Lupe Fiasco | “What U Want”
New music has leaked from the skateboard kid himself, Lupe Fiasco titled “What U Want”. This song is from his upcoming album ‘Lasers’. As Lupe raps on this track he infuses eerie beats and synthesizers with meaningful lyrics. “What U Want” speaks on a very complex and jaded woman that has gotten lost in this world. Her life consist of wanting and willing to do anything to escape her reality. She’s hallow and trapped. A very lyrically profound song. I can’t help but think he is channeling the Rihanna’s, Britney Spears’, Lindsey Lohan’s, Paris Hilton’s, etc. of our time, that have all in one way or another been seen as ‘losing themselves’ in the entertainment industry. Tell me your thoughts.
