Video: Lupe Fiasco Talks Leaks, Lasers, Mixtapes
Lupe spoke to MTV and cleared the air on a couple topics. Firstly he says that he had plans to do a follow-up to the Enemy of the State mixtape, called “Friend of the People” – but he since found out that some of his songs from Lasers might leak and decided against it. He also says that he had to tell DJ Absolut not to drop that mixtape right now. He felt there might be too much of his music out right now.
Hit the jump to see Lupe perform I’m Beamin’ for the first time, live at The Shrine in Chicago.
Props to GWHH

Ezkay gonna cringe when he see all the Sean P hate
January 29th, 2010 at 11:30 am
sean p is nice, point blank, period…if you don’t like his music, you’re welcome to listen to wacka joe flacco lame….
January 29th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Yung Berg > Sean Price
Yung Berg has heart….he beefed with the best of them….Maino…Trick Trick…

yeah Sean P is that i-need-to-listen-to-rap-right-now/ill nigga on the corner rappin like he’s talking to you type rap. And thats rare these days.
the problem with these new niggas is that they got that same kind of straightforward flow but no bass in they voice and they a lil too clever, like it aint raw enough (Wale)
January 29th, 2010 at 11:35 am
Sean Price should of joined State P or D Block…
January 29th, 2010 at 11:35 am

Yes. Lupe doesnt make the type of music that you can oversaturate the market with…..you internet dudes need to step your business acumen up..especially the bloggers who be leakin shit and then cop plea’s about how they’re just helping with the artists promotion…the fuck does some IT douche know about business.
January 29th, 2010 at 12:03 pm

Dear Lupe,
Please accept that there is no way to stop leaks anymore. This is 2010. Deal with it.
That is all.

Lupe Fiasco….who is this clown…
He was hot in 2006 and 2005….Him and Papoose…were hot back then
Lupe Fiasco moves 8000 copies his first week…He will probably have 10000 itune downloads at the most.
Thats because Westside Chicago buys it….

You cant stop a record from leaking.
First you got the hackers who can get that shit.
Then there’s just human error. If an engineer is paid for a couple of exclusives then they will most likely sell the exclusives. You know you would.
The label will leak it sooner or later to just get a buzz for the album or the single.
Then it could just get stolen, studios have all sorts of people going in and out like cleaners, artists, mixers etc.
If Detox, BISD,BP3 all had leaks, what makes Lupe think hes any different?
January 29th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Lupe, u cornball. he and Drake need to just talk less and rap more.

January 29th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Jay has been associated with the free Masons for decades now. He has sold his soul in exchange for money and power. Puff also has done the same. For Jay to become king, biggie had to go. It was written, so it shall come to pass.
January 29th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
wale’s album wasn’t all that bad…didn’t live up to the mixtapes, but hip hop is so subjective, these days, since everybody raps now…
January 29th, 2010 at 12:16 pm

Jay and his Masonic rituals are attempting to infiltrate the youth with evil ideologies an satanic thoughts. He is controlled by the serpent.

Go sell clothes…skateboard….or paintings shit..
Rap/Hip-Hop is getting oversaturated…
January 29th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Jay-z is pure evil. All evidence points to this. All those associated with him are also Masons. Bill gates, Oprah, Obama, etcetera. We must remove the wool from our eyes. Before its too late…..it was written. ….
