Here’s the bonus track off the New Moon soundtrack so many of youse were clamoring for. Props to Dre.
Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. The New Moon team asked me if I could do a song specifically for the film. They invited me to an early screening of the unfinished film from which I pulled different elements that I thought would translate into a great song. I pulled in vocalist and bassist Graham Burris and acclaimed musician Matt Nelson to help fill it out my vision musically and “joila” Solar Midnite was born. The song basically deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters. It’s more on the rock side of my musical catalog and comes straight from my die hard fanhood of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Anthony Keidis, one of my FAVORITE RAPPERS. – Lupe

Snobbish much? Always glad to see lupe releasing new tracks!
Twilight FTL. Lupe fiasco FTW. this song… mehh…not feelin it.
HAHA good for you lkrskb24 lol!!! who cares…
im with ya on the lakers tho!! repeast!! Lovin this shit I love hip hop & rock!!
Sounds Like Percival Facts to me.
LOL @ headline: Lupe FiaCSo…
@ lkrskb24
Cosign. 1st listen I liked it. Lupe is THAT dude.
it’s not bad
It’s pretty dope.
Lupe’s rock tracks >>>>>>>>>>>> Wayne’s “rock” tracks
Feelin the lyrics… NOT THE BEAT THO….
Def sounds more like some Percival on that
@ Iksrb why are you such a hater? yesterday you were talking about how you got that jared evan mixtape a couple of hours before 2dopeboyz. you got some issues. mommy and daddy not give u enough hugs? we’re all very proud of you for listening to this an hour before us. hell i’m a little jealous. i just hope i can go on with my life….
boring beat.
@TXM – no doubt
GET EM PERCIVAL!!
@lkrskb24
seeing that the track dropped on iTunes like 12 hours ago…you were pretty late yourself…
@ derrik he had no hate in his post, just obnoxiousness
@TXM no doubt
im feeling the beat more than the lyrics…its good joint tho. Def gonna grow on me
@derrik & Sean
who am i hating on? and just becuz i downloaded it a hour before the post doesnt mean i didnt hear it on itunes first..Lupe did post on twitter that it was on i-tunes yesterday..
and dat sounds personal if ur a little jealous and not sure if u can move on with ur life..
i suggest u c a therapist immediately if ur taking it that seriously..
never knew claiming that u downloaded it b4 the post means u dont get enough attention from your mom and dad…
wtf? ur thinking too hard Derrik..calm down buddy, deep breaths deep breaths *wooossaah*
its cool I can digg it
Lupe Fiasco’s new style isn’t cuttin it. Dudes one of the top 5 out there and we all forgot that for a reason, cuz he doesnt bring it anymore.
hahaha.
lkrskb24 you’re a fuckin TOOL!!!
^this song was tailor made for that soundtrack tho..he still got good lyrics and flow on this track..just da beat he rappin over is not something most hip hop heads can get down wit
This shit is tight, even if it is for some gay ass tween movie, Lupe makes a way better rocker than Wayne
this is the different of lu coming.that rocker shit!.but its dope..lasers is going to be different..but is going to be epic.
FNF UP!
“Lupe Fiasco’s new style isn’t cuttin it. Dudes one of the top 5 out there and we all forgot that for a reason, cuz he doesnt bring it anymore.”
Are you stupid?
What has Lupe Fiasco released recently besides Fire? Which was unreal. He’s released some tracks under the alias Percival Fats but that is Wasalu, not Lupe. He doesn’t release enough music to keep him on the tip of everyones tongue but I guarantee he will bring some HEAT on his next album. Everyone loves you when you drop a hot song but if you fade to black for a minute everyone starts to think you’ve fallen off.
puhleezee!
Lupe is on par with hov when it comes to the lyrics.
I’m not a HUGE fan of Lupe’s rock tracks post-The Cool (Hello/Goodbye & Streets On Fire” are classics), but I’ve liked a few. This one is OK. Lupe is my #1 favorite artist though, so this is still killing a lot of other stuff out right now. The hook is pretty ill.
hmm ok let’s take a look at his recent tracks
Fire – lyrical mindfuck
Shining Down – fuckin great song
Solar Midnite – dope
Poppin Off – his 2 verses were fire
Lupe stay on top
it woulda been tighter if he actually flowed
@ vancity
I guess he is cause this type of music from Lupe isn’t really new. He did this type of shit back on The Cool. This here is just for a movie and is still better than most shit out. He needs to get his panties out a bunch.
track is BANANAS !!!!
lyrical mindfuck??
cyssero – animal http://usershare.net/1j0b0j84wn7f
Get ready to hear this in commercials or during your sporting events on TV.
d*** i like it tho… dope s***
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oZkzPnNYJ4
I fuck with it. Lupe just performed at my school last Sunday. the performance was mediocre, and he was on some Kanye type bullshit. I would have been satisfied with some more shit like this.
@ lkrskb24 im a lupe stan and i think this sucks its to pop
@ Ms. Hiphopaholic his performances been sucking lately i think hes brunt out
@ Mc persia ARE YOYU A FUCKING IDIOT he only dropped 2 songs besides this one since the cool and thats fire and thats fucking DOPE shinin down is a good song how can you say he fallin off with one 3 songs being released since the cool that nigga still bring it so fall back you ass this song was made for this movie thats why it sounds the way it sounds have you seen the first twilight if you did then this song sound will make sense to you
ps my cuzin made me watch the first film because i said it was gay
If you’re not into rock music then this ain’t for you
Dope. Only thing i could ever say i like from the twilight series :)
Lupe has been doing this style for years. He’s in a rock band for those that don’t know.
fuck yes,really didnt want to buy the album on itunes just to get this track. good looking out shake
Holy shit i had noooo idea Lupe made a track for the New Moon Soundtrack. Awesome, and thats why i STAY with 2DBz
@lkrskb24
dnt comment with ur shit, we dnt care if its an hour late dey still have da song
Don’t say you’re a fan of music, if you can’t appreciate every type of genre. Some of y’all sound like ignorant assholes. A lot of “hip hop” songs get their origins from rock, blues, r&b, so get over yourselves, “real fans of hip hop” lol

Lol @ Lupe “fans” who are shocked to hear something like this and don’t like it. Lu is versatile as fuck and has been doing shit like this for a minute. Japanese Cartoon anyone? This shit is sick AND fits the movie well. Win win for Lu.
when it comes to concepts…keeping them fresh…relevant…to a point…lupe is the most consistent ive heard in terms of those qualities…
dunno bout the lyrics…but got another song to add to the workout tracklist
thnx shake … for the post…
I’ll take Lupe’s worst rock songs over ALOT of the mainstream’s best rap songs
[...] A hip-hop artist on the Twilight soundtrack? Damn skippy. And for the record, dude can rock out with the best of them. Lu does his thing on the bonus track availble through iTunes. I actually may have to rent the first now. Shout to 2dopeboyz. [...]
