Obama Nation Part 2

Word is that Lowkey might have Lupe Fiasco on Obama Nation Part 2. He already has M1 on it. That line up would be immense.

"Retweet if you think I should try to get @lupefiasco on Obama Nation Part 2. I have already got @m1deadprez on it." Is what he tweeted a while ago.

If you haven't heard the original:

"Truth is limitless in its range; if you drop a 'T' and look at it in reverse, it could hurt."

Fuck you Zu, I saw the title and thought he'd released it!!

That would be amazing, though.

I think if Lupe has more creative control and ties himself down to one topic (such as Obama Nation) it could work brilliantly. The problem I found with something like Words I Never Said, he never seem to get a chance to focus on each thing he mentioned - he wanted to talk about so much he was jumping from one topic to another, and it gave the song a bit of an unbalanced feel.

Fingers crossed the rumours are true.

Lol, my bad, man. Didn't want to get your hopes up for nothing, guys.

The thing with WINS is, is that he had to cramp in everything he wanted to say. We shouldn't forget that it was a single, in order to reach people with the things he wanted to say he had to jump around from topic to topic. It would've been too much if he concentrated on just one topic, the average listener wouldn't appreciate such a song, especially if it was a single over a poppy-esque beat.

But I agree, if the concept was limited to just one thing, Lupe would probably produce one hell of a verse. Not to mention that Lupe's views on Obama are pretty much the same as Lowkey's. It would only make sense to have Lupe on it.

Lowkey is still working on his album, Raids. He said that in an interview last month. So, I guess, we're looking at a summer release, hopefully.

^Yeah, same over here, haha. It was always a ''dream collabo'' type of thing to me, never thought it would come this close to reality.
