Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

Tuesday, March 01 2011 2:02 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True StorySometime yesterday, Lupe’s new album Lasers sprung a leak. Within hours, zealous fans panned the project. Lu beamed on Twitter this afternoon and responded to the early reviews. Do support on March 8th, losers.
I never thought lasers would inspire so much negativity. Reading the comments and reactions is crushing. To all the Lupe fans who protested and petitioned you did a GREAT thing. Don’t let people be little what u achieved. You forced a massive corporation to bow to the whim of the people. Thats a glorious thing.
Love always shines everytime remember 2 smile has always been a “note2self” the product of trying to figure a reason to keep going. This morning I buried my brother under a perfect sunshine. It’s a beautiful day today. Go out and be beautiful with it. The End. Peace.

Scientific fact: it is IMPOSSIBLE to look hard & flip a camera the bird holding a bottle of Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider.
I pre ordered that can’t wait. FUCK DOWNLOADING THAT SHIT AND FUCK THEM HATERS. Saw all them negative dickheads talking down on the big homie FUCK ‘EM ALL. LASERS MARCH 8th SUPPORT LUPE!
It ain’t bad, just not up to par and didn’t live up to the hype #TRUTH
What were the crushing comments?
im sorry for his loss and i feel bad he had to put out something like Lasers after albums like Food & Liquor and The Cool, cuz both seemed like he had nowhere else to go but UP … clearly you can see Atlantic’s stamp on Lasers in the sound and in the album only being 12 songs (smh) … i hope this is his last album under atlantic’s contract (not sure if it was 3 or 4 albums he has to do) but this might as well be Atlantic Presents: Lasers … wish dude well
Honestly, the only problem with some of these fans is they’re going into the album hoping to hear Food & Liquor or The Cool, but there is no similarity at all, and when fans hear that, they dismiss the album.
Personally, I think its a dope album, its different, more poppy, but dope (minus like two songs).
Anyways all I can say is, listen to the album at a neutral perspective, not at one where you’re looking for comparisons to his first two records.
And if you still don’t like it, well then be patient for Food & Liquor II: TGARA
Lupe would be dope on GOOD MUSIC.
proven fact if you got a beard and you not fat your head looks 10 times bigger
but lupe should always be proud of his work fuck what they say lyrics are by you
he shouldve stayed on that “ALL BLACK EVERYTHING” type stuff the whole album.. not the techo club stuff, nahmean…still a dope album

YE YOU RIGHT IT WAS FUCKIN HORRIBLE
SMDH THIS SHIT IS A NICE WEED TRAY AT LEAST FOR HIS GAY FANS
I downloaded it and i’m still gonna go buy it next week just to support him, but it did not live up to the hype. It’s better then when i listened to it the first time. I was expecting much more.
STILL BETTER THAN I AM NOT A HUMAN BEING! AND REBIRTH! AND WE ARE YOUNG MONEY! AND CARTER 3 FOR THAT MATTER
I don’t know about the homie. He has some mike skills but something about him rubs me the wrong way. He comes off very bitchy and whiney. Stick by your shit, man.
Album is beyond great, all 20 minutes of it. That Trigga song will be all over the state run radio.
I know people are saying the album is wack but lets face lupe’s worst is STILL BETTER than 95% of other mainstream rappers today’s best.
LASERS IS DISAPPOINTING! SMH!
YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!
He himself told complex it was wack so why is he surprised that we find it weak
I’m A Huge Lupe Fan But This Album Sucks ( Still Ganna Buy It ). Clearly The Record Lable Had A Huge Impact On Creating The Album. I Could Tell Lupe Wanted To Go More Of The Direction Of ” The Cool ” But With Out A Single Like Superstar That Can’t Happen. Record Lables Fucking Suck DICK !
This nigga was just saying how much he hated the album and how its a label album and all this other bullshit. If he feels that way, theres no way im coppin it, not checkin out the free download either. IF this nigga ever puts out a body of work he actually supports, it’ll be worth checking out. Fuck a Laser Loser.
Lupe is his own worst enemy.
Why does he always publicize his leaks by tweeting about them? Now all of his fans know that it’s out there to download.
Why is he mentioning that there are negative reviews? It’s making me much less likely to buy the album and I’m a FAN.
Why is he saying that he Hates his own album at the same time that he’s promoting it?

He needs to stop talking. YN was right….
IF this nigga ever puts out a body of work he actually supports, it’ll be worth checking out. -JERZZZ
Well thats true enough, cuz he supported F&L and The Cool, and both of them are classic.
uuuhhhh… hold up i support the man. the songs are decent! its definitely an atlantic-riddled project… but it still has some lupe in it. its a departure from his usual sounds – sad – but he does it kinda right! its nice. coming up is dope.
Who cares if it wasn’t better then his last albums. This is what he brought out now so fuck with it or get lost. I’m not even a lupe fan but fuck. Me personally I’m a fan of the artist first then I fuck with the music. Listen to the music from his point of view. Stop being haters
was about to say that’s propably the best Lupe picture ever taken…
Then I read the first comment lol
*Dead*

^^^^^
ahahahaha yes thats hilarious
What were the crushing comments?
^^^
That his album is disappointing..which it is! He’s got like 4-5 really nice records on there, and the rest is a Atlantic Records/Pop Lupe album….easily his worst album no questions
Lupe said he never hated the album. he said he hated what he had to go thru to put it out
UPSET THAT LASERS ISNT EVEN THAT GOOD. GOT A FEW GOOD TRACKS BUT THE REST ARE LAME
lmao niggas has the cd before it came out, if you go to kickasstorrent somebody did a cdrip with a screenshot of the real cd itself, LMAO
the album sucked though, too much MAJOR LABEL WATER ON IT
Lupe should keep talking so Atlantic can let him go and sign to GOOD MUSIC which would be a better fit for him. Food and Liquor 2 coming soon.
fuck them its dope im buyin it
i bet one of the stores leaked that shit
Lasers is awful though…it’s sad how bad the album is.
the albums dope as hell its just u can get that the label forced all those features and hooks maybe some of the beats so in one instance the rapping lyrics flow concepts are all on point and its lupe doin what he does on the other hand its got this forced sound to it almost like that i need a doctor skylar gray sprinkled all through it but non the less its still wicked album he needs to get the fuck of that label and go to roc nation or independant or something actually release music his way instead of label tainted selected songs or dope songs with hooks that dont match and sound more comfortable on a justin beiber song
Still havent heard it……I’ll wait before making a statement on the album
I just hope for him the album is at least ok…with all he went through lol
aww cry me a river, build a bridge and GET THE FUCK OVER IT
Garbage album
wack album sorry lupe!
Um…i heard the album and it fucking sucks. I’m a big Lupe fan but the shit aint what i was waiting for. WTF??? Fuck Lupe! Fuck Laser…losers…lazers…whatever it’s suppose to be. LupeE.N.D. FnF down
How quick fans will turn on their favorite artist? hmmm
Thats non-alcoholic cider….
The albums good kept it real while making it listenable to the masses ok the label f***ed him up but props to ma nigga lupe for keeping his lyrics on point and sticking to what he does best delivering positivity. I can’t help to think atlantic had a part to play in this leak and maybe fuel its negative comments. I think we going to have to wait and see when the reviews come in…..
The album isn’t bad but it isnt’ great. It sounds like an Anti-Illuminati album over mainstream pop beats to be honest. The lyrics are great but they just don’t match some of the beats
Like the song with Trey Songz. Like Trey was singing about something totally different and his verse had nothing to do with the hook. I think he’s trying too hard to be anti-establishment instead of just making good music
I KNOW NOW WHY ATLANTIC SHELVED HIS ALBUM. I won’t be buying the album like i planned to…And i loved the first two so this is a sad day. The Shining Down record should have been on there
not a big lupe fan but i respect how most of his fans never let him down.FandL2
go away lupe.
pretentious faggot.
@B.Dot,
Lupe speaking on “The Show Goes On”
I didn’t have nothing to do with that record. That was the label’s record. That wasn’t like I knew the producer or knew the writer or anything like that. That was one of those records the record company gave me, [they even gave me] stuff they wanted me to rap about. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey I did this and I went to a mountain and found inspiration and it was this.’
On the album
“I love and hate this album. I listen to it and I’ll like some of the songs.”
” A lot of the songs that are on the album, I’m kinda neutral to. Not that I don’t like them, or that I hate them, it’s just I know the process that went behind it. I know the sneaky business deal that went down behind this song, or the artist or singer or songwriter who wrote this hook and didn’t want to give me this song in the first place.”
Ok, even if he’s talking about the “process” of making the album he’s still putting it out there that this album is not really him. It’s Atlantic. Statements like I didn’t have anything to do with “Show Goes On” and the label forced me to put some of these songs on there is a way of abdicating responsibility for what some people are calling a not-great album. And by the way, he’s not even fighting back on the claim that the album isn’t good. He’s saying “Thanks for the movement of forcing the label to put it out” regardless of the fact that he doesn’t even stand behind it strongly enough to defend the quality of it.
And the fact that he’s doing it before the album even drops seems to be a way of getting cover, like “hey i told yall it wasn’t me. it was the label”
The sad thing is it probably would sold well and may have even been received moderately well if he didn’t 1) highlight that it’s leaked and 2) that people are reacting negatively toward it.
Despite the lackluster singles, I was amped to cop this album…until the complex article and then the tweets just confirmed it…
Soft neegah! Cop Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang if you want some quality hip-hop.
lol smh @Donn nigga you be the first dude telling other niggas to not download and go support their shit. And here you are… SMH I lost some respect for you nigga
If i hear one more person say ” you only dislike Lasers because it doesn’t sound like the F&L or The Cool” I may lose it. I didn’t want Lasers to sound like anything except a great album. And it does not. I wanted to hear growth, which we don’t. Its okay. The question you have to ask yourself is, are you a true fan or a yes men. And honestly I see a lot of yes men running around. I mean, really. This is what we waited for. Much love for Lu, been down since the mixtapes, but Lasers is mediocre at best.
I bet YN leaked that shit.
@Dj Lupe dont have fans he have BANDWAGON FAN? Once he fuck up nigga say fuck him smh. And im def. was never a lupe fan but i do prefer good music tho.
I bet the Lupe fans feel mad stupid that they did that FiascoFriday shit for an album he himself isnt fully behind. This really hurt Lupe in my eyes man. The dude that said Lupe is his own worst enemy? you hit the nail on the head!
