I have been a Lupe Fiasco fan ever since i heard Him on Kanye's Touch The Sky (2005) track, off the Late Registration album. 3 albums, and 7 years later, this man has not disappointed me once. His debut, Food and Liquor had that Illmatic feel; flawless verses back to back...Second album, The Cool was just out of this world...Lasers was a more politically conscious Lupe, mixed with some feel good songs...Lupe Fiasco just confirmed that his 4th album, Food and Liquor 2 will be a double CD and the first single would drop on May 2nd, but the album release date is not official yet.
"Food & Liquor 2 is the follow-up, the sequel to my first album Food & Liquor. This is my fourth album, and this is actually a part one and part two, it’s a double album. With this record, I wanted to go back to the essence of what made that record so special, the frame of mind I was in when I did Food & Liquor the first time," he explained. "It’s the Lupe Fiasco I want to be, without the industry constraints, without the trying to please the hardcore fans or get the new fans. It’s just what I would do for myself if nobody ever heard it. This is the kind of music I would make. It’s a masterpiece. It’s real fucking good.""There’s a joint on there called ‘Form Follows Function’ that is a monster. It’s a monster. Nobody’s fucking with that, I just put that out there. Any other records I give other rappers and musicians, you could possibly do a better song than those. But ‘Form Follows Function,’ rappers ain’t fucking with that. That’s how good it is. I’m not being egotistical or anything. You just can’t fuck with that."
