Lupe Fiasco helped us celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday by dropping the Enemy of the State: A Love Story, which he had announced a few days prior via Twitter. The mixtape has Lupe going in over borrowed beats from the usual list of hip hop artists; Lil Wayne, Jay-z, Diddy, etc.  He also mixes it up by rapping over Radiohead's "The National Anthem," and Travis Porter's smash single, "Turnt Up."

Wyclef Jean, the multi-platinum musician, rapper, singer, song writer, actor, and record producer, released his first mixtape earlier this month.
