more music to perfrom. I guess I gotta wait 'til his next album drops.
Lupe Fiasco-Sunshine
One of my friends actually saw him ealrier this week at the Jimmy Kimmel Show but was kinda disapointed with his lack of attachment to the crowd and his fans ( I guess she reached out to him but he didn't touch her hand). Well, what do you expect after the way he treated his fans during the whole Tribe/Midnight Marauders debacle? Check this out if you don't know what I'm talking about...which you probably don't since you're not an internet troll like me. http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=5&topic_id=1528807&mesg_id=1528807&page=2

Aural Flashbacks Vol.1
Every now and then I tend to go back and re-listen to albums that A) I just haven't listened to in a while for whatever reason or 2) I didn't like the first time. Today I got out early from school so I decided to catch up on some seldon listened to music:
1. Broadcast-Pendulum
An extremely underrated British band that doesn't really have a big following--that I know of. This album happens to fall under the first category--I just forgot about it. It's quite short ( a 6 track EP) but pretty damn dope. I even had to change my default song on myspace after listening to the title track. The lead singer is pretty hot and so is her accent which you barely hear on this EP as only a few songs contain lyrics--the other are instrumentals.
2. Aesop Rock-None Shall Pass
I know that this just came out early in 2007 but I never really gave it a good listen to. This was the first Aesop LP I purchased and I kicked my ass over why it took me so long. The abstract lyricism on this is pretty ill--even though it doesn't make sense at all. Even though I thought it was pretty dope this is the type of album that i'll throw on when i'm cleaning my room or someshit. It's a little too dense for me to just sit down and enjoy it.
3.Interpol- Our Love to Admire
Booooooring! I kinda feel bad because my girl got me this after I couldn't find it anywhere and I only heard it once. First off, i'm a big Interpol fan, of there first 2 records at least, and this was utterly dissapointing. This makes me want to fall asleep. It's funny 'cause I used to play their first album at work when I used to work late and everybody would complain because they would get sleepy. Listening to it again I found it wasn't that bad but I'll probably won'y throw it on until next year.

You're My Boy Blue
So I'm gonna come out in a Blu video. On Wednsday night Blu invited his fans to attend a 'Party' him and Taraach from C.R.A.C Knucks were MC'ing--it turned out to be a video shoot for "Blu Colla Worker"! The shoot was dope as hell, Blu on the mic while Exile was on the 1's and 2's--hip-hop in it's purest form. The shoot then turned into the party that was promised but only for a few hours--the lights went out! I'm not sure what happened but I heard somebody say something about the fuse box blowing out. People were still partying afterwards but then the cops came and well you know the rest. All in all it was a good night despite the damn place blacking out after Exile's third song in his set (which was "Simon Says"). Soon as I get the pictures and video for the shoot I will post.
Until then peace.
