Lupe - Kickin & Pushin to the Top

Lupe Fiasco is my favorite hip hop artist ever. I just wanted to get that out there now so there are no questions in the future as to why I post so much about him. The guy is just one of the coolest, realest, most conscientious, most intelligent people to come around in a while.  I wish I could think of some more adjectives just to sneak more incredible links in here. 

Lupe's one of those guys you listen to even if you hate hip hop. Lyrical wizardry aside, perhaps the most impressive thing about him - he knows how to use his spotlight. Check out the video below to find out more about the best rapper alive and how he recently earned a Character Approved Award from The U.S.A. Network.

The Character Approved Awards honor the characters of the U.S.A. who are changing the face of American culture. Character Approved honorees are innovators in their field who influence our opinions, our style, and our view of the world. They surprise and inspire us with fresh ideas.
