Lupe Fiasco 'The People Speak' about Democracy on the History Channel

"I said once, and I'll say it again, the real enemy, my people, is right here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people, or myself by becoming a tool that enslaves those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom, and equality."

- Lupe Fiasco

None other than Lupe Fiasco spoke about democracy for the History Channel's 'The People Speak' and the powerful quote extracted above set the tone for what seems to be a gripping, thought-provoking discussion. It should come as no surprise to Lupe fans that he has very opinionated, passionate ideas about society and the quote and video above is a nice teaser into his contribution 2 this History Channel special. Check out Lu's Twitter if you're in Pennsylvania for details on his free appearance with Run DMC 2nite for 'The People Speak', which looks 2 be airing on the History Channel on December 13th at 7 CT.

Down below, check out some new audio - a mix of hip hop and R&B with Chicago's B.X.C. droppin' their first track off their upcoming mixtape, Off The Leash. A new mixtape track from Freddie Gibbs is also liberated (via X) and he goes in over a hard Buckwild production. Finally, Mike Schpitz contributes 2 DJBooth's Freestyle series over a new Slot-A beat. Amidst more new tracks from the likes of Ne-Yo, new comer Brittani Senser, and Nicole Scherzinger, the last Kevin Cossom Hook vs. Bridge leak features Pusha T and is my favorite of his so far.

Videos include a nice episode of ConsTV that shows Kid Cudi and producer?! Josh Hartnett on the set of the video for "Pursuit Of Happiness". ConsTV is also on YouTube and not on the annoying randomly auto-playing Kyte player. Nice. Remember: 2morrow the "Whatever U Want RMX" comes out featuring fellow G.O.O.D. artists Kanye West, Common, Kid Cudi, and Big Sean. Speakin' of Big Sean, check out some footage of him receiving his limited edition 'Pow!' chain (hah!) at Chicago's RSVP Gallery. And lastly, a video premiere from Three 6 Mafia. Enjoy!
