Lupe Fiasco Cancelling His Mixtape Plans Again… DAMNIT
Posted in Major Artists, Music updates, News on January 29th, 2010 by B. Brown
Shouts out to Sound Society
Referring to Enemy of the State…
“I was plotting on doing the follow-up to that,” Lupe said. “Simply because [Enemy of the State] was short. And I felt like it was space to do another one. I was gonna do another one called Friend to the People, but I started to get wind that people had songs they shouldn’t have had. I was like, ‘This is just gonna open the floodgates if I come out with another record. I know these dudes are threatening to leak records and do crazy stuff.’ Sometimes I feel there may be too much Lupe music out there — whether it be old stuff or new stuff or freestyles. I don’t want to have a ton of music sitting out. I made the decision to fall back from it and really focus on the climb. We were a couple of weeks away from doing that”
DJ Absolute tape…
“With this Absolute tape, I had to tell him straight up, ‘We homeboys, and you got all this old music, but it ain’t time right now. It’s too much going on. It’s too many people with music they shouldn’t have, and I don’t want to get it clouded,’ ” said Lupe, who’s putting out his third LP, Lasers, this summer. The lead cut from the album, “I’m Beaming,” was recently leaked without Lupe’s consent.”
Lasers…
“There’s investigations going on,” he said. “So let’s just postpone that and wait until we got a clearer time to do it. Even with that, we’re going in to Lasers. The one thing I don’t want with that is confusion. I want the message to at least connect until we get to the release date. After that, we can do whatever. Right now, it’s Lasers time.”

WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE FUCKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY NIGGAS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SHIT ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. FUCK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SHIT, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!’ WELL FUCK YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER THEY SCORE! IT’S LIFE MY NIGGAS, IT’S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR APOLOGIES!!!
Mikkey Halsted x Rhymefest x Naledge x Really Doe x Mic Terror – The GO! Experiment (Trailer)
Posted in Upcoming Artists, Video on January 29th, 2010 by B. Brown
Shouts to Meka
Filmed in the Spring of 2009, The GO! Experiment will finally see the light of day, online, next week (2/1). We’ll be dropping a new segment everyday from Monday-Friday here on FSD.
For those who have been waiting on this project to drop, my apologies on the delay, we had a deal to release this in a different fashion, but we opted to go straight digital.
The GO! Experiment features many of Chicago’s best and brightest emcees in the same room at the same time freestyling together as a homage to the final episode of Yo! MTV Raps in 1995.
Peep the brand new trailer (courtesy of Davy Greenberg) above to get an idea of what to expect. Mikkey Halsted, Rhymefest, Naledge, Mic Terror, Really Doe and Cold Hard can be seen doing their thing.
