Lupe Fiasco - The Cool Retail (2007)
A fairly new and until last year pretty much unknown American rapper Lupe Fiasco releases his second album “The Cool” and you can get it now thanks to group WHOA, who brought it on the scene 7 days faster against the retail date. If you want to listen litle different style of hip hop, this is a good choice.
Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool expands on the story Lupe told on the track, “The Cool”, from his debut album. Fiasco introduces the characters the Streets and the Game. Each character has defining attributes explained in the Food & Liquor bonus track Pills: The Game has dice for eyes, blunts for arms, and hollow tips for teeth. The Streets is a temptress with dollar signs for eyes and tattoos of ex-boyfriends like Al Capone and Alexander the Great. The album tells the story of the little boy from “He Say/She Say” who grew up without a father, and the people that step in to raise him are the Streets and the Game.
Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois) better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is an American rapper. He rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his critically acclaimed debut album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor. 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.” His second album, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool, is expected to be released December 18th, 2007.

http://rapidshare.com/files/76366780/LFTCLFTC.rar
this is the best guy out there in the rap game
@3
Couldn’t agree more, hate this music.
He would not last long in my town.
Moar music! kthxbai
KKK:
You would not last long in my town.
@3 and 8
you are both free to dislike hiphop music, but the fact you don’t like it doesn’t make it crap or not good. It’s art. Many love the Halo series, but I don’t…cause well I don’t like the whole genre of FPS, and don’t really like the idea of going around other people for fun, but I respect those who think it’s fun, it’s just not my kind of thing, what I really hate is when people don’t like hiphop and call it crap just cause they don’t like it. Lupe Fiasco has been nominated for four grammy awards including best hiphop album. It’s a grammy, the most respect music award for the american industry.
Hate rap.
I am in no way racist. I just dislike this kind of music I’m more into rock and alternative music etc.

This album is exceptional, definitely worth a download, even if you don’t listen to hip-hop that often. The best hip-hop album I’ve heard this year.
Rlslog seems to be a hiding place for ignorant pussies, they wouldn’t have the balls to say a lot of this crap in real life. Clearly they don’t deserve free speech, bring on the censors!
I just upped this to my forum. I feel strangely ashamed like I’ve been caught touching myself..ho hum
Every Genre has crap music,country,jazz,rock,indie,rap and so on . I apperciate good music no matter the genre. THIS is good music. If you like it buy it, ALWAYS show apprecation to the artists.It seems good work is hard to come by these days.
I’m a big rock and metal guy myself, but I really like Lupe Fiasco. He’s one of only two rappers I enjoy in fact. Can’t wait to hear this new album.
Lupe Fiasco lol FIasco in Portuguese Failure….
Lupe Fiasco lol FIasco in Portuguese mean Failure…
Would everyone get over the word n-igger already? COME ON! I hate the color purple but I don’t go around beating up people who wear it.
If you want to be treated as an equal, act like one. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT!
if you dont like the album or dont like rap why are you posting here???
jesus christ i can’t believe there are still racists in this world… get the f over yourselves and keep your comments to yourself
The ignorant people like this will sit behind a computer and say racist things all day. At least real racist and real men will join a hate group or something at least. I don’t like hate groups, but at least they will stand up for what they believe and not sit behind a computer and a keyboard, and spew racist crap. I will say it once, twice, and forever you are b!tches
Cause haters need to be heard to soothe their own insecurities
we need censors…i’m black and i’m offended.
@30 do you really get offended by someone who can’t even spell Ku Klux Klan properly?
lol @ ignorant racists.
I love hip hop…but I can’t say I care for Lupe. pass
I mean I think Rlslog like the racism It’s all probably little racist white boys
1. Who get beat up at school
2.Have no balls what so ever
3.are so scared of black people they have to come online to Vent
4.Probably fuchk there sisters and moms
5.Hillbilly’s with no life and inferiority complexes
Haters who cant even hate have to do it online
It’s sad cause most of the idiots must be so jealous of my man Lu they ain’t got girlfriends other then there moms and sisters of course
Wassup with the white folks being so mad?
WE TAKING OVER
GRAMMY’S AND MILLIONS
SOON THERE WILL BE MORE BLACK MILLIONAIRES THEN WHITE
DAMN THERE ALREADY IN 2ND PLACE AS IT IS!!!
LOVE the Hi-Definition track
Hip-Hop Saved My Life
Little Weapon are both really good
Great album altogether
I liked the killah priest album better though
Ghost face killah album is probably on par with this
im curious as to how much free time and lack of an actual life outside of the net.. it takes to be racist on rls site.
@37
HaHaHa obviously good point
And RlsLog wants to give them a voice too
this is what happens when losers find the internee LOL
Jay-Z mixed with Zeppelin is out.
People have a right to be racist all they want.
//Begin of Sarcasm
NOoooo, wait let us send everyone who is a racist to the gulag for thought crimes…
This sounds better, anyone who criticizes other peoples opinions/sexual orientation/handicap/race let them rot in prison.
//End of Sarcasm
1. Haha all these racists hiding behind their comps, they’d never voice their opinion to a black persons’ face. No one cares if you’re a racist or not, if you are, much deserved negative karma is coming your way
2. No one gives a damn if you don’t like Lupe Fiasco or rap in general, go listen to something else! get out of the post and go do something else with your free time like find a girlfriend (or just lurk on RSLOG all day like yall normally do)
3. RSLOG thanks for posting this, I will be bumping this for months to come. Lupe is a breath of fresh air.
*”F$ck the haters, go do somethin with your time beeeeiitch!”
-RIP PIMP C
The music industry is about making money, not art. Him winning Grammy’s doesn’t make him an artist, it makes him a good entertainer. Music is art, this is entertainment for the mentally challenged. Make the distinction!
ha ha he grew up without a father……. Bastard
rlslog was soo late with this
got it 24 hours ago and i’ve heard it 12 times now
probably the best album of the year
I have a huge c ock - so i can relate to this racist issue. Tho i’m white… but …
Dammit! Forgot what my point is - like all the post on this board!
It is really sad that people still use the N word and actually think they are offending someone. I’m totally over that shyt. LOLOLOL It just shows how ignorant you really are..and why in the hell do you even care to post this crap when you don’t even listen or have the mental capacity to understand such music??? Get over yourselves, CRACKERS, cuz we’re taking over, one city at a time!!!!
Taking over what? Noone wants it if you live in it.
i’m with 47 ppl hate so many types of ppl because of the change they bring, and they see this change everywhere, in their homes, on the street. You can’t hold back whats meant to take place lol just deal with it and throw all the names you want.. you’re here and he’s there.. :OP
Rap is cr@p and so r n1ggaz!
This music is cool, but SKINDRED IS BETTER!
I honestly don’t know why people always hate on a hip-hop album. Lupe can really spit! Superstar is my favorite track.
alright i’ll give this a go. but if says bling dollar dollar bills or any of the other ret.arded sh.it g-ufu.ck and co. c.Rap about i’ll delete it faster than you can say wiggerism.
and yes i do like hip hop, just more of the old school stuff and a few assorted newbies. k-os springs to mind.
as for the kkk ghay people, just ignore it. they’re just fishing for idiots to respond. trust me i fish for idiots to respond all the time.
I don’t Know why bother post this kind of music,
since only afro-Americans listen to this crappy,
and is common knowledge that they don’t know how to use pcs…
thanks for posting this. been waiting on this for awhile now. don’t know if it can top “food & liquor” though. i mean, i could listen to that album straight through… it was that good.
This album is wack and so is Lupe Fiasco…and this is coming from a hiphop fan.
@55 -
Please just kill commit suicide…
@56 -
hipHops fans are just so g.a.y
sorry …gold watch just killed it for me. Is it so hard to rap about things other than GOLD WATCHES, GOLD CHAINS, FANCY CARS, GOLD RING…..that spoilt a potentially good rap on a tight beat.
FAIL.
Album is fiyah…I love it!! Here are some links for yall,

Why do the same idiots come back to respond with different names?? and what made a white person click on Lupe Fiasco?? It’s a wonder some of you fools got the spam protection math question correct, cause you’re just pure ignorant. It is sad the length whites will go through to insult or put blacks down. Haven’t you done enough???? It just shows that we are getting ahead, and it is really pissing you off. Keep up the hate, cause I love it!!! Didn’t know whites thought about blacks so much…. At the end of the day, who is miserable??? HAHAHAHAHAHA Y O U!!!
@59 Listen to Lupe’s “Daydreamin” he actually raps about how sad it is that majority of rap is about jewelry, cars, and degrading women. You should really try to listen to his music before you’re so judgemental.
For real, leave our brothers alone.
And if you don’t like a rls, ignore it if it’s not a packing problem.
Let the people who like the so-called “crap” talk to eachother about it and we’ll leave you alone.
@63
so gold watch was an … ironic track?
FAIL.
It is actually a decent album, not his best work but still worthy of a buy. And yes this guy is a rap artist but not the kind where material possessions are bragged about etc.. No wonder Jay-Z likes em.
oh yay, another douchebag rapper.
Yeah, cause a history of adorning jewelry is much worse than a presisposition to enslaving, raping, robbing and murdering other cultures.
I pre-ordered 4 copies… FNF!
i can’t believe how ignorant some of you are…listen at least before u bash someone juz cuz of his colour…this album is pure class to say the least
@ eitanois:
they post hip hop because it beats country, apparently your type of music, any day.
LUPE FIASCO FULL RETAIL!!!
LINK IS UP - GET IT WHILE ITS WORKING

@ 28
Mate you need a “klu”.
I am just amazed at how this types of threads that begin with african-american rap or hip hop artists can (and usu) deteriorate so quickly into issues of of race and racism.
Amazing.
I really recommend you all to listen to this album even if you dont like rap! This guy is really amazing just give it a listen and I promise you wont be disapointed.
Good album,,, u will like it if you don’t listen to hip/hop or rap.
For the people that like him, you should go buy his album. ITS worth it.
LOL it’s the young “Method Man”
man for those of yall who dont like him, then dont bother posting your comments here, its totally unrelated and a waste of time for you, and people actually reads the comment for recommendations..
When is the music industry going to quite their patronizing of this crap by calling it music? It’s time to get truthful and call it what it is—horrible poetry put to a terrible soundtrack. Most of this crap teaches HATE! We do not need anymore HATE in this world.
I know thousands of African-Americans. Yet none of them where born in Africa. Does this make me a Euro-American? Hell No it doesn’t. It makes me an American. Let’s stop this political correct sh!t and face the truth. If you were born in America, you are an American—Not an African-American.
^^ I know plenty of africans who would agree with you. They find it ridiculous that ‘african-americans’ call themselves that, cause they are nothing like africans.
“Lupe Fiasco lol FIasco in Portuguese mean Failure…”
>he has a producer thats Portuguese and he did a song call failure
also if you like the album you should buy it
i don’t wanna get into the whole download music argument
but if you downloaded it and liked it , BUY it
it comes out on tuesday the 18th
also on this album he went more alternative with the sound
especially on a song called Little Weapon produced by Patrick Stump from Fall out boy
and another Called Hello/Goodbye assisted by UNKLE
so check it out dope stuff

The true African & the so called African-American look nothing a like. The white man has bread most of the black out of the so called African-American leaving a cream-chocolate in its place. Maybe we should call them Creamy-Chocolate-Americans. It makes more sense!
lupe is the best
go go gadget flow is my fav. track
Best rap album of the year.
HANDS DOWN.
Keep doing what you do best Lupe, we love it!
the mixtape lupe made THE COOLEST was far better

Lupe Fiasco’s album truly represents what the world is about right now through lyrics that express intelligence and understanding, yet still flowing together in clever words that make you think, as well as listen even harder to fully process. He and Kanye West are my favorite rappers because they represent how we, all races, can break free of the mold that binds us to stereotypes. Lupe Fiasco’s the cool is a fantastic album and I haven’t even bought it yet, still I have heard Ben Frank, Real and Superstar and the choice and variation of words and how he laces them together can only represent pure genius. He talks about how we percieve the world, small significant things that influence us, and human natutre as well, in Superstar, our love for the limelight and how we yearn for it, Real with how we want for temptation and need to focus on the light. I can say that Lupe is up there with Common and Kanye. True rap artists. Truly educated and aware of the world. Love this album.
It’s art.
You can love it, hate it, or be indifferent about it.

Any current links? Megashares prefered. Thx a bunch!
nice album Lupe is a good artist way better then lil wayne true fact and to all the haters, you hate because you do not understand maybe he has to dumb it down a little more but then again that will ruin the album.
