鲁佩·菲亚斯科（Lupe Fiasco），美国嘻哈歌手，代表作《The Show Goes On》。

Lupe Fiasco, 原名Wasalu Muhammad Jaco， 现年36岁。音乐流派：Hip hop。现在同时是rapper，songwriter，record producer和1st&15th的CEO。

原名Wasalu Muhammad Jaco，出生于芝加哥，是家里九位兄弟姊妹中最小的成员，父亲为非洲籍鼓手，母亲为美食大厨，对于Hip Hop音乐的喜爱获得家里支持，早在上中学的时候就热衷于饶舌表演，以东岸街头诗人Nas为目标，其专辑It Was Written给了Lupe莫大震撼与影响。中学毕业后先是组团Da Pak并签约于Sony厂牌旗下的Epic，不久解散后又因和Jay-Z合作单曲被L.A. Reid相中并签入BMG厂牌旗下的Arista,不过他个人事业的发展却并不顺利，一直充当着小角色，直到和主流大厂Atlantic唱片签约，在公司极为重视下全心着手筹备他的个人专辑。值得一提的是，虽然是Hip Hop歌手，但信奉伊斯兰教的Lupe，却遵守教规不去Club、不抽烟喝酒，成为乐坛的异类人物。

Jay-Z 觉得他歌词玩的文字游戏让人精神振奋；Twista把他看作来自芝加哥的下一个说唱大明星；XXL 杂志评价他是一个在2006年与巨星们平起平坐的新秀，并且还将得到大量的称赞。 业内人士都把他看作是前途无量的新星，他就是Lupe Fiasco,一个穆斯林，滑板高手与球鞋狂热收集者，他以一首关于滑板的说唱歌曲《Kick,Push》横空出世，不久在主流媒体开始热播，不久他的处女专辑《Food and Liquor》就广受好评。

一开始听那旋律就知道这张专辑十分特别。Lupe在序曲中唱到“没人会做得更好”，我们听到的旋律流畅无比, 从详尽的故事讲述转换到对社会的隐喻。文字游戏如“跟一个盲人坐在一起然后给他描述什么是黄色，这十分困难”就可以让我们轻而易举的了解到Lupe为什么能得到这么多好评。 在整张专辑中各种名词动词入弹珠般迸射。《Just Might be Okay》就是一首文字游戏的代表作. 这首曲子中以恰到好处的鼓点与喇叭声为背景，Lupe 展现了他的抒情诗体“my vida loca was built like Bob Vila via God,” “now we hold the coming like contracepts” 以及“I’m cool I don’t foretell best/I ain’t nicest emcee/I ain’t Cornel West/I am Cornel Westside/Chi-Town Guevara…”

同时，Lupe在《Kick, Push》中讲述了一个惹了一身麻烦的滑板少年试图掌控自己的生活的故事。这是一个令人难以置信的抒情表现。《Kick, Push 2》则是故事的续集，令人赞赏Lupe讲故事的能力. 另外《The Instrumental》是一首由Linkin Park的Mike Shinoda操刀的作品，带有明显的Mike风格，但是Lupe却用自己的歌词让这首歌有了更多的社会隐喻。.在《Hurt Me Soul》这首作品中，Lupe回顾了自己的说唱生涯，细数了那些对他产生影响的歌手，在曲子的最后，他还指出了这个社会的病态，唱出了他的无奈与忧虑，也是我最喜欢的作品。《I Gotcha》则是一首调侃性的歌曲，描述了各种不同类型的人，开玩笑的告诉我们“处女”与“皮条客”的原型。但是在这首歌的最后，Lupe用一些政治术语让听众重新回到严肃的状态中来。在《Real》中，Lupe深入的说明了一些街头、游戏与正义的典型问题。《American Terrorists》一看这首歌的题目就知道是一首政治性的歌曲，对美国社会进行剖析，从美国历史一直到美国的时事，表达自己的社会观，聪明的批评了美国政治的不公平。

Lupe带着他的精神食粮，成为美国hip-hop的未来。《Food and Liquor》表现了Lupe的嘻哈哲学，从爱情、社会到政治，涵盖内容十分广泛。Food是指社会的优秀，Liquor则是指社会的病态。如果你想为大脑提供些营养，这里有丰富的智识；如果你想听一些好听的旋律，这里也有适合你的节拍。这张唱片关注了社会各阶层的生活,这将使它成为经典之作。这张专辑是对人生、社会的真实反映，兼收并蓄的包含各种元素，为你提供知识与娱乐，这也是Hip-Hop的真谛。
