Music has the ability to transcend all kinds of physical and mental barriers. It breaks all boundaries and appeals to every individual. Music also has a responsibility. Since it can reach such large numbers of people, music can help convey ideas, provoke thought as well as reassure an audience. Lupe Fiasco has been in the news lately thanks to his controversial song Words I Never Said.
Da Kid, Grey, & Fiasco
In this fast paced rap song with booming music, Fiasco talks about the failing economy as well as the situation of the people who have to deal with foreclosure attorneys after having taken loans from banks. In his words, “crooked banks around the world, would gladly give a loan today, so if you ever miss payment, they can take your home away!” Too bad he does not have any lyrics about Barnie Frank, (D), a senator from Massachusetts. Furthermore, foreclosure lawyers are hired to put homes on auctions.
This single was released recently and truth be told, it is every bit as controversial as it was expected to be. This generation’s ace music maker Alex da Kid has produced the song that also has vocals by Skylar Grey.
Coming Soon
The reaction to the controversial number has been positive and the Internet is abuzz with news about it. Too many people in the country have lost their homes to foreclosure attorneys and the banks that they represent but many people have bought homes they should have known they could not afford. Fiasco takes up some paramount issues and more in his song. This song is his second single from his new album Lasers and is slated to be released on March 8.
