Coincidence?

Jackson's birthday, Feb. 17th, is shared by many famous people (as to be expected -- there are only so many days in the year!).  HOWEVER -- one such person that shares his birthday just happens to be Lupe Fiasco, who is one of my and Josh's favorite hip hop artists.  Jay-Z has recognized Lupe for his "non-obscene rapping style and describes him as a 'breath of fresh air' in a new hip hop world characterized by mainstream pop and glamour" (Wikipedia).  So he's a far cry from the grimy, flashy, gangsta or gutter rap that so many turn their noses up at (and which by no means defines the hip-hop industry as a whole).

Sharing a birthday ---- coincidence....or mere destiny? Haha. :)

Here's one of my favorite Lupe songs for your listening pleasure.
