Lupe Fiasco chops it up with Ruby Hornet about the fight to get not only his third LP Lasers released, but the fight to remain with Atlantic Records period. He went as far as to say at one point in time he no longer wanted to be signed w/ Atlantic and was willing to negotiate a deal that would allow him to part ways with the money hungry record label. Now with Lasers scheduled to drop on March 8th, Lupe speaks about the content of the album and his limited role in it's creativity.
"At one point it wasn't about Lasers, it was about 'yo, we want out," says Lupe Fiasco about his long standoff with Atlantic Records.Lupe had a completed project, and an eager fan base awaiting it, yet Atlantic Records did not want to release Lupe's 3rd studio album, citing creative differences and corporate concerns.
In this interview we talk to Lupe about his feelings during the holdout, as well as how this ordeal has affected his relationship with the music found on the new LP and his enthusiasm to promote it.We also talk about the impact of all the protests and demonstrations on the future of the music business, and how he finds grounding and support in the Lasers Manifesto. - Ruby Hornet
