Lupe Fiasco – Blackout
I remember when / I was so not / It was no locks
Man I couldn’t ball / I was so bald / RoboCop
I was Mr. Clean / Now I’m Mr. T / But a different team.
While not one of Lupe’s better known tracks, this hidden gem appeared on certain versions of his second studio album ‘The Cool’ The chi-town rapper’s lyrics reference Alex Murphy’s chrome dome beneath the shiny, armored exterior of OCP’s Crime Prevention Unit. Those that seen the sequel will reminisce to that introspective moment in RoboCop 2 when he ponders the eternal plight of cyborgs everywhere, “Am I man or machine?”
