Lupe Fiasco says F&LII is NOT a true sequel to F&L, it was "marketing" move

[45123]

It's more the fact that you know he's hedging his bets, because if this album gets critically panned you know he'll be saying " Oh that was all Atlantic they forced me to do it"

Just like fukking Lasers, which is a travesty of an album

No
This has zero correlation to the music
People are in this thread like "Oh lawd This ain't Food and Liquor 2??", there not being doubtful of Lupe taking responsibility for making wack music

And why would Lupe say that? Atlantic has obviously stayed the fukk away from this album

Either way, "Food and Liquor II" is in the name of the album, what difference does it make anyway?

Who cares?

As long as he puts out a dope album, that's all that matters

You really think the nikkas in here talking cares if it's a dope album or not , shyt can be a perfect album theses same buffoons will say it's wack

lupe is annoying he always blames his label for everything nikka man up u been in da game 2 long 4 that

you know something idk

Fam so are gonna forget his first two albums? Hell even the goat nas has dropped some duds

 

[Harry B]

why are people shocked @ a dude who's basically came into the rap sh!t as a gimmick. he tried to make the world believe that he was a skateboarder when he wasn't even that.

What??!

Man I need to stop reading his threads or articles, every time I enter I see something new bullshyt.

 

[shazam]

nikka you not even a fan of lupe foh fakkit

I probably would be if he wasn't such an insufferable c*nt

Fam so are gonna forget his first two albums? Hell even the goat nas has dropped some duds

To be honest the more this guy opens his mouth the less I like his old stuff. I've got a signed copy of Food & Liquor and I bought the little gold embossed Cool but I have no desire to listen to them these days

 

[wire28]

he should just remove the name all together so it doesnt dirty the legacy of the classic

this


@ nikkas actually catching feelings because of this.

so bp3 ruined the legacy of the bp , and im almost positive this album will be top 5 this year

 

[Return of the Jedi]

why does it not being a true sequel matters in the first place

uhh if it's not a sequel to F&L then it shouldn't be marketed like it is. Calling it "The Great American Rap Album" would've been fine.

When I heard this would be F&LII I assumed it was Lupe going back to that style and sound. And it's not.

It doesn't mean the album will be bad or anything. It just sucks to see him jerking around his very loyal fanbase like this.

So what's the difference between this move and The Blueprint or Carter series?

 

[Enzo]

I respect him so much more for keeping it real and not try to revive a gimmick. He is giving you what he feels he needs to give the people.

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

I saw this coming back when Lupe first said that Atlantic promised to be hands-off on F&L 2, after Lasers was his best selling album. This is just preemptive damage control.

Wtf you mean, you expected this album to sound like Food & Liquor (which is already dated as fukk with some songs) after hearing bytch Bad, Lambo Angels, Around My Way, etc. ? Not every rapper likes to make the same album twice

And I don't feel the least bit "jerked" by him saying this.

Eh, his fans should care that he is fukking lying to them to build a buzz.
Cause Lupe been :ing so damn much, people are basically like "who cares?" to all the bullshyt he preaches. What if Nas said Life Is Good was Illmatic 2 and a month after dropping the first singles, he turns out and says I LIED It was a marketing trick suckers .

That shyt wouldn't fly, it's highly disrespectful to your fans.

 

[Michael Knight]

It would be a problem if this was a follow up to The Cool and he said this, not F&L.
There is no major concept for that album, just a bunch of songs.
