Seeing as how Lupe is on a very short list of rappers I faithfully listen to these days, this is great news for me. According to Lupe, we will be getting Food & Liquor 2 here pretty soon. Hopefully, it doesn't turn out to be a sequel to Lasers. Allhiphop reports:
Grammy Award-winning artist Lupe Fiasco has announced that his next album, the highly-anticipated sequel to his 2006 debut Food & Liquor, Food & Liquor 2, will also be a double album release.
While speaking to FUSE at the Beale StreetMusic Festival, which took place this past weekend in Memphis, Tennesee, Lupe revealed the news regarding Food & Liquor 2 and
also suggested that fans should mark their calendars for May 22. That
is the date that the rapper behind two of the most acclaimed Hip-Hop
albums of the past decade, may premiere the new album’s currently
untitled first single.
Lupe told FUSE, “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.”
This is not the first that the public has heard of Lupe’s double album plan. At
a concert in Portland, Oregon last March, Lupe announced this news, as
well as the revelation that he would no longer be releasing mixtapes.
“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,”
said Lupe. “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
really f*cking good.”
