Grammy nominated artist, Lupe Fiasco, released his highly anticipated album, “L.A.S.E.R.S.,” on March 4.
This is Fiasco’s third studio album and marks his first release since late 2007, due to feuds with his record company. “L.A.S.E.R.S.,” which is an acronym for “Love Always Shines Every time, Remember 2 Smile,” covers a wide range of topics including politics, the war in Iraq, and much more.
In this album, Fiasco directly criticizes prominent public figures, even President Obama.
Fiasco isn’t really one to hold back when expressing his opinion.
Although this album is slightly different from his first two efforts, it’s still a great listen. Fiasco said that he has a “love/hate” feeling about this album.
He said that he loves the album because it’s great music, but hates the album because of the process of making it, referring to the record company trying to take away his creative edge and control his music.
“L.A.S.E.R.S.” debuted at number 1 on the Billboard charts with sales of over 200,000 copies. With his music and his message, Fiasco continues to prove that he is one of the top artists in the game.
If you enjoy real hip-hop music that’s not just talking about money, cars and clothes, then you should give it a listen.
