His third album, Losers Lasers, was shelved in 2008 by his label because they thought it wasn't "pop" enough. There are numerous references scattered throughout both albums. The album was critically acclaimed and got him three Grammy nods.Ī year later, his sophomore effort The Cool told the story of three different characters: The Cool (aka Micheal Young History), The Streets (the female personification of addiction to the high life), and The Game, a manifestation of the perils of urban living.
Not long after that, his debut album Food & Liquor dropped and the lead single "Kick, Push", a homage to skateboarding among other things, started to reveal the talent the young rapper had.
One of the more unique Hip Hop artists out there, Lupe Fiasco (real name Wasalu Muhammad Jaco)'s first early success came when he appeared on Kanye West's "Touch the Sky".
