Lupe Fiasco to Retire

Atlantic Records is declining comment on reports that rapper Lupe Fiasco will retire from music after releasing a triple disc album titled “LupEND.” Fiasco made the announcement during a Halloween show in Chicago, explaining that “END” stands for “everywhere,” “nowhere” and “down here.” No release date has been confirmed. If true, the news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering Fiasco told Billboard as much last December. “‘LupEND’ – that’s going to be my last album’s title,” he said. “When you play a videogame, you can only put in three letters for your name and when the game’s over, those three letters and ‘END’ pop up. My next record might be my last one.” The rapper’s two albums, 2006′s “Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor” and last year’s high-concept “The Cool,” have proven him to be one of the most exciting artists in hip-hop. Sales of “The Cool” have raced by those of the debut 549,000 to 375,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Fiasco has a handful of dates on tap before the end of the year, including Wednesday (Nov. 12) in Los Angeles.

Uncool Lupe Fiasco

 The Uncool. Lupe Fiasco is at it again. The harebrained, self-indulged, so-called “smart rapper” is still trying to pass off cynicism as intelligence, but his card has been pulled once again. Here’s what that uncool fraud had to say on the topic of racism.

“Racism built this country,” Lupe said. “Racism built the world. Racism is the basis of all societies. It’s a necessary evil sometimes. Especially to keep democracy, keep us all comfortable.”

File that one under “Smart Rappers Say The Dumbest Things, Yet Again.”

Trying to clean it up he continued, “But it’s wack as hell. I hate racism.”

Not as much as I hate the arrogance you exude while making these mind boggling, dim-witted statements. But wait there’s more…

“I find comfort living outside the matrix, with all the evil robots and living underground eating oatmeal, that’s where I want to be because that’s true.”

You know what Lu, how about you stay outside the matrix on the music tip. Clearly you’re unique on that level, but when it comes to being a rebel thinker on real life issues, buy a friggin’ clue, my man.
