Lupe Leak: Rapper Turned Singer?

By shelz.

Music has become an industry that is almost always business before pleasure. Gone, for most of these artists, are the one man grass roots movements that engendered creativity over which they had complete control. Nowadays there is all this musical cross pollination. You’re a wiz at one thing, so maybe that wizardry will follow you to the next venture, right? Not always. Sometimes, the Lil Wayne’s and Kanye’s of the world have to realize that cornering the Hip-Hop market doesn’t mean you got the best product on every block.

The latest to run into this road block to multiple genre success is Lupe Fiasco. The latest of his tracks to hit the net is “What You Want,” a sort of R&B, ambient mid-tempo club tune. Sort of. It’s not a bad song in its construction. The track is smooth, just some bass and digital puffs of sound really. It has a decent hook and great lyrics. Lupe can’t REALLY sing though.

Lupe is a phenomenal rapper. I think most of us can agree with that. However, it appears rap is now the little pond, rap fans are anchovies and everyone wants to be the big fish, and well, everyone can’t.

Maybe this move will work for Lupe. I’m not saying it won’t. “Solar Midnight” wasn’t a bad song. However, how much sense does it make to dip your feet in that other pond when you haven’t even fully swam the one you are in?
