In case you haven’t noticed, chart topping Hip-Hop of late has been infused with catchy synth-production that caters to dance clubs.  To clarify, we don’t mean Soulja Boy’s “Superman” dance or Hurricane Chris’ “Hand Clap,” but rather Timbaland’s The Way I Are or Diddy’s duet with Nicole Scherzinger, Come To Me.  DJs like spinning artists like The Cool Kids or Kid Sister; the more artists catch on to this trend, the more their music will be heard in places it customarily is not.  If you purchased Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool at an outlet like Circuit City, you’re enjoying the bonus cut, Black Out.  Produced by in-house man, Soundtrakk, the beat is right in line with Timbaland’s best synth-heavy production and allows Fiasco to be himself without changing up his style to cater to a new arena of fans.  “You can’t see me,” raps Lupe.  Actually, we can see you; we can hear you too.

CB: not as single by any means. Just a bonus track we thought we'd feature. This album is a classic! Next week look out for a post-Christmas Lupe feature interview!

Believe or not, a lot of people are sleeping on this album and it's a shame. Soundtrakk did a superb job on the production work for The Cool, mad props to him. Have you guys seen the new fan-made video for CRS' "Us Placers"? It's off the hook just like this song.

I like the beat on this track, but I think his flow sounds forced at times on here. I really like Lupe Fiasco though and the chorus is hot and he actually has something to say. I need to listen to the full album already...It's sitting on my desktop, but I haven't had the heart to press play...Soon enough...That's just how I am with Lupe...I wait until after all the buzz is over and just mellow out and listen...

I agree that it's not as good as some of the other tracks on "The Cool". Still nice.

Holy Jebus this guy has so much latent talent it's ridiculous. You can tell Lupe was experimenting heavy on this track, but whats crazy is that it doesn't sound half bad. This guy can probably spit weezy style on a barry manilow track if he wanted. American Hip-Hop has really progressed with this guy.

This is pretty dang hot. This is definitely a Lupe bonus track type joint. I wouldn't have fit on the instant classic album, but it's a dope extra track.
