Was just at the mall and my dumbass friend had too much to drink at California Pizza Kitchen.

This dude tried to walk into the ladies bathroom. I had to legit physically turn him away from the room so he didn't get thrown out.

I told this nikka he was flat out drunk and this nikka said "I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober :mjgrin:"

He originally said it woulda dropped all together but the delay is clearing samples.

So I'm thinking all that touring he was doing last year and the purpose of Light (which he intended to scrap at one point) is to conjure up some dough to afford the money coming out his pockets for the samples.

Apparently, Akira's one of those, so that's sure to cost time and money.

Read someplace that some of the records were meant for LASERS

Pick Up the Phone is the obvious one, produced by iSHi and Eric Turner on the hook (Break the Chain, Stereo Sun). Sounds more like F&L2 era bars, but he hasn't worked with both of them together since Lasers.

Yeah but the thing is last year homie was talking bout Drogas dropping all year. Hyping it, Skulls, and ROY Light as 2016 releases and waited until late October to finally come out and say "yeah, this shyt ain't happening :mjgrin:"

Lu be having the perfect plan in his head mapped out but things never go the way he strategize it to. With over 15 years of experience in the music biz, it's crazy how he still underestimates the time it takes for samples to get cleared and the other legalities and shyt.:usure:

GOAT rapper to listen to. WOAT rapper to be a fan of when it comes to anticipating releases.

He's cancelled and delayed more projects than the vast majority of rappers have even announced.

1. LupEND(3 disc album)
2. Friend of The People was supposed to come out a month after Enemy of The State. He got mad about his music leaking or some shyt, delayed it for 2 years.
3. Collaboration album with Pharrell announced. Never happened.
4. Collaboration album with S-1 called Black Vietnam. Never happened.
5. Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, part 2 was cancelled due to part 1's low sales.
6. Original Tetsuo & Youth was poppy and mainstream and dumbed down AF (hence Next to It, Mission, Old School Love). Lupe scrapped and decided if it's gonna be his last album on the label, he's gonna do it his way and with his fully artistry at hand. Thank God this happened, or we wouldn't have gotten the masterpiece.

7. ROY cancelled.
8. Drogas Light cancelled because he didn't want people to misconstrue the concept interpret it as him being washed up or chasing radio. Decides to put it out.
9. Announced Drogas Light, Drogas, Skulls all to come out in 2016. Gets into beef with Jews, cancels all 3 albums. Then changes his mind and announces Drogas Light is coming out.

There's probably others I'm forgetting, but all 3 of those things 100% happened with no embellishment or exaggeration on my part. After a while, I lost optimism or faith in anything he was saying. Took the "If it comes out, it comes out. If it doesn't, whatever, I'ma go listen to other artists" route and never looked back. Dude's relationship with communicating with fans who support him is terrible.

All worth it for the music though.

Agreed. If this nikka ain't drop so many classics he'd be :camby: status for me

I completely forgot about Black Vietnam :dwillhuh: at one point I was more hyped for that album than T&Y.

I'll give him a pass for LupEND because Atlantic wasn't having that shyt.

I remember when he said Skulls was almost done back in 2012 :mjlol:

The Cool 2 has been announced, cancelled, revived, turned into a play, and cancelled again :francis:
