Lupe Fiasco samples Thom Yorke
May 28 2007
The rapper with the most graphically designed album cover of all time releases a song which samples Thom Yorke’s title track “Eraser” and it works beautifully. Track features Kanye West and ubiqi-Pharrell and is apparently from a Kanye West mixtape.
For the record, Eraser has grown in stature for me from its initial underwhelming first listens. So I can finally say, nearly 10 months later that it’s fantastic and it should have made my top 20 list of 2007. Don’t forget that amazing Surgeon remix that was floating around before Christmas. I’m still waiting for the Modeselektor one though.

yeah, not bad. The Eraser is a great album. Makes for a non-skip listen
1What a great song…
2Good find, Niall. The understated rapping works well with the piano sound.
The Eraser is indeed a bleak beauty.
3I’m really truly in love with your blog
That mashup is the best I’ve heard all month!
4I never noticed the crazy artwork on Lupe’s album O_o
I don’t really like rap music, but I love this.
5The sample works wonderfully.
The Eraser is one of THE best albums of 2006. It took me a few listens, but it’s great listening.
I took me a few listens to get Eraser, at first I just thought it was missing the rest of Radiohead but soon after I grew to love the sound, one of my top 10 of last year.
6a yum reminder to listen to more Thom Yorke. I love ~The Clock alot too off Eraser.
7lupe fiasco is a genius. not many rappers would take the risk let alone pull it off so masterfully!
8Laura - Have you heard the surgeon remix of The Clock? It’s fuckin qualitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
