Lupe Fiasco's "Superstar"

Was this song used in a commercial or is the hook from something else? I thought I was hearing it for the first time but the hook immediately sounded familiar but I can’t place where I know it or the voice from.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

Robbie Williams is singing the hook. It does sound a lot like the Kanye West song from 'Graudation' with Chris Martin (Coldplay) on the hook. HBO uses the Kanye joint for its line-up promos.

Thank you! I thought it was Chris but something was a little different in the voice.

no problem smile I kinda like the song(superstar), but after the 1st verse I lose interest in it.

It’s not bad. I think I like the hook more than anything.

oops. I guess I stand corrected. Caught the video the other day and I swear it was credited to Lupe Fiasco and Robbie Williams. **hires a factchecker** duh lol
