Lupe Fiasco New Album.... saddens me that Lupe Fiasco's new album is so mediocre. His last 2 albums where Amazing, the guy has great lyrics and personality. I know he said the record company really played to much a part in this album, And ruined a lot of it and it can see it, good lyrics but the beats. The techno bull crap on it. I can see this is not what he wanted, he's a very talented guy. And i still have look for him in the future.
But the song's the lyrics are saying stand up for yourself, fight racism and poverty. But the sound is like Teenage Dream or Oops I Did it Again Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Damn that's sad. I think Lupe's cool. Is he still on Atlantic Records? These execs need to be shot.... | |

Lupe Fiasco on Lasers, Lame Rap, and His Battles With the Music IndustryIn October 2010, nearly 200 Lupe Fiasco fans stood outside the New York offices of Atlantic Records to protest the delay of Fiasco’s third studio album. Fiasco and Warner Music Group CEO Lyor Cohen came out carrying a boom box and gave the crowd a listen to what they’d been waiting for: Lasers. The album has since leaked online to some negative reviews, but on March 8, those rallying fans can finally take a legal listen and decide for themselves what they think of Fiasco’s latest. We spoke with the artist about ho-hum hip-hop (Justin Bieber included), his beef with President Obama, and his tumultuous relationship with the industry.
So what was the reason for the Lasers hold up?
Were you expecting more freedom because of the success of The Cool?
What are you hoping will happen with Lasers?
How has the fan support for Lasers made you feel?
Did it play a big part in Atlantic finally releasing the album?
Why didn’t you want “The Show Goes On” to be the first single?
How are things between you and the label now?
Your previous albums tell a story or are structured around a character. Why don’t you speak more from a personal basis?
You’ve said there’s a lack of creativity in hip-hop. What’s the problem?

Hey Gun - Which label do you think would make a good fit for him or do you think he's better suited for the indie route? | |

You know that's a good question my friend, i mean the thing is his last 2 albums on his label where fantastic! i don't understand why they can't just work well together and let him do his won thing you know?
But i think independent might be best for him......... if this doesn't work out Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

It's a shame that some people don't like it very much. Fans went crazy when the album wasn't going to come out and a protest was even planned. Now when it's out it's not what fans expected. That's too bad.
On another note, the song Beautiful Lasers shares the same beat as Bone Thugs N Harmony's song "Rebirth". Both were recorded around the same time I think (sometime in the first half of 2009). | |

Yeah i heard about that, it's good he has dedicated fans but idk if protest was really needed to be honest. That song is one of the only one's on the album i really like to Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
