not suprised 1 bit...

good luck wit ya climb tho lu, hiphop has an empty throne waitin for u when u come back down...

Anonymous said...

this is why i can't be fucking with this nigga like that. He stay talking out his ass. If you know you gonna be climbing a fucking mountain why the fuck you gonna get ya fans hyped up for a mixtape then cancel it 7 days before its release. This nigga stay doing shit like this and yall dudes sit here and accept it like "its understandable" no fuck that! This nigga need to start treating his fans with some god damn respect. He don't release music like that anyway. SMH

Vince said...

well damn...mr anonymous up there ^^ is mad...

you cant predict the future...good wishes Lupe.

Bshrop said...

Woah @Anonymous 9:59

He JUST dropped a mixtape Thanksgiving, he has an album coming out early 2010, and is climbing a fucking mountain for a good cause!! You don't see many other hip hop artist doing shit like that, now do you? How many artist do you see even replying to internet boards and blogs!? Get the fuck on. If this kinda shit turns you away from an artist music then you need to grow up.

Do your thing Lupe

Anonymous said...

anonymous is sort of right, he new well ahead of time that he was doing the mixtape and the mountain climbing

Anonymous said...

man wtf are yall talking bout? the only time lupe be coming on these boards to talk to yall is to scold yall for listening to music that he ain't leak. I fucks with lupe but he be doing some dumb shit sometimes. And that last mixtape he dropped was half assed

Ben Kracker said...

It's lightweight dirty, I understand how important the climb is, but I was really pumped for this mixtape. This single off lasers better drop like within the first two weeks of January or i'm ganna be real salty. I talk Lupe up so much to my friends that are on Wayne's dick and then Lupe doesn't drop anything. It's lightweight dirty that's all.

Bshrop said...

ridiculous...that's all I can say.

So if he doesn't drop the single soon, what are ya'll going to do? nothing! patience niggas...it's not like he didnt say he wasn't dropping the album anymore. Clearly the man has had a pretty busy year.

And Lupe did all Enemy of the State in like a day or two. To even drop a mixtape is great since he said he wasn't going to do anymore after his last one.

Hlynkinn said...

at least he let us know... in the old days we would wait until 25th.. and nothing would happen... then we would wait 2 more weeks... until we understood it was never gonna be released :D

datkid1220 said...

damn, angry ass Anonymous character act like he paid for the shit already. aight we understand u was anticipatin it like every1 else, but would u rather he spend all his time in the studio to make a FREE mixtape, then die when he climbs the mountain cuz he wasnt prepared?? then he'll neva be able to release music. some of u dickheads act like spoiled lil bitches. nothin is owed to u...

Anonymous said...

EveRybody STFU & qO watch Fr0sty The Snowman its 0n cbs ch.2

aNd let Lupe do his thing that climb is alot of work he dnt jus sit around 0n his ass all day like u quys s0 b patient and happy holidays 1

Anonymous said...

@datkid: the nigga knew he was gonna be climbing a fucking mountain so why the fuck would he get us hype taking bout "yea i plan to go in this time" and all he did was drop a half assed mixtape. Yall dick heads could stand there and let lupe jerk yall around but imma say something about it. Lupes not dumb. what ever happened to "yea i been the studio all day recording" what happened to the nigga "sudden inspiration" Lupe be pulling shit like this all the time b, thats why i don't be believing him fully when he be saying shit.

Anonymous said...

and i hope he make it safe on the mountain climb. but i'm still pissed.

fred said...

lupefiasco

DON'T WORRY!!! SO MUCH MUSIC COMING IN 2010. JUST GET READY... 10 minutes ago from web

pv1 said...

Please correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't the first time he's delayed a project. When people tell me they're going to do something I expect them to keep their word or else I'm gonna be pissed. I understand the Anons' dickiness.


That said, training is more important. You know, human life is more important. As far as I'm concerned, he's not like Tupac or Biggie(dead rappers that keep spitting hot fiah long after they died...)

randyfnrocks said...

yall cant lie anon is right man lupe is raw but he dont release nothin for two years then release a 20 min mixtape and then say he makin another one on christmas and all these tweets sayin he in the studio workin on this and that how he workin on his next album already but cant do his mixtape

datkid1220 said...

tell me this tho, name 1 thing ur losin by him not droppin the mixtape??

he got 3 weeks to train to climb a mountain almost 4 miles high in negative degrees tempature. idgaf if he promised 1 song 6 months in advance. a man has to have his priorities straight, n i think ull agree that u would put ur life b4 a fuckin mixtape, whether he promised it or not.

randyfnrocks said...

we losin new music

pv1 said...

Trust?

Anonymous said...

Alright and like i said if you know you climbing a mountain why would you get ya fans hyped up for some new music? Thats makes no sense he should"ve been training for the longest if the climb was that important. Its not what i'm losing its what hes losing. I want lupe to get his shine,more shine than Wayne but thats gonna be hard to get when you can't keep your schedule on track and release some music.

pv1 said...

Quality over quantity. Agreed?

Bshrop said...

Ahh this shit is so crazy to me.

Like datkid said ya'll niggas haven't paid for nothing!!

be lucky he released a mixtape during Thanksgiving!

He has 19 days before he climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro! What have YOU been doign with YOUR life besides bitching about some mixtape? He released a 20min mixtape that is better than just about enything that's come out this year IMO...and he did it in a day!

I mean i'm hurt that the tape isn't dropping, but i'm not going to stop supporting the man and say he's "jerking" me around. Stop your bitching and crying.

Anonymous said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you guys dont understand.. i was counting down the days for this mix tape on my calendar. i never get anything good for christmas, i was looking forward to a good mixtape.

LUPE STOLE CHRISTMAS!

Anonymous said...

What a fucking disappointment. This asshat can't keep his word if his life depended on it. You knew you were gonna be climbing the damn mountain for a while, so why not plan your shit better?

I don't care that he just dropped some shit on thanksgiving, either. That was just commercial garbage that lasted 22 minutes.

You're not making any lists if you pull shit like this.

Anonymous said...

@bshrop or bitch boy. nigga nobody siad we wasn't gonna support his music but the nigga need to start keeping his word. AND WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING OTHER THAN SUCKING LUPES BALLS OFF AND SACRED TO CALL HIM OUT?

June said...

LOL @ "Lupe stole Christmas"...seriously!

Some of you are really crying right now. Everyone makes valid points, but to call someone a "dick" or an "asshole" because they cancelled a mixtape? You didn't even know about the mixtape until three weeks ago.. and Lupe has been working hard. I mean really, he's working on the album AFTER Lasers.. respect. And some of you are acting like he hasn't been doing anything since the Cool.. do you realize that he JUST ended a two year international tour? I mean, damn, I'm disappointed too, but he's about to climb a mountain and then go even harder than he did with the Cool... it has got to be taking a toll on him. I'm wishing for the best.


....AND STOP COMPARING LUPE TO WAYNE!

randyfnrocks said...

aint nobody said they was going to stop supporting the nigga just that its fucked up he promised a mixtape on christmas and canceled it damn if he could do eots in a day y he couldnt do fotp instead of workin on a album that aint comin out till after lasers

pv1 said...

Only an Anon would compare Lupe to the Grinch ("LUPE STOLE CHRISTMAS!)...

Bshrop said...

^Yes cause there is no comparison lol.

Thank you June...people act like he's just been sitting around scratching his balls (excuse me) since The Cool

Steven said...

This nigga be tweeking lol

the way ur complainin, u probably gon hate Lupe now so just stop complainin, u ain't changin no ones mind about him

An Unsung Hero said...

It's bittersweet to me.

I love Lupe Fiasco to death. His music brings calmness to me. I just can't ignore the fact that he did say Lasers would drop Fall, then Winter, then January. Same thing with Army Girl coming out "4th Quarter". I remember actually questioning everyone in a comment on a later entry on this blog asking do you guys ACTUALLY think Army Girl would drop "4th Quarter" and the album in Winter. He went in to correct/answer to confirm, "YES, Army Girl will drop 4th quarter and Lasers will be out Winter". Similar story with "Shining Down", it had to get leaked. GOD only knows when we would have seen that track if it didn't leak. It sucks when he does that because people really anticipate his music, then when it's grind time-there's nothing to show for it but a push back or...NOTHING. So how am I supposed to feel when early 2010 comes? 2009 didn't work, "4th Quarter" didn't work. Yea I get angry, and I highly doubt Lupe would understand our end of the situation. People need his music as well as society.

Nevertheless, Lupe train well, train hard, may Allah/GOD be with you on your climb of M.K. I'll be waiting when you come back down bro.

(_-){ said...

This is a sad day! Can't he just realease it earlier?

June said...

Unsung Hero, very well said.

HaTTaKiLLaZ said...

It was expected, i knew something like this was gonna happen. Just wish he wouldnt say anything if he wasnt sure. Just build hypes then let downs for his fans.

Lupe... said...

Oh please...stop whining...

niggaz catching feelings over this?

: /

mixtapes are easy...climbing a giant mountain is hard...

just hope you don't have to pay for the next one...if there is a next one...

Thanx for the love...

Anonymous said...

June -- you are super duper cuteee lol

umm... anyway yeahh Lupe Stole Christmas and i will now get a pair of socks again for Christmas with nothing to listen to because Lu didnt come through

Watch LASERS even get pushed back to the Summer of 2010

J said...

Unsung Hero basically sums it all up perfectly.

And yes, we do pay. we buy his albums, pay for his concert tickets, his clothes. We support his music. As fans its aggravating to be given dates and promises and having them renigged.

It was May, summer, fall, winter, january, 2010.....shinning down took ages....army girl was 4th quarter...i'm a fan....but come on.....People who commented in here just responded to the way "anonymous" delivered his message. Unsung hero calmed it down and made it reasonable.

no excuses....

but good luck to him

An Unsung Hero said...

I smellt that ownage from him around the corner.

Anonymous said...

Lupe can you at least make up for your blunder by giving us some info on what will be on the album, who will be on it, and/or anything about the single?

ANYTHING! My ears feel naked and they need to be clothed by the beautiful vibrations of your music.

J said...

If that last comment was Lupe, then i'd like to make a suggestion for the next mixtape name..

How about Enemy of the people?

Anonymous said...

sigh* this is a disappointment, I was expecting the mixtape to release..I listen to lupe's songs to get through a stressful day..hopefully FOTP will be an addition..but it is completely understandable... in 2010 lupe will right is wrongs...and blow our minds with LASERS...GL with your climb

Lupe... said...

Also if you have issues with things being pushed backed all the time send a letter to:

Atlantic Records
1290 Avenue Of The Americas
NY, NY

It aint all me folks...I got bosses just like the employed among you have bosses...

Albums are done...records are sitting...when they are ready to put them out...then they'll be out...same story for every artist signed to major label...

I fight the fights that I can but if you guys feel like you can do better then by all means...the address is above...

SameName said...

I AM TIRED TIRED TIRED OF THIS SHIT! WASALU MUHAMMAD JACO U NEED TO STOP BULL SHITTING! ALL THE FANS LIKE MYSELF HAVE BEEN DOING THEIR PART TELLING ALL THEIR PEOPLE BOUT EOTS AND FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE AND ITS NOT JUST THIS ITS ALL UR BULL SHIT I MEAN LASERS GOT PUSHED BACK LIKE 10 TIMES AFTER U CANCELED GREAT AMERICAN RAP ALBUM AFTER U CANCELED LASERS!!!!!STOP! DONT TELL ME LASERS OR SHIT WILL DROP UNTIL ALL THE STORES HAVE IT!!!STOP!

randyfnrocks said...

damn lupe sound like niggas i know at least u can tell he really is a hood nigga if that counts for anything

Luwhoelse said...

LUPE THANK YOU,

thats what ive been telling these fanatic idiots. LUPE DOES NOT GET TO DECIDE WHEN HE RELEASES HIS MUSIC. Its all about Atlantic Records and their money making ways of doing things. They will maximize profits by any means necessary. Stop blaming Lupe.

An Unsung Hero said...

Lupe shouldn't even comment, it's blowing me that he is because he doesn't have to answer to none of us. That's why have of you all need to shut the hell up. It's a part that Artist/Major Record Labels wont understand as well as fans wont. Keep going back forth with this shit, to me you guys are just sitting here twiddling his thumbs.

pv1 said...

Like a wise man once said,

Plus a lot of greediness
And that greed, outshines the neediness

Anonymous said...

not surprised, we talkin bout lupe here. he talk out his ass all the time

An Unsung Hero said...

And on the real, I'm scared for Lupe's life lol. This is 19,000+ feet. This isn't a hike through a rainforest or Himalayas. People should analyze what in the actual hell he's doing.

SameName said...

MAN FUCK THAT MT. SHIT THIS MAN IS A RAPPER!

J said...

lets get those letters poppin then

amirah. said...

I agree with An Unsung Hero...and I bet people are even more heated by what Lupe just said. Get over it...it's a mixtape! I know...this stuff has happened before, but come on...if you have a problem, don't comment anonymously on a fan blog about it. we should be lucky he put out enemy of the state. for us to be heated over him not putting out another mixtape (a whole month after eots was released, mind you) is pretty petty. calm down. let him climb mt. kilimanjaro. help him stay focused on this climb. his life is more important than a mixtape.

be safe on that climb lu!

Lupe... said...

Bullshit?

Nigga please...I do A LOT for my fans...NEVER charged for a mixtape...2 hour concerts when i'm paid to do an hour...Keepin it REALER than a muthafucka instead of taking the sucka mc route...

I cancel a mixtape to climb a mountain for a charity that literally saves lives and i'm an asshole and a dick???...What type of fan is that???...i dont want a fan like that...support me the same way that I would support you...

i mean come on people...the name of the tape was FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE!!!...NOT SLAVE OF THE MASSES!!!

Cut that spoiled punk shit out...

2 albums on the way and niggaz is whining...

jeez...

pv1 said...

Yeah, forget about people in need of H2O and food. It's all about us. Why should we worry about poor people? Let them figure out their own problems...




Come on guys, it's just music.

kash said...

damnnnnn samename cool your jets man
listen to the man, he does got a point though (not on his balls or anything) Atlantic does have the final say in his stuff. I mean true it was a littttle salty for him to say its comin out on dec 25th, and i'm just as disappointed as anyone else, but you dont see me crying about it. He has to get his priorities straight, and i'm PRETTY sure that climbing Mt kilimanjaro for a global water crisis is alot more important than releasing a mixtape (which we should all be happy is even dropping) to us fans. Just chill out, not like arguing is gonna change anyones opinions, we all gotta wait, just like lu gotta wait till LASERS drops..

Ben Kracker said...

hey listen dudes, I didnt compare lupe to wayne ever so come off that stuff! Also im not sayin anything like Im not going to support him now, Lu is and always will be my favorite artist. I need his music like i need air, ya dig. Another thing, he has a single dropping in early 2010. He said flat out, verbatim, "there is NO release date for Lasers" so come off talkin like its ganna drop anytime soon.

J said...

It comes with the title of entertainer though....even though what you're saying is right...

the point of an entertainer is to entertain....its especially more difficult when you're held on a certain pedistal....

If you put out great product and something cancels it, fans will naturally be upset...


If you're wack and cancel...niggas just wont care...

SameName said...

just get your dates right THATS IT!

kash said...

you can tell the Anon's are just being trolls now, they arent even making any sense

An Unsung Hero said...

Lupe please stop commenting these people don't deserve no answers man!

SameName said...

i know the whole industry shit {from being a fan of lupe} and i didnt cry over what happen with lupend or great american or lasers or any of the other stuff that i forgot about because i'm fan but i am crying over this cuz this is just crazy! i CAN NOT change anything so someone just please just tell when Lasers is in stores!

randyfnrocks said...

damn almost make me want to delete my comments im not whining though i was lookin forward to the new mixtape and was kinda mad it got canceled i know lupe do alot for his fans niggas just get a little disapointed when shit dont come out when its supposed to

An Unsung Hero said...

Man now I'm tight, this type of shit makes an artist not want to do anything. Everyone who had some ill shit to say needs to bounce. I can't believe it escalated like this, fucking ridiculous.

amirah. said...

lol thanks June for posting that link.

vote for "solar midnite" on 106&park!

An Unsung Hero said...

On the real, I had the opportunity to speak to this guy and interacted with him through out a whole concert at Towson. He set my life. He can chill and sip Sangria for that matter.

Dnaiel said...

Alot of you guys are being pretty damn ungrateful. It's a free mixtape, stop complaining.

Ben Kracker said...

Hey but Lupe, I hope you see this. You killed Enemy of the State like on some true shit. I like how you spit on that last verse of "National Anthem." You pulled that old school "Real Recognize Real" feel back, I like that. Same with the first 20 secs of "Thank You." But look yall the Game was lookin weak, the whole scene staved. Lu came with that muscle milk and them protein bars. You still got my whole heart Lu.

B-Winnizle said...

Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I totally understand. I want Lu to be super ready to climb that mountain. Hell, I bet Lupe get's so inspired from the project he'll write a whole mixtape while he is on it.
He should title it "Lupe Fiasco: Kilim' Man!" or "Go Kilim' on the Mountain" Haha

Anyways, don't let some of these people let you think that your fans don't love you, because we do. You have always been incredible to us and we totally realize and sincerely appreciate that. Thank you.

2010- Revenge Begins...

everybody relax

LASERS comin out 2015

The next album comin out 2017

be patient yall!

Anonymous said...

Damn Im dissapointed. Oh well. Can't wait till Lasers you all know it will be worth the wait.

HaTTaKiLLaZ said...

I guess im cool with a lil setback as long as the album and mixtapes are good.

Didnt particularly like enemy of the state, some good lyrics but seem liked he didnt really put work into it. Like his other mixtapes.

Anonymous said...

Lupe, you're slowly being forgotten and being left in the dust man. I hope you still have a sense of urgency.

Ryan T said...

hey man we got two albums on the way, it is understandable that people would be mad because of a promised mixtape and now its deleted. but hey if they didnt love lupe as much as a rapper they wouldnt be all mad now would they??? Everyone on here is a fan of Lupe otherwise they wouldnt have a reaction to it....anyways everyone needs to chiillllllll Lupe will bless us in 2010!

fred said...

idk why people actin like they gonna die without the mixtape...chill

no doubt i was dissapointed too but it was just a mixtape. if you really gonna sit there and cry, go listen to someone that puts out songs everyday that are awful, instead of someone that puts out meaningful songs that we listen to for years and never get tired of...

Sdot said...

yo real wrap this site hasnt be this poppin since last month thanks lupe for the resurge. Alot of people have good points about the push backs and time tables upsetting them. It perfectly natural for people to get aggie, on the comments. When i saw the post i was tight for a quick second but before the post something had already told me that the tape wasnt coming on christmas. It sucks cuz that what i told my mom all i wanted AS a present , now ill tell her the new J's. Its all well. just be safe on the mountain man 4miles up is a task. Clean water for the motherland is definitely more important that a tape. Much Love BRother

Lasers in 2010. Just Drop that Single.

spgregory said...

if you going to talk ish least put your name behind it...lupe has bragged about his good fans but half of you commenting are a piece of shit

Steven said...

As long as you come our with 2 albums or 1 album/1 mixtape next year, Lupe, I'll be happy

...and pick up Demarco again lol

...please

Ben Kracker said...

^^^ 'ey but true dat.
I listen to "the cool", "food and liqure" and every other bit of lupe i have like everyday. I have never even thought of getting tired of it. Its on a personal level, dudes lyrics are lightweight my life set to a beat. Ya Dig. Lot's of love to my man Lupe!

Fuck those people that need water!


Lupe is MY water.


And a nigga be parched :/

Wilzer said...

Wow. Not wow @ Lupe, but @ at you guys.

We got Enemy of the State only last month, we're getting a new single in a few weeks. AND we're getting two new albums in 2010. And everyone wants to kill Lupe just because he canceled a MIXTAPE. A free mixtape at that. Now I was excited for it too, but it's not anything to get angry over, guys.

2010 is gonna be the year...

now that i'm calm i'd like to say that all that was cuz i love lupe music that much. I really want some new lupe material. good luck with ur climb and ur fight against atlantic just to drop ur stuff...SEE YOU AT THE NEXT CONCERT IN THE DMV AREA!

Anonymous said...

cmon people...Lupe is dedicating an action out of the ordinary of ALL the artists out there..there is only a hand full of mc/rappers i know that will commit there time to climb KJ for a prestigious cause..i bet Lupes intentions to releasing LASERS is to been soon as possible, just like the rest of us..also ARMY GIRL as a first single(possibly since schedule for 4q, however the man is constricted on his decisions..by his record company..WE got to realize the little things he sacrifices for his fans..just as lupe stated..getting paid less for what he preforms, ect. ..just give him some time.. and we will get what we want... APPLAUDS TO you LUPE... keep it LEGIT

Lawfer said...

I don´t really see the big deal here, its a just mixtape. Now, if it was Lasers I would have been pissed... or not.

Anyway, I don´t know why you are so surprised/angry Lupe? Whether its your fault or not, you DO have a bad reputation when it comes to release music on the day you announced, or release it whatsoever.

I´ll wait until 2020 if I have to, good luck with he climb! An forget all the noise...

Anonymous said...

why people so surprised at the reactions

-people like lupe

-lupe tells people mixtape comin

-mixtape canceled

-people that like lupe get frustrated

that is to be expected

nIANja909 said...

lool. Ya'll dudes are crazy. I feel like ni***as gonna commit a mass suicide up in this joint cause Lu ain't release the tape.

There is a reason "Fan" is short for "Fanatic". And that reason would be, people gettin all hyped up when a mixtape gets pushed back.

You say you're savin lives with this climb Lu, but what about when the lives of the innocents these dudes are gonna start goin homicidal on if they don't get a mixtape lol.

nIANja909 said...

What about the lives of the innocents*

Anonymous said...

Lupe, don't let these niggas get to you. It seems as though you're affected by them. Know there are fans that will wait, and support the cause you're supporting and understand why you are doing what you are doing.

People, this climb is more then music. Lupe is making a statement. He's not just a rapper, he's a humanitarian.

He obviously cares more about the human race and people's lives then putting out a free mixtape to please his fans. There are priorities.

He's told you countless times that he has two albums finished. Be patient, and be grateful, or don't be a fan at all.

Lupe you don't deserve them, they're not your true fans. Your true fans will wait, because they know you put your best into everything you do, and perfection doesn't come on command. We got your back.

Climb the mountain, come back healthy, and push Atlantic to drop the first single, and get the ball rolling.

By the way people, ATLANTIC ISN'T RELEASING LASERS YET FOR THIS REASON:

They want Lupe to climb the mountain first. They want publicity, because all they care about is the album going platinum, like F & L was supposed to. Let Lu climb the mountain, and get his publicity. The more you let him be, and the quicker he climbs the mountain, the faster you get Lasers.

...So in essence, ya'll niggas complaining that he's climbing this mountain, when climbing the mountain is gonna push the album out faster. So be grateful..

Peace and much love to ya.

Devin S. said...

Wow, that sucks.

Oh well, train hard Lu. Climb the mountain, go home, chill, and drop shit when you're ready.

I'll be bumpin' Revenge of the Nerds 'till then. =P

in the end, its only entertainment.

FiascoKing23 said...

Damn man... this is pretty depressing. Would of ended my year nicely. LOL! But that's some selfish shit on my part, when clearly he has some biz to handle that is WAY more important.

Always been a fan and always will. Much love Lu. Fuck all the whiny, selfish ass "fans" cuz us TRUE fans understand. I am impatiently waiting for "LASERS" but i'll live! Lol.

Brian said...

Good luck Lupe, you're a brave dude!!!


P.S. I hope you're coming up with some hot lines while sweatin on the treadmill hahaha

Anonymous said...

^ You know your whining like the rest of these "bunch of whining bithces" haha calm down chick people just got upset. Lupe's lyrics no matter how rushed, are something that everyone of his fans looks forward too. They got upset. Lu got heated. its calm now. you can sit back down. haha please.

d.swank said...

1. im pissed, i wont lie.

2. im a huge lupe fan(always will be), so when something gets cancelled hell yeah i get mad

3. im logical though, this nigga's life could be at risk climbing the mountain, and intense training is neccesary. i understand...

4. niggas on the blog cant act like they aint never came through with something they was suppose to do before in they life, especially something that was for free for others

5. im more worried about the people who aint serious lupe fans, who say fuck lupe b/c of this. that could be lupe losing popularity and money (doubt he cares though)

6. all you fans needa stop acting like a single is coming at the top of the year and we gon get two albums this year or another mixtape b/c he canceled this one. lupe aint make no promises and if he aint say it or dj busy, it aint true..

7. much respect to lupe in the end b/c this dude is saving lives and this is nothing i respect than a dude that uses his power to help benefit others, thats a true FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE

Rhymestyle said...

Are yall really whining that much? not the end of the world.. Truthfully I hope Lu never does a mixtape again just cuz of people bitching this much..

Lasers coming 2010.. we could even see a follow up album as early as 4Q 2010/Early 2011

Until then feel free to listen to Food & Liquor, The Cool, his previous mixtapes...

Matter of fact, you can even listen to other music.. Eminem Relapse Refill is dropping, Clipse dropped a new album... Go download some Mickey Factz... Check out The Sicktape vol. 2 (s-preme), Wale dropped an album too called Attention deficit... here's the point, its not the end of the world..

I bet everyone who is pissed off in these comments is too busy keeping up with the whole Tiger Woods incident vs caring about the war thats still going on...

Welcome to the real world...

Lu do what you gotta do, good luck on the mountain climb.. do not fall or I will slit your throat.. lol...


Irony how fast lu turned into the enemy of the state with 1 tweet... lol

I joke I joke...

anyways Lasers = 2010.. lets go!

Lupe, not many artists make their fans pay for the mixtapes. And know this, you would be nothing without your fans. I really hope that isn't you typing behind that handle.

Mr. Genius said...

Couldn't have said it better myself, Rhymestyle.

I honestly would not be surprised if he never did another tape because of this VERY reason. You're upset about a mixtape.... when:

1. The 1st single is dropping in January (prob. the 1st or 2nd week).
2. Lasers is dropping.
3. You might see a 4th album before the year is out.

Lupe's fans understand what's important and it's OBVIOUS his "stans" do not.

Jimmy said...

My gosh, so much drama! I'm willing to bet all is forgiven when LASERS eventually comes out...

I have an off topic question: how many days does the SOTS climb take? When will they be at the top? And back down? I want to know when its worth tuning in on the website, the key days etc. Anyone?

L.U.P Genesis said...

WHOA forget all this I can't believe LUPE is commenting that is too sweet!!!! LASERS IS GONNA BE MONUMENTAL AND HE GOT AN ALBUM AFTER THAT!!! Sounds like this gon be a nice 2010!!! Friend of the People man you don't even gotta do the tape yea i was looking forward to it but the name alone said it all LOL shoot!!! Naw i'm not swinging from Lupe sack but hey the industry ain't no joke.... Lupe I respect what you doing man ODU concert best concert ever!!! Sung shining down with you and requested army girl and you played it what the freak!!! That could settle me for another 8 months lol especially if you climbing a mountain for a great cause. idk you guys the music keeps getting push back but the content isn't being effected. And um excuse me a 22min mixtape he did it in about a day... excuse me what? Come again!!! A day!!! Thats what the freak I'm talkn bout sounds like he's a friend of the people to get us a lil sumthn before 09 was over lol!!! And it was sick it wasn't half @$$ed are you crazy?

The anticipation is leaking out of my eardrums!!!!

AnonymousG said...

Spoiled brats... I say let em rot

But its a fuckin mixtape not an album. He just dropped one last month. There are plenty of other people/artists/hobbies/thingstogoddamndo in this world besides complain about the postponement of free music. You "fans" need to get out. Live life or some shit.

Hip-Hop Head said...

Not gonna lie, initial reaction to the tweet was a little bit of hostility. But I know atlantic has a lot to do with the problems we have with music being released. And honesty, I think LU has his priorities straight right now and he is doing what he needs to do. Africa needs water more than we need new music. Being a die hard lupe fan I am always going to be upset when I hear I don't get music I was expecting, but when I know my favorite artist is doing things like helping to save entire continents, I can't do anything but sit back and applaud the man for just being a good guy. Do your thing LU. Peace, and much love to ya!

be coo you already about to get 2 albums which is super better in my opinion

Random said...

For the love of God..
I understand if people are let down by this (I know I am), but there is such a thing as taking it too far.

A mixtape was supposedly going to drop. It's not going to happen. So what? Bitching about it on the internet isn't going to do jack shit.
It's just a fucking mixtape for God's sake, I think you can survive without a few extra songs for a few months until Lasers drops. Stop criticising the man. He's a person like everyone else, doing what he wants to do. He doesn't have to cater to ignorant, ungrateful shitheads.

Good luck on Kilimanjaro, Lupe.

Ok to all yall complaining lupes already working on the album after lasers so that means lasers is done.....so its upto Atlantic to release it.....this Is why lupe said he was retiring.....pplr call him an asshole for pushing back dates when.he never really has control over it.....and as for the new mixtape..he puts something on hold to. try and save a few lives HOPING that he won't break his neck.in the progress and.now he's a Dick?

I just want to thank all of you douches who are complaining, because now Lupe will probably never do a mixtape every again. Thanks a lot.

Bunch of ungrateful pricks.

Anonymous said...

Think about it though, most of us think of Lupe as one of the best to ever do it if not the best. I am pretty sure he would expect us to get upset over him canceling a mixtape. Pushing it back a bit or something understandable, but canceling it is very dissapointing. His label fucks up the whole album part of it, but the mixtapes are all him so fuck yeah I am upset. I ain't gonna kill someone over it, but yeah im upset. Once again, 2010 better be Lupe all day. Based on his track record I don't think hes telling the truth, but I will never not think of his as one of the best based on what he has done.

datkid1220 said...

on a lighter note, i was just thinkin, wouldnt it be gangsta as fuck if lupe commented on il-lu-mination lyrics blog n gave a complete breakdown of a song of his choosin, preferably "dumb it down" or "the coolest". i mean, he already gave a conceptual explanation of "the instrumental" on the okplayer boards.

it would be hot to have him explain every single meanin to the lyrics that we might have missed... on 2nd thought, that would prolly take the art out of it, n would be takin our ability to have our own interpretations of the song, so nevermind lol

ChiTownGuevara said...

^^It's not up to Lu when the album drops, homie. It's Atlantic's decision. Chill everyone, got-dam lol. I mean, shit I'm disappointed too, but u gotta realize what's important.

"I bet everyone who is pissed off in these comments is too busy keeping up with the whole Tiger Woods incident vs caring about the war thats still going on..."

lmao, i totally agree. And as Mr_Genius said: single in a couple weeks, TWO freakin albums in one year (possibly), and of course, I KNOW if u a real fan, u still bumpin Enemy. so let's all

LOL Didn't see that MrGenius post. Stop throwing lupe back at us to calm us down! We are angry fans here! I know its atlantics fault on the album and I don't mind that nothing he can do. The mixtape he could just release at a later date. Even if that shit is like next year sometime its still better than canceled. Late Lupe is still better than no Lupe. Guess Ima go FIX MY FACE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!

Datkid, I feel you on that breakdown shit, Id go with Twilight Zone though. Thats one track by him that I was confused as fuck the whole way through. I got lines here and there, but was it supposed to have a bigger picture to it?

Go Baby! said...

We are all Lupe fans here....Sure, it is a diasppointment but is it really worth getting salty like this? Yah acting like lil kids who have been stood up by their father or something....Lupe simply, bit off too much that he can chew. He recieved so many opportunities to do all these things (i.e. People Speak, The Summit, New Moon song, Enemy of the State mixtape, etc.)...He couldn't do all those things in a timely fashion...Simply impossible. Especially since he is going to climb a fucking MOUNTAIN! If you ask me, I knew he would have to cancel something...whether it was the mountain or the music. Its a fucking mountain not high school rock climbing...I dont care how fit Lu look, he is not a professional climber. I mean, I am scared for Lu's life! I mean, Lu be falling off stages and shit,lol (Still bothers me that he fell on "he say, she say" and "paris, tokyo" I mean i can see "kick, push" but whatever,lol).......BTW the fact that he is willing to be the one rapper to push himself for such a great cause heightens my love for him evem more. Mother fuckers are dieing over water and yah salty about a mixtape?...Half of yah pissed about Enemy of State....what makes you think that this mixtape would satisfy your addiction even more? Put on the Lupe classics on repeat and get a hobby while your waiting on the new music...If you want that 'fast food' rap... turn on the radio....all GOOD meals/music take time.

@Lupe; Do not waste your time talking to niggas. Niggas never understand! It's all love in the end. Sick twisted love but love <3

Go Baby! said...

And shame on yah for even uttering the suggestion that he should cancel the mountain for your 'mixtape'.... Selfish bastards! I bet yah drinking a tall glass of water as you break down your 'frustations' anoymously on a blog...Too much life out here to be wasted on bullshit!

Anonymous said...

Go Baby did you read when he said it took him a day to make Enemy of the State? Good music clearly is just like takin a shit to him he does it naturally.

Go Baby! said...

^^"Good music clearly is just like takin a shit to him he does it naturally."lol Good One. Yeah, I read Lu did the mixtape in a day... So, Lu says. But honestly, do I believe that he did the mixtape in a day? Not really! Sorry but I dont. Either or, niggas was salty about that mixtape. Maybe he want to put more time into the next one. Either or, I am not trippin.

riva. said...

I understand you all may be dissapointed....

However...

Lupe, I'm not in the least bit moved by the fact you're not releasing the tape.

I'm forever a fan, and understand that you have other things in the works for your advancement as a humanitarian and not only an emcee.

All my blessings on your climb. I'll be first in line to cop lasers.

PS- YOU SHOULD CHARGE THEM FOR THE NEXT ONE.

Respect the Mic.

I was talking about this shit with my brother just the other day with my brother. Lupe Fiasco already has a lot of music out, but do you know how old most of his material is? He's so fucking stengy with his unreleased material, to be honest, his unreleased material is what actually keeps me a fan. His unreleased material SHITS on ANYTHING he's dropped COMMERCIALLY since The Cool. And for him to actually hype up this mix-tape and go cancel it on us, that's fucked up. He said it himself, but I didn't think he was that serious about it. They asked, "So Lupe you been in the studio lately?" LUPE REPLIED, "Recording music, hell no, I've been enjoying myself."

That's pretty fucked up, he even said he's only in rap to "Travel" and "See the world."

I want that OLD Lupe Fiasco back, and I'm requesting more leaked material, MAY SOMEONE BLESS US.

Fans are so fuckin' Fickle man! SMH

To be honest:

-Got the text saying mixtape was canceled.

-Pissed!

-Even had to vent a lil. Blamed Lupe. (really just mad at the state of music and unfortunate circumstance)

-Realized..."hey, I'm an adult"

-Got over it!

Lupe actually took the effort to explain himself. Who does that? It's incredible that he actually reads y'all BS rambling. Y'all niggas SUCK as fans lol.

I say make the niggas pay for the mixtape! Make em pay for every fucking thing you do LU!

Shit I'll buy it.
Because when it comes down to it,
Y'all niggas don't support shit.
Let the man live.

Angie said...

Good luck on the climb Lupe! :D

The people who are complaining are being so selfish. So you're not getting the mixtape right now...who cares? Lupe's doing something that will save lives and y'all are mad cuz you're not getting a few songs. Damn...

Taha said...

Thanks for telling us, Lupe.

Guys, you know what you should do?
Just stop whining, and wait. That's all it is with Lupe, good things do come to those who wait, so why not just wait. That's what we've all done with the past mixtapes and albums, it's just this time he's climbing Kilimanjaro for people without water. Would you climb Kilimanjaro like he is? That's what I thought, so shut your mouth.

You know, just like everyone else, I'm sad. But when something is cancelled or pushed back, I just throw on The Cool, or A Rhyming Ape, or Shining Down, or anything by Lupe, and maybe that's what you should do. Remember who the greatest artist in Hip Hop is.

Peace and Love

this has gotten way outta hand on both sides...it should be completely understandable to be dissapointed that the mixtape is gone cuz now that new Lupe we all were expecting around Christmas is not gonna come. On the other hand it should be just as understandable that in the music biz things rarely happen on a set timeline. Cancellations and changes in dates happen all the time people.

Give respect to get it? Dude it's the internet, you aren't even under an alias, stupid mother fucker. I don't know who you're trying to impress writing a whole essay on another guy who doesn't even know you personally, nor really does care about you. Just because of the fact that you even responded to my post like that shows how mentally impaired you are, I could slaughter you on the fact that you actually went through the trouble of looking the word "hyperbole" up, and for a second believing that someone actually cared that you voiced your opinion on this whole situation. But nahhhhhh, I'd rather let you destroy yourself. After this post, I'm going to sit back and let you respond to me as many times as you like. bye

Anonymous said...

I thought intelligent people listened to Lu. I guess everybody's got their buttons.

Would you people rather have Lupe die or get sick up on that mountain? He's gotta train. and to remind to what he is doing instead is not for himself finacially. He is climbing a mountain for CHARITY.

Yes,he did say he was going to release a mixtape and now he isn't going to. Don't humans make mistakes? Is Lupe not human? Isn't that why we love Lupe, because he is REAL and we can relate what what he raps about?

FORGIVENESS!

FNF UP!

Rhymestyle said...

To the person who said its illegal to sell mixtapes:

It its NOT illegal to sell mixtapes... it is ILLEGAL to sell mixtapes with instrumentals that ARENT cleared.. meaning if the person who owns the license of the original beat lets u, then you are ALLOWED to do whatever... hence why Big Sean was allowed to sell his mixtape after Kanye pretty much allowed him to use Say You Will...

Also if a mixtape is completely original and you own the license to the beats, then again you are allowed to sell the tape... and as for being a jackass by paying for a tape, alot of times artists sell these tapes @ shows because people SUPPORT them.. if you support an artist, then paying like $5 for a mixtape shouldnt be much...

That is all

Askia said...

As salaamu alaykum,
May I remind everyone that a mixtape is 1) Free of cost to the consumer and 2) Entertainment. It's FREE ENTERTAINMENT!!!! The artist has taken nothing away from you, the listener, and has instead made the sound decision to focus his charitable efforts on those who need it: indigent human beings in desperate need of water. Regardless of what the artist may have been going through, the would-be consumer has no legitimate reason to protest.

Disappointing. But I understand that the training is more important right now.

But seriously, Lupe needs to get back on the ball. Enemy of the State wasn't even CLOSE to the greatness of Fahrenheit 1/15 Parts 1,2 and 3. It wasn't even close to being the mixtape of 2009 either. I was disappointing with it to say the least.

Anonymous said...

Really Lupe needs to train? I thought he had 4 black belts. Kilimanjaro is a easy climb, it's more of hike. If you take the easy trail (which they are), its very easy and has a huge success rate. And training is no reason not to drop the mix-tape. Dissapointed

"If some of you aren’t aware yet, Lupe recently announced he’s not dropping Friend Of The People on X-Mas. Sucks, right? But that sting should only be temporary, as Jay called in to Shade45 to announce that Act II: Patents Of Nobility will drop that day."

D-Truth STFU yourself. Jay Electronica got the internet going nuts with that "Exhibit C" joint. THAT'S how you build/keep your buzz, not by failing to deliver on your promises like Lupe.

Jay Elect >>>>>>>>>> Lupe

^^ keepin promises??? wtf are u talkin about?? exhibit c is a old ass song, shits been out for months.. he only rekindled the flame by droppin the cdq version of it n puttin it on itunes. only reason jay elect gettin so much attention imo is cuz he has an unorthodox way of releasin music, like puttin out 2 minute videos n only the last 10 seconds bein a part of a new song, to keep niggas antsy

Lupe, not many artists make their fans pay for the mixtapes. And know this, you would be nothing without your fans. I really hope that isn't you typing behind that handle."

Quoted for TRUTH, Lupe should have never responded, truthfully that dude is a fucking asshole. He does not care.

"Couldn't have said it better myself, Rhymestyle.

I honestly would not be surprised if he never did another tape because of this VERY reason.

Lupe's fans understand what's important and it's OBVIOUS his "stans" do not."

Who cares, people would still leak out his old material, which is a lot better than his recent activity. Lupe made Enemy of State in one day, THE DAY BEFORE HE RELEASED IT. That dude don't put any effort into anything.

Some guy mentioned that we should "bang EOTS until Lasers come out."

How can we bang a mixtape that's composed of snippets?

x-x

June said...

Well in that case, you have two albums and three mixtapes to choose from. I'd recommend F&L and ROTN.

So giving youre fans free music is 'wasting' songs?....why does it seem like a burden for him to give the fans who made him who he is now, music?...you have rappers far more popular than him like Wayne giving his fans 21 tracks mixtapes..and he doesnt complain about it, he embraces the opportunity....shyt he even gave his fans a 'thank you for listening' outro...and Lupe up here telling his fans to be grateful over a 20 minute mixtape...he tellin his fans to be greatful for him, when he should be greatful for his fans...i think the guy is rapping for the wrong reason, to me it doesnt seem he really enjoys rapping,, because if he didnt he wouldnt have a problem wuth giving his fans music....smh...sorr y for the rant...this just really woke me up to his 'appreciation' for his fans....

smh, ya better hope Lasers dont leak, if he misses his chance to go platinum or gold, or loses any type of money at all bcuz of a leak, he neva rappin again, even tho it isnt the fans fault...

Haha dam y'all niggas Finna make mah boy Lupe retire be4 he even drop ANY of his new shit! Haha just calm down and he'll drop some hot shit 4 yall niggaz.

PBL said...

Calm the f**k down and stop acting like Lupe owes you anything.

I was dissapointed as well, and looked forward to it, but you know, if it's lupe, there was a good reason to cancel it.

What he is trying to do with his music, yall should be fine with waiting, even if lasers dropped 2011. If you aren't fine with waiting, show me just ONE rapper who is trying to do the same for us like Lupe is trying to .. Until then, stop taking him for granted.

DS said...

To the person who said it better be dropped in the first 2 weeks of January, Lupe will be on the Mountain the first two weeks Lol

man... if he did enemy of the state n 1 or 2 days, y couldnt he do this 1?!?!

enemy of the state was ok... but honestly it culdnt touch "no ceilings" in the aspects of quality an quantity... thats my opinion

Lupe murdered wayne. No Ceilings was a joke compared to Enemy of the State. What is hilarious is the fact that some people are saying Lupe half assed the mixtape. If you can do better, please show us!!! I stopped listening to No Ceilings about a month after it came out. Enemy of the State is on repeat, even after 2 1/2 months. And there is no way in hell that Lupe is commercial. Lupe, congrats on the climb. The only album I'm looking forward to this year is Lasers.
