It has been announced that Lupe Fiasco’s next single will be “The Coolest.” I totally agree. What do you all think? There is no news on the video just yet. It should be dope though.

Also, here is a recent MTV interview with Lupe Fiasco:

So what’s on Lupe’s agenda?

- He proudly joined the ranks of Barack Obama and “a bunch of other rich bastards” as on of Esquire’s Best-Dressed Men in the World for 2008. “I’m not that rich,” he explained, “but I was on the list.”

- He’s been out discovering new and upcoming talent, recently signing a group from Chicago called He Say She Say (they boast a sound Lupe described as “amazing” and “dope”)
When a homeless man interrupted Lupe’s interview with an alcohol-infused freestyle, the rapper put on his mogul hat and said, “That’s my next artist there too, you know what I’m sayin’! Just signed him 15 minutes ago!”

- He’ll soon be rolling out the video for “The Coolest,” the next single from The Cool.

- He also plans to begin working on his last album. What? Last album? Well, that’s when Lupe decided to really get demure, switching the subject completely and finally responding to the original question that he had dodged so vehemently. “My last album — that’s later though. Right now it’s about CRS’ ‘Everyone Nose’ remix!” Touché, Lupe. Touché.

Some of you may have heard this remix version of The Coolest by Jonathan Emile. For those of you who haven’t, check it out. It’s a hot remix by Jonathan Emile.

Check out Youtube for more of his remixes. He’s a true hip hop talent. If we could only get more rappers like him and Lupe, hip hop would be at an all time high.
