Couple Things

Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone. Today's post is a bit thrown together but I have just a couple songs I'd rather share than featuring a particular artist.

To start, here are a couple tracks that have leaked from Lupe Fiasco's upcoming album Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. I got a hold of these a couple weeks ago but never got around to post them. The first track is the first single from the album titled "Superstar" and features Matt Santos on backing vocals. The second track I thought was going on the album, but right now it's not listed on the tracklist on Wiki (you know, the ultimate source for music information). Either way I really like the song, its titled "Can You Let me Know?" and has a catchy but unique beat that has become representative of his style. Lupe has really risen in my eyes as an mc and my expectations for this album are pretty high, so hopefully he doesn't disappoint. His ability to add depth musically and lyrically to his songs is amazing and while his sound might not be radio friendly enough to put him with the other mega rapper stars, I think he has the talent to belong.

And if you liked Kanye West's remix of Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" then you should really like this track which combines another popular French techno song reworked with American hip hop artists. This time it's Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." featuring Mos Def and Spank Rock. Its a catchy track that will get the people dancing in no time, just as the title might suggest.

Oh an finally there's this band, which musically didn't impress me at all, but I gotta admit that I love their band name
