Collaborating with Google on TextFX: AI Meets Lyricism

Lupe Fiasco was hand‐selected by Google to be the face of their groundbreaking AI tool, TextFX — an experimental platform designed to help lyricists, poets, and wordsmiths push the boundaries of language and creativity using machine learning.

Lupe helped shape how TextFX connects with the creative process, demonstrating how AI can become a powerful ally for artists (not a replacement). His lyrical brilliance and intellectual depth made him the ideal ambassador for this visionary AI project, once again proving that Lupe is always ahead of his time — at the forefront of music and machine convergence.

He has also delivered guest lectures at the University of Chicago, Harvard, and other top institutions, bridging the gap between urban music and elite academia.

This rare academic presence makes Lupe a singular figure: an artist who not only performs on the world stage but teaches, mentors, and inspires future generations from the podium.
