Lupe Fiasco crying over a leaked track
Lupe Fiasco acts like he is the first artist to have there music leaked. Below is what happened and what Lupe said.
Lupe blogs, “Actions are being taken and the authorities have been notified.” He also adds “As a personal plea to all my fans PLEASE DO NOT share, stream, or download any unauthorized or stolen Lupe Fiasco music. A lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own personal finances… With the history that surrounds the devastating and massive piracy of my first album i’m sure some of you can understand why this very harsh stance that is being taken up. And for those of you unsympathetic enough not to understand I can only compare it to someone breaking into your house and stealing everything not tied down or someone kidnapping your sister or brother and ransoming them back to you.”
Lupe Fiasco Leak
Lupe continues, “The track ‘I’m Beaming’ that was leaked last night was NOT authorized or intentionally leaked by myself or my company,” he explained. “Plain and simple its STOLEN property. And this goes for ANY record or track that leaks or is made available for illegal download from this day forward.”
When it comes down to being a victim of an internet leak, it’s not Lupe Fiasco’s first time. When Lupe’s “Shinning Down” leaked on the web earlier this year, he had blogged about it as well and addressed his fans.
“I DON’T LEAK MY OWN RECORD!!!.”I’M NOT A FAN OF LEAKING RECORDS OR OF DOWNLOADING!!!! My entire first album leaked and possibly cost me from going platinum my first time out as the final estimates of how many people actually downloaded that album illegally was well over half a million…Someone hacked my email. I was about to fire my entire staff and cut off relationships over shining down leaking last night. Bun B hit me and was like ‘the records dope’ and i was like ‘what record?’ nobody even has it. the only possible explanation is my email chain with the mix studio which is air tight…the studio that is was hacked and thats where the record came from. Lastly, the album is f*cking ridiculous. I dont like to brag or sh*t like that but the album is sooo f*cking crazy at this point 95% done.”
Lupe’s third studio album Lasers, is set to be released in early 2010.
I understand his anger because for a hip hop artist that focuses on the essence of real hiphop its hard to get the same sales as gimmick artist like gucci mane, nelly, lil boosie etc.
Drake and wayne?! do u mean just drake because he is the one writing all that shit. Take a look at how big his deal is he is being compensated for both being an artist and wayne’s new ghost writer. Wayne is fucking trash he keeps a fresh hot ghost writer on the payroll shit is obvious props to drake tho who btw isn’t better than lupe get off that rock my nig
he cant be serious, do you know how many albums and songs where leaked from wayne and drake, who by the way are way hotter than lupe and they dont complain and bitch about it so make another piff song
