Lupe Fiasco says his Enemy of the State mixtape was inspired by his omission from 2009's "Hottest MCs in the Game" list (we already knew that).
He made Enemy of the State in just 48 hours. "It was super easy. I did it in two days," he detailed. "Lasers was almost all done.
I said, 'Let me go out here.' 'Cause I knew none of that was on Lasers. Just the super 'I'm the best MC' — lyrical — there's wasn't really room for that on this album. I was like, 'Let me give my fans that. Let me let them know that I'm still capable of that. Let me show MTV I'm hot too.'
Kept it short. I felt, if you're nice, you don't need an hour. You don't need one hour and 35 minutes. You don't need 100 freestyles every week.
You need a nice demonstration of what you're capable of doing very effectively, and you step back. Leave you wanting more. Sometimes the best part of the movie is the trailer." - Read more on MTV.com

Did I hear that right, he's now calling Im Beaming a single?
ReplyDeleteyeh man, i was wondering what was goin' on
ReplyDeleteThey sure aren't treating it like a single, where's the video for it and the promotion?
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand what he means by "I a.k.a. then rocket land." in the "Say Something freestyle." Is he saying he is also known as 'then rocket land'? I don't get it. Can someone explain that please?
ReplyDeleteHe's destroy's every beat in suchhh a perfect way.
ReplyDeleteHe's some type of God, I'm convinced.
All love,
