Once again the rapper with the lyrics that actually make you think hits a top spot for 2009. The reason I chose Lupe Fiasco for this spot is because of his consistency in the underground. After the huge commercial success of "The Cool" Lupe did fall out of the scene but did show love to the underground after releasing various singles via the net. Though the title of his upcoming project has changed and he may not be retiring anytime soon anymore, he still has that unqiue flair that you can't miss. He has also stated that he will be making more mixtapes for his hardcore fans. He gets this spot this year because he didn't forget about us. Lupe Fiasco's music is best heard when you have those days you want to be different and really have some sort of self-expression through whatever means that you choose. Cause at the end of the day, we are not losers...WE ARE LASERS.

Do Your Own
I've looked at all the old music videos of Michael Jackson and realized that this man has set many many trends. From the jackets that Lupe Fiasco wears, the belts that Jim Jones rock, and the hats that you see Mos Def wearing. Even the moves that Lloyd, Justin Timberlake, Omarion, Mario and even Marques Houston perform every night. He has inspired artists such as Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Missy Elliott and countless others. What this man's legacy has brought is something that no one will ever be able to immulate. Its crazy how now I see where the sneaks with the fat tongues, the velcro and studded belts, the vest with the white tees and the suites with the sleeves rolled up came from. The only thing that Michael didn't invent was the fitted hat. But then again, how could you with your hair constantly being wet from giving once-in-a-lifetime performances all the time. I just wanted to take the time out to thank Michael Jackson for not only his constribution to style, innovation, and music, but also to man kind. Michael has done a LOT of philanthropy work in his time and has really been one of the few to really make a difference. I tip my hat to him, and I'm glad to have lived to see what amazing truly is.
