Lupe Fiasco featuring Hayley Williams – Airplanes (Original)
By Petar Kujundzic / Tracks / April 7, 2011 / 7558 Views

It appears that Lupe Fiasco was more than just an inspiration for B.o.B. After the original version of "Nothing On You" appeared a few months ago, the first take on the Hayley Williams-powered "Airplanes" emerges onto the blogosphere. Although the ATL rapper created a special song out of this, the track would have been a nice addition to the Lasers tracklist. Thoughts?

    It probably would have fitted well on Lasers, going with the more 'pop' theme. I think this version is better than B.o.B.'s. Bobby Ray's was clearly set for a charts smash. Lupe makes this a more soulful and meaningful track, placing the focus on the message and the vibe, rather than for a catchy song for the consumers.

  • It’s that…

    The none released version of what LASERS was sure sounds like it was going to be a straight classic

    I def like this version a lot better. When I first heard that this was originally his song I knew it was prolly better than B.o.B.'s. I feels like Lasers.

    so both of B.O.B.'s biggest hits were supposed to be Lupe's...

    BOB had a whole lyrical story to his vision. Lupe just uses his wordplay, and tells a more complex(different perspective) story.

    ^ he didn't throw them away.

    they give to lupe, he raps over it, they don't like it.

    they give it to bob, he raps over it, they like it and release it.

    I like it to have a direct comparison between Eminem & Lupe, now! :-)

    you should smack yourself in your face for even saying anything that BOB does is lyrical. really. just smack yourself.
