In these parts, Lupe Fiasco is still better known as Kanye West’s sidekick in the Touch The Sky video.

All that could be about to change though, when Mr Fiasco releases Superstar, an amazingly slick R&B groove about every rapper’s favourite subject: the high life.

Like Kanye, Lupe can throw out some interesting lyrics, and has a similar rapping style to Mr West too. So what am I saying? Slightly derivative, but like Kanye, Lupe is part of that movement which is taking rap away from the image of horny, stoned gangstas and giving the audience intelligent lyrics dressed up in some very chart friendly beats.

Lupe is joined on the chorus by a guy called Matthew Santos, who sounds for all the world like Bono. But that’s a good thing, right?

Anyway, check out some of the lyrics:

So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are thrown
M&M’s are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don’t flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister

And here’s the video, complete with red carpets, limos and big ass sunglasses:

Superstar is from Lupe’s second album, The Cool.
