VIDEO: LUPE FIASCO - “PARIS, TOKYO”

Sunday, April 13, 2008

Here is Lupe Fiasco’s newest video “Paris, Tokyo” off of his sophomore release, The Cool. Mr. Fiasco is looking rather fresh in the video and I love this song.

In related news, Lupe will be joining Kanye West on his upcoming “Glow in The Dark Tour” along with Rihanna and N-E-R-D. Peep his myspace for the latest. Oh and shout out to Nahright!

This is a nice song but it doesnt sound like a major hit which is a good thing cause I wouldnt want Lupe to get too commercial. Hes a very good rapper.

I love Lupe.

He’s just so talented. I agree with #2. I dont want him to get too commercial, and I guess he doesnt either because he says he wants to get out of the game after his next and last album.

Either was, he’s an amazing dude and I’m quite in love with this video. He serves as very nice eye candy ;-)

I’ve been in love with Lupe since those mix tape day’s and I didn’t even know what he looked like then *shy*

This was one of my fav off The Cool so I’m glad we got a VIDEO!!!! Yaaay, fresh to death he is :)

Lol @ No2 & 5 essentially saying they don’t want the man to be successful hence getting the cheques that he deserves because others may bastardise his music….

His last two LP’s have been classics, but yet the man struggles to get anywhere near platinum… But then you have talent less heffa’s such as Rihanna who don’t play a note or write a lyric for their albums, but she’s one of the biggest artists out…

No5 did you ever stop to think why the man’s gonna get out of the game after his next LP?

I mean I don’t blame him… What’s the point of being in the industry when you aint getting the recognition you deserve…..

@ 12. The point is that you are doing something that you love. He should continue to do his thing and tour. He has fans worldwide, who cares if he isn’t platinum. He is going to let his loyal fans down if he doesn’t release any new materials or albums.

Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

I like the song. I hope Lupe has the tough skin that he’ll need to continue making songs like these. His kind is few and far in between in the hip hop industry these days.

Do you know how horrible you sound? “Great, it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be a hit. Wonderful, no cheques for Lupe.”

You sound so horrible, man. Some backwards shit to be saying. Have to agree with 11…

I love this song, Sunday afternoon jam…

:D

I absolutely loved this video. It flowed smooth and relaxed (like the song) and the wardrobe was VERY fresh. I loved how the girls were classy and DRESSED. The entire vibe of the video was classy. First point I want to clap up.

Second point, Lupe is phenomenal and although he may have a few misses (ala the VH1 Hip Honors slip up..), he is a true lyricist with innate talent that cannot be denied. I hope that the video gets good airplay on the networks though because mainstream loves to ignore folks like him.

Sunday, April 13, 2008 /

@11 some of my favorite musicans are not commercial artists like Goapele, Amel Larrieux, Common, Talib Kweli. When I say I dont want them to get commercial doesnt mean I dont want them to be successful!

When a lot of artists go commercial the value of their music declines,( ie nelly furtado). They give up their originality for money.

I did not mean taht I dont want them to make a lot of money, of course I do but I respect artists who make music they love and don’t sell-out!!!

And thanks Angel for deleting my first comment lol

Lupe is one of the most talented rappers of the last 10… and this song and video only prove my point! Nobobdy is on is level right now!

the songis already hit its like one of the most played songs off his album out here in the chi everyone plays it.

both albums should go down in history

even though its something he loves to do what about making a living right along with it. the reason he aint sellin like rihanna is because people still stuck on being soooooooooo commercial and still wanna here peopletalkin bout drugs, hoez, and guns. when u talkin bout something different they want you to dumb it down.

Love Lupe’s music. He’s what I consider HIGHLY under-rated. I love this cd. You should listen to it if you haven’t already.

REAL HIP HOP, a real artist, and i got so much respect for him, bought his cd, I rarely buy cd’s but made an exception. Love the video n song, Hip Hop Saved My Life was also awesome, don’t know why it wasn’t posted in CL tho

Lu is the truth to hip hop. He is so slept on by the industry even thought he’s a phenomenal mc. You cannot listen to his mixtapes and not become a fan. I hope he doesn’t retire because without any music from him I don’t know what I’d listen to in terms of hip hop. The thing I love about him is he’s so real and I never get worried about him selling out, it’s just not him.

I guess I don’t know good music cause I’m not really feelin’ this song. It’s okay but it doesn’t make me want to play it constantly or put it on my Ipod. Lupe’s cd overall was good…I love ‘Intruder Alert’- that’s my joint!!!

LADY KAY

@#11 and #19

You’re misinterpretting my comment. Like #22 said, its not that I dont want him to be sucessful, I just wouldn’t want his music to dumbed down to garner commercial success.

@ #11, I have read why Lupe says he wants out and I can only come to the conclusion that, like you said, it’s because he’s not getting the recognition he deserves.
Lupe’s extremely underrated and its a sad fact that his music isnt appreciated. I totally understand if he wants out because of that. At the end of the day its a reflection of the world we live in, and sadly there’s not much else fans can do but continue to support music he makes.

A superb mind used to be appreciated. Just not anymore.

Agree with #18. Took me back to the day when hip hop was cool, laid back something you can listen to all day.

No cursing, calling women bitches, talking about what you got, money, cars, rings, blah, blah, blah.

This was tight.

Nice video to a great song.

@ #34 TOONS:

There’s more than enough real hiphop besides Lupe which is even more underrated. Check out some Brother Ali on youtube and let me see if you still stand behind that opinion ;)

@Nee-Nee— ITA. Since I heard him on the mixtapes and bootlegs of
College Dropout I’ve been so impressed by this smooth, talented,
inspired and obviously upstanding young man. It’s encouraging to
know that real artists do get shine every know and then— there are
way too many with too much to say that are slept on.

OMG! I LOVE THE VIDEO! FITS THE SONG VERY WELL. THE CONCEPT WAS MAGNIFICENT & I AM SUCH A FAN OF VINTAGE 20′S-40′S APPAREL! (EVEN THO THOSE ITEMS WERE CLEARLY REPRO’S)… LUPE IS “FLY AS IVAN” … NO DOUBT!

I love Lupe Fiasco, reps Chicago well. I also think he is very sexy. He’s music is great, all up and through my ipod. Get “The Cool”, it’s great.

Oh My!

Dang, during makin’ that album his father died, a good friend, and business partner sent to prision. Aww

Lupe has talent and the video is decent. On his next lp being his final lp…BYE! Like Jay said “it ain’t for everybody.” For him to be so arrogant and dissing classic Hip Hop bands like Tribe Called Quest (see the Hip Hop Honors controversy) you would think he’d have more stamina for the industry. I think artists like him are afraid to fail with another possible lp follow-up that doesn’t sell as well as his previous efforts. That sucks.

Be out then Lupe.

I love this song and the video does it well. I hope he doesn’t stop making good hip hop cause talent like his is needed in this industry. I have both of his albums and they are worth every penny. He can always go independent . I hope he doesn’t give up.

I absolutely love this song! This was the first song that stood out amongst the rest of the tracks on his album. Something about this song reminds me of a cold cloudy day listening to John Coltrane or Duke Ellington. It has that cool crisp vibe that you can relax to. People are still in this mode that hiphop is dead but when you have jewels such as this song it shows that there are still creative talents out there that can give us something to listen to. Much luv Lupe maybe i’ll take a trip to paris or tokyo ; - )
