This is going to be Lupe Fiasco's 4th album since his debut in 2006 with Food & Liquor. This is a sequel, and it was meant to be a double disc, but he has decided to divide the release dates, and drop the second disc sometime in Dec. This one is set to drop tomorrow (Sept 25), and the full title is Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Part 1.
I usually don't like when rappers have long titles, or complex names for their albums, but being a Lupe fan, i am cool with this one. I predict the album would sell between 85-135k first week. His last album, Lasers dropped last year, and sold 204,000 copies first week, but it had a better buzz than this one. The singles (Around My Way, Bitch Bad, Lamborghini Angels...) that have dropped from this album just ain't hot enough. As i said, i am a fan of his music, but i am just saying he isn't appealing to a greater audience with this one. His last two albums had big first singles (Superstar, and Show Goes On), this one doesn't.
First week sales projections based on first day sales are in, and it is projected to sell between 85-95k. I predicted it would sell between 85-135k, so i wasn't far from the truth.
