[Music Video] Wale ft. Rick Ross & Lupe Fiasco - "Poor Decisions" + "Bad" (Remix) ft. Rihanna

Wale's album The Gifted is set to hit stores on June 25th, and if his hit single "Bad" and "LoveHate Thing" are any indications, it may give both Kanye and Cole's project a run for their money.

In addition to The Gifted, Wale will team up with his Maybach Music compadres for their third Self Made compilation, which will drop on August 6. Watch the video for the project's first offering "Poor Decisions" featuring Lupe Fiasco and Rick Ross below, and hit the jump to stream the re-release of "Bad" featuring Rihanna who stands in for Rico Love's newest Divison 1 signee, Tiara Thomas.

The song alone is enough to bring powerful imagery to your mind but Lupe Fiasco proves that his job is to empower and challenge hip hop as he narrates the story of "Bitch Bad." I wrote a paper on his track "American Terrorist" back in college, but this record deserves a book.

Food & Liquor 2 is set to hit stores September 25th.

Lupe Fiasco Breaks Down On MTV RapFix After Watching Old Footage Of His Chicago Neighborhood [VIDEO]

The murder rate in Chicago is out of control, and while thousands have been affected, seeing how the senseless crimes have affected Lupe Fiasco makes the impact even more real. Yesterday, during his stop through MTV's Rap Fix Live, Sway played 2006 footage of My Block: Chicago, which showcased Lupe giving the reporter a tour of the hood where he was raised. After the clip ended, Lupe couldn't contain his emotion and disappointment knowing that six years later, things had not gotten any better. 



Come on world.

Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album is on its way, so I'm hoping to hear the Lupe of yesteryear that I loved from here on out. Sadly, I can't hear the song over the controversy that's developed. "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)" samples Pete Rock & CL Smooth's classic "T.R.O.Y." and the legend is NOT happy about it. Hit the jump to find out why!

Mikkey Halstead & Lupe Fiasco - Gone ft. Jim Lavigne

Things have got to change Chicago, and Mikkey Halsted, Lupe Fiasco, and Jim Lavigne are stepping up to the plate. Here's what Mikkey had to say:

In light of “37 SHOOTINGS, 46 VICTIMS & 9 MURDERS” during Chicago’s first ‘warm’ weekend, the Trayvon travesty, 6-year old Aliyah Shell, and in honor of my cousins Ismail & Malik that were gunned down last summer…I felt as though this was the time to drop this song. Shouts to Lupe for helping me paint a vivid picture of what goes on everyday in Chicago and every other ghetto in America. Also, shouts to David ‘D.A.’ Doman & Jim LaVigne for providing us the perfect canvas to paint upon.

Special Dedication to Blair Holt and the hundreds of CPS students lost to senseless violence.

WE CAN NO LONGER WAIT FOR OTHERS, SEEMINGLY UNAFFECTED BY OUR ISSUES, TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS FOR US. SPEAK OUT AND SAY SOMETHING, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO SOMETHING.
