Lupe Fiasco – The End of Time

Lupe Fiasco is back with a new mixtape.  It’s great how the music industry has evolved; artists are in more creative control and can release material to spark interest for their actual album.  Also the artist does not have to pay royalties on songs sampled for mixtape material, giving them complete freedom.  Here, Lupe samples M83’s “Midnight City.”  This actually works quite well, d/l Friend of the People: I Fight Evil now!

M83 – Midnight City

I don’t why we haven’t posted this sooner.  A little 80’s style vocals, over an electro-pop beat, …can’t lose.  This French act was founded in 2001, and since has released several albums. “Midnight City,” is off their current album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.  Speaking of the 80’s, slap bracelets have made their return into stores, I can’t wait till 2035, when they remake Saved By The Bell, and they get Screech to play the new Mr Belding.  That guy got the short end of the stick when that thing ended, at least A.C. Slater gets to host that dance show on MTV.  Screech who already had to deal with the fact his real name is Dustin, just got fat and weirder.
