Lupe's Laser's album which dropped earlier this year is still on my album playlist, and i bump it almost every day. I got the album late, so i am just now getting to really listen to it. I love it, and think it is a masterpiece. He has now let the word out that he is working on a new album, which would be the sequel to his first album (food & liquor). His new project would be titled Food & Liquor 2. I hope he doesn't have any problems getting this one out like he did with the Lasers album. If you didn't know, 200,000 of his fans had to sign a petition against Atlantic Records for holding back the Lasers album
&
Read what he had to say about the album below-
“It's really taking the lessons I learned from Lasers, and applying that to Food & Liquor [2]. That's really it,” he said.
“Me being an artist, I'm never happy with my work, because I don't ever think it's finished. It's hard for an artist to walk away from a piece and say, 'okay, that's done.'"
So, let us start the countdown till when this would drop. But, i think it would probably drop sometime in 2012. Maybe around this time.
"Every album since Food & Liquor,
my first official release, has been nominated for Best Rap Album at the
Grammys," he said, denying that he will win. "No. Clearly I won't. Nas,
Rick Ross, 2 Chainz and The Roots. Ah yeah, it is Drake? Forgot about
it.
1. Ayesha Says (Intro)
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."
