Kanye, Pharrell, and Lupe Fiasco plan supergroup

Kanye, Pharrell, and Lupe Fiasco plan supergroup

Kanye West has been on our minds lately. Then again, when you're one of the biggest MCs in the game and you put Daft Punk and Peter, Bjorn and John on your mixtape, it's hard for us to not pay attention.

The Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape also included a song from something called CRS (Child Rebel Soldiers), which features Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams doing their things over a Thom Yorke sample. Now, Lupe Fiasco is telling Billboard.com that he, Kanye and Williams are looking to do an entire album as CRS.

The word "supergroup" gets tossed around liberally sometimes, but wow. Just, wow. CRS has the potential to be the Cream of modern-day hip-hop. And the run up to Graduation gets more exciting by the day.
