Video: Lupe Fiasco Speaks On Kicks, Books and Music

Lupe Fiasco is a pop star on the rise and we knew that his personality was big enough to contain both "Vans spokesperson" and "Occupy Poster Boy" comfortably--but did you know he had his won book club, too? This Q&A with High Snobiety--who caught Lupe on camera while behind the scenes at a Vans event in Berlin--goes deep on his taste in footwear, (Vans, duh), subversive literature and music, in that order. Surprisingly (or not) he talks about jazz, punk and reggae ("liberation rock" to him) a lot more than rap--but it's his taste in books which really provides the meat of the conversation. Watch and learn.
