After releasing two albums, Food and Liquor (Greatest Thing of All Time (The Departed)) and The Cool (Soooo Sick), Lupe Fiasco stated that he would release one more album before retirement. Much to the dismay of his fans Lupe said he was sick of the music industry, and announced on The Cool that his final album would be entitled LUPe.n.d. Members of his cult like following were seen jumping off buildings and leading mass suicides due to their new purposeless life. Lupe, being the humanitarian he is, gave in to his fans wishes... kind of. In November Fiasco announced that LUPe.n.d. would be a TRIPLE album. Everywhere, Nowhere, and Down There would be the respective titles for the three albums. Lupe fans rejoiced and danced in the streets for months. Personally I was a little disappointed. I actually think Lupe can be a little too ambitious at times, and I just wanted him to sit down and make one more focused 12-14 song album the likes of Be or Illmatic. Anyways moving on, Lupe wasn't done with the LUPe.n.d. news. A few weeks ago Lupe revealed that his final album has been suspended until further notice. Don't believe me, click here.
"Due to circumstances beyond my control...the album roll out has changed radically...LUPE.N.D. has been postponed indefinitely!!!
As a matter of fact consider it cancelled until further notice!!!"
*Hardcore Lupe Fans Shoot Themselves*
"OK..so what now???

5. Song #5
6. Song #6

11. The Greatest Rap Song Ever Made"
So as it turns out, an album is still coming. That's all that really matters to me. LupE.N.D. may still be on its way as Lupe goes on to say: "See ya'll in June and again in December and again next June...
LupE.N.D. right after that...when the liberation comes!!!..."
Ok, let me get this straight. So The Great American Rap Album is coming out in June, then something else in December(possibly CRS!!! OMG!!!), then LUPe.n.d. next June. So in short Lupe is coming out with 75 more albums. Damn, I wish more of my favorite rappers would retire.
