Go ahead and guess who one of Lupe Fiasco’s favorite rappers is? Go ahead. The answer: Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis. If you didn’t see that coming don’t worry, I didn’t either, but it all started to make sense after I heard Lupe’s latest cut Solar Midnite, a punk rock-meets-hip hop hybrid off the The Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack. Having just delivered the similarly rockin Fire, here Lupe adopts a slow, not quite singing, not quite rapping flow that can only be described as, yes, Anthony Keidis-esque. Honestly, I’m personally a little worried. I hope he doesn’t pull a Mos Def and spend the next couple years doing experimental rock instead of rapping. Still, a creative force like Lupe can’t be constrained, and the man’s nothing if not a boundary breaker. The surprisingly good New Moon Soundtrack is available in stores now. In other words, with tracks like Solar Midnite on it, you shouldn’t be at all embarrassed to pick it up.

XuUP17 DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 225	Rating:          XuUP17's Top Rated Songs Well, you can hardly consider this to be hip-hop, but I like the genre so I like the song. I really hope Lupe is just playing around. He did a good job, but its like Jordan playing baseball.

Dj Baer Resident DJ Total Ratings: 245	Rating:          Dj Baer's Top Rated Songs You know, I classify this like I classified Kid Cudi, only this isn't as good. This isn't hip-hop, but it's good music.

cb126405 DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1386	Rating:          cb126405's Top Rated Songs This is the type of record MADE for Lupe. LOVED the rock edge on here and Lupe went back to his The Cool influence with the dark sound and flow. Surprising that this is on the Twilight soundtrack but this record is fire.

Rating:          FredRico's Top Rated Songs The flow is dope (he barely breathes), just like "Fire", artistically this is great, concept and matching lyrics. The music might not be very catchy, but it brings the mood it's supposed to, so I appreciate it! Being a RHCP fan, I'm not that surprised about Kiedis. :p He's got some swag! I like how Lupe has so many interesting dimensions to his life and preferences, thus bringin really fresh, quality music.

GStan10 Resident DJ Total Ratings: 964	Rating:          GStan10's Top Rated Songs Shows his creative side here. And it is sick. Lupe never does wrong. I liked the switch up of styles on this. I might check out that soundtrack...

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 3918	Rating:          DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Used to be a real big fan of the RHCP. I cannot say I would be okay with Lupe going this alt-rap route permanently, but once in a while it only shows us how talented he truly is... DJ Booth on Twitter

PattyPatty85 Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2878	Rating:          PattyPatty85's Top Rated Songs this is different, I like when they mix hip hop with rock. But I've heard better songs than this, even though it is energetic

Mr.Top Hat Resident DJ Total Ratings: 1883	Rating:          Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs Not a lot of replay value for me, but I respect Lupe's versatility, and lyrically he is always on point whatever sh*t you put him on. Judging from the concept n rock edge, I guess this would fit a soundtrack to a movie about vampires, right?

tophhlyrics DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 99	Song is cool and all but not what I expected from Lupe. I'm not really into rock like that, this song could definitely rule the pop stations. Has potential, it's just not my cup of T

KG43 DJ Booth Member   Total Ratings: 9	Rating:          KG43's Top Rated Songs like the switch over, not as much as his hip-hop, but his flow and lyrics work great with the rock. chorus is sick, but again the song is pretty damn good

Rating:          kevincassidy11's Top Rated Songs Luoe Fiasco set a hugh standard with me when hemade my favorite album that year---The Cool---- i listened to this songwith high expectations tha he would again b on top of his game with this his latest hit... this song i will admit did not live up to my expectations and i think that was because it really wasnt my type of song i think that it is very artistic of Lupe to be able to cover a whole new genre of music..... but ..... i dontwant him to turn into Mike Jordan... Lupe is a phenominal rapper i think he should stick with the talents that he was given... much love to him and i hope this song does as good as possible
