Lupe Fiasco won’t let Atlantic Records fuck up any of his future Projects
Seth Colter Walls of The Daily Beast spent some time with Lupe last month. Lupe spoke with him about his current album and future projects. Here’s an excerpt of the article:
While sitting in the 27th-floor lounge of his corporate parent during the month before Lasers’ release, Fiasco told The Daily Beast that he initially felt he was “creating new music” with his first draft. Then came the pressure from his label to take a pop turn.
“That’s what the record label made me do,” Fiasco said. “I asked ‘What album do you want at this point? You’re shitting on my creative [process] and what have you.’ … And they said, ‘We want Top 40. We want No. 1 smashes.’ …
So the focus for everybody, from A&R [people] down to the writers that I write with, went to: ‘Let’s get these smashes, write these big-ass hooks and get these big humongous beats.’”
… “They don’t have a choice on the next one,” Fiasco told The Daily Beast later that night, back up on the 27th floor of his record company’s office.
“The way I’m putting it out now is: What some of you guys sent me through, you’ll never have a say-so on a project of mine ever again. That conversation between us is done. You’re not even allowed to tell me what to do at all.”

This is Cornel West’s sock puppet without any eyebrows. Cornel got his hand straight up his kermit the frog behind. Irrelevant music for irrelevant people. It isn’t that Atlantic is going to fuck his shit up. It’s that they don’t want him. He saving face. Who cares though. He listens to NWA and tries to be some sort of Islamic gangster “rapper”. All you gotta do is take what he says and thread it all together. You’ll see how this dude flip flops around. Wack ass lasers.
