Lupe Fiasco’s Shining Down Single Cover
According to Amazon, the single will drop on July 7th. [via lupEND]
The final version isn’t that different from the leak some of you may have heard already. Matthew Santos’ chorus is a bit altered now and some of the instrumentation behind Lupe’s words are less extravagent. It’s a bit toned down from the original version but it’s still a very solid track.

If weezy died 2 things would happen.
1. Nate and dre would have a legitimate reason to post Drakes every emotion and reaction.
2. More ‘fans’ would come out the woodwork.
Just like this MJ fiasco, dude died everyone wants to forget the molestation and the wierdness.

If Wayne died that would be crazy. I really hope Wayne doesnt died.

If he don’t make a statement in the next few hours I will continue to think the government killed him after they ruined his career because of his influence. That nigga literally had over 20 million fans… thats more fans than America has.

after someone like him dies we all start to realize that he was taken for granted. People pushed him to be wacko, & I never thought he touched those kids.
He did steal those babies though. LOL.
he sang about love & peace & sold it all over the world. He made people have hope & be positive. That’s more than almost any one on this earth could EVER say. It may have been corny, but he did have a big influence on people & he made people happy.

he was a Slave to Mike Jack, nigga had the beatles Cata.in a headlock.

I respect his music, I enjoyed his music.
But as man, he was a sick individual, a weirdo, a freak, a nutjob.
He took the innocence of those children. Fucking pedophile

^niggas act like they was in the bed when he so called molested these lil mofo’s, he was weird, but who am I to judge? I wasn’t there, so I can’t say he did, or didn’t but I didn’t listen to his music because he camped out with children, I listen cause his shit was hot.
And I hate when niggas wanna be debbie downers when everyone else is feeling a certain type of way, let that nigga rest & shut your mouth

Who the hell am I to judge his psychosis? We all know for a fact that the media feeds on negative shit, parents will use their kids to get money & the government lies to discredit people. He may have touched some kids, or maybe not. I was not there. The fact remains that he changed music forever.
I’ve felt that way before he passed.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I still want that shirt michael had on in the “beat it” video with the piano keys on it, shit was hot son
June 26th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
& not only did he change music, he did it with nothing but positivity. He never sang a negative lyric in his life.
