Lupe Fiasco Blog

Welcome to Australia....Sound Safari, Melbourne: Lasers Live......MUST GO!! Currently busting my guts to get to the show Friday, but alas, funds are so low :( MUST GO! MUST SEE THE LASERS SHOW JUST SO I CAN HEAR LUPE'S FLO!!!
Sorry for the caps, but as a Lupe fan, I'm sure you'll underdstand the desperation and enthusiasm expressed above :)

all i know is lupe is one of my top mcees he never fails to impress me i listen to his music anyway i can get it cuz no matter what i cop not one but two of evey one of his cds one to use and one to save in my collection cuz thats how you are supposed to do it when it comes to real rappers the ones who can really feel it

Lupe Fiasco-What U Want .........is a very nice song didnt want to hear it this way..but hey i couldnt resist and no this does not sound like somethin Kid Cudi would write ...Kudi be on the High life Buzz ish...Lupe just makes straight forward music he would tell you an story no matter how he spits

I know we're all fans of Lupe's and we want to hear his music, whether it be an unreleased track, a "leaked" track, or anything else we've heard before. But the one thing we should avoid is feeding into the "leaked track" phenomenon that seems to interest us so much (myself included).
But lets chill, we should wait, the anticipation for the album is sure to pay off greatly. I mean, has Lu disappointed us thus far? Exactly!

I haven't personally listened to "What U Want", but if its anything like "I'm Beamin" or "Shining Down"
it'll be great. Besides, and I'm sure yall would agree with me, I wouldn't want one of my favorite artists frustrate themselves over containing a track leak that is out of hand, and a repetition of past events (F&L).

One more thing, comparing Lu to Cudi AINT COOL! They're both talented beyond belief in their own respect and have a legion of fans because of that. We should appreciate that Lupe is diversifying his music portfolio, and not berate for trying something new.

A Jay-Z line comes to mind as I write this: "N****s want my old shit, Buy my old album"
I dont know if thats what Lu is thinking right about now, but it damn sure is appropriate :P

Peace

I'm no journalist or anything but im probably gonna wait till i get the album before reviewing it...call me crazy.

Lupe is 2 for 2 so far and the snippets i have heard are leading me to believe hes gonna be 3 for 3.

Dunno bout this retirement bullshit though...Lets say i sign a contract...then "Retire" for a substantial amount of time...then comeback...would i be held to the same contract or would i be a free agent as long as i fulfill the requirements of "Retirement"?

I thought that was what Game was trying to do to break outta those g-unit shackles and that raping-you records contract he signed but i guess it didnt work?....or maybe he did it wrong considering hes dumb as fuck?

Either way i cant figure it out... Lu's in his prime and in his 20's..he steps away to become a garbage man for a few years hes gonna eventually come back but whether or not hell still be in form is the question...maybe Ma$e knows.

The problem is your not only the one of the last artist representing real hip-hop but you the best on the scene. Ppl have been waiting for years for this album and now that its almost here ppl dont know how to handle it. Leaks or no leaks L.A.S.E.R.S.= ALBUM OF THE YEAR just my prediction

I just want to say that i think it's shit you're coming to australia and not coming to Brisbane...And your going to Adelaide? sorry man, I LOVE your music and i saw you at BDO 2009 and it was amazing, just wish you would come back

Sounds pretty lame so far, whatever step of production it's in. I doubt even with a lot of revamping you could make it a dope track. Then again, that seems to be the theme with every track I've heard released off Lasers so far.

Friend of the people?

PLLLLLLZZZZZ LUPE WATEVER U DO PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ COME TO THE UK AFTER LASERS PLS COME TO THE UK- ENGLAND Manchester

Man I love Lupe man, the dude is dope!
But sh1t man, I'm not feeling these Kid Cudi-like tracks man.
I like the meaning behind the songs but i'm beaming and what you want won't make me want to buy the album.

If I want to buy a Kid Cudi album i'll buy a Kid Cudi album. So far Lasers is not sounding like a Lupe album at all and i'm not too happy about that.

Yo Lupe, you said you didn't want to make Enemy of the State too dope cuz it's not an album.
Well what the hell... your friggin album don't even sound like an album.

And i'm not even hating, I just want my Lupe Crack!

i Know that only 2 or 3 tracks only leaked so far and I don't want to generalize but it seems that based on what we see as far as Laser's creative direction goes this is a Kid Cudi album.

Lupe is trying to expand and I respect that, but not if he no longer cares about his core audience.
Lupe should be happy that he's getting honest opinions about his work in progress.

It's cool though, if Lasers ends up being a Kid Cudi album i'll still have his old material to listen to I guess, so it's cool. But I am fairly positive now that I will be majorly disspointed in Lasers.

HONESTLY ITS NOT LU FAULT IT GOT LEAKED ITS JUST TECHNOLOGY HAS UPGRADED SO EFFIN MUCH IT HAD TO KEEP ANYTHING PRIVATE NOW DAY....THE TRUTH IS IF A LEAKER WANTS TO EXPOSE AN ARTIST MY GOD HE/SHE IS THERE THE INVISIBLE PAPARAZZI ....WERE ACTUALLY BLIND TO SEE THEM WHEN THERE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU....

which date is the release of the album? especially here in germany? does anyone knows something about that??

Sucks that the track leaked, but there is no doubt Lasers going platinum in its first week no matter what...I dig the minimal sound of "What You Want" thou...sounds like Cudi could feature on it. CANT WAIT FOR LASERS!!!!
