Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982) better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is an American rapper. He rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his critically acclaimed debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor.
Prominent hip hop mogul Jay-Z describes him as a "breath of fresh air" in a new hip-hop world characterized by mainstream pop and glamour, a sharp contrast with the widespread lyricism-focused rap of the 1990s, and critics have called him the "hip-hop Generation Next vanguard." His second album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, was released on December 18th, 2007.
Lupe is highly influenced by Crucial Conflict, Kanye West, Spice 1 and Nas among others. Lupe regards It Was Written as his favorite album and cites it as his primary source of inspiration.
Lupe is also an avid skateboarder, which influenced his debut single "Kick, Push". Lupe is also heavily influenced by anime culture; he has referenced the following anime shows in his lyrics: Lupin The 3rd, Transformers, and Trigun. He is also influenced by comic book culture, films, and different forms of art.
