Lupe Fiasco's Opinons on LASERS

It Seems Like Ol' Lupe is Unsatisfied with the project "LASERS" and He Spoke to The Chicago Sun About The Situation of His Unhappiness.

“I was specifically told” — Fiasco chuckled — “‘Don’t rap too deep on this record.’” He laughed some more. “That was a specific order from the top. ‘You’re rapping too fast or too slow, or it’s too complex.’ …



There are consequences and combat that comes from that process and the eventual compromise. With me, though, I’m not writing about someone else. I’m writing about me. This is my life. It’s very personal for me. So for somebody to kind of put their fingers in that and play with that, it becomes more damaging.”



“I am a hostage,” Fiasco said. “I gave them what they wanted. If I didn’t, at the end of the day the album wasn’t coming out.”

In an issued statement, however, Atlantic Records claims that they “fully support Lupe and the release of Lasers.”



During an interview with radio station Hot 97, Lupe revealed that he already has plans for his future – without a major label backing him:



“Hopefully I’ll be out of my traditional record deal, the record deal I’m in right now. Probably living in Africa somewhere, making rock music.



I would rather be independent, I would take that. Independent comes with its own set of consequences, so that takes preparation. There’s a lot of things you’re going to lose taking that route.”
