We Are Lasers

Grammy Award winning rapper Lupe Fiasco has taken to the social networking microsite, Twitter, to announce some changes about his third album. After originally planning a three-disc work tentatively titled LupEND, Lupe has changed course and plans to name the upcoming album We Are Lasers.

"'We Are Lasers'...comes from some repressed high school outcast shit...blended amidst 'And He Gets The Girl' ambitions," Lupe tweeted over the weekend. Initial reports point to the album being a close-knit affair featuring the rest of his 1st & 15th family, with his longtime producer Soundtrakk handling most of the production.

Aside from name checking a few of his current favorites, including Kid Cudi and the aforementioned Soundtrakk, Lupe didn't provide any other musical details. Although he did add that he would not likely be continuing the string of successful mixtapes, stating, "I don't feel I have to do mixtapes anymore...I think that point was proven..."

So I don't know If Lupe is still going to do two following albums in December 2009 and June 2010 after this one or not anymore. Also, after that is he still going to drop LupEND at the end of his career? I just hope Lupe isn't forcing himself to put out music because of Atlantic. It just seem that way to me because he was wanting his next album to be his last which was pose to be titled LupEnd, but that was canceled. I'm not sure why LupEnd was canceled but if I had to guess it would have to be because of Lupe's contact with Atlantic and they wasn't going to let him finish with just three albums. That's just my guess so don't go around staying that true because it just a hypothesis that hasn't been publicly been proven. (that I know of) I hope Lupe isn't forcing his music because in my opinion I don't ever think it a good idea for artist to force his work. I believe you should not be pressured and they should have their heart into there work and if their heart is not into it anymore they shouldn't do it anymore. plain and simple. I feel like that how Lupe is right now because he said he tried of rapping and he want to do other things. But unfornately, the music industry is full of dictator that just want it their way and they only care about the money a artist makes and not the artist. So Lupe has no choice but to deal with it. In conclusion, I can't wait for We Are Lasers to drop! I will most definitely cop it and bang the shit out of it on my iphone.
