The date was Oct. 15th but the day was a Friday. So today, 1 year ago, the Fiasco Friday protest went down in front of the Atlantic Records headquarters in New York.
Instead of writing a whole bunch of stuff I'll just post a few links for you to check out, to look back and reminisce.
The album turned out to be crap but that was expected. If we never protested LASERS would not be out meaning we wouldn't be getting F&L2 next year... and yeah STILL no friend of the people :(
I'm glad people are acknowledging that Lasers was pretty bad. The protest is only meaningful today because it opened the gateway to F&L2. Aside from that we have literally gotten nothing.
I was a listener before L.A.S.E.R.S., but after Fiasco Friday. I'm guessing that I'm a new fan, but oh well. FOTP will be worth it with the 2 delay it already gotten it. :[ Lasers was not a bad album, but definitely doesn't live up to Lupe's ability. One thing though that still remained in Lasers that made it not "AWFUL" is that it still had those "messages". It's "real" music and not a noise (MAYBE SOME CHORUS WERE.).
oh my gosh!!! one year already? TIME FLIES!!
