Lupe Fiasco to move to Africa?

When asked where he sees himself in five years, Lupe had a surprising answer. "Hopefully I'll be out of my traditional record deal, the record deal I'm in right now. Probably living in Africa somewhere, making rock music," he said. When pressed if he was serious Lupe laughed and said, "Who knows man? Who knows? I don't know."

The Chi-Town emcee then elaborated on his wish to be free of Atlantic Records. "Yeah, yeah. I would rather be independent, I would take that," he said, before adding that independence isn't the easy way out. "Independent comes with its own set of consequences, so that takes preparation. The same way you prepare to come into a record deal, you need to prepare to come into an indie situation because there is a lot of things you're going to lose taking that route."

Reese suggested he could just get on iTunes and promote through the blogs, Lupe wasn't so sure. "Yeah you could, you could. But I'm banned from half the Hip Hop blogs on the Internet (laughs)," he said, referring to his backlash against blogs for leaking his songs. "I confronted them, I called them out. They felt I confronted them in a very physical way, which I did not."

Wale and Kid Cudi Solve Beef Over Twitter

t's not too often Hip Hop artists settle their conflicts over Twitter. That particular online medium seems to be reserved for flaring public beefs rather than squashing them, which is why Wale and Kid Cudi's public peacemaking comes as a surprise.

The two crossed wires last September when Wale mentioned Cudi in a song. Cudi shot back in Complex Magazine by calling his DC-based peer "a simple-ass rapper." Both artists addressed the beef, but never attempted to make amends until now.

Lil Wayne in copyright trouble

If you haven't heard about Lil Wayne's copyright troubles, then let me inform you. Recently accusations came up that the beat for Wayne's hit song "Ms. Officer" had been already used by Michael "Mali Boy" Bradford. Bradford filed the suit back in January 2009 claiming that he had originally made the beat five years prior to its release. Producer Deezle had apparently reworked the beat, originally titled "Popeye," for Wayne's Tha Carter III and received all of the credit for its production.Bradford isn't the only person suing Weezy for "Mrs. Officer." Apparently, Deezle is also suing Weezy F. for $2.5 million worth of royalties for the very same song.
What do you think about Wayne's troubles?

Album to cop: Free Agent by Joell Ortiz

You probably haven't heard much of Joell Ortiz, but his new album should make a name for himself. His new album "Free Agent", is a very good album for modern day hip hop for sure. Extremely good lyricism and good variety when it comes to flows and the overall mood of his songs. In my opinion this shows what modern day hip hop should be geared towards.
Rating: 8.2/10
Tracks to listen to:
Battle Cry
Nursery Rhyme
Call Me
Oh!
and So Hard
