Lupe Fiasco feat. Pharrell - "I Gotcha" video

This isn't the circlejerk that was "#1." Actually, you can't call that a circlejerk because Kanye and Pharrell are entirely too self-absorbed to jerk anyone but themselves.
Just yesterday we touched on the notion of rappers being free to have fun in their videos. While The Good Pastor Mason is one clownish extreme, Lupe Fiasco is what the game's been missing. Fuck a Juelz Santana.
Who told that phony-ass Alicia Keys that she was allowed to come outside? Unless that's actually Guadalupe's girl, she need to sit her happy-go-looky ass down somewhere.
This is one of them rare occasions where I aint got much slick to say about the video. It's clever, fun and well-done. Even though it's some green screen shit, it's pretty damn dope. It also doesn't hurt that Fiasco spits nails. Wouldn't be surprised to find the boarded up bodies of rappers in abandoned Chicago buildings.
I can't wait to get that 5th edition of Food & Liquor!

I copped the album Tuesday. Money well spent.
P.S. I think the bootleg was a classic though

Lupe is silly with it! Fuckin ridicoulous.
The video is aight, nothing spectacular but yeah, Lupe's flow makes up for it like shit.
I've had the bootleg all summer and I still got the album. Hit up Best Buy, they got the extended version with 3 bonus tracks. Plus it's only $9.99 so cop that!

I'm really interested in what he's got going on. I love the song- the video..meh, but pretty much all videos after Do the Evolution have bored me.
Good job, Lupe- good job.

I like Lupe and he's definitely what hip hop's missing. Haven't heard the entire album, but what I've heard is pretty good.
