(Lupe Fiasco)All day today I was steady straight studying in the library isolated from the world while so much was happening in the world of music. The long awaited track, "Shining Down" by Lupe Fiasco was leaked onto the internet today. I posted a snippet of the live version a few weeks back in the May 22, 2009 Playlist. Someone apparently hacked into Lupe's e-mail and stole the song. Many of the other websites have it up for download and the song is surfacing all over, and Lupe has some strong words about it. The song is unfinished and according to Matthew Santos' Twitter, the live version will be straight tweaked and much better. If you want to hear the song, I'm sure you can find it online, but instead this time I want to post an article in Village Voice where Lupe expresses how he feels about leaking tracks and illegally downloading music. This article has inspired me to finally put up a disclaimer of sorts and explain the purpose of my blog.
