After this pretty much confirmed to all the remaining non-believers that Lu was back, I figure I'd drop a lil sum'n to remind y'all that he never left. Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, circa 2007. I remember downloading this album the night before it dropped, and rapping every track word for word at lunch the next day. It was that serious.

Word on the street is, they all got heaters
They gon' hit you up and you ain't even gon' see it
You got a lot of money I ain't tryna be funny
But they say where you goin', you ain't even gon' need it.

Lupe's former right hand man finally drops something new. No more FNF but he's still moving.

Gemstones - My Hood

Gemini, GemStones, DeMarco Castle, or whatever you’d like to call him, officially came out of his self-imposed retirement last night, for an incredible set at Chicago’s Darkroom as part of the Writer’s Wednesday series. In this candid interview filmed by Chicago’s TMZ, Bobby Rocwell, Gem opens up about his relationship with FNF, Lupe Fiasco, his self-imposed exile and much more – all intertwined with live footage from last night’s set. Pretty deep stuff. On The Road To Glory: My Story – coming in March.
