Lupe Fiasco 'Words I Never Said' teaser leads new videos

UPDATE (01.19.11): Lupe just released the official Lasers album cover (above).

 

 

I have said a couple times on these pages during the past week or so that I am really lookin' forward to Lupe Fiasco's next single "Words I Never Said" as news has come out that it is produced by Alex Da Kid and features singer Skylar Grey. And oh yes, that it is controversial. I don't think you can tell from the teaser above [sarcasm]. Times Square becomes the backdrop for the themes and issues that will assuredly be topics on the single. For example: "The war on terror is a bunch of bullsh*t" and "Crooked banks around the world would gladly give a loan today so if you ever mi$$ payment they can take your home away". The words are contrasted with some recognizable icons and fonts for 'TV' or 'Diet Coke', for example yet again. That, combined with the pro camera work and editing, plus the epic backdrop of what I would assume is the Alex Da Kid production, makes for one helluva teaser. The single is arriving 02.01.11 and now, like all Lupe fans, I can't wait even more. UPDATE: Lupe Fiasco talks "Words I Never Said" video coming by end of February and much more news and tidbits here.

 

Down below lies a lot of dope featurettes in a batch of new videos. Nas talks his passion for cassettes and early hip hop culture (unfortunately, there's probs with the embed, but you can view it here). DJ Green Lantern tricks some fast-rising artists to listen to his beats. Chris Brown discusses fashion and style with the help of Swizz Beatz, Big Sean, and Tyga. And, not a featurette but a music video, in the form of a dope one from Skyzoo & !llmind. All of the videos below are pretty fresh and interesting, so you should check 'em out as well as Lupe's teaser above. Enjoy!
