Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco (/ˈluːpeɪ/ loo), is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor. He also performs as the fron tman of rock band Japanese Cartoon under his real name. As an entrepreneur, Fiasco is the chief executive officer of 1st and 15th Entertainment.

 

Raised in Chicago, Jaco developed an interest in hip hop after initially disliking the genre for its use of vulgarity and misogyny. After adopting the name Lupe Fiasco and recording songs in his father's basement, 19-year-old Fiasco joined a group called Da Pak. The group disbanded shortly after its inception, and Fiasco soon met rapper Jay-Zwho helped him sign a record deal withAtlantic Records. In September 2006, Fiasco released his debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor on the label, which received threeGrammy nominations. He released his second album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, in December 2007. The lead single "Superstar" became his first top 40 hit on the Billboard. After a two-year delay, Lasers was released in March 2011 to mixed reviews. However it became his first album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. His latest album, Tetsuo & Youth, was released in January 2015.

 

In addition to music, Fiasco has pursued other business ventures, including fashion. He runs two clothing lines, Righteous Kung-Fu and Trilly & Truly; he has designed sneakers for Reebok. He has been involved with charitable activities, including the Summit on the Summit expedition, and in 2010 he recorded a benefit single for victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Fiasco is also noted for his anti-establishment views, which he has expressed in both interviews and his music.

30-something shots from the ghetto gun

All in the ears of the ghetto young

Some ghetto girls, some ghetto sons

Throwing rocks at the bus and other ghetto fun

I always wondered where the ghetto from

Cause I'm from the ghetto, the never ghetto come

Buzz you in if the bell of my ghetto rung

And if the ghetto lose, that mean a ghetto won

That's how they do the ghetto, that's how the ghetto done

They keep it, they never bring the ghetto none

What make the ghetto tick, make the ghetto run

What make the ghetto sick, make the ghetto dumb

These off that ghetto beer and that ghetto rum

And that ghetto bass with my ghetto drums

And my ghetto words and these ghetto problems get ghetto sums

That's why...

 

The pizza man don't come here no more

Too much dope, too many on the porch

So the pizza man don't approach (no, no, no)

Pizza man don't come here no more

Too many on the block, too many getting shot

So the pizza man don't stop (pow, pow, pow)

The pizza man don't come here no more

Too many getting robbed, don't wanna starve

But "they ain't got no jobs, blah blah blah"

The pizza man don't come here no more

Deliver, deliver, deliver

 

Is it cause they're selling nicks out there all day

Cause a prostitute sucking in the hallway

Little Caesar's never sending pizza out y'all way

Papa Johns never get delivered where y'all stayed

The ghetto was a physical manifestation

Of hate in a place where ethnicity determines your placement

A place that defines your station

Remind you your place is the basement

White people in the attic

****** selling dope, White people is the addicts

White folks act like they ain't show us how to traffic

All that dope to China, you don't call that trappin'?

Breaking Bad, learned that from a TV

So don't say it's politics when you see me

When you gon' apologize for your CD

That don't match red and black to a GD

Can I get delivered from the sin?

Get a little slice of Heaven, I can enter in again 

Or maybe just imagine that I'm living in a mansion

Or a palace and my pizza gets delivered in a Benz 

Make a savior out of savage like they made it out of magic

So it take a havoc and it make it into friends 

You don't even need a salad, it don't make a fatter

Actually take a backwards and make a thin 

That's a deep dish, Chicago style get the peace stick 

Home run hitter, I be drilling on the weak pitch

Lay into the plate then I put it in your face

I'm a man, never biting on the hands that I eat with 

No Giordano or DiGiorno

Homemade Bull City bring it to him like a toro 

Throwing dough up in the air-bottom to the top and shredder

Full of cheese smarter than a purple ninja turtle

I'd be very surprised if he was, considering he's Muslim. In my time on here, I can't remember having any Muslims.

I'm surprised, but not in a bad way, that an Orthodox monastic maxim made its way onto the Lupe Fiasco thread. Cool... I think?

Meant to say in thread title he was as in around 2005 or so. Doubt he is now though it's possible he still lurks from time to time. Lupe is very active on the web from what I'm told.
