Talk:Lupe Fiasco/Archive 1

message: I've added a template for Lupe Fiasco, but I don't know how to create one.
Would someone else who knows how to create one please do so?
I can provide a complete tracklisting, including singles, vinyls, and mixtapes.

message: Now is Lupe's song spelled "Kick Push" or "Kick, Push" ?
:It's "Kick, Push"  (and there is also a song called "Kick, Push II"). I have the album in front of me, although on the back of the album the song titles are in all caps. Boondock 02:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The listing of appereances isn't necessary IMO. Unless it is in a place you wouldn't expect a emcee to be, then i don't think its noteworthy. There's no reason to start listing his shows. --Jaysscholar 13:02, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the 1/15 and food and liquor should be seperated, they are very sperate projects, and there is enough info on each. 
Thoughts?

message: What happened to the list of mixtapes?
:Yeah, why were the Mixtapes removed? I know they're not official albums, but they're all official, and contain exclusive music, not released elseware. Jay 02:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia is not a place for conspiracies. The fact that he converted to Protestantism has no citation whatsoever. So i really don't know where the person who wrote it got the idea from. And after an extensive search on gooogle, i have yet to find even one source other thank wikipedia that references his conversion to protestantism. Till it has proper citation from a reputable source, I suggest removing this as it has potential to cause way too much controversy. This error is a huge error, especially since Lupe is adored in the Muslim community. so such an allegation really needs sources before being put on wikipedia. Sartaj 18:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reorder Categories 

message: Someone may want to check out the numbers in the singles rankings.  There is someone at an IP address who gets a kick out of vandalizing articles by changing numbers.  Here is the suspect edit:  .   It looks like some of these changes are still in the table.  Kablammo 02:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should we have  a fanbase subsection? 

message: Yes, his album does contain unedited swearing, and his songs come with an "explicit" tag, at least when downloaded from iTunes. 
Despite the prolific swearing at some points, he does say "forgive me for my favorite word for her and her's alike/..." after saying "bitch" in the song "Hurt Me Soul", maybe implying that he feels that cursing is a necessary evil for his medium of choice: ".../but i learned it from a song I heard and sorta liked"

thread_title:  Swearing? 

message: Is it really necessary to include his religious affiliation in the opening sentence? If you look at musicians who were promoted to featured articles like Weird Al Yankovic & Mariah Carey, none of them say "X is a Scientologist singer..." or "X is a Christian singer..." or whatever their beliefs may be. Same thing with rappers who were promoted to good article status like The Game and 2pac. Afterall, Lupe is most notable for being an artist rather than being of a certain belief system. It's important to him personally, which is why it belongs in the relevant 'Personal life' section. I also removed 'African' based on the good articles above. Spellcast 13:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Although Lupe is Muslim and he does refer to it a lot, his music is not focused on religion, meaning his religion doesn't really have to be put at the top. Sartaj 20:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Lead in

message: This article needs to be put under the scope of a "Good Article." Currently it is unorganized and confusing for many people. I think we need to work to help this article achieve at least a B status.Sartaj 04:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Was he approached to start a station, or to start a show on a station?  Article is unclear.
