Atlantic Records Gives Into Lupe Fans? 

Atlantic Records has been under heavy fire recently for their refusal to release the new album by Lupe Fiasco titled “Lasers”. The drama began when Lupe took to his blog and let it be known that the album was done and he wanted to give it to his fans but…Atlantic wasn’t having it.

So the nerds in Lupe’s corner weren’t having that and instant went in. E-mails, phone calls, and constant tweeting and blogging were all weapons of choice. At first this didn’t seem to work and Lupe let it be known that despite the good intentions he doesn’t really see the album coming out. Until now! Just earlier today Atlantic got it’s Tweet on and told the people that “Lasers” is indeed coming.

The only question now is…when?  Lupe has not commented but this is definitely a win. Wow, I guess these labels really do listen to the people huh?

Drake Going Fully R&B?

File this under not surprising at all. Despite having massive success in the rap game it is coming out more and more now that Drake is opting to go more R&B in the future.  Supposedly his next album, tentatively titled “Moments”, will be 90% R&B. I’m told this decision is coming directly from Drake as he feels the hip hop audience is too limited and he is trying to get some real mainstream paper.

I personally will not be copping the next one if this is true. Drake is one of the best rappers out, please don’t do this to us…
