New Lupe Coming Soon...Hopefully


The ever changing title of Lupe Fiasco's next album took yet another turn recently. Originally supposed to be LUPe.n.d., Lupe then claimed that particular album was canceled and his next project would be titled The Great American Rap Album, reported on first here at the Crick-Piece. Well it seems as if the album has once again had its titled changed by its fickle creator. Lupe took to the creeperish, stalker friendly, social networking website Twitter to reveal details on his new album, We Are Lasers.

Highlights of his various tweets about the album, include:
im producing on this one too...
Hmmm, Lupe producing, the only time the world has seen this was on the lone CRS song, US Placers, beat is straight, but it's pretty much a straight lift of the sample. Should be interesting to see what kinda talent Lupe has got on the boards.

not too many hip-hoppers on this one...got a slot for Bun B though...contemplating Cudi...Cudi is the best thing out...
Lupe and Bun have put together one dope song in the past, who's to say they can't do it again. Secondly, the more I listen to Cudi the more I may tend to agree with Lupe. Don't think hes touching Blu or Wale in terms of lyricism but a collabo between Lu and Cu?! I'm not gonna jinx it.

still aiming for two this year though...
Two Lupe albums in one year? Once again I'm not gonna jinx it.

soundtrakk is soooo dope...i mean niggas talk bout weak production but how many beatmakers sitting on 4 grammy nod in less than 3 years???

I concur, Soundtrizzy is dopesesh. Kick Push, Sunshine, Go Gadget are all heatrocks but very diverse.

Lupe then went on to stream some live footy of himself in the studio, and even played a new track called Shining Down featuring Mathew Santos, of Superstar fame. Unfortunately for us the entire earth fell asleep at this moment and no one was alive to record the damn thing, leaving us without a new Lupe track. I have scoured the entire internet and the only person who supposedly heard the song was a SOHH.com poster, here's what he had to say:

"Lupe Fiasco - "Shining Down" (feat. Matthew Santos)was just played on this live stream from his studio. **** SOUNDS SO DOPE.
Gunna be bigger than superstar!
(As soon as someone gets a rip or if someone recorded it I'll post)"


It's been about 7 hours since this post and there is no sign of Shining Down. So we wait...
