I'm not 100% sure if this is going to be a side project, or if this is just a one off experiment, but Lupe (or rather, Percival Fats) is now fronting a rock band he is calling Japanese Cartoon, and is singing in a British accent.
Lu has been speaking in code lately on Twitter (with the exception of giving me my new moniker "Leaky") about his latest recordings, so maybe this is what he was hinting at. Check it out for yourself.
Japanese Cartoon - "Heirplanes"
Japanese Cartoon - "Army"
In other Lupe news, he also recently announced his first single from Everywhere will be "Shining Down" and he also has a DVD dropping in March. Hey Lu, can I leak that one too?
Thanks to Smoke and Sean

w.w...this to me is sxtra....very gorillaz-ish......uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
?
he doesn't actually sound british... major affectations here - but i can get with the sound they're going for.
I hope this isn't going to be anything like Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines or Hannah Montana vs. Miley Cyrus.
Dont forget Beyonce and Sasha Fierce...or maybe not.
But at any rate I think it sounds very good....creativity has no bounds. Do you Lu.
Speaking of new stuff
I just saw the biggie movie "Notorious" dropping officially on the 16th! Amazing
Check out 'Prodigy'

Am I the only one who thinks this is the biggest piece of shit thats ever been made? His british accent fails miserably and if Lu is trying to go for some sort of unique sound then let me tell you Lu, stick to the bread and butter. You're not Kanye.
i dont know if im feeling this...

this is at least wayyyy better than lil wayne singing...when lil wayne started singing and the cool dropped lupe fiasco became my favorite rapper
Cheers, Percival Fats
according to their myspace, thats not lupe singing?
I got the 3rd track 'Shinobi Must Die' on my page...Thanks for the rip FSD!

i'm feeling these joints.
everybody's branching out now, tryna do things they dont usually do...and i'm down with that. isn't that what art is all about anyway? stepping outside of your comfort zone...keep it coming.
lupe already said its not him but it sounds like him
chicago is the city of art expansion!!
Chicago will be the next music Mecca, mark these words!
It sounds JUST like him, if it is not, but if it is, my ONLY beef would be the deliberate bite of Andre 3000's name, Percival Jenkins. That's been his name since STANKONIA, so anyone outside of him, using that name (unless, it is their birth given) is on the biting side of things...
musically i like this, but the only problem i have with this is that most brits don't sing with an accent, and so for lupe to sing with a british accent is kind of kitschy
wtf? i'm gone for a week and come back to this??? not going to lie though doesn't sound too bad. props to you lu
What the flyin' fuck is this shit?
How fake is this, singing in your fake as fuck put on, and may i add utter shite brittish accent. what the fuck happened to "keeping it real" ?

======================
Mufuckas been saying that shit for the last 10 years....until somebody with power decides to base themselves here, Chicago will continue to be the mecca for talent down the drain.....Common in LA shooting movies....Kanye talkin bout moving to London for fashion....Berg stay in LA....R. Kelly in the 15 years he been on aint done shit to help a Chicago movement....wishful thinking does nothing but keep the dream alive.....cant knock them cats for going elsewhere to pursue they careers but somebody gotta comeback and help establish an industry on the movie & entertainment side.
dammit, this is the second time this year that someone has straight bitten the first song i ever wrote when i was 12 years old. Id only been playing guitar for a month when I wrote this. Step yalls game up!
Srry boyz, it's not Lupe ...

Japanese Cartoon’s myspace page has been hacked.
Percival Fats (Born Percival Hindenburg-Fats) Is NOT Lupe Fiasco (Born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco). Although he is a dear friend.
Japanese Cartoon will reload songs onto the player as soon as we figure out how via the technical support fellows at Myspace.
Please DO NOT disseminate their music ILLEGALLY.
These guys have worked very hard and placed a large amount of energy and financial dedication into this project.
Lupe does finance the band but is NOT I REPEAT NOT THE SINGER IN JAPANESE CARTOON. He is however the producer and we value his participation very much.
We will not be taking any friend requests until this security matter is cleared up as we might not be able to keep this page.
-Percival Fats. Friend Of Millions, Foe Of Hacker Punks.

Ow and if you are not British, dont sing British. But thats just my opinion
see how bogus this blog is? got ur panties in a bunch for nothing....lol
If you believe that press release then you have a rodent sized brain. I swear some of you are just retarded human beings.
WTF is this bullshit?...i hope it's not Lupe.
lol how dumb does the ANON at 5:13 a.m. on Jan. 5th. he said that this is a bull shit accent and then it turns out to be a real accent. haha real smooth man... real fucking smooth
i remember when rappers were rappers. not singers.
"well, kanye, weezey, lupe are branching out. stretching their creativity! they're being artists!!!"
sure, but if everyone branches out to the same thing... then it's not being creative but more of the same.
i love lupe. i love punk music. i actually kind of dig japanese cartoon.
i just dont feel like this is a creative movement, but more corporate selling out of the same thing.
but i'll still listen to it.
percival fats sounds EXACTLY like lupe!
percival is not lupe just as much as batman is not bruce wayne.
i agree. kayne, lupe, and lil wayne are "being so creative" by doing what andre 3000 did a couple of years ago.... when it WASN'T the "thing to do"
stfu with 'british'
he clearly doesnt sound scottish welsh or northern irish.
therefore his accent is ENGLISH. AS IN ENGLAND. NOT THE LANGUAGE YOU RAPED.
brilliant. American rapper turned british rocker, incredible. Please be true.
this is ill, yall just dont hear it yet
just wait til this ilk is remixed...
>_>
this is one of smokeyyyy's funny ideas to give bands he knows props. I'm surprised so many people posted about it this time.
I'm from London and the accent is embarrassingly shit. SHIT. It's what cool runnings was to a Jamaican accent. Can't even take the project seriously with the shit accent!!! This dude had the cheek to speak ill of the Tribe! Peep Q-Tips The Renaissance for some good music and bypass this fuckery.
LONG LIVE HIP HOP!!! Fuck all that bullshit and FUCKERY like my mans above said and this is coming from a dude that have Lupe as his #1 Emcee/Artist but now I'm leaning toward WALE. (Well until he get on that Jimmy Hendrix shit)
