Well, you can't accuse Lupe Fiasco of playing it safe this time. After dropping a succession of provocative songs, he's now extending his message in visual format. Gil Green ("I'm on One," "Lollipop") directed the video for "B*tch Bad." The video explores hip-hop's obsession with the b-word and the confusion that obsession creates.
Funny, the last time Lupe and Green teamed up was on "Out of My Head" video, off the widely derided Lasers. Green has directed his share of rap videos staring so-called bad b*tches. Now he's joined forces with Lupe to start a conversation on misogyny in rap. Not mad at that at all.
See the "B*tch Bad" video below.

Very good. Lupe has not failed to impress my high expectations of him thus far – September 25th can’t come quick enough!
Lu makes music worth listening to and that will still be worth listening to for many years to come is he isnt the G.O.A.T then he’s very close.
He earns his title as an ARTIST – what he makes is art, this cannot be said for the majority of people making money off hip-hop right now.
Yea… lupe’s not even close to GOAT status IMO.
Lupe is far from GOAT status. But by far the best thing he’s done in a while. I had lost all hope after LASERS
GOAT?
LUPE DONT MATCH GZA FLOWS OR 3K FLOWS,NOT MENTION WORDPLAY,AND I’MA BOUT 2 EXAMPLES,BUT LUPE IS GREAT!!!
okay maybe im getting a bit carried away with myself haha. This it is of course my very biased opinion, but you’re right there are / have been arguably greater rappers but I think lu deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as a lot of them and is overall at the pointy end of the list.
I just get so pissed off when i see the amount of utter trash that defines ‘hip-hop’ these days. maybe instead of GOAT I should have said FOAT – favourite of all time
I feel that. Kanye is the FOAT for me. I think GOAT is a tie between Jay and Big
Greatest of All-Time would be NAS…….. Lupe has 2 Great Album, 1 Bad Album, and his first Album was a Classic…… Give him time before giving that title.
It seems like the common GOAT nominees are always the same. It’s like no one’s allowed to suggest it’s someone besides Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, or Rakim… Of course they’re all great MCs, but I think they always get brought up because they are all middle of the road guys. Personally, I think Ghostface or 3K are better than all of those dudes…
