Hi guys…Lupe Here…
There seems to be a lot…A LOT…of misconception and misguided info floating around the net…so for the sake of clarity and so that everyone (HOPEFULLY) will be on the same page let me reaffirm and debunk some things and just turn down the general noise that is surrounding Lupe Fiasco…thats me…
My Third Album is Titled “LASERS” not “WE ARE LASERS” or “LUPE.N.D.”…
MY NEXT ALBUM IS NOT TITLED “LUPE.N.D.”…
“LASERS” is NOT my last and final album…
“LASERS” does NOT drop in 2009…
“LASERS” does NOT HAVE A RELEASE DATE YET…
“SOLAR MIDNITE” is NOT a single off of “LASERS”…Nor was it intended to be apart of “LASERS” project…
“SOLAR MIDNITE” was exclusively done at the request of the Twilight: New Moon Team to be apart of their film, motion picture soundtrack and as a vehicle to promote the film…NOT TO PROMOTE “LASERS”…
I produced “SOLAR MIDNITE”
I’m not SELLING OUT by doing a song for NEW MOON…
People thought I “SOLD OUT” when I did “Kick, Push”…
I LOVE “SOLAR MIDNITE”…
“SOLAR MIDNITE” is NOT a HIP-HOP RECORD…
I’ve done ROCK or ROCK-like records on all of my previous albums…i.e. “The Instrumental” “Hello/Goodbye”…
I HAVE A PUNK BAND CALLED JAPANESE CARTOON WHICH I SING IN AND PRODUCE FOR…I DO NOT GO BY “LUPE FIASCO” WHEN I DO SONGS WITH JAPANESE CARTOON…NOR PERCIVAL FATS!!!…I USE MY REAL NAME…
Enemy Of The State was NOT, NOT, NOT meant to be an album…so stop (to the ungrateful among you) TREATING it like one…
Enemy Of The State was short for a reason…I DONT LIKE TO WASTE SONGS…AND IT SHOULDN’T TAKE YOU THAT LONG TO PROVE YOUR NICE IF YOUR “REALLY” NICE…
ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS WATERED DOWN ON PURPOSE…BECAUSE ITS NOT AN ALBUM…
MOST OF ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS DONE IN ONE DAY…
IF YOU DONT HEAR IT FROM ME OR DJ BUSY IT MAY NOT BE THE COMPLETE TRUTH!!!
Its more noise out there and stupid rumor but I really don’t have the stamina…
FNF UP…
Off the New Moon soundtrack.

Love this cut…never gets old! Bummed I missed this

“Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. The New Moon team asked me if I could do a song specifically for the film. They invited me to an early screening of the unfinished film from which I pulled different elements that I thought would translate into a great song. I pulled in vocalist and bassist Graham Burris and acclaimed musician Matt Nelson to help fill it out my vision musically and “joila” Solar Midnite was born. The song basically deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters. It’s more on the rock side of my musical catalog and comes straight from my die hard fanhood of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Anthony Keidis, one of my FAVORITE RAPPERS.”
