It's lightweight dirty, I understand how important the climb is, but I was really pumped for this mixtape. This single off lasers better drop like within the first two weeks of January or i'm ganna be real salty. I talk Lupe up so much to my friends that are on Wayne's dick and then Lupe doesn't drop anything. It's lightweight dirty that's all.
So if he doesn't drop the single soon, what are ya'll going to do? nothing! patience niggas...it's not like he didnt say he wasn't dropping the album anymore. Clearly the man has had a pretty busy year.
And Lupe did all Enemy of the State in like a day or two. To even drop a mixtape is great since he said he wasn't going to do anymore after his last one.
at least he let us know... in the old days we would wait until 25th.. and nothing would happen... then we would wait 2 more weeks... until we understood it was never gonna be released :D
@datkid: the nigga knew he was gonna be climbing a fucking mountain so why the fuck would he get us hype taking bout "yea i plan to go in this time" and all he did was drop a half assed mixtape. Yall dick heads could stand there and let lupe jerk yall around but imma say something about it. Lupes not dumb. what ever happened to "yea i been the studio all day recording" what happened to the nigga "sudden inspiration" Lupe be pulling shit like this all the time b, thats why i don't be believing him fully when he be saying shit.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't the first time he's delayed a project. When people tell me they're going to do something I expect them to keep their word or else I'm gonna be pissed. I understand the Anons' dickiness.
That said, training is more important. You know, human life is more important. As far as I'm concerned, he's not like Tupac or Biggie(dead rappers that keep spitting hot fiah long after they died...)
yall cant lie anon is right man lupe is raw but he dont release nothin for two years then release a 20 min mixtape and then say he makin another one on christmas and all these tweets sayin he in the studio workin on this and that how he workin on his next album already but cant do his mixtape
Alright and like i said if you know you climbing a mountain why would you get ya fans hyped up for some new music? Thats makes no sense he should"ve been training for the longest if the climb was that important. Its not what i'm losing its what hes losing. I want lupe to get his shine,more shine than Wayne but thats gonna be hard to get when you can't keep your schedule on track and release some music.
Like datkid said ya'll niggas haven't paid for nothing!!
be lucky he released a mixtape during Thanksgiving!
He has 19 days before he climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro! What have YOU been doign with YOUR life besides bitching about some mixtape? He released a 20min mixtape that is better than just about enything that's come out this year IMO...and he did it in a day!
I mean i'm hurt that the tape isn't dropping, but i'm not going to stop supporting the man and say he's "jerking" me around. Stop your bitching and crying.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you guys dont understand.. i was counting down the days for this mix tape on my calendar. i never get anything good for christmas, i was looking forward to a good mixtape.
Some of you are really crying right now. Everyone makes valid points, but to call someone a "dick" or an "asshole" because they cancelled a mixtape? You didn't even know about the mixtape until three weeks ago.. and Lupe has been working hard. I mean really, he's working on the album AFTER Lasers.. respect. And some of you are acting like he hasn't been doing anything since the Cool.. do you realize that he JUST ended a two year international tour? I mean, damn, I'm disappointed too, but he's about to climb a mountain and then go even harder than he did with the Cool... it has got to be taking a toll on him. I'm wishing for the best.
aint nobody said they was going to stop supporting the nigga just that its fucked up he promised a mixtape on christmas and canceled it damn if he could do eots in a day y he couldnt do fotp instead of workin on a album that aint comin out till after lasers
I love Lupe Fiasco to death. His music brings calmness to me. I just can't ignore the fact that he did say Lasers would drop Fall, then Winter, then January. Same thing with Army Girl coming out "4th Quarter". I remember actually questioning everyone in a comment on a later entry on this blog asking do you guys ACTUALLY think Army Girl would drop "4th Quarter" and the album in Winter. He went in to correct/answer to confirm, "YES, Army Girl will drop 4th quarter and Lasers will be out Winter". Similar story with "Shining Down", it had to get leaked. GOD only knows when we would have seen that track if it didn't leak. It sucks when he does that because people really anticipate his music, then when it's grind time-there's nothing to show for it but a push back or...NOTHING. So how am I supposed to feel when early 2010 comes? 2009 didn't work, "4th Quarter" didn't work. Yea I get angry, and I highly doubt Lupe would understand our end of the situation. People need his music as well as society.
Nevertheless, Lupe train well, train hard, may Allah/GOD be with you on your climb of M.K. I'll be waiting when you come back down bro.
It was expected, i knew something like this was gonna happen. Just wish he wouldnt say anything if he wasnt sure. Just build hypes then let downs for his fans.
umm... anyway yeahh Lupe Stole Christmas and i will now get a pair of socks again for Christmas with nothing to listen to because Lu didnt come through
Watch LASERS even get pushed back to the Summer of 2010
And yes, we do pay. we buy his albums, pay for his concert tickets, his clothes. We support his music. As fans its aggravating to be given dates and promises and having them renigged.
It was May, summer, fall, winter, january, 2010.....shinning down took ages....army girl was 4th quarter...i'm a fan....but come on.....People who commented in here just responded to the way "anonymous" delivered his message. Unsung hero calmed it down and made it reasonable.
Lupe can you at least make up for your blunder by giving us some info on what will be on the album, who will be on it, and/or anything about the single?
ANYTHING! My ears feel naked and they need to be clothed by the beautiful vibrations of your music.
sigh* this is a disappointment, I was expecting the mixtape to release..I listen to lupe's songs to get through a stressful day..hopefully FOTP will be an addition..but it is completely understandable... in 2010 lupe will right is wrongs...and blow our minds with LASERS...GL with your climb
Also if you have issues with things being pushed backed all the time send a letter to:
Atlantic Records 1290 Avenue Of The Americas NY, NY
It aint all me folks...I got bosses just like the employed among you have bosses...
Albums are done...records are sitting...when they are ready to put them out...then they'll be out...same story for every artist signed to major label...
I fight the fights that I can but if you guys feel like you can do better then by all means...the address is above...
Lupe shouldn't even comment, it's blowing me that he is because he doesn't have to answer to none of us. That's why have of you all need to shut the hell up. It's a part that Artist/Major Record Labels wont understand as well as fans wont. Keep going back forth with this shit, to me you guys are just sitting here twiddling his thumbs.
And on the real, I'm scared for Lupe's life lol. This is 19,000+ feet. This isn't a hike through a rainforest or Himalayas. People should analyze what in the actual hell he's doing.
I agree with An Unsung Hero...and I bet people are even more heated by what Lupe just said. Get over it...it's a mixtape! I know...this stuff has happened before, but come on...if you have a problem, don't comment anonymously on a fan blog about it. we should be lucky he put out enemy of the state. for us to be heated over him not putting out another mixtape (a whole month after eots was released, mind you) is pretty petty. calm down. let him climb mt. kilimanjaro. help him stay focused on this climb. his life is more important than a mixtape.
damnnnnn samename cool your jets man listen to the man, he does got a point though (not on his balls or anything) Atlantic does have the final say in his stuff. I mean true it was a littttle salty for him to say its comin out on dec 25th, and i'm just as disappointed as anyone else, but you dont see me crying about it. He has to get his priorities straight, and i'm PRETTY sure that climbing Mt kilimanjaro for a global water crisis is alot more important than releasing a mixtape (which we should all be happy is even dropping) to us fans. Just chill out, not like arguing is gonna change anyones opinions, we all gotta wait, just like lu gotta wait till LASERS drops..
hey listen dudes, I didnt compare lupe to wayne ever so come off that stuff! Also im not sayin anything like Im not going to support him now, Lu is and always will be my favorite artist. I need his music like i need air, ya dig. Another thing, he has a single dropping in early 2010. He said flat out, verbatim, "there is NO release date for Lasers" so come off talkin like its ganna drop anytime soon.
i know the whole industry shit {from being a fan of lupe} and i didnt cry over what happen with lupend or great american or lasers or any of the other stuff that i forgot about because i'm fan but i am crying over this cuz this is just crazy! i CAN NOT change anything so someone just please just tell when Lasers is in stores!
On the real, I had the opportunity to speak to this guy and interacted with him through out a whole concert at Towson. He set my life. He can chill and sip Sangria for that matter.
Hey but Lupe, I hope you see this. You killed Enemy of the State like on some true shit. I like how you spit on that last verse of "National Anthem." You pulled that old school "Real Recognize Real" feel back, I like that. Same with the first 20 secs of "Thank You." But look yall the Game was lookin weak, the whole scene staved. Lu came with that muscle milk and them protein bars. You still got my whole heart Lu.
Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I totally understand. I want Lu to be super ready to climb that mountain. Hell, I bet Lupe get's so inspired from the project he'll write a whole mixtape while he is on it. He should title it "Lupe Fiasco: Kilim' Man!" or "Go Kilim' on the Mountain" Haha
Anyways, don't let some of these people let you think that your fans don't love you, because we do. You have always been incredible to us and we totally realize and sincerely appreciate that. Thank you.
hey man we got two albums on the way, it is understandable that people would be mad because of a promised mixtape and now its deleted. but hey if they didnt love lupe as much as a rapper they wouldnt be all mad now would they??? Everyone on here is a fan of Lupe otherwise they wouldnt have a reaction to it....anyways everyone needs to chiillllllll Lupe will bless us in 2010!
idk why people actin like they gonna die without the mixtape...chill
no doubt i was dissapointed too but it was just a mixtape. if you really gonna sit there and cry, go listen to someone that puts out songs everyday that are awful, instead of someone that puts out meaningful songs that we listen to for years and never get tired of...
yo real wrap this site hasnt be this poppin since last month thanks lupe for the resurge. Alot of people have good points about the push backs and time tables upsetting them. It perfectly natural for people to get aggie, on the comments. When i saw the post i was tight for a quick second but before the post something had already told me that the tape wasnt coming on christmas. It sucks cuz that what i told my mom all i wanted AS a present , now ill tell her the new J's. Its all well. just be safe on the mountain man 4miles up is a task. Clean water for the motherland is definitely more important that a tape. Much Love BRother
^^^ 'ey but true dat. I listen to "the cool", "food and liqure" and every other bit of lupe i have like everyday. I have never even thought of getting tired of it. Its on a personal level, dudes lyrics are lightweight my life set to a beat. Ya Dig. Lot's of love to my man Lupe!
We got Enemy of the State only last month, we're getting a new single in a few weeks. AND we're getting two new albums in 2010. And everyone wants to kill Lupe just because he canceled a MIXTAPE. A free mixtape at that. Now I was excited for it too, but it's not anything to get angry over, guys.
now that i'm calm i'd like to say that all that was cuz i love lupe music that much. I really want some new lupe material. good luck with ur climb and ur fight against atlantic just to drop ur stuff...SEE YOU AT THE NEXT CONCERT IN THE DMV AREA!
cmon people...Lupe is dedicating an action out of the ordinary of ALL the artists out there..there is only a hand full of mc/rappers i know that will commit there time to climb KJ for a prestigious cause..i bet Lupes intentions to releasing LASERS is to been soon as possible, just like the rest of us..also ARMY GIRL as a first single(possibly since schedule for 4q, however the man is constricted on his decisions..by his record company..WE got to realize the little things he sacrifices for his fans..just as lupe stated..getting paid less for what he preforms, ect. ..just give him some time.. and we will get what we want... APPLAUDS TO you LUPE... keep it LEGIT
I don´t really see the big deal here, its a just mixtape. Now, if it was Lasers I would have been pissed... or not.
Anyway, I don´t know why you are so surprised/angry Lupe? Whether its your fault or not, you DO have a bad reputation when it comes to release music on the day you announced, or release it whatsoever.
I´ll wait until 2020 if I have to, good luck with he climb! An forget all the noise...
lool. Ya'll dudes are crazy. I feel like ni***as gonna commit a mass suicide up in this joint cause Lu ain't release the tape.
There is a reason "Fan" is short for "Fanatic". And that reason would be, people gettin all hyped up when a mixtape gets pushed back.
You say you're savin lives with this climb Lu, but what about when the lives of the innocents these dudes are gonna start goin homicidal on if they don't get a mixtape lol.
Lupe, don't let these niggas get to you. It seems as though you're affected by them. Know there are fans that will wait, and support the cause you're supporting and understand why you are doing what you are doing.
People, this climb is more then music. Lupe is making a statement. He's not just a rapper, he's a humanitarian.
He obviously cares more about the human race and people's lives then putting out a free mixtape to please his fans. There are priorities.
He's told you countless times that he has two albums finished. Be patient, and be grateful, or don't be a fan at all.
Lupe you don't deserve them, they're not your true fans. Your true fans will wait, because they know you put your best into everything you do, and perfection doesn't come on command. We got your back.
Climb the mountain, come back healthy, and push Atlantic to drop the first single, and get the ball rolling.
By the way people, ATLANTIC ISN'T RELEASING LASERS YET FOR THIS REASON:
They want Lupe to climb the mountain first. They want publicity, because all they care about is the album going platinum, like F & L was supposed to. Let Lu climb the mountain, and get his publicity. The more you let him be, and the quicker he climbs the mountain, the faster you get Lasers.
...So in essence, ya'll niggas complaining that he's climbing this mountain, when climbing the mountain is gonna push the album out faster. So be grateful..
^ You know your whining like the rest of these "bunch of whining bithces" haha calm down chick people just got upset. Lupe's lyrics no matter how rushed, are something that everyone of his fans looks forward too. They got upset. Lu got heated. its calm now. you can sit back down. haha please.
2. im a huge lupe fan(always will be), so when something gets cancelled hell yeah i get mad
3. im logical though, this nigga's life could be at risk climbing the mountain, and intense training is neccesary. i understand...
4. niggas on the blog cant act like they aint never came through with something they was suppose to do before in they life, especially something that was for free for others
5. im more worried about the people who aint serious lupe fans, who say fuck lupe b/c of this. that could be lupe losing popularity and money (doubt he cares though)
6. all you fans needa stop acting like a single is coming at the top of the year and we gon get two albums this year or another mixtape b/c he canceled this one. lupe aint make no promises and if he aint say it or dj busy, it aint true..
7. much respect to lupe in the end b/c this dude is saving lives and this is nothing i respect than a dude that uses his power to help benefit others, thats a true FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE
Are yall really whining that much? not the end of the world.. Truthfully I hope Lu never does a mixtape again just cuz of people bitching this much..
Lasers coming 2010.. we could even see a follow up album as early as 4Q 2010/Early 2011
Until then feel free to listen to Food & Liquor, The Cool, his previous mixtapes...
Matter of fact, you can even listen to other music.. Eminem Relapse Refill is dropping, Clipse dropped a new album... Go download some Mickey Factz... Check out The Sicktape vol. 2 (s-preme), Wale dropped an album too called Attention deficit... here's the point, its not the end of the world..
I bet everyone who is pissed off in these comments is too busy keeping up with the whole Tiger Woods incident vs caring about the war thats still going on...
Welcome to the real world...
Lu do what you gotta do, good luck on the mountain climb.. do not fall or I will slit your throat.. lol...
Irony how fast lu turned into the enemy of the state with 1 tweet... lol
Lupe, not many artists make their fans pay for the mixtapes. And know this, you would be nothing without your fans. I really hope that isn't you typing behind that handle.
Argg, damn I was looking forward to Friend of the people.
But yeah, it's understandable with all the other things he has going on. Lupe´s still the bomb, and allways will be. So chill, listen to Enemy Of The State and enjoy the holidays
1 mo thing lupe (i think) luvs his fans so cool of this not caring shit he only drops top lvl musik not like theze other ignorant niggaz i hype him up so much but sum ppl dont like him becuz hes speakin another lasnguage if u fit in that catagory stop if u dont think frum his point of view then go bak 2 urs n thenk about the shit he does 4 u he dont even no u u buy albums he makes um then he does extra u owe him not the other way i mean really dude b considerate
My gosh, so much drama! I'm willing to bet all is forgiven when LASERS eventually comes out...
I have an off topic question: how many days does the SOTS climb take? When will they be at the top? And back down? I want to know when its worth tuning in on the website, the key days etc. Anyone?
WHOA forget all this I can't believe LUPE is commenting that is too sweet!!!! LASERS IS GONNA BE MONUMENTAL AND HE GOT AN ALBUM AFTER THAT!!! Sounds like this gon be a nice 2010!!! Friend of the People man you don't even gotta do the tape yea i was looking forward to it but the name alone said it all LOL shoot!!! Naw i'm not swinging from Lupe sack but hey the industry ain't no joke.... Lupe I respect what you doing man ODU concert best concert ever!!! Sung shining down with you and requested army girl and you played it what the freak!!! That could settle me for another 8 months lol especially if you climbing a mountain for a great cause. idk you guys the music keeps getting push back but the content isn't being effected. And um excuse me a 22min mixtape he did it in about a day... excuse me what? Come again!!! A day!!! Thats what the freak I'm talkn bout sounds like he's a friend of the people to get us a lil sumthn before 09 was over lol!!! And it was sick it wasn't half @$$ed are you crazy? I'll tell you whats half @$$ed fans that don't appreciate what they have for the moment half of ya'll not even done deciphering 30% of his lyrics yet. on his 22 minute mixtape!!! So um... yeah Peace out FNF UPWARDS!!! Lupe keep doing what you do man even if you dnt see my post!!! Shoot forget!! Punk @$$ fans don't be so down!!! x-)How many of ya'll really think he's gonna let us down on lasers..... come on now army girl...army girl... army fan right here LOL!!! The anticipation is leaking out of my eardrums!!!!
Not gonna lie, initial reaction to the tweet was a little bit of hostility. But I know atlantic has a lot to do with the problems we have with music being released. And honesty, I think LU has his priorities straight right now and he is doing what he needs to do. Africa needs water more than we need new music. Being a die hard lupe fan I am always going to be upset when I hear I don't get music I was expecting, but when I know my favorite artist is doing things like helping to save entire continents, I can't do anything but sit back and applaud the man for just being a good guy. Do your thing LU. Peace, and much love to ya!
For the love of God.. I understand if people are let down by this (I know I am), but there is such a thing as taking it too far.
A mixtape was supposedly going to drop. It's not going to happen. So what? Bitching about it on the internet isn't going to do jack shit. It's just a fucking mixtape for God's sake, I think you can survive without a few extra songs for a few months until Lasers drops. Stop criticising the man. He's a person like everyone else, doing what he wants to do. He doesn't have to cater to ignorant, ungrateful shitheads.
Ok to all yall complaining lupes already working on the album after lasers so that means lasers is done.....so its upto Atlantic to release it.....this Is why lupe said he was retiring.....pplr call him an asshole for pushing back dates when.he never really has control over it.....and as for the new mixtape..he puts something on hold to. try and save a few lives HOPING that he won't break his neck.in the progress and.now he's a Dick? I really dont think he needs fans.like these.....
Think about it though, most of us think of Lupe as one of the best to ever do it if not the best. I am pretty sure he would expect us to get upset over him canceling a mixtape. Pushing it back a bit or something understandable, but canceling it is very dissapointing. His label fucks up the whole album part of it, but the mixtapes are all him so fuck yeah I am upset. I ain't gonna kill someone over it, but yeah im upset. Once again, 2010 better be Lupe all day. Based on his track record I don't think hes telling the truth, but I will never not think of his as one of the best based on what he has done.
^^It's not up to Lu when the album drops, homie. It's Atlantic's decision. Chill everyone, got-dam lol. I mean, shit I'm disappointed too, but u gotta realize what's important.
"I bet everyone who is pissed off in these comments is too busy keeping up with the whole Tiger Woods incident vs caring about the war thats still going on..." -Rhymestyle
lmao, i totally agree. And as Mr_Genius said: single in a couple weeks, TWO freakin albums in one year (possibly), and of course, I KNOW if u a real fan, u still bumpin Enemy. so let's all "Meditate, on the floor. Fold your legs, resonate. Breathin speed, regulate. Clear [your] mind till it levitate...Brace yourself, teeth straight. FIX YOUR FACE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!"
LOL Didn't see that MrGenius post. Stop throwing lupe back at us to calm us down! We are angry fans here! I know its atlantics fault on the album and I don't mind that nothing he can do. The mixtape he could just release at a later date. Even if that shit is like next year sometime its still better than canceled. Late Lupe is still better than no Lupe. Guess Ima go FIX MY FACE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!
Datkid, I feel you on that breakdown shit, Id go with Twilight Zone though. Thats one track by him that I was confused as fuck the whole way through. I got lines here and there, but was it supposed to have a bigger picture to it?
We are all Lupe fans here....Sure, it is a diasppointment but is it really worth getting salty like this? Yah acting like lil kids who have been stood up by their father or something....Lupe simply, bit off too much that he can chew. He recieved so many opportunities to do all these things (i.e. People Speak, The Summit, New Moon song, Enemy of the State mixtape, etc.)...He couldn't do all those things in a timely fashion...Simply impossible. Especially since he is going to climb a fucking MOUNTAIN! If you ask me, I knew he would have to cancel something...whether it was the mountain or the music. Its a fucking mountain not high school rock climbing...I dont care how fit Lu look, he is not a professional climber. I mean, I am scared for Lu's life! I mean, Lu be falling off stages and shit,lol (Still bothers me that he fell on "he say, she say" and "paris, tokyo" I mean i can see "kick, push" but whatever,lol).......BTW the fact that he is willing to be the one rapper to push himself for such a great cause heightens my love for him evem more. Mother fuckers are dieing over water and yah salty about a mixtape?...Half of yah pissed about Enemy of State....what makes you think that this mixtape would satisfy your addiction even more? Put on the Lupe classics on repeat and get a hobby while your waiting on the new music...If you want that 'fast food' rap... turn on the radio....all GOOD meals/music take time.
@Lupe; Do not waste your time talking to niggas. Niggas never understand! It's all love in the end. Sick twisted love but love <3
Go Baby did you read when he said it took him a day to make Enemy of the State? Good music clearly is just like takin a shit to him he does it naturally.
^^"Good music clearly is just like takin a shit to him he does it naturally."lol Good One. Yeah, I read Lu did the mixtape in a day... So, Lu says. But honestly, do I believe that he did the mixtape in a day? Not really! Sorry but I dont. Either or, niggas was salty about that mixtape. Maybe he want to put more time into the next one. Either or, I am not trippin.
I was talking about this shit with my brother just the other day with my brother. Lupe Fiasco already has a lot of music out, but do you know how old most of his material is? He's so fucking stengy with his unreleased material, to be honest, his unreleased material is what actually keeps me a fan. His unreleased material SHITS on ANYTHING he's dropped COMMERCIALLY since The Cool. And for him to actually hype up this mix-tape and go cancel it on us, that's fucked up. He said it himself, but I didn't think he was that serious about it. They asked, "So Lupe you been in the studio lately?" LUPE REPLIED, "Recording music, hell no, I've been enjoying myself."
That's pretty fucked up, he even said he's only in rap to "Travel" and "See the world."
I want that OLD Lupe Fiasco back, and I'm requesting more leaked material, MAY SOMEONE BLESS US.
The people who are complaining are being so selfish. So you're not getting the mixtape right now...who cares? Lupe's doing something that will save lives and y'all are mad cuz you're not getting a few songs. Damn...
Guys, you know what you should do? Just stop whining, and wait. That's all it is with Lupe, good things do come to those who wait, so why not just wait. That's what we've all done with the past mixtapes and albums, it's just this time he's climbing Kilimanjaro for people without water. Would you climb Kilimanjaro like he is? That's what I thought, so shut your mouth.
You know, just like everyone else, I'm sad. But when something is cancelled or pushed back, I just throw on The Cool, or A Rhyming Ape, or Shining Down, or anything by Lupe, and maybe that's what you should do. Remember who the greatest artist in Hip Hop is.
I'd rather see Lu make it to Kilimangaro alive. He's too amazing for words. I'm cool bumpin' the 100+ songs I have from him in my iPod. It's cool. I'm still a #1 fan. Always. No matter what.
"Lupe & Friends: *exhausted* WE MADE IT! FINALLY! FAN: Where my mixtape at, nigga?"
you are too funny.
but yeah I'm a lil disapointed but I'm not gonna get all hyped up and crazy like some of yall...oh well the man has a life. I'm a fan but I'm not gon pester him about a mixtape...forget that I want a album, but i'll wait eitha way.
i swear some of yall act like your life revolves around lupe, please give him his nuts back and let him do him.
To the people who are bitching shut the hell up! He don't have to make shit! He does what he wants, Don't like it go listen to something else! Lupe u do wat u do! You''ll see who's your true fans, the people who appreciate when u release new music, the same ones who don't bitch and whine when u don't.
this has gotten way outta hand on both sides...it should be completely understandable to be dissapointed that the mixtape is gone cuz now that new Lupe we all were expecting around Christmas is not gonna come. On the other hand it should be just as understandable that in the music biz things rarely happen on a set timeline. Cancellations and changes in dates happen all the time people.
I thought intelligent people listened to Lu. I guess everybody's got their buttons.
Would you people rather have Lupe die or get sick up on that mountain? He's gotta train. and to remind to what he is doing instead is not for himself finacially. He is climbing a mountain for CHARITY.
Yes,he did say he was going to release a mixtape and now he isn't going to. Don't humans make mistakes? Is Lupe not human? Isn't that why we love Lupe, because he is REAL and we can relate what what he raps about?
To the person who said its illegal to sell mixtapes:
It its NOT illegal to sell mixtapes... it is ILLEGAL to sell mixtapes with instrumentals that ARENT cleared.. meaning if the person who owns the license of the original beat lets u, then you are ALLOWED to do whatever... hence why Big Sean was allowed to sell his mixtape after Kanye pretty much allowed him to use Say You Will...
Also if a mixtape is completely original and you own the license to the beats, then again you are allowed to sell the tape... and as for being a jackass by paying for a tape, alot of times artists sell these tapes @ shows because people SUPPORT them.. if you support an artist, then paying like $5 for a mixtape shouldnt be much...
As salaamu alaykum, May I remind everyone that a mixtape is 1) Free of cost to the consumer and 2) Entertainment. It's FREE ENTERTAINMENT!!!! The artist has taken nothing away from you, the listener, and has instead made the sound decision to focus his charitable efforts on those who need it: indigent human beings in desperate need of water. Regardless of what the artist may have been going through, the would-be consumer has no legitimate reason to protest.
Disappointing. But I understand that the training is more important right now.
But seriously, Lupe needs to get back on the ball. Enemy of the State wasn't even CLOSE to the greatness of Fahrenheit 1/15 Parts 1,2 and 3. It wasn't even close to being the mixtape of 2009 either. I was disappointing with it to say the least.
Really Lupe needs to train? I thought he had 4 black belts. Kilimanjaro is a easy climb, it's more of hike. If you take the easy trail (which they are), its very easy and has a huge success rate. And training is no reason not to drop the mix-tape. Dissapointed
"If some of you aren’t aware yet, Lupe recently announced he’s not dropping Friend Of The People on X-Mas. Sucks, right? But that sting should only be temporary, as Jay called in to Shade45 to announce that Act II: Patents Of Nobility will drop that day."
D-Truth STFU yourself. Jay Electronica got the internet going nuts with that "Exhibit C" joint. THAT'S how you build/keep your buzz, not by failing to deliver on your promises like Lupe.
^^ keepin promises??? wtf are u talkin about?? exhibit c is a old ass song, shits been out for months.. he only rekindled the flame by droppin the cdq version of it n puttin it on itunes. only reason jay elect gettin so much attention imo is cuz he has an unorthodox way of releasin music, like puttin out 2 minute videos n only the last 10 seconds bein a part of a new song, to keep niggas antsy
So giving youre fans free music is 'wasting' songs?....why does it seem like a burden for him to give the fans who made him who he is now, music?...you have rappers far more popular than him like Wayne giving his fans 21 tracks mixtapes..and he doesnt complain about it, he embraces the opportunity....shyt he even gave his fans a 'thank you for listening' outro...and Lupe up here telling his fans to be grateful over a 20 minute mixtape...he tellin his fans to be greatful for him, when he should be greatful for his fans...i think the guy is rapping for the wrong reason, to me it doesnt seem he really enjoys rapping,, because if he didnt he wouldnt have a problem wuth giving his fans music....smh...sorr y for the rant...this just really woke me up to his 'appreciation' for his fans....
smh, ya better hope Lasers dont leak, if he misses his chance to go platinum or gold, or loses any type of money at all bcuz of a leak, he neva rappin again, even tho it isnt the fans fault...
@Anonymous 1:53 a.m. 12/21-simple..press play. They may be "snippets" as you say, but they all have dope lyrics in them
@Anonymous 11:35 a.m. 12/20-smdh"Forget Lupe, Jay Electronica said he's dropping something on Christmas. Lupe's loss is Jay's gain. Jay Electronica > Lupe Fiasco
WOOOW...guess u werent a real fan to begin with...
Calm the f**k down and stop acting like Lupe owes you anything.
I was dissapointed as well, and looked forward to it, but you know, if it's lupe, there was a good reason to cancel it.
What he is trying to do with his music, yall should be fine with waiting, even if lasers dropped 2011. If you aren't fine with waiting, show me just ONE rapper who is trying to do the same for us like Lupe is trying to .. Until then, stop taking him for granted.
Lupe murdered wayne. No Ceilings was a joke compared to Enemy of the State. What is hilarious is the fact that some people are saying Lupe half assed the mixtape. If you can do better, please show us!!! I stopped listening to No Ceilings about a month after it came out. Enemy of the State is on repeat, even after 2 1/2 months. And there is no way in hell that Lupe is commercial. Lupe, congrats on the climb. The only album I'm looking forward to this year is Lasers.
understandable.
ReplyDeletewell damn...mr anonymous up there ^^ is mad...
ReplyDeleteyou cant predict the future...good wishes Lupe.
anonymous is sort of right, he new well ahead of time that he was doing the mixtape and the mountain climbing
ReplyDeleteIt's lightweight dirty, I understand how important the climb is, but I was really pumped for this mixtape. This single off lasers better drop like within the first two weeks of January or i'm ganna be real salty. I talk Lupe up so much to my friends that are on Wayne's dick and then Lupe doesn't drop anything. It's lightweight dirty that's all.
ReplyDeleteridiculous...that's all I can say.
ReplyDeleteSo if he doesn't drop the single soon, what are ya'll going to do? nothing! patience niggas...it's not like he didnt say he wasn't dropping the album anymore. Clearly the man has had a pretty busy year.
And Lupe did all Enemy of the State in like a day or two. To even drop a mixtape is great since he said he wasn't going to do anymore after his last one.
at least he let us know... in the old days we would wait until 25th.. and nothing would happen... then we would wait 2 more weeks... until we understood it was never gonna be released :D
ReplyDeleteEveRybody STFU & qO watch Fr0sty The Snowman its 0n cbs ch.2
ReplyDeleteaNd let Lupe do his thing that climb is alot of work he dnt jus sit around 0n his ass all day like u quys s0 b patient and happy holidays 1
@datkid: the nigga knew he was gonna be climbing a fucking mountain so why the fuck would he get us hype taking bout "yea i plan to go in this time" and all he did was drop a half assed mixtape. Yall dick heads could stand there and let lupe jerk yall around but imma say something about it. Lupes not dumb. what ever happened to "yea i been the studio all day recording" what happened to the nigga "sudden inspiration" Lupe be pulling shit like this all the time b, thats why i don't be believing him fully when he be saying shit.
ReplyDeleteand i hope he make it safe on the mountain climb. but i'm still pissed.
ReplyDeletelupefiasco
ReplyDeleteDON'T WORRY!!! SO MUCH MUSIC COMING IN 2010. JUST GET READY... 10 minutes ago from web
Please correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't the first time he's delayed a project. When people tell me they're going to do something I expect them to keep their word or else I'm gonna be pissed. I understand the Anons' dickiness.
ReplyDeleteThat said, training is more important. You know, human life is more important. As far as I'm concerned, he's not like Tupac or Biggie(dead rappers that keep spitting hot fiah long after they died...)
yall cant lie anon is right man lupe is raw but he dont release nothin for two years then release a 20 min mixtape and then say he makin another one on christmas and all these tweets sayin he in the studio workin on this and that how he workin on his next album already but cant do his mixtape
ReplyDeletewe losin new music
ReplyDeleteTrust?
ReplyDeleteAlright and like i said if you know you climbing a mountain why would you get ya fans hyped up for some new music? Thats makes no sense he should"ve been training for the longest if the climb was that important. Its not what i'm losing its what hes losing. I want lupe to get his shine,more shine than Wayne but thats gonna be hard to get when you can't keep your schedule on track and release some music.
ReplyDeleteQuality over quantity. Agreed?
ReplyDeleteAhh this shit is so crazy to me.
ReplyDeleteLike datkid said ya'll niggas haven't paid for nothing!!
be lucky he released a mixtape during Thanksgiving!
He has 19 days before he climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro! What have YOU been doign with YOUR life besides bitching about some mixtape? He released a 20min mixtape that is better than just about enything that's come out this year IMO...and he did it in a day!
I mean i'm hurt that the tape isn't dropping, but i'm not going to stop supporting the man and say he's "jerking" me around. Stop your bitching and crying.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you guys dont understand.. i was counting down the days for this mix tape on my calendar. i never get anything good for christmas, i was looking forward to a good mixtape.
ReplyDeleteLUPE STOLE CHRISTMAS!
LOL @ "Lupe stole Christmas"...seriously!
ReplyDeleteSome of you are really crying right now. Everyone makes valid points, but to call someone a "dick" or an "asshole" because they cancelled a mixtape? You didn't even know about the mixtape until three weeks ago.. and Lupe has been working hard. I mean really, he's working on the album AFTER Lasers.. respect. And some of you are acting like he hasn't been doing anything since the Cool.. do you realize that he JUST ended a two year international tour? I mean, damn, I'm disappointed too, but he's about to climb a mountain and then go even harder than he did with the Cool... it has got to be taking a toll on him. I'm wishing for the best.
....AND STOP COMPARING LUPE TO WAYNE!
aint nobody said they was going to stop supporting the nigga just that its fucked up he promised a mixtape on christmas and canceled it damn if he could do eots in a day y he couldnt do fotp instead of workin on a album that aint comin out till after lasers
ReplyDeleteOnly an Anon would compare Lupe to the Grinch ("LUPE STOLE CHRISTMAS!)...
ReplyDelete^Yes cause there is no comparison lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you June...people act like he's just been sitting around scratching his balls (excuse me) since The Cool
It's bittersweet to me.
ReplyDeleteI love Lupe Fiasco to death. His music brings calmness to me. I just can't ignore the fact that he did say Lasers would drop Fall, then Winter, then January. Same thing with Army Girl coming out "4th Quarter". I remember actually questioning everyone in a comment on a later entry on this blog asking do you guys ACTUALLY think Army Girl would drop "4th Quarter" and the album in Winter. He went in to correct/answer to confirm, "YES, Army Girl will drop 4th quarter and Lasers will be out Winter". Similar story with "Shining Down", it had to get leaked. GOD only knows when we would have seen that track if it didn't leak. It sucks when he does that because people really anticipate his music, then when it's grind time-there's nothing to show for it but a push back or...NOTHING. So how am I supposed to feel when early 2010 comes? 2009 didn't work, "4th Quarter" didn't work. Yea I get angry, and I highly doubt Lupe would understand our end of the situation. People need his music as well as society.
Nevertheless, Lupe train well, train hard, may Allah/GOD be with you on your climb of M.K. I'll be waiting when you come back down bro.
This is a sad day! Can't he just realease it earlier?
ReplyDeleteUnsung Hero, very well said.
ReplyDeleteIt was expected, i knew something like this was gonna happen. Just wish he wouldnt say anything if he wasnt sure. Just build hypes then let downs for his fans.
ReplyDeleteOh please...stop whining...
ReplyDeleteniggaz catching feelings over this?
: /
mixtapes are easy...climbing a giant mountain is hard...
just hope you don't have to pay for the next one...if there is a next one...
Thanx for the love...
June -- you are super duper cuteee lol
ReplyDeleteumm... anyway yeahh Lupe Stole Christmas and i will now get a pair of socks again for Christmas with nothing to listen to because Lu didnt come through
Watch LASERS even get pushed back to the Summer of 2010
Unsung Hero basically sums it all up perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we do pay. we buy his albums, pay for his concert tickets, his clothes. We support his music. As fans its aggravating to be given dates and promises and having them renigged.
It was May, summer, fall, winter, january, 2010.....shinning down took ages....army girl was 4th quarter...i'm a fan....but come on.....People who commented in here just responded to the way "anonymous" delivered his message. Unsung hero calmed it down and made it reasonable.
no excuses....
but good luck to him
I smellt that ownage from him around the corner.
ReplyDeleteLupe can you at least make up for your blunder by giving us some info on what will be on the album, who will be on it, and/or anything about the single?
ReplyDeleteANYTHING! My ears feel naked and they need to be clothed by the beautiful vibrations of your music.
If that last comment was Lupe, then i'd like to make a suggestion for the next mixtape name..
ReplyDeleteHow about Enemy of the people?
sigh* this is a disappointment, I was expecting the mixtape to release..I listen to lupe's songs to get through a stressful day..hopefully FOTP will be an addition..but it is completely understandable... in 2010 lupe will right is wrongs...and blow our minds with LASERS...GL with your climb
ReplyDeleteAlso if you have issues with things being pushed backed all the time send a letter to:
ReplyDeleteAtlantic Records
1290 Avenue Of The Americas
NY, NY
It aint all me folks...I got bosses just like the employed among you have bosses...
Albums are done...records are sitting...when they are ready to put them out...then they'll be out...same story for every artist signed to major label...
I fight the fights that I can but if you guys feel like you can do better then by all means...the address is above...
Lupe shouldn't even comment, it's blowing me that he is because he doesn't have to answer to none of us. That's why have of you all need to shut the hell up. It's a part that Artist/Major Record Labels wont understand as well as fans wont. Keep going back forth with this shit, to me you guys are just sitting here twiddling his thumbs.
ReplyDeleteLike a wise man once said,
ReplyDeletePlus a lot of greediness
And that greed, outshines the neediness
And on the real, I'm scared for Lupe's life lol. This is 19,000+ feet. This isn't a hike through a rainforest or Himalayas. People should analyze what in the actual hell he's doing.
ReplyDeletelets get those letters poppin then
ReplyDeleteI agree with An Unsung Hero...and I bet people are even more heated by what Lupe just said. Get over it...it's a mixtape! I know...this stuff has happened before, but come on...if you have a problem, don't comment anonymously on a fan blog about it. we should be lucky he put out enemy of the state. for us to be heated over him not putting out another mixtape (a whole month after eots was released, mind you) is pretty petty. calm down. let him climb mt. kilimanjaro. help him stay focused on this climb. his life is more important than a mixtape.
ReplyDeletebe safe on that climb lu!
Yeah, forget about people in need of H2O and food. It's all about us. Why should we worry about poor people? Let them figure out their own problems...
ReplyDeleteCome on guys, it's just music.
damnnnnn samename cool your jets man
ReplyDeletelisten to the man, he does got a point though (not on his balls or anything) Atlantic does have the final say in his stuff. I mean true it was a littttle salty for him to say its comin out on dec 25th, and i'm just as disappointed as anyone else, but you dont see me crying about it. He has to get his priorities straight, and i'm PRETTY sure that climbing Mt kilimanjaro for a global water crisis is alot more important than releasing a mixtape (which we should all be happy is even dropping) to us fans. Just chill out, not like arguing is gonna change anyones opinions, we all gotta wait, just like lu gotta wait till LASERS drops..
hey listen dudes, I didnt compare lupe to wayne ever so come off that stuff! Also im not sayin anything like Im not going to support him now, Lu is and always will be my favorite artist. I need his music like i need air, ya dig. Another thing, he has a single dropping in early 2010. He said flat out, verbatim, "there is NO release date for Lasers" so come off talkin like its ganna drop anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteIt comes with the title of entertainer though....even though what you're saying is right...
ReplyDeletethe point of an entertainer is to entertain....its especially more difficult when you're held on a certain pedistal....
If you put out great product and something cancels it, fans will naturally be upset...
If you're wack and cancel...niggas just wont care...
just get your dates right THATS IT!
ReplyDeleteyou can tell the Anon's are just being trolls now, they arent even making any sense
ReplyDeleteLupe please stop commenting these people don't deserve no answers man!
ReplyDeletei know the whole industry shit {from being a fan of lupe} and i didnt cry over what happen with lupend or great american or lasers or any of the other stuff that i forgot about because i'm fan but i am crying over this cuz this is just crazy! i CAN NOT change anything so someone just please just tell when Lasers is in stores!
ReplyDeleteAhem.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/106andpark/106_Vote_Poll.html
lol thanks June for posting that link.
ReplyDeletevote for "solar midnite" on 106&park!
On the real, I had the opportunity to speak to this guy and interacted with him through out a whole concert at Towson. He set my life. He can chill and sip Sangria for that matter.
ReplyDeleteAlot of you guys are being pretty damn ungrateful. It's a free mixtape, stop complaining.
ReplyDeleteHey but Lupe, I hope you see this. You killed Enemy of the State like on some true shit. I like how you spit on that last verse of "National Anthem." You pulled that old school "Real Recognize Real" feel back, I like that. Same with the first 20 secs of "Thank You." But look yall the Game was lookin weak, the whole scene staved. Lu came with that muscle milk and them protein bars. You still got my whole heart Lu.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I totally understand. I want Lu to be super ready to climb that mountain. Hell, I bet Lupe get's so inspired from the project he'll write a whole mixtape while he is on it.
ReplyDeleteHe should title it "Lupe Fiasco: Kilim' Man!" or "Go Kilim' on the Mountain" Haha
Anyways, don't let some of these people let you think that your fans don't love you, because we do. You have always been incredible to us and we totally realize and sincerely appreciate that. Thank you.
2010- Revenge Begins...
everybody relax
ReplyDeleteLASERS comin out 2015
The next album comin out 2017
be patient yall!
Damn Im dissapointed. Oh well. Can't wait till Lasers you all know it will be worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteI guess im cool with a lil setback as long as the album and mixtapes are good.
ReplyDeleteDidnt particularly like enemy of the state, some good lyrics but seem liked he didnt really put work into it. Like his other mixtapes.
Lupe, you're slowly being forgotten and being left in the dust man. I hope you still have a sense of urgency.
ReplyDeletehey man we got two albums on the way, it is understandable that people would be mad because of a promised mixtape and now its deleted. but hey if they didnt love lupe as much as a rapper they wouldnt be all mad now would they??? Everyone on here is a fan of Lupe otherwise they wouldnt have a reaction to it....anyways everyone needs to chiillllllll Lupe will bless us in 2010!
ReplyDeleteidk why people actin like they gonna die without the mixtape...chill
ReplyDeleteno doubt i was dissapointed too but it was just a mixtape. if you really gonna sit there and cry, go listen to someone that puts out songs everyday that are awful, instead of someone that puts out meaningful songs that we listen to for years and never get tired of...
yo real wrap this site hasnt be this poppin since last month thanks lupe for the resurge. Alot of people have good points about the push backs and time tables upsetting them. It perfectly natural for people to get aggie, on the comments. When i saw the post i was tight for a quick second but before the post something had already told me that the tape wasnt coming on christmas. It sucks cuz that what i told my mom all i wanted AS a present , now ill tell her the new J's. Its all well. just be safe on the mountain man 4miles up is a task. Clean water for the motherland is definitely more important that a tape. Much Love BRother
ReplyDeleteLasers in 2010. Just Drop that Single.
As long as you come our with 2 albums or 1 album/1 mixtape next year, Lupe, I'll be happy
ReplyDelete...and pick up Demarco again lol
...please
^^^ 'ey but true dat.
ReplyDeleteI listen to "the cool", "food and liqure" and every other bit of lupe i have like everyday. I have never even thought of getting tired of it. Its on a personal level, dudes lyrics are lightweight my life set to a beat. Ya Dig. Lot's of love to my man Lupe!
Wow. Not wow @ Lupe, but @ at you guys.
ReplyDeleteWe got Enemy of the State only last month, we're getting a new single in a few weeks. AND we're getting two new albums in 2010. And everyone wants to kill Lupe just because he canceled a MIXTAPE. A free mixtape at that. Now I was excited for it too, but it's not anything to get angry over, guys.
2010 is gonna be the year...
:)
^^^go to sleep...
ReplyDeletenow that i'm calm i'd like to say that all that was cuz i love lupe music that much. I really want some new lupe material. good luck with ur climb and ur fight against atlantic just to drop ur stuff...SEE YOU AT THE NEXT CONCERT IN THE DMV AREA!
ReplyDeletecmon people...Lupe is dedicating an action out of the ordinary of ALL the artists out there..there is only a hand full of mc/rappers i know that will commit there time to climb KJ for a prestigious cause..i bet Lupes intentions to releasing LASERS is to been soon as possible, just like the rest of us..also ARMY GIRL as a first single(possibly since schedule for 4q, however the man is constricted on his decisions..by his record company..WE got to realize the little things he sacrifices for his fans..just as lupe stated..getting paid less for what he preforms, ect. ..just give him some time.. and we will get what we want... APPLAUDS TO you LUPE... keep it LEGIT
ReplyDeleteI don´t really see the big deal here, its a just mixtape. Now, if it was Lasers I would have been pissed... or not.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I don´t know why you are so surprised/angry Lupe? Whether its your fault or not, you DO have a bad reputation when it comes to release music on the day you announced, or release it whatsoever.
I´ll wait until 2020 if I have to, good luck with he climb! An forget all the noise...
why people so surprised at the reactions
ReplyDelete-people like lupe
-lupe tells people mixtape comin
-mixtape canceled
-people that like lupe get frustrated
that is to be expected
lool. Ya'll dudes are crazy. I feel like ni***as gonna commit a mass suicide up in this joint cause Lu ain't release the tape.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason "Fan" is short for "Fanatic". And that reason would be, people gettin all hyped up when a mixtape gets pushed back.
You say you're savin lives with this climb Lu, but what about when the lives of the innocents these dudes are gonna start goin homicidal on if they don't get a mixtape lol.
What about the lives of the innocents*
ReplyDeleteLupe, don't let these niggas get to you. It seems as though you're affected by them. Know there are fans that will wait, and support the cause you're supporting and understand why you are doing what you are doing.
ReplyDeletePeople, this climb is more then music. Lupe is making a statement. He's not just a rapper, he's a humanitarian.
He obviously cares more about the human race and people's lives then putting out a free mixtape to please his fans. There are priorities.
He's told you countless times that he has two albums finished. Be patient, and be grateful, or don't be a fan at all.
Lupe you don't deserve them, they're not your true fans. Your true fans will wait, because they know you put your best into everything you do, and perfection doesn't come on command. We got your back.
Climb the mountain, come back healthy, and push Atlantic to drop the first single, and get the ball rolling.
By the way people, ATLANTIC ISN'T RELEASING LASERS YET FOR THIS REASON:
They want Lupe to climb the mountain first. They want publicity, because all they care about is the album going platinum, like F & L was supposed to. Let Lu climb the mountain, and get his publicity. The more you let him be, and the quicker he climbs the mountain, the faster you get Lasers.
...So in essence, ya'll niggas complaining that he's climbing this mountain, when climbing the mountain is gonna push the album out faster. So be grateful..
Peace and much love to ya.
Wow, that sucks.
ReplyDeleteOh well, train hard Lu. Climb the mountain, go home, chill, and drop shit when you're ready.
I'll be bumpin' Revenge of the Nerds 'till then. =P
lmaaoooooo
ReplyDeleteyo my dude Lupe is a G.
do ya thang, I ,just like everybody else was dying to here something ill but I can wait...
in the end, its only entertainment.
Good luck Lupe, you're a brave dude!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope you're coming up with some hot lines while sweatin on the treadmill hahaha
^ You know your whining like the rest of these "bunch of whining bithces" haha calm down chick people just got upset. Lupe's lyrics no matter how rushed, are something that everyone of his fans looks forward too. They got upset. Lu got heated. its calm now. you can sit back down. haha please.
ReplyDelete1. im pissed, i wont lie.
ReplyDelete2. im a huge lupe fan(always will be), so when something gets cancelled hell yeah i get mad
3. im logical though, this nigga's life could be at risk climbing the mountain, and intense training is neccesary. i understand...
4. niggas on the blog cant act like they aint never came through with something they was suppose to do before in they life, especially something that was for free for others
5. im more worried about the people who aint serious lupe fans, who say fuck lupe b/c of this. that could be lupe losing popularity and money (doubt he cares though)
6. all you fans needa stop acting like a single is coming at the top of the year and we gon get two albums this year or another mixtape b/c he canceled this one. lupe aint make no promises and if he aint say it or dj busy, it aint true..
7. much respect to lupe in the end b/c this dude is saving lives and this is nothing i respect than a dude that uses his power to help benefit others, thats a true FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE
Are yall really whining that much? not the end of the world.. Truthfully I hope Lu never does a mixtape again just cuz of people bitching this much..
ReplyDeleteLasers coming 2010.. we could even see a follow up album as early as 4Q 2010/Early 2011
Until then feel free to listen to Food & Liquor, The Cool, his previous mixtapes...
Matter of fact, you can even listen to other music.. Eminem Relapse Refill is dropping, Clipse dropped a new album... Go download some Mickey Factz... Check out The Sicktape vol. 2 (s-preme), Wale dropped an album too called Attention deficit... here's the point, its not the end of the world..
I bet everyone who is pissed off in these comments is too busy keeping up with the whole Tiger Woods incident vs caring about the war thats still going on...
Welcome to the real world...
Lu do what you gotta do, good luck on the mountain climb.. do not fall or I will slit your throat.. lol...
Irony how fast lu turned into the enemy of the state with 1 tweet... lol
I joke I joke...
anyways Lasers = 2010.. lets go!
Lupe, not many artists make their fans pay for the mixtapes. And know this, you would be nothing without your fans. I really hope that isn't you typing behind that handle.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better myself, Rhymestyle.
ReplyDeleteI honestly would not be surprised if he never did another tape because of this VERY reason. You're upset about a mixtape.... when:
1. The 1st single is dropping in January (prob. the 1st or 2nd week).
2. Lasers is dropping.
3. You might see a 4th album before the year is out.
Lupe's fans understand what's important and it's OBVIOUS his "stans" do not.

ReplyDeleteGood Luck climbing that mountain Lu!!
ReplyDeleteIs that going to be on tv? lu climbing the mountain?
ReplyDeleteArgg, damn I was looking forward to Friend of the people.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, it's understandable with all the other things he has going on.
Lupe´s still the bomb, and allways will be.
So chill, listen to Enemy Of The State and enjoy the holidays
FNF up!
1 mo thing lupe (i think) luvs his fans so cool of this not caring shit he only drops top lvl musik not like theze other ignorant niggaz i hype him up so much but sum ppl dont like him becuz hes speakin another lasnguage if u fit in that catagory stop if u dont think frum his point of view then go bak 2 urs n thenk about the shit he does 4 u he dont even no u u buy albums he makes um then he does extra u owe him not the other way i mean really dude b considerate
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, so much drama! I'm willing to bet all is forgiven when LASERS eventually comes out...
ReplyDeleteI have an off topic question: how many days does the SOTS climb take? When will they be at the top? And back down? I want to know when its worth tuning in on the website, the key days etc. Anyone?
WHOA forget all this I can't believe LUPE is commenting that is too sweet!!!! LASERS IS GONNA BE MONUMENTAL AND HE GOT AN ALBUM AFTER THAT!!! Sounds like this gon be a nice 2010!!! Friend of the People man you don't even gotta do the tape yea i was looking forward to it but the name alone said it all LOL shoot!!! Naw i'm not swinging from Lupe sack but hey the industry ain't no joke.... Lupe I respect what you doing man ODU concert best concert ever!!! Sung shining down with you and requested army girl and you played it what the freak!!! That could settle me for another 8 months lol especially if you climbing a mountain for a great cause. idk you guys the music keeps getting push back but the content isn't being effected. And um excuse me a 22min mixtape he did it in about a day... excuse me what? Come again!!! A day!!! Thats what the freak I'm talkn bout sounds like he's a friend of the people to get us a lil sumthn before 09 was over lol!!! And it was sick it wasn't half @$$ed are you crazy? I'll tell you whats half @$$ed fans that don't appreciate what they have for the moment half of ya'll not even done deciphering 30% of his lyrics yet. on his 22 minute mixtape!!! So um... yeah Peace out FNF UPWARDS!!! Lupe keep doing what you do man even if you dnt see my post!!! Shoot forget!! Punk @$$ fans don't be so down!!! x-)How many of ya'll really think he's gonna let us down on lasers..... come on now army girl...army girl... army fan right here LOL!!! The anticipation is leaking out of my eardrums!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie, initial reaction to the tweet was a little bit of hostility. But I know atlantic has a lot to do with the problems we have with music being released. And honesty, I think LU has his priorities straight right now and he is doing what he needs to do. Africa needs water more than we need new music. Being a die hard lupe fan I am always going to be upset when I hear I don't get music I was expecting, but when I know my favorite artist is doing things like helping to save entire continents, I can't do anything but sit back and applaud the man for just being a good guy. Do your thing LU. Peace, and much love to ya!
ReplyDeleteyo lupe be coo.....
ReplyDeleteyou still got thoses who really support the climb...
but i aask if it is possible can drop army girl? or a hd snippet?
if not i understand
but if so that would be beautiful.
For the love of God..
ReplyDeleteI understand if people are let down by this (I know I am), but there is such a thing as taking it too far.
A mixtape was supposedly going to drop. It's not going to happen. So what? Bitching about it on the internet isn't going to do jack shit.
It's just a fucking mixtape for God's sake, I think you can survive without a few extra songs for a few months until Lasers drops. Stop criticising the man. He's a person like everyone else, doing what he wants to do. He doesn't have to cater to ignorant, ungrateful shitheads.
Good luck on Kilimanjaro, Lupe.
a life <- some of you need that.

Ok to all yall complaining lupes already working on the album after lasers so that means lasers is done.....so its upto Atlantic to release it.....this Is why lupe said he was retiring.....pplr call him an asshole for pushing back dates when.he never really has control over it.....and as for the new mixtape..he puts something on hold to. try and save a few lives HOPING that he won't break his neck.in the progress and.now he's a Dick? I really dont think he needs fans.like these.....

enemy took 1day as he said.. cant he just do another 1 in a day.. im just sayin.. 2010 better be lupe all day!
ReplyDeleteThink about it though, most of us think of Lupe as one of the best to ever do it if not the best. I am pretty sure he would expect us to get upset over him canceling a mixtape. Pushing it back a bit or something understandable, but canceling it is very dissapointing. His label fucks up the whole album part of it, but the mixtapes are all him so fuck yeah I am upset. I ain't gonna kill someone over it, but yeah im upset. Once again, 2010 better be Lupe all day. Based on his track record I don't think hes telling the truth, but I will never not think of his as one of the best based on what he has done.
ReplyDelete^^It's not up to Lu when the album drops, homie. It's Atlantic's decision. Chill everyone, got-dam lol. I mean, shit I'm disappointed too, but u gotta realize what's important.
ReplyDelete"I bet everyone who is pissed off in these comments is too busy keeping up with the whole Tiger Woods incident vs caring about the war thats still going on..."
-Rhymestyle
lmao, i totally agree. And as Mr_Genius said: single in a couple weeks, TWO freakin albums in one year (possibly), and of course, I KNOW if u a real fan, u still bumpin Enemy. so let's all
"Meditate, on the floor. Fold your legs, resonate. Breathin speed, regulate. Clear [your] mind till it levitate...Brace yourself, teeth straight. FIX YOUR FACE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!"
LOL Didn't see that MrGenius post. Stop throwing lupe back at us to calm us down! We are angry fans here! I know its atlantics fault on the album and I don't mind that nothing he can do. The mixtape he could just release at a later date. Even if that shit is like next year sometime its still better than canceled. Late Lupe is still better than no Lupe. Guess Ima go FIX MY FACE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!
ReplyDeleteDatkid, I feel you on that breakdown shit, Id go with Twilight Zone though. Thats one track by him that I was confused as fuck the whole way through. I got lines here and there, but was it supposed to have a bigger picture to it?
ReplyDeleteWe are all Lupe fans here....Sure, it is a diasppointment but is it really worth getting salty like this? Yah acting like lil kids who have been stood up by their father or something....Lupe simply, bit off too much that he can chew. He recieved so many opportunities to do all these things (i.e. People Speak, The Summit, New Moon song, Enemy of the State mixtape, etc.)...He couldn't do all those things in a timely fashion...Simply impossible. Especially since he is going to climb a fucking MOUNTAIN! If you ask me, I knew he would have to cancel something...whether it was the mountain or the music. Its a fucking mountain not high school rock climbing...I dont care how fit Lu look, he is not a professional climber. I mean, I am scared for Lu's life! I mean, Lu be falling off stages and shit,lol (Still bothers me that he fell on "he say, she say" and "paris, tokyo" I mean i can see "kick, push" but whatever,lol).......BTW the fact that he is willing to be the one rapper to push himself for such a great cause heightens my love for him evem more. Mother fuckers are dieing over water and yah salty about a mixtape?...Half of yah pissed about Enemy of State....what makes you think that this mixtape would satisfy your addiction even more? Put on the Lupe classics on repeat and get a hobby while your waiting on the new music...If you want that 'fast food' rap... turn on the radio....all GOOD meals/music take time.
ReplyDelete@Lupe; Do not waste your time talking to niggas. Niggas never understand! It's all love in the end. Sick twisted love but love <3
Go Baby did you read when he said it took him a day to make Enemy of the State? Good music clearly is just like takin a shit to him he does it naturally.
ReplyDelete^^"Good music clearly is just like takin a shit to him he does it naturally."lol Good One. Yeah, I read Lu did the mixtape in a day... So, Lu says. But honestly, do I believe that he did the mixtape in a day? Not really! Sorry but I dont. Either or, niggas was salty about that mixtape. Maybe he want to put more time into the next one. Either or, I am not trippin.
ReplyDeleteI understand you all may be dissapointed....
ReplyDeleteHowever...
Lupe, I'm not in the least bit moved by the fact you're not releasing the tape.
I'm forever a fan, and understand that you have other things in the works for your advancement as a humanitarian and not only an emcee.
All my blessings on your climb. I'll be first in line to cop lasers.
PS- YOU SHOULD CHARGE THEM FOR THE NEXT ONE.
Respect the Mic.
-rivaflowz-
O.O is it cancelled for good? Or is it gonna be released later?
ReplyDelete---Behram18892
I was talking about this shit with my brother just the other day with my brother. Lupe Fiasco already has a lot of music out, but do you know how old most of his material is? He's so fucking stengy with his unreleased material, to be honest, his unreleased material is what actually keeps me a fan. His unreleased material SHITS on ANYTHING he's dropped COMMERCIALLY since The Cool. And for him to actually hype up this mix-tape and go cancel it on us, that's fucked up. He said it himself, but I didn't think he was that serious about it. They asked, "So Lupe you been in the studio lately?" LUPE REPLIED, "Recording music, hell no, I've been enjoying myself."
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty fucked up, he even said he's only in rap to "Travel" and "See the world."
I want that OLD Lupe Fiasco back, and I'm requesting more leaked material, MAY SOMEONE BLESS US.
Good luck on the climb Lupe! :D
ReplyDeleteThe people who are complaining are being so selfish. So you're not getting the mixtape right now...who cares? Lupe's doing something that will save lives and y'all are mad cuz you're not getting a few songs. Damn...
Thanks for telling us, Lupe.
ReplyDeleteGuys, you know what you should do?
Just stop whining, and wait. That's all it is with Lupe, good things do come to those who wait, so why not just wait. That's what we've all done with the past mixtapes and albums, it's just this time he's climbing Kilimanjaro for people without water. Would you climb Kilimanjaro like he is? That's what I thought, so shut your mouth.
You know, just like everyone else, I'm sad. But when something is cancelled or pushed back, I just throw on The Cool, or A Rhyming Ape, or Shining Down, or anything by Lupe, and maybe that's what you should do. Remember who the greatest artist in Hip Hop is.
Peace and Love
-Taha
Like someone said on the LupeFiasco.com site, I'm expecting some of you to be flying around the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in a helicopter...
ReplyDeleteLupe & Friends: *exhausted* WE MADE IT! FINALLY!
FAN: Where my mixtape at, nigga?
^LOL
ReplyDeleteahaha at June's comment, forreal.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah if you dont support the climb you don't support Lupe.
We'll just have to wait, until then i'll be listening to the Fahrenheits.
@d.swank; He said first single was dropping early January in an interview like a week or so ago.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see Lu make it to Kilimangaro alive. He's too amazing for words. I'm cool bumpin' the 100+ songs I have from him in my iPod. It's cool. I'm still a #1 fan. Always. No matter what.
ReplyDeleteLASERS
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow SERIOUSLY some of u lupe fans need to get a life
ReplyDeleteI would hate to have fans as annoying as ya lol
ReplyDeletecan't wait forlupes new music.peace
ReplyDelete"Watch the birds, watch Dr. Phil nigga. Chill nigga, go learn a skill nigga! Aight?"
ReplyDelete^very fitting... SWITCH.
LMAO@ JUNE
ReplyDelete"Lupe & Friends: *exhausted* WE MADE IT! FINALLY!
FAN: Where my mixtape at, nigga?"
you are too funny.
but yeah I'm a lil disapointed but I'm not gonna get all hyped up and crazy like some of yall...oh well the man has a life. I'm a fan but I'm not gon pester him about a mixtape...forget that I want a album, but i'll wait eitha way.
i swear some of yall act like your life revolves around lupe, please give him his nuts back and let him do him.
after readin these comments im embarassed to b a lupe fan
ReplyDeletehe got real fickle fans
and he got fans all on his dyck that will praise him no matter what
i'll believe everything bout lasers, the single, and the second album, when it actually drops, everything other than that is just talk
lol dudes gettin maaaad salty....jus bang EOTS till LASERS drops, how hard is that?
ReplyDeleteYou sure had time to do that Twilight song and video though...
ReplyDeleteHe said sorry. Time to move on! You guys can keep whining all you want but it's done.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone needs to listen to some Lupe to calm themselves down LOL
ReplyDeleteTo the people who are bitching shut the hell up! He don't have to make shit! He does what he wants, Don't like it go listen to something else! Lupe u do wat u do! You''ll see who's your true fans, the people who appreciate when u release new music, the same ones who don't bitch and whine when u don't.
ReplyDeleteQuit being so selfish people, those kids need clean water more than we need another mixtape!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL at the guy above me. That may be the greatest post in the history of this blog. Bravo bruh.
ReplyDeletekinda upset... not gonna lie, but i'd much rather him complete the mountain climb safely.
ReplyDeleteno worries Lu, you'll always be a friend of the [real] people ;]
this has gotten way outta hand on both sides...it should be completely understandable to be dissapointed that the mixtape is gone cuz now that new Lupe we all were expecting around Christmas is not gonna come. On the other hand it should be just as understandable that in the music biz things rarely happen on a set timeline. Cancellations and changes in dates happen all the time people.
ReplyDeleteI thought intelligent people listened to Lu. I guess everybody's got their buttons.
ReplyDeleteWould you people rather have Lupe die or get sick up on that mountain? He's gotta train. and to remind to what he is doing instead is not for himself finacially. He is climbing a mountain for CHARITY.
Yes,he did say he was going to release a mixtape and now he isn't going to. Don't humans make mistakes? Is Lupe not human? Isn't that why we love Lupe, because he is REAL and we can relate what what he raps about?
FORGIVENESS!
FNF UP!
To the person who said its illegal to sell mixtapes:
ReplyDeleteIt its NOT illegal to sell mixtapes... it is ILLEGAL to sell mixtapes with instrumentals that ARENT cleared.. meaning if the person who owns the license of the original beat lets u, then you are ALLOWED to do whatever... hence why Big Sean was allowed to sell his mixtape after Kanye pretty much allowed him to use Say You Will...
Also if a mixtape is completely original and you own the license to the beats, then again you are allowed to sell the tape... and as for being a jackass by paying for a tape, alot of times artists sell these tapes @ shows because people SUPPORT them.. if you support an artist, then paying like $5 for a mixtape shouldnt be much...
That is all
As salaamu alaykum,
ReplyDeleteMay I remind everyone that a mixtape is 1) Free of cost to the consumer and 2) Entertainment. It's FREE ENTERTAINMENT!!!! The artist has taken nothing away from you, the listener, and has instead made the sound decision to focus his charitable efforts on those who need it: indigent human beings in desperate need of water. Regardless of what the artist may have been going through, the would-be consumer has no legitimate reason to protest.
^Why do you feel you got somethin to prove to an idiot online? Let it breeze homie, you can only do so much.
ReplyDelete^^word
ReplyDeleteDisappointing. But I understand that the training is more important right now.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, Lupe needs to get back on the ball. Enemy of the State wasn't even CLOSE to the greatness of Fahrenheit 1/15 Parts 1,2 and 3. It wasn't even close to being the mixtape of 2009 either. I was disappointing with it to say the least.
Really Lupe needs to train? I thought he had 4 black belts. Kilimanjaro is a easy climb, it's more of hike. If you take the easy trail (which they are), its very easy and has a huge success rate. And training is no reason not to drop the mix-tape. Dissapointed
ReplyDeleteLupe responded in this post :cool
ReplyDeletetis' all.
ps. this should go down in history lol.
Forget Lupe, Jay Electronica said he's dropping something on Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLupe's loss is Jay's gain..
Jay Electronic > Lupe
Just be safe. Plenty of time for the mixtape and other projects. Real fans understand bro!
ReplyDeleteman stfu lupe wil destroy jay elec.
ReplyDeleteno offence to him but lupes still #1.
and saving lives is more important so all u pussys go cry somewhere else.
u aint real fans.
lupe > everyone.
lol anon took the bait.
ReplyDelete"If some of you aren’t aware yet, Lupe recently announced he’s not dropping Friend Of The People on X-Mas. Sucks, right? But that sting should only be temporary, as Jay called in to Shade45 to announce that Act II: Patents Of Nobility will drop that day."
ReplyDeleteD-Truth STFU yourself. Jay Electronica got the internet going nuts with that "Exhibit C" joint. THAT'S how you build/keep your buzz, not by failing to deliver on your promises like Lupe.
Jay Elect >>>>>>>>>> Lupe
^^ keepin promises??? wtf are u talkin about?? exhibit c is a old ass song, shits been out for months.. he only rekindled the flame by droppin the cdq version of it n puttin it on itunes. only reason jay elect gettin so much attention imo is cuz he has an unorthodox way of releasin music, like puttin out 2 minute videos n only the last 10 seconds bein a part of a new song, to keep niggas antsy
ReplyDeleteniggas STILL arguin??? "Why can't we be friends....?"
ReplyDeletehmmm......two new mixtapes within two months, i knew it was too good to be true.-_-
ReplyDeleteI wish that this entire post be deleted...Post comments almost reach 200 and 90% is negative,smh. We can do better!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSome guy mentioned that we should "bang EOTS until Lasers come out."
ReplyDeleteHow can we bang a mixtape that's composed of snippets?
x-x
Well in that case, you have two albums and three mixtapes to choose from. I'd recommend F&L and ROTN.
ReplyDeleteSo giving youre fans free music is 'wasting' songs?....why does it seem like a burden for him to give the fans who made him who he is now, music?...you have rappers far more popular than him like Wayne giving his fans 21 tracks mixtapes..and he doesnt complain about it, he embraces the opportunity....shyt he even gave his fans a 'thank you for listening' outro...and Lupe up here telling his fans to be grateful over a 20 minute mixtape...he tellin his fans to be greatful for him, when he should be greatful for his fans...i think the guy is rapping for the wrong reason, to me it doesnt seem he really enjoys rapping,, because if he didnt he wouldnt have a problem wuth giving his fans music....smh...sorr y for the rant...this just really woke me up to his 'appreciation' for his fans....
ReplyDeletesmh, ya better hope Lasers dont leak, if he misses his chance to go platinum or gold, or loses any type of money at all bcuz of a leak, he neva rappin again, even tho it isnt the fans fault...
ReplyDeletehmmm, why am i not surprised?...
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 1:53 a.m. 12/21-simple..press play. They may be "snippets" as you say, but they all have dope lyrics in them
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 11:35 a.m. 12/20-smdh"Forget Lupe, Jay Electronica said he's dropping something on
Christmas.
Lupe's loss is Jay's gain.
Jay Electronica > Lupe Fiasco
WOOOW...guess u werent a real fan to begin with...
Calm the f**k down and stop acting like Lupe owes you anything.
ReplyDeleteI was dissapointed as well, and looked forward to it, but you know, if it's lupe, there was a good reason to cancel it.
What he is trying to do with his music, yall should be fine with waiting, even if lasers dropped 2011. If you aren't fine with waiting, show me just ONE rapper who is trying to do the same for us like Lupe is trying to .. Until then, stop taking him for granted.
To the person who said it better be dropped in the first 2 weeks of January, Lupe will be on the Mountain the first two weeks Lol
ReplyDeleteman... if he did enemy of the state n 1 or 2 days, y couldnt he do this 1?!?!
ReplyDeleteenemy of the state was ok... but honestly it culdnt touch "no ceilings" in the aspects of quality an quantity... thats my opinion
Lupe murdered wayne. No Ceilings was a joke compared to Enemy of the State. What is hilarious is the fact that some people are saying Lupe half assed the mixtape. If you can do better, please show us!!! I stopped listening to No Ceilings about a month after it came out. Enemy of the State is on repeat, even after 2 1/2 months. And there is no way in hell that Lupe is commercial. Lupe, congrats on the climb. The only album I'm looking forward to this year is Lasers.
