After finishing up his Generation Laser tour Lupe went back to his hometown of Chicago and is currently taking part in one of the Global Day of Occupation gatherings.
Lupe gotta do his action instead of saying y'know. Lasers is definitely not the best. It isn't trash though since it wasn't a noise and it was music with meanings at least. I'm considering about getting that occupy shirt if it's sold anywhere online. Lol. X D
lol @ people defending LASERS now. Pretty soon people are going to start calling it classic.
Lasers is label vs artist and the end result is trash end of story. If people knew lasers was going to be what it is nobody would have protested for it. REAL TALK. You know what I mean? You fell me son?
i digg that hoodie he rocking....cant blame lu for everything on the album give that man a break...he gives you guys enough to last until the next album comes...extra thirsty smh
"If people knew lasers was going to be what it is nobody would have protested for it. REAL TALK. You know what I mean? You feel me son?"
i think you are missing the point...people protested for lasers because they fought for what lupe stood for. positive lyrics..positive music..something that could inspire others and stand up for something they believe in..that's what its all abt..lasers may not be as good as first two albums..but its still positive..it's still defines who lupe is as a person..
All I have to say is this, If I knew LASERS was going to be what it was I wouldn't have been as enthusiastic about Atlantic releasing it. I probably would have still signed the petition and protested for it, but it would only be because Lu is my favorite artist and so that he could move on to his next project.
@^ everyone got different taste of music so you can't always "see how people didn't like it". Just like we are not supposed to understand the reason why you loved it. I know what he is able to do. That one of the reason why didn't like lasers.
Hey guys, I love lupe and made a page dedicated to his cool album. If you guys have some time, come check it out. http://www.squidoo.com/the-cool-album
Soundtrakk. Lupes main producer wasn't even on the album. Lasers was garbage. You know Lasers wasn't Lupe and if you think different then you are just a dickrider. Think about it what if Lupes first album was Lasers. Would you think it was good?
I have no problem if people like Lasers. I do however have a problem with people calling it GREAT. I wouldn't want Lupe to make a 'Lasers 2.' If Lupe had FULL control over Lasers it would sound completely different from what is now. Not even half the things on the Lasers Manifesto is even touched on the actual album. You can like Lasers, but don't go calling it great and a classic. Cheeeaahh! You feel me niggas? I ain't on dat ol' spite ful shit ya dig? Jus givin my 2 cents iiight? Aye yo real talk, no walk, no joke.
dawg he went from being my favorite artist and rapper ever, to nothing in 6 months. all those rants and bitching he was doing, i used to say he was the best and defend him now when people say hes shit i agree....nigga is a rapper, come out with mixtapes
If people that loved LASERS are dick riders then the people that hated it are bandwagon haters. Only fair, right??
Who gives a fuck if somebody liked it/loved it/hated it? Who cares? Lupe certainly doesn't, and he's still out there performing those songs to sold out crowds on tour. Stop hating on the man just because he got fame . . . because we all know that's what it is. As soon as a nigga comes up, people try and bring him back down.
I've been a Lupe fan since '06. He's the best rapper alive. Period. It's not only because his flow and wordplay is years ahead of the game . . . he actually lives what he raps. His message hasn't changed over the years even if his sound might have. I won't sit here and say LASERS was great because it wasn't, but you're a fool if you think the ENTIRE album was garbage. I believe Letting Go was one of his best songs EVER, but that's just me . . .
Anyway, to sum it all up . . . the people hating and dissing Lu and others for their OPINION completely missed the train. If you hate him or his music or our opinions so much . . . why are you even here? STFU or GTFO.
After re-reading the rest of the comments I only found 2 anon comments that can be taken as a 'diss' to Lu. So I don't know where this 'you hatin on lu cuz he got fame and u jealous and just want 2 bring him back down' nonsense is coming from.
I as as well as everyone that dislikes/hates Lasers knows that not every single freaking song on the album is garbage. There are a couple of songs in there that I like and have in my ipod since the album released. But that doesn't mean I don't think the album is trash though.
And I love when people say if hate Lupe's music GTFO. Have you not read the countless comments about F&L and The Cool being classics? If you like LASERS good for you. But don't go getting mad because people are expressing their hate for the album. Just as you can express how much you like Lasers, I can express how much I hate it. Simple and short nigga.
smh dude don't even care about making good music anymore, get back in the studio dawg and make up for Lasers
ReplyDelete^^^STFU
ReplyDeleteLasers was a great album, so were F&L and The Cool. This is what his music is about.
^^^STFU
ReplyDeleteLasers was a trash album. F&L and The Cool were classics though.
But yeah, Lu should be at these #occupy events as that is what is his music is about. Lasers is trash though.
YUMMY :)

Hey so are the shows in princeton and Rhode Island still going on since he said the tour ended in oakland?
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is this, If I knew LASERS was going to be what it was I wouldn't have been as enthusiastic about Atlantic releasing it. I probably would have still signed the petition and protested for it, but it would only be because Lu is my favorite artist and so that he could move on to his next project.
ReplyDeleteLASERS was a great album!
ReplyDeletestate run-great message
beautiful lasers- a very deep personal track
letting you go-another deep emotional/personal track
words i never said-THE NWA/PUBLIC ENEMY ANTHEM!, that song right there put lupe at Chuck D status!
show goes on-studio produced, but still good none the less song, great message.
all black everything-classic lupe
out of my head- equivalent to "go baby"
Lasers was amazing....i dont see how people didn't like it
@^ everyone got different taste of music so you can't always "see how people didn't like it". Just like we are not supposed to understand the reason why you loved it. I know what he is able to do. That one of the reason why didn't like lasers.

ReplyDelete""LASERS was a great album!""
ReplyDeleteNo it is not. Food and Liquor is a great album. The Cool is a great album. Lasers is mediocre.
Soundtrakk. Lupes main producer wasn't even on the album. Lasers was garbage. You know Lasers wasn't Lupe and if you think different then you are just a dickrider. Think about it what if Lupes first album was Lasers. Would you think it was good?
ReplyDeleteI'm really starting to think that cheeaahh is Lupe...
ReplyDeleteCheeaahh = Lupe
ReplyDeleteLupe stop playin I know that is u
I have no problem if people like Lasers. I do however have a problem with people calling it GREAT. I wouldn't want Lupe to make a 'Lasers 2.'

ReplyDeletelol @ people thinking cheeaahh is lupe fiasco.
dawg he went from being my favorite artist and rapper ever, to nothing in 6 months. all those rants and bitching he was doing, i used to say he was the best and defend him now when people say hes shit i agree....nigga is a rapper, come out with mixtapes
ReplyDeleteLu is a real ass dude. If that scares some people away, oh well.
ReplyDeleteITS BIGGER THAN HIP-HOP FOOLS
ReplyDeleteWe should have a petition or page to prevent a "Lasers 2"
ReplyDeleteWHERE CAN I GET THAT HOODIE HE'S WEARING FROM
