Lupe Fiasco – The Show Goes On
Posted by Charlie Goodvibes on December 3rd, 2010Sorry for the hiatus – life got in the way!
Lupe Fiasco wasn’t always a rapper that blipped on my radar. He’d come up in mixes, I’d heard him at parties, and I’d seen the odd video on YouTube, but I didn’t own any CDs, and I’d never bought any of his songs on iTunes. The Show Goes On changed that.
I’ll admit, I have a soft spot for Modest Mouse. They’re just a great band to listen to when you’re doing pretty much anything. Now, I was skeptical when one random website called The Show Goes On the best song ever, but when I realized that it was mixed with a fire-roasted Float melody On by Modest Mouse, I started to care a lot more.
This song has to be one of the best feel-good rap songs I’ve heard in ages. I put the video on loop for weeks until iTunes decided to offer it as a download and then I listened to it on my iPod for weeks after that. Just do it:
A totally worthy buy on iTunes if you have a spare buck or two. More of Lupe’s stuff can be found on his site.
