Lupe Fiasco is one interesting person. All of the musical geniuses are, aren’t they? Well, Lupe may have had a little help with his talent from an extraterrestrial visit as a child. According to the politically outspoken rapper, he has a mysterious scar on his ankle from what he describes as a  an “extra-worldly experience” in his hometown of Chicago when he was a kid. Check out what he told Power 106 in LA.

“When I was 11, I definitely had an extra-worldly experience,” he explained. “I got a scar on the bottom of my ankle, and I don’t know where it came from – I never had surgery there, I never remember falling there. I’ve done martial arts my whole life, it could be something from that…[but] I remember waking up and just being shocked, like I was surrounded by all this electricity. I was trying to call to wake my cousin up and roll out the bed and I couldn’t move, right? And then I was surrounded by this blue electricity, and then It stops and I look out the window and I see a black disc fly down in front of the window, sits there and then flies out.”

Okay, Lupe. Check out the video of the interview below.

(AllHipHop News) UK rapper K Koke opened up about his recent attempted murder trial, after he was accused of shooting a man at a Harlesden train station in March of 2011.

The rapper and four teenagers were charged with various charges, including attempted murder for the shooting, just after K Koke had inked a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.

After a month-long trial and 7 months on remand, K Koke was acquitted of all the charges levied against him.

“They had a picture of someone that wasn’t me,” K Koke said in an interview, stating that the police still targeted him for his lyrical content.

“After I came out of prison for the attempted murder thing, I moved out of the area and they [the police] came and found my house, gave me a beat down in the house, looking for firearms,” K Koke said, laughing.

Now that his legal troubles are behind him, the UK rapper, part of the Usual Suspects/USG Entertainment rap crew, is working on his Roc Nation debut and slowly making plans to come to America.

“Once I do well over here [the UK], but I can’t go over there [the United States] now,” K Koke said. “I haven’t accomplished what I need to accomplish over here it’s the beginning of my journey, and just walking it right now.”

Although Swizz Beatz is a good friend of Jay-Z, and his wife Alicia Keys is a recent collaborator with Jigga, Swizzy makes it clear that he’s riding with the original NY team, The New York Knicks! At a recent press junket at Madison Square Garden earlier this week, Swizz revealed to the fans that he produced the new New York Knicks theme song and also had a few words about the “new place” in town.

“Now, I know there’s a lot of things going on around town with a bunch of other new places, but there’s no place like the Garden. There’s no team like the New York Knicks…[and] this year, I sat down with the fellas, and they said it’s showtime. What time is it? It’s Knicks time…I want y’all to get used to that all year ‘c## they’re coming out harder, stronger, better, and they’re coming to rush the building.”

Did Swizzy just take a few shots at the Barclays Center? Take a look at the video below courtesy of Page 31.

Hip-Hop Rumors: T.I. "Doesn't See" Jeezy And Gucci Mane Beef

If Gucci thought T.I. was going to get involved in his beef with Jeezy, he’s dead wrong. The King of the South, who just participated in a “Cosby Show”-style photo shoot for In Touch, has decided not to publicly respond to Gucci’s tweet inviting him to get involved in the beef.

In a recent interview with Hot 107.9, T.I. practically refused to even acknowledge the beef going on between fellow Atlanta rappers, Gucci and Jeezy. The beef  between the two was reignited when Gucci released a diss record towards Jeezy last week.

Gucci even went after Jeezy’s ex-girlfriend Keyshia Cole on the track, and accused her of sleeping with Diddy as well as with him! Keyshia denied those claims on Twitter and had a few choice words for Gucci as well.

Anyway, T.I. was not trying to get dragged into the beef and instead, he said he was focused on “that sack” and becoming the next Jay-Z.

I got my mind set on a big sack with a lot of money in it,” T.I. said. “Anything not of that understanding and of that nature, I don’t really see it. So I don’t really know what you’re asking me about it. [He’s got a situation with him and Jeezy?] And I think you just ended it right there. You said it all. You know what I’m saying, I don’t know. A lot of times things happen in life and we never know why. The focus is what counts, man. I’m focused on that sack, champ. I’m focused on that sack. I’m trying to get myself right up there where Jay[-Z] and them are at.”

Do you think T.I. or any rapper for that matter can ever reach the heights of Jay-Z?
