Who favorited?Lupe Fiasco Speaks On New Mixtape
by on November 23rd, 2009
“The last six months, it’s been like, ‘I gotta really, really go out there and show that I’m nicer than all of them,’ ” Lupe said. “It’s like, ‘All right, so be it. If it takes three more albums to do it, then so be it.’ That’s what I got left with Atlantic. Three more after Lasers. I’m already done with two. The mixtape is coming Thanksgiving. It’ll be another mixtape after that and an album after that. It’s really to get that status and lock it in and [and have people] be like, ‘Look at this positive dude, the underdog. The positive one who came and murdered all these dudes. And he’s there, and he’s good.”
Lupe said he isn’t concerned about what he has to do — he’s going to prove he’s the best.
“I’m finnin’ to house every single mode and arena I can get into,” Fiasco promised. “If y’all had somewhere where it’s live performances, I’m finnin to have the best live performances. If it’s mixtapes, I’m finnin’ to have the best mixtapes. If it’s albums again, it’s gonna be the best verse. If it’s the best dressed, I’m going hard as well.”
Lupe said the yet-untitled mixtape will be him going in over other MCs’ beats. “I got four days to figure it out,” he said about the title. “I’ve been dabbling with some names. I don’t know yet.”
Concerning the production, Lupe said he’s not going to let any original production go.
“Why waste it?” he said. “I still got my plan. I’m not finnin’ to diverge off my plan and my career and how I wanna roll my music out.”

Shits gonna be hot, better believe that.
" i keep the computers computin’ ,
flip it, boobitty, bootin.." – 50 cent
Lmao.
i know some yall jus threw a temper tantrum
but hey its just the truth……. anybody that truly loves hip hop agrees wit me
faggot ass nigga.
And Lasers is going to be fxcking CRAZY !
Dude is a beast tho and has every right to brag tho.
btw, can we stop comparing every rapper to Wayne??? i mean its annoying . i i kno ppl think hes the best and hell i know those ppl are wrong lol but comeon. tired of everybody using him a something to compare to.
Dude is not trash at all but when comparing ppl use they weight class thats like comparing Max B and Mos Def. two completely different levels of rap.
it just doesn’t make sense to me.,
Where was Lupe’s name in MTV’s 10 hottest MCs?? Exactly.
UPDATE:
(as of today, on beatsandbombs.com)
As we’re approaching the release date for this tape, some more news dropped via Facebook and MTV Mixtape Daily. The mixtape finally has a name: Enemy Of The State: A Love Story. According to MTV Mixtape Daily, Lupe wants to prove he’s the best by any means necessary, therefore he’ll be dropping yet another new mixtape in the future and more albums after Lasers, which is welcoming news coming from the guy who cried “early retirement” not too long ago. Enemy Of The State will have no original beats and when asked as to why this is so, Lupe responded that he didn’t want to waste original production. I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again: Lupe Fiasco is one of the most talented rappers to have ever graced hip-hop, and so you can assume this is, as Clipse would say, kinda like a big deal.
It’s a stretch,……………. but thats what i’de hope for.
Em, 50, Ja, and Jay Z cant even get that. What makes you think Little Lupe can?
The only album that stands a chance in getting more than a mil in first week is…………………….no not ja rule……………..no not relapse 2……………………but none other than DETOX! its the only album that has the last chance to snatch Weezy’s title of “last milli album”
True art should never have to deteriorate itself for others,
about the Detox going a mill comment., i honestly doubt that yo.
all these push back. niggas gonna download the hell outta that when it’s made. or hell by the time it finally comes out the worlds population will be so high a mil won’t be as much as it sounds now lol.
It’s about time people open their eyes to a REAL Hip-Hop ARTIST .
