Lupe Explains All City Chess Club

Earlier this month, Lupe announced the formation of the All City Chess Club. The crew consists of: Asher Roth, B.o.B., The Cool Kids, Charles Hamilton, Blu, Diggy, Wale, J.Cole and Lupe himself. This afternoon on Hip Hop Nation, Lu explained how the clique came together, fearing Blu, and the “Beaming” remix.

  4. jimmyjams says:

    cant wait to hear this shit, charles goin own it

  5. killacrack says:

    4 real i never felt this fool but everyone talks about him like hes good,didnt feel his 1st album or his mixtap-he just not my style just like asher roth = overhyped. j.cole im feeling him but B.O.B not really im tired of rappers singing on tracks and saying its hip hop.Wale is a lame dont call him a breath of fresh air just cuz he dont rap about what mainstream/radio pushes artists to do.Charles Hamilton is a lil sonic the hedgehog weirdo but i respect his talent,whens hes not getting punched in the face looking like hes about to cry hes cool. its 2010 lets stop calling peoples opinion hate unless your name is KING JUGGERNAUT cuz then you can eat a fat one while riding in your police car
    Rick Ross style and i aint talking donuts u slimeball! oh yeah i couldnt stand WALE when he 1st came out – now i can admit he is tolerable.J.cole goodluck and remember industry rule #4,080

  6. Eric_Wright says:

    awesome, but get rid of charles, asher and wale-they all doo doo

  7. bap2313 says:

    @jimmyjams Cut Blu!?! Are you insane? He’s probably the nicest on there.

    These cats are the future. I’ve been saying it for years now. Lupe is my favorite MC and it was crazy when I heard about the All City Chess Club b/c pretty much all of those names were artists I’ve been praising for years now.

    A lot of people might not be on board, but that’s the good thing about hip-hop. I like it that way. Just like when hip-hop first started people didn’t understand what it was all about.

  8. Ac@pella! says:

    This oughta be dope…

    @killacrack

    Kill yaself…

  9. jadaqwest says:

    like mail on a sunday……….

  10. Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid says:

    lupe fiasco is on another level.. hip hop supporters now a days have no clue what lupe be rappin about. you gotta analyze his shit like 5 times to understand everything. he is the greatest alive next to eminem… wheres that i’m beamin video?

  11. Nathaniel says:

    i can’t play a spice 1 record?

    asher, charles, and wale will fall into obscurity in the future (asher and charles already have, wale is next). the cool kids will remain at the status they’re in,

    (i’ll admit i have never heard blu rap in my life, but i may have to check him out finally)

    B.o.B. isn’t going anywhere, neither is Lupe. J.Cole’s album better make SOME kind of noise (and not fall by the wayside like wale’s shit) or he’ll be in a bad position too. although i have faith in that nigga, even if this one bricks he’ll come back out swinging harder…i BELIEVE this Cole World shit will be dope though.

    sometimes i feel like lupe’s creative mind just moves too fast. slow down my nigga…he be tryna do too much at once, failing to follow through. = not a good trend to start. ACCC? for what? pointless. and i hope the Beamin’ Remix isn’t as bad as that Paris/Tokyo one with Q-Tip…smh.

  12. Tea-Stacks says:

    Wow, these are all of my new favorite rappers minus the Cool Kids, B.o.B’s album is really good, wasn’t feelin him (pause) til I heard the album. Lupe is top 5 in my mind, J-Cole is too nice, Charles is better than dudes think, Asher put out a quality album and Blu is nicer than most people’s favorite rapper. “Below the Heavens” by Blu & Exile is my joint, everyone check that out if you haven’t already.

  13. Burundian-Tutsi says:

    Yall are just blind.. Of course it’s Lupe’s idea .. Here is why: the reason why it’s called chess club- nerds: meaning smart enough to never join the illuminati shit, not dropping stupid flows such as “o let’s do it” , stanly legg b.s isht..nd just simply Smart enoug To think their own thots.. Bitcchhess .. Burundian in da buildin niggaaz

  15. UltraKid says:

    Are you stupid??? The Illuminati are you serious??? I bet you didn’t know that Jay-Z was the Executed producer of Lupe’s debut and Lupe is very Mainstream but you’re too dumb to realize that there is no Illuminati. How can somebody sell their Soul to Devil??? That’s not even possible. The All Chess Club is just a bunch of rappers that Lupe really likes so got them together that’s all just like he did with the CRS—You know the group with fellow devil worshipper Kanye West and Pharrell Williams…I swear people tend to forget that Lupe is Mainstream and that his first big appearance was on Kanye’s “Touch the Sky” and that Jay-Z got him where he’s at plus he had Kanye West, Jay-Z, and The Neptunes plus “Hip Hop Saved My Life” was inspired by the life of Mainstream rapper Slim Thug. Lupe Fiasco is not Underground and he will never be Underground—He’s just a really good rapper and he’s not bringing back the old school either because he’s even admitted to not really paying attention to A Tribe Called Quest infact I think was listening to Nas that got him into rap.

  16. Burundian-Tutsi says:

    @ultrakid : Nigga ! U forgot that he left the nigga jay-z ? yes he was the executive producer of “lupe fiasco’s food and liquor ” but that was back in 2006 and then he left the nigga ! why coz he wnted to put in in those mofuckin illuminati shit.. plus of course he wouldnt leave and tell the media and the rest that he quit rocafella bcoz dey worship da devil ! nahh he kept it as a secret until his last mixtape where he says ” jay gave me a co-sign lik i was rocawear but be clear im nt the air, im the water fire …. and plus the real God has been on my side since birth, i hope he forgives me i hope i do his work…. only God is great ,enemy of the state ( enemy of the state mixtape: popular demand song)…. ya diigggg! burundi in dis bitch

  17. Gear says:

    i hope its actually coming out,

    Can’t wait to hear Chuck on this

  18. […] He also mentioned that Asher killed his verse on the remix and the Blu is the only emcee that really scares him at the moment.  Interesting.  The audio of the interview is below.  by way of –  RR […]

  19. Had2DoIt says:

    who’s blu?

  20. Jason says:

    Replace Charles Hamilton with Wiz Khalifa or Jay Electronica

  21. Lupe be clappin dem cheeks cuzzz…mah boi be str8 trippin on 24 inches sittin real high up thur fur real. And dont get it twisted, imma be bodycheckin dem niggas into da mofuckin boards if they dun hate on mah nigga Lupizzlalfizzale and dats wuts up.

    And on tha real do’, Asha roth is jsut anotha crack ass white boi tryna front. say word son.

  22. Hip-hop Elitist says:

    @ Jason

    Jay Electronica is a win. He would be tight on it

    @ Laqueesha

    WTF were you trying to say? No honestly, I can’t comprehend half of that shit…you listen to Lupe and type like that cuz?

  23. jd20 says:

    @Jason.

    Wiz Khalifa would be dirty in there. but charles hamilton goes harder than almost any of the rappers on that list. He spits fire and is the one of if not the best freestylers of all time

  24. pat warren says:

    yooo. they need this new cat verbal phantom in his group.
    check him out on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXGj9Skkn8
    and verbalphantom.com too

  25. sivlE says:

    If u don’t know who Blu is, ur missing out badly.

    That nigga is niceeeeeeee….and if u say he’s wack, kill urself.

  26. jj says:

    Am I the only one who thinks Kid CuDi should be in this group?

  27. cnvrstn says:

    For anyone who thinks, Blu, should be cut outta this group, watch this – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP3_zKa7XXo

    Blu comes nicer than all aforementioned emcees, including J.Cole!

  28. FLiP says:

    this would be great just cut diggy. Blu J Cole and Lupe is already a great match.
