Rapper gives ‘shout–out’ to ‘Jeremy Clarkson’

It’s fair to say Jeremy’s not much of a hip-hop fan. So it’s rather a shame he’s not in the office at the moment and we can’t ask him what he thinks of the latest 45 by Lupe Fiasco.

The popular Chicago-based rapper – also owner of the ‘Righteous Kung Fu’ clothing line – has released a jauntily modern number titled Stereo Sun. It doesn’t feature a single guitar, and at 0:59 in the above video gives what is known as a ‘shout-out’ to our Jezza.

This isn’t, of course, the first time the world of Jeremy has been wedded to the world of hip-hop. There’s also this famous Jeremy Clarkson Beatbox, which now has had almost one million views:

But we do think this is the first time Top Gear has been featured on an actual chart-topping platter that matters. Unless you know different, TopGear.commers?

Awesome song. Has anyone heard ‘Rescue Me’ By Chiddy and You me at Six? It sounds very similar to that.

That has to be one of the worst songs I’ve heard in a while… It was so boring that the highlight of the song was when he said Jeremy Clarkson!!!

Though I have to be honest and admit that whenever someone calls out his name, I come… It’s totally orgasmic! xD

I’m no modern rap or hip-hop or R&B (same thing, the modern stuff that is) fan either. Like a Korean car, there’s no real soul or creativity in it at all. There are very few exceptions to that. And I’m only 17, not some old fart complaining about the glory days. I know where the real stuff is….like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Who, etc., etc.

Its obviously a stunt so he can get on topgear and drive the reasonably priced car!

To all the Lupe Fiasco haters, maybe the problem is that you dont understand 90% of what he says. Wht Lupe says you need to think about and find the meaning to it. He isn’t some “rapper” who just makes random music without meaning.

and what is the point of the song again..? and what reason must Jeremy Clarkson be mentioned?
a good beat to the song by the way, or whatever…

Report this comment

Don’t care too much for the singer but hey, it’s a shout out! I guess, good job Jeremy for entertaining him.

I put this song on Clarkson’s Facebook page about 3 weeks ago when I heard it on a US hiphop website, I wonder whether the Top Gear team got it from there?
