This year, Grammy nominated artist Lupe Fiasco will be releasing his sophomore LP, titled “The Cool” sometime in October. He spoke with Billboard.com about it, and updated everyone with what he’s been doing lately.
Lupe has also made mention of perhaps getting Pink Floyd to feature on the album, saying “Nothing has developed yet. But once the stew gets swirling and people start talking, you never know. I hope it does work out.” In between performing at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle, Lupe says he will be recording the album.
Not only is he working on the album, but he’s also collaborating with other artists such as Japans “Big O”, and he recently did a remix of Musiq Soulchild’s hit single “Buddy”. Also, there’s a big project rumored to be in progress with a certain superstar “rapper/producer”, but Lupe was tight-lipped about those details. In other news,
Rapper 50 Cent is planning to sell his Farmington, Connecticut estate for an undisclosed price, as reported by RadarOnline.com. The house, which he purchased from boxer Mike Tyson’s ex wife for $4.1 Million dollars sports 52 bedrooms, a recording studio, 5 Jacuzzis, indoor/outdoor pools, a handball court, two billiard rooms, a casino, an indoor shooting range, a screening room, and a full disco with a wall of 20 Televisions .
Tyson bought the house originally for 2.7 Million dollars in 1996, but his wife was given the house in their divorce settlement.

1st again to t-bag ya momma!
LUPE MADE A CLASSIC...BRING THAT HIP HOP AGAIN!!! THATS WHATS UP! Stay consistant and fuck record sales!
it goood to see lupe coming back out
Food and Liquor was amazing but it was not a classic, the original one that got leaked could have been a classic but they fucked around and changed the album up. I say they should have just released it as is an forgot about loss in record sales cuz that first album was much better.
^^^^^ wat was the difference in the 2? different trax or wat?- Food and Liquor was nice but it aint no classic, but ill still check out his new shit- as for 50, that dudes house got all kinds of shit- I wonder how much he'll get for that shit....
damn 50's crib hooked the fuck up...I would never leave that shit if I lived there
50 how you liven you live in Tyson hanme down lol It must have goten to him.
I love the Food and Liquor album, I can't wait for The Cool. Ow Yeah.. 50's house is banging I saw it on MTV when he had a houseparty. He's def gonna get more than what he paid for it.

LUPE FIASCO IS NOT TOP 50 RAPPERS. HE NEEDS TO STOP DOING WHATEVER DRUGS HE BE FUCKIN WIT AND JUST DO THE "FOOD AND LIQOUR" SHIT LIKE HE ADVERTISED.

Lupes last album was hot, can't wait for the next one..... 50 should keep the house, it has 50 bedrooms:)
Lupe's album is going to be nice.. I hope he has Kanye produce a lot of the tracks, him and Lupe go well together.
And damn, 52 bedrooms?.. I wonder how much he'll sell it for.
HIS HOME IS WORTH MORE THAN 4.7 MILLY..............AND LUPE IS GONNA GO DOWN A LEGEND.....DON'T SLEEP ON HIM.........KID IS LYRICALL.
This might be Lupe's last album if his fans don't go out and purchase this one...
LUPE FIASCO IS NOT TOP 50 RAPPERS. HE NEEDS TO STOP DOING WHATEVER DRUGS HE BE FUCKIN WIT AND JUST DO THE "FOOD AND LIQOUR" SHIT LIKE HE ADVERTISED.
^^ That was the most dickheaded shit ive ever heard. Youre worst then a Stan, youre a Hater. I know people that dont like artists but they give the artist respect. Lupe is a CRAZY Lyricist.
I got respect for Lupe, he does his thang, he ain't callin out nobody, none of his records are hateful, so it's all gravy train. It's just not my style of music.
And 50's crib is dope, why the fuck would you leave that shit?
FUCK G-UNIT

id sell dat bitch 4 twice as much i payed n it 4 real$$
lupe is a serious! That dude behind T.I. nas had a top 5 cd of 2006! Man u cant be serious if u disagree with Food and Liquor not being a classic album! MAN! I still play that everyday!
Yeah Lupe definitely doesn't have the fan support...
Oh yeah... he's definitey NOT the only lyricist that moves me... In fact he really doesn't move me at all lyrically. I mean he definitely has that "Vintage" hip hop sounds and feel... But I don't get moved or have to rewind shit. It's just a "good" listen.
I still listen to a lot of "slept-on" Philly rappers like: Cassidy, Cyssero, Reed and Gillie. But to each blah blah blah.
I'm definitely gonna copp the "booty" version or download his new shit. If it's worth it I'll buy it....if not....then oh well...same for 50's!
