Video: Lupe Fiasco [ft. Nikki Jean]: "Hip Hop Saved My Life"
Lupe Fiasco's sharply-observed tale of a young rapper and his motivations is given a video that follows the narrative to the word. The action takes place in Houston's Fifth Ward; watch for cameos from area luminaries like Bun B, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, and Willie D. Dr. Teeth (not that one, this one) directs. (via Subterranean)
