As MY heart gently weeps



Ever since Nas' brave statement that hip-hop is dead, rappers have seemed to go far out of their way to prove him even more correct then expected. Rappers such as Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and even the highly respected Kanye West have forgotten what hip-hop really means and have focused more on "gettin' money" rather than music as an art. Thankfully us true "hip-hop heads" have artists such as Little Brother, Lupe Fiasco, Wu-tang, just to name a few to keep our ears from bleeding endlessly while the rest of the world plays these auto tuned filled so called rap lyrics. Well, at least we thought. Who is this Percival Fats? Could he be a new artist or just a rapper going by a pseudonym? Many people believe that its Lupe Fiasco and at first I did too, until i heard that fictitious British accent. Would Lupe go that far? Or is this just all fun and games. Yes, Kanye decided to be the next best thing and start singing on his tracks, and yes Lil Wayne decided getting shit faced beyond belief and crying like a baby on tracks would bring in the doe, but a British rock star, Lupe, for real? I don't know, the game is all mucked up and is in desperate need of some help right about now. Hopefully the new Jadakiss album will set some people straight or Red Cafe will bring some fire to the game. What ever, check out these Lupe, excuse me, I mean Percival Fats tracks and let me know what you think.
