Bust a Moby, You Sexy Tassle You



I ran across this somehow...I clicked on a link that had the word HIPSTER in it...and landed HERE...The website is pretty comical...I've noticed that once you give, a way of life, hobby, culture, etc, a title....it no longer becomes cool...people don't like to be labeled...even if they live that life, they start to deny it...example...call someone a hipster that totally lives the lifestyle of one, and they'll deny it till the death...a hipster is not a bad thing...

THEIR DEFINITION:

Definition of a Hipster
Hipster - One who possesses tastes, social attitudes, and opinions deemed cool by the cool. (Note: it is no longer recommended that one use the term "cool"; a Hipster would instead say "deck.") The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream. A Hipster ideally possesses no more than 2% body fat.


Check their glossary of Hipster terms.....

And now....some music from artists labeled as 'HIPSTERS'
Lupe Fiasco feat. Uness-Kick, Push (remix)-produced by Uness
Cool Kids-88
Jay Electronica feat. The New Royales-Posers
Mickey Factz feat. The Cool Kids-Rockin Rollin

Lupe on Tavis Smiley

For those that didn't catch this anywhere else....Lupe Fiasco on Tavis Smiley....What's funny about this is they initially listed this episode as, 'special guest: :Latino Hip-Hop artist Lupe Fiasco'.....they soon realized their terrible mistake and made the proper revisions...but how did they come to the conclusion that he was latino??? Laughing out loud.....

Mary Poppins Tracks: Music to Get You Cleaning

"People Still Think I'm Wack..."

Angie Martinez interviews Lupe Fiasco...he talks about the fiasco that followed his hip-hop honors performance, and how he DID NOT grow up on Midnight Marauders, he even dropped some knowledge about M&Ms (that some would probably want to know)...

The Fiasco HATERS of the world must be completely crushed to:
1. Find out that the whole 'choking out a girl' incident was completely false...(ahem)ALLHIPHOP.com
2. hear that Lupe and Q-tip are 'supercool'
3. know that he is in fact a cool ass dude

Lupe Fiasco Live @ the HOB

A clip of Lupe Fiasco performing "Superstar" live at The House of Blues on Halloween...live band....Matthew Santos.....pure energy....great

"The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage...."

Lupe Fiasco's new video featuring Matthew Santos on the Chorus, for "Superstar". He introduces the characters in here, The Game, The Streets, and The Cool of course. Can you spot them out?? I'll follow up with a detailed breakdown later....but just watch the video, directed by Hype Williams by the way (He takes on a different approach for this video, not your usual Hype Williams feel).



video from ONSMASH

"Superstar" is Here


According to the Child Rebel Soldier blog, "Superstar" will be premiering today via MTV2 and on MTV.com and MTVU.com all day. His video will be an unleashed video meaning it will play on MTV2 every hour on the hour. TRL will be premiering it tomorrow, Tuesday @ 3:30pm. So, that means voting for it to be on the countdown is necessary. You can also pre-order "The Cool" on Myspace.


INTERESTING HINTS:
--THERE MAY BE 18 TRACKS ON THE ALBUM
--SNOOP DOGG MIGHT BE MAKING A GUEST APPEARANCE



In about 6 weeks, the wait will be over. I'll have the album in my hands && there will either be a bit of disappointment due to the fact that I've hyped up the album so much that it wasn't able to meet my silly standards....or I won't be able to stop listening to "The Cool", which is the same effect that F&L had on me. I'm almost 100% sure that this album will be banged my car stereo with much anticipation to play it each time I hop into the bishi. Avid supporter, yes I am. Quality music, yes, it's coming.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Strikes Again



I saw this sweater again && I STILL have no idea as to who the designer/maker of this sweater is, so any leads would be awesome (mco0686@yahoo.com). I know it's linked to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but who designs it? I'd like to learn a little bit more about the company if anything. It keeps popping up in pictures everywhere. Anyhoo, it looks great on her. By the way, this girl is a model/contestant in
Vmagazine's Supreme Management Model Search 2007. If you like what she's about vote for her.



SWEATER IN QUESTION ALSO SEEN HERE:

20 Tracks!!!

If you can read the above banner on my site, then you would know that, "The Cool is Coming". You should also know that this album might make history in my book. This is straight from the Child Rebel Soldier blog, news about "The Cool":


Word on the street is…Lupe played his entire new album a whopping 20 tracks to the staff at Atlantic Records today, and the label peeps lost their minds over the music they heard! The entire building is so gassed up, they are going to be working extra hard on this one! Expect early reviews poppin’ up soon….quiet as kept i heard Bishop G spits a mean 16…

Anyways, the big Halloween show tomorrow in Chicago, mang! It’s sold out, so luck you, if you got your tickets early! There is going to be so many surprises there! It’s going down!!!! Also, “Superstar” video is done, Hype did an incredible job…and it will be premiereing on November 5th - you will get to meet The Game, The Streets and The Cool that day as well! ha ha ha ha haaaa!

So what else? Well Lu’s gonna continue to hit the road, hitting up all the location radio stations in your city/town/hood you know! Spins are increasing every week, and the onslaught of press is COMING soon! Still 12/18…Still L-U-P-E…

Oh yea, the entire version of “Paris Toyko” - yeah it’s sick son! Anyways until next time…FNF UP all day!!!! FREE CHILLY!!!



I must say....20 tracks is impressive. I can respect anyone who takes the time to put together 20 tracks for their fans The TWO push backs just might REALLY pay off, who are we kidding, I'm 100% percent sure it will pay off. I have faith in, "The Cool". If it doesn't get the album sales, I know his fans will still be pleased with the outcome. His thought process and organization for this album is insane. Dec. 18th, where you at???

If you have yet to meet the "characters" (The Game, The Streets, && The Cool)...well here goes two of them:

Introducing, THE GAME:



And of course, THE COOL:
