Lupe Fiasco - "Lasers"

[sdot23]

As I previously told you, S-Preme is at Lupe's
concert in Chicago right now, and after we found out
about Lupe's live CD/DVD set, some minutes ago,

Lupe just announced that his
"lupEND" album will be formed out of 3 discs !

He said:
"It ain't gonna be just one album,
it's gonna be 3 albums"

CRAZY !!! That's like at least 30 tracks, right ?

Update:

The 3 discs will be called :

Everywhere

Nowhere

Down Here

and together they'll form "lupEND".

Sounds like a cool concept !

The question that remains is, if it will be a package of 3 discs or if every disc will be released on it's own. Remember when Nelly released 2 albums at a time and together they formed "Sweat/Suit"? Maybe this will be a similar thing just with 3 CDs. I hope we'll get another update about that, soon.

LOL

[marcjm]

Looking forward to this!

[when the pawn...]

He can do no wrong IMO - will this be the last CD like it has been rumored? And when can we expect it?

[marcjm]

Is that not crazy that this is "supposedly" his last CD. I hope that is not true. I wish half these other rappers would retire after 3 CDs, but he needs to be in it for the long haul.

100% agreed!

Hopefully his retirement will be as legit as all the other rappers that have claimed to do so.

Lupe Fiasco Bowing Out With Triple-Disc Set?

Atlantic Records is declining comment on reports that rapper Lupe Fiasco will retire from music after releasing a triple disc album titled "LupEND."

Fiasco made the announcement during a Halloween show in Chicago, explaining that "END" stands for "everywhere," "nowhere" and "down here." No release date has been confirmed.

If true, the news shouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering Fiasco told Billboard as much last December. "'LupEND' -- that's going to be my last album's title," he said. "When you play a videogame, you can only put in three letters for your name and when the game's over, those three letters and 'END' pop up. My next record might be my last one."

The rapper's two albums, 2006's "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor" and last year's high-concept "The Cool," have proven him to be one of the most exciting artists in hip-hop. Sales of "The Cool" have raced by those of the debut 549,000 to 375,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Fiasco has a handful of dates on tap before the end of the year, including Wednesday (Nov. 12) in Los Angeles.

I read about that on P4K yesterday. Lupe is great, but a triple album? That's just begging for filler. How about three great albums over the course of three years instead?

[WouldYouJumpTheGDTrainAlready?]

does he have enough money to retire?

Good question. Either he's made some wise investments, has another career in mind, plans to live a very humble life, or is another Jay-zesque retiree.

[WouldYouJumpTheGDTrainAlready?]

Yeah, I was thinking that maybe he did some producing or something but I can't imagine he has enough money from his music to retire for the rest of the life.

Lupe Fiasco’s Retirement Plans Deferred

Retirement will have to wait for Lupe Fiasco. The “Superstar” rapper has taken to his blog saying that his once final album LupE.N.D. has been “canceled until further notice.” Instead, he’s planning to release three albums over the next year and a half.

“Due to circumstances beyond my control…the album roll out has changed radically…LUPE.N.D. has been postponed indefinitely!!! As a matter of fact consider it cancelled until further notice!!!” he wrote on Friday.

Lupe also revealed that his third album, The Great American Rap Album, will arrive in June. “See ya’ll in June and again in December and again next June. LupE.N.D. right after that…when the liberation comes!!!”

The rapper’s publicist has confirmed the news to Rap-Up.com.

LupE.N.D. was scheduled to be a three-disc set. There is speculation that Lupe owes his label Atlantic Records three or more albums before his contract expires.

“I just don’t really feel like rapping anymore,” he told Rap-Up.com back in September.

??? I just want music from him, LOL. No need to get conceptual or anything.

[busyboy]

LOL, as if it's going to actually happen. You can pull off such a tight release schedule if you have a rabid fanbase (Miley Cyrus, Jonas Bros.), or if you rely on hit singles like Plies. And even then, success is not guaranteed.

[when the pawn...]

As much as I love Lupe, why is he rushing 3 albums within a year? Still excited for a new album in June though!

[radname]

If he has three albums worth of material why not? It's still going to be better than most mainstream rap now a days

[Deleted]

I'd say it's all to build up hype and probably won't materialize. All the whining turns me off.

[shark cousteau]

well he said at big day out last month that "everywhere' will drop in june, and "nowhere" will drop in december.

[Deleted]

Lupe turns 27 today.

[sdot23]

He's calling the album We Are Lasers now, according to his Twitter. Hopefully it comes out this year.

[when the pawn...]

According to hits, We Are Lasers is set for release December 15th, basically when he released The Cool. What do you guys think of "Shining Down"? I love it, Matthew's hook is great and Lupe sounds really good on it. I'm hoping this can build upon LFTC. Best Rap Album 2011!

[when the pawn...]

I had heard 12/15 for a release date but there's been nothing!

He does have a bonus track on the new Twilight soundtrack though - it sounds awesome but it's album-only.

[marcjm]

I hope this will actually come out by year's end and there is a single.

[when the pawn...]

"Solar Midnight" from the New Moon Soundtrack is AWESOME! Sucks that it's album-only, like most of the album.

Weird that "Shining Down" was thrown out there in July when we haven't heard anything else.

[CammyCan]

I love "Solar Midnite". Any chance it'll be included on his album?

[sdot23]

Some new tracks he performed live:

"Beautiful Lasers" (album version different)


"Scream"


"State Crime Radio"

[internety]

release date .?
