Originally found on Andrew‘s Fake Shore Drive mixtape; now fresh w/o tags courtesy of SketchesOfMySoul. And word on the internets is that Shining Down will be hitting us on Tuesday. I know that will make a LOT of c-boyz ecstatic haha.

^^ Lupe said he has albums where he mimics Biggie’s flow. He said he has a whole album where he sounds like Jay-Z too… I suppose it was an important exercise in developing his own style/flow.
Thanks for the track, Shake.

Can’t wait until that “Shining Down” drops. The studio leak was hot as hell. I can’t wait to decipher his lines. I know that they’ll be complex yet raw as hell once again. I might check the site once an hour. Lol.

I think they redid the hook completely on Shining Down which is why it’s taking so long to release. Hopefully it does drop on tuesday.

Everything dropping tuesday. CH’s album, Curly’s LP, Shining down. Gonna be a good day
ComplexTheMC said this on June 14th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
How many albums does Lupe have where he mimics a legends flow? Are there more than the Biggie album and Jay’? I expect he’d have one for Nas as well.
I’m telling you someone needs to run up in his house or wherever he stores this material and steal all of his computers.

It wouldn’t be on computers cuz if so they woulda been leaked by now by a hacker. It would be on discs.
Shady Universe said this on June 14th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
@ this guy
completely agree, before I even read the title, I thought it was gonna be Shining Down haha but any Lupe is good, and yea I’ve been wanting to see that Wale cover up for awhile but no mixtape yet, elitaste says it should be dropping this week, hopefully
Marshall said this on June 14th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
@james I remember in an interview that he said he’s done albums of Jay, Biggie, Nas & Ghostface as well. But yeah:
Lupe Fiasco > *insert your favorite rapper*
Only newcomer I think got a shot of rivaling him is the (mythical?) Jay Electronica

SargeWP said this on June 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
On this he still mixes in a little bit of his own flow, but on ooh he flows B.I.G. to a tee. Can’t wait for shinning down to come out. I wonder if Lasers will still be three discs, now that it’s no longer LupE.N.D. .
NoloLin said this on June 14th, 2009 at 11:00 pm

blu said this on June 15th, 2009 at 8:17 am
this is Lupe’s week, even though i’m anticipating that Wale and J.Cole. Food & Liquor is a hip-hop CLASSIC!!! in my opinion it’s one of the best debutes, next to Illmatic and Ready to Die.
dcruz.88 said this on June 15th, 2009 at 8:24 am
I really hope Shining Down drops tomorrow… Any new Lupe track is like a second Christmas in this mothafucka.
