Lupe Fiasco, the Windy City’s resident Food and Liquor lyricist is lending his wisdom to a new tell-all documentary. The documentary titled “The People Speak” will not follow the life of Lupe however, instead it will focus on people in history who spoke out for social change. Lupe contributes to the production by reading a piece written by Heavyweight boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
Lupe spoke out on the final production to the Chicago Tribune saying that it felt “secretive.”
You feel like you’re doing something that you’re not supposed to be doing because it didn’t come from a traditional textbook, you feel like you’re doing something secretive. That adds to the cool factor. To get that history, and get it delivered like ‘Oh my God, that was Viggo Mortensen‘ — it inspires you,”
DMC, Don Cheadle, John Legend and Rosario Dawson will also be featured on ‘The People Speak.’ The documentary will debut tonight, December 13, on the History Channel.
