Lupe Fiasco Releases Video For "Cripple (Ft. Elena Pinderhughes)"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, GRAMMY-Winning rapper Lupe Fiasco releases his official video for "Cripple (ft. Elena Pinderhughes)" — the song is off of Fiasco's most recent album DROGAS Wave, and it's the first video to be released from the album.

"DROGAS Wave is based on a story about a group of slaves that jumped off of a slave ship transporting them from Africa," Fiasco says of the album's concept, adding "The slaves did not drown, and instead somehow managed to live under the sea. They spent the rest of their underwater existence sinking slave ships. 'Drogas' is the Spanish word for drugs. I made it an acronym which stands for 'Don't Ruin Us God Said.'"
