Video: "I'd like to make purely abstract music, the bar for me is Radiohead" ~ @LupENDBlog

While in Seattle, Lupe sat down with J Moore and DJ Hyphen at Kube 93 and had a lengthy conversation. Watch above as Lupe talks about his car collection, touring and keeping old songs in the vault.

Hit the jump where he reveals DJ Simonsays produced "Crack", working with Soundtrakk, Justice League, DJ Dahi, Trouble Trouble, Glasses Malone, and Luke James for Tetsuo & Youth, originally wanting the album to be 10 tracks, being turned down for collaborations because of his President Obama statements, relationship with Rick Ross, his writing process and alot more!

Mainstream vs underground, growing as an artist, balancing making art and money, talent vs technology.

The affects of the digital age, and wanting to make solely abstract music.

Bonus: Speaks about Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free).
