Lupe Fiasco Announcement/ Live Acousitc Superstar

[Bamb00Tan]

Sad,last album.

Lupe will blow Lil' Wayne ass

[sean33313]

JayZ jr LMFAO

[drlovebutton]

it has nothing to do with his religion. he was just over peoples heads musically. he hates what hip hop has become and thinks people don't respect music anymore. it all about a beat that people can dance to now.

[skatewillthee]

Them singing along is annoying

[mdabomb693]

how comes hes retiring????

[07graduate]

this is old news. he's not retiring anymore. he had been sayin this since he started but i knew it had 2 be a lie. i jus thought of it as a good way 2 push him promotionally and it's been working. his next album isn't lupE.N.D. it's titled "Lasers". but when it is titled lupE.N.D. at least that'll let u kno when it's officially over for the fiasco known as LUPE!!!

[mdabomb693]

ooo, yea i heard something bout that but like there was this concert where he said his next album is gunna be the lupend album

[manykings]

hip hop tell lupe is not retiring, lupe will quit hip hop becahuse lupe maybe knew that hip hop is forbidden with his religion is muslim.

[ashtonadams89]

@manykings islam dose not forbid hiphop it forbids negative music or music that influnences others to do negative things hence lupe doesen't rap about drugs, sex, and violence well at least not anymore

[lilcapz444]

@ashtonadams89 did he ever?

[BeforeTheBigTime]

idk

[danielslife1]

damn they still doin this song....aight time for some new....

[bigg781]

No he said the record album wont let him retire till he makes 3 more albums... so ya.

[greedymindztv]

yep. that's why LASERS is coming out. i'm glad though

[lupend4]

I feel so obligated to tell you that you are horrible with a camera in your hands.. Why do you keep turning the camera sideways.. you can't focus on shit.. you're unaware of your surroundings, you randomly wonder the camera away from the stage.. you're unable to maintain any sort of stability.. and it sucks, cause this SHOULD be a great video.. but with you holding the camera it's a 2/5 stars.

[jakemo42]

I was there. Dopest concert. It is supposed to be on DVD. Anyone know anything about that??? There was a huge camera floating overhead.

[amwoflakeland]

He is making lasers because he didn't feel like LupE.N.D. didn't get out everything he wanted to say. The whole theme of "We are lasers" is about a high school outcast. He is talking about being his trials and tribulations of a high school outcast.

[dagr8rylz]

dont retire

[SoItWasWritten]

lol lies. atlantic wasnt having it.

lasers coming in 40 years =(

[lauritaxmg]

wats w/ the whole laser theme? do u kno y?

[legendof]

Love Always Shines Every-time Remember to Smile

[benandreas369]

Atlantic didnt want Lupe to retire... they are really fucked up and I have a feeling Lupe is pissed.

[girgirl27]

damn triple cd...cool!!! cant wait...love lupe the magician...lol

[radioshuriken]

damn,

he's the coolest muthafuka

[SoSoGraciouS]

that shit is about to be epic...can't wait for that album.

[benandreas369]

sorry to give it to you guys, but Atlantic is being fucked up and making Lupe do more than Lupend... So Lupe is making a album called "the great rap album", then after that he will make LUPEND. Go look at the Lupe blogs if you dont believe me. Atlantic wants to try to milk Lupe, and LUPE is pissed. So he will make that album, then do his own thing w/ LUPEND without Atlantic.

[gedbeat15]

when did you hear this? is it posted on a website somewhere?

[superstarscum]

wtf r u serious

[greedymindztv]

yea. he's making another album called Lasers first

[lauritaxmg]

so its lasers. greatest rap album. and den Lupe.n.d?

[Essaesser]

eww

[lupea2]

i thought he was about do some magic

[apieceofsomething]

The Cool for album of the year. The Carter III was good in it's own way, but Lupe is real, yet a storyteller, he surpasses gangster rap and appeals to wider genres.

[JMore1008]

Lupe is the best....period. The Cool is like a great book...no matter how many times you listen to it, you will ALWAYS get something new out of it. His songs are just so deep. And yes I'm pretty sure that this is the end of his solo career, but lest we forget that late '09 CRS debut album is due. And CRS (Lupe, Kanye, Pharell) is too big of a supergroup to be one album and done

[FidelCashFlow22]

LUPE IS THE TRUTH...HE IS DEF IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN...THAT CD IS GOING TO BE AMAZING...I dont care how much it cost!

[frikefirdaus]

A Triple CD Is Damn Promising(I REALLY MEAN PROMISING)....It's Like Whut?..Makin Up 3-4 Years Of His Music Career....But Still,Wouldnt Be Tha Same Without Him...

[DCxKilla]

hes writing a book after this and ima be first in line no doubt

[chancethagreat1]

lupes like da barack obama of hip-hop remember when i first seen kick push on b.e.t when it first came out n tha next day i was at school tellin everyone about it he's one of da only new artist in da pass 5 years dat really could make real hip-hop i get mad cuz hes still somewhat underrates even eit all his award nominations he doesnt win enough but who does lil wayne soulja boy come on now if this was the 90s lupe would've been declared one of da greatest sad 2 see him go nunthin good last 4eva

[mylifeisinrainbows]

couldnt agree wit you more

[j30345]

what the fuck did you just type. anyways lupe is tha truth

[cambam619]

hell yeah. thats word mann

[ABoyCalledThomas]

This is gonna be INSANE!!! A triple cd! Can't wait for lupE.N.D... If Lupe is gonna quit after this one, I will be really sad but people Hip Hop is NOT dead! There are some dope artists out there like Lupe who really put their love and heart into their music and really bring REAL Hip Hop! Besides Kanye, Common, Nas and KRS One you should check out Tanya Morgan, Buff1, Von Pea, Athletic Mic League, ...

[scary05]

lupe is da shit

[Ltwolf27]

King of hip-hop

He will make a return because hip-hop

scratch that... MUSIC will never be the same

with out lupe.

[xNaSxAZx]

i will be soo pissed if he has any write off songs.. but he really never had a write off song yet..

[TH3RTYSE7EN]

Lupe honestly just made my day, actually scratch thath he just made my life!

[theshadowboy607]

kool

[8182570]

Please don't go Lu!!!! i'm gonna be so depressed we all need your music and your lyrics especially :( I have mixed feelings here.. excited for his last yet sad as well. Hope he continues to stay active and do whatever he wishes to do :)

much love <3

p.s. go matt santos!! whoo hoo!!!! that man is talented!!

[MTWENTY]

i luv lupe...if LupE.N.D.'s gonna be a triple CD, he better not cheat us by having like only 10 songs on each CD....he better have at least 15 songs on each cd....anyways LUPE 4 LIFE!!! hip hops saviour

[Joethegiantkilla]

i heard its gonna be like 50 tracks

[tubetime3]

who's favourite artist can pull something like this off, Lupe's the best

[TNCbiatch]

LupE.N.D. is gonna be TIGHT AS FUCK

[passannante92]

i love how much fun he has and how much fun his band has on stage. i mean just look at the bass player behind him. dude was grinning like crazy. must be so awesome to be able to do that

[azaan847]

i was there on halloween at congress theater it was a sick performance

[ThaAPollo]

honestly i dont think lupe will pull that take a year off and come back stunt..in my opinion hes being serious...he has 1&15 to run and artists on that label that are waiting to release there debuts..he will take his executive position seriously and focus more on his artists...and plus Lup E.N.D. is basically 3 albums in one

[EazyMixes]

I think I know what Lupe is going to do he is going sell tons of copys with lupend then in 2 or 3 three or maybe even 1 years he's going to comeback make a new cd and sell tons. Just like jay-z did with kingdom come

[tubetime3]

stop jinxing it then he might not comeback

[jockinsamp]

this is def the illest version of the song

[cef1209]

i bet i bettttt he will come bak he willl hewill come back i promice

[ABSimo]

Easily the best version of superstar I've heard.

[paulrosscz]

lol this is so sick wish i could be there..cant wait for the albums

[Jay220891]

Lupe's doing the right thing, retiring when he's still at his best..

I don't want him to retire though!

[DEnumber94aldine]

now, we wait

i hate waiting

[passannante92]

haha i love at 1:30 when the guy yells..."WHAT?...WHAT?...IDONT KNOW?

[ratyler2003]

3 CD'S IN ONE THATS MAD EPIC YO

[stackg]

The whole crowd sang the whole song! How ill is that!?

[theheiny24]

im stunned

[theheiny24]

the acoustic version is better than the regular

[passannante92]

fuck that

[StefanJato]

fuck you pussy ass bitchass pussy bitchass nigga.

fuck yo couch nigga.

lupe's the shit.

[cef1209]

fuck wat lupe he wants do other things he might comeback u never know

[theheiny24]

im sad that lupes gonna retire but im excited that its gonna be a triple album. I want CRS to make a cd

[SlapMyFro504]

Think about it. My two favorite rappers, Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco (in that order) with Pharrell's mic skills and producing skills.

That'd be hype!

[SlapMyFro504]

I think that if Lupe does "retire" after LupE.N.D. with solo work, that Child Rebel Soldier will release an album. An album on which, of course, Lupe will rap. I would love to see CRS become more than just a side project and actually become a powerhouse rap group with albums and everything. Much like Run-DMC, N.W.A., A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan...you get my drift.

[scrill30]

DONT DO IT!!!!!! BEST IN THE GAME

[kagegk]

probably the best artist to come out in the 21st century. i repeckt his decision for bein his last album, cuz the hip-hop industry is a frustratin' one, but hopefully he doesnt pull a jayz

[tylenol22]

Fuck that I hope he does pull a Jay on us.. I love this nigga to much..

[kagegk]

I don't want lupe to have a Kingdom Come fall off album like Jay, fuck THAT

[tylenol22]

"Fall off album" my hairy nuts... Beach chair is still one of my favorite jay tracks till this day... Mother fuckers just cant appreciate music for what it is.. art.. U want Jay to rap the way u want em 2.. u want Lupe to stay retired when he hasn't even retired yet... Ridicules

[kagegk]

Oh shit, you is ignorant as fuck. First off, who are u refferin to as "mother fuckers" i dont see anyone else talkin. Did I SAY that I THINK Kingdom Come was a fall off album, no. I'm talkin about Jay's overall fans, I actually liked the album, and one song is not going to make an album. I really couldnt give a shit less if Beach Chair is one of ur favorite tracks, it's about the overall album. And when the fuck did I say I want Lupe to retire, he said it himself dumbshit. Ridiculous

[sAiNtSfC1994]

shit.

[livebystealth]

Hez mai favorite music artist. Im sad its ova afta this.

[SunRaida]

can anyone tell me when lupend is coming out? I hear dec 09...?

[DivineDynasty23]

it might come out in 2009. lupe hasnt said anything about the dates

[passannante92]

i love the relationship he has with his fans

[abcd0069]

lupe is te best

[momin4312]

bitter sweet.

[JazzyBaby93]

even though i don't want him to "retire" either, you gotta respect his descion. i was reading in an interview and he was like "why question my passion" he'll still have a love for music he just doesn't want to put out anymore albums.

[koooookabura3]

Man, i swea if he doesnt quit he will go down as the best eva, his awesomeness is without limits. DONT DO IT LUPE

[trumpet1ksax]

yo dats messed up in so many ways...u got gr8 rappers retirin fa no reason...i hope he comes back to......LUPE.N.D.!

[mocwanksta]

i hope this will be same as the jay-z thing where he says he will retire but look now he is making the blueprint 3..

[vkap]

damn man i been bumpin him since 04-05 since fahrenheit part I and II first dropped ...been my favorite rapper in this millenium

[rivskies]

insane is rite i dont even know what to say rite now after seeing that im rattled after seeing that

[Videogamekid1992]

Yeah, I know.

[znera123]

WOW that kid in the Discription is really good.

[acswifey]

CHICAGO PUBLIC SKOOL SYSTEM!

[tubetime3]

is he going to end the cool game and streets story

[Sway1]

yo dlacc on some shit, FUCK U. No Joke

[ripmeast21]

lol half the audience didn't know wheteher or not to say "They want a show" or "They want to know".

[icehawk654]

good quality, but i dont understand why you keep turning the camera..

[julissakh]

yes...i'm stoked!!!!

[red11990]

whoever filmed this is pretty much the coolest person alive

[mikeballa2001]

lupe comon my nigga it cant be yaa last, my fav rapper lupe hes the best

[Videogamekid1992]

Same here.

[amac390]

Perez Hilton put this on his site!

Great vid.

Do you have them performing

"Fighters" ??

[Alckatraz]

far as I'm concerned, that's 5 masterpiece cd's from Lupe

[dlacc187]

this nigga is an attention whore.

[Videogamekid1992]

Man......why does he have to drop out of the game like that? I don't care what anyone says. Lupe's the best rapper of this generation. Better than Lil Wayne imo.

[Repented]

Lupe Fiasco is a beast... I seriously cannot wait for this album to drop!

[BuckMarley]

why are people asking if its going to be sold separately if the album is called "LupE(verywhere).N(o where).D(own Here)."

the 3 albums are under that name they just also have separate names

you catch my drift?

[PardonTheSwag]

damn dat album gon be somethin serious, the game needed lupe for real

[eviltwin22825]

I hope he does 3 seperate albums not a triple disk

[WillMillion15]

lol did you not hear him...

[PapaL0k0]

He also announced the release of a live dvd and live cd at the concert.

[Crisis757]

I cant believe hes actually going to retire. Is this going to be a triple disc album release all at once, or 3 release separately?

[memo4546]

Lupe is the truth, in my opinion the hottest MC in the game rite now, but like dude said why he gone retire now his career is just gettiN started

[cbanks82386]

HEY,I WAS THERE

[leona19emma]

OMG! i love him sooo much!!!!

thats gotta be at least three more years of releases!! CAN'T WAIT!

[benandreas369]

I love lupe man...

If those 3 c.d.'s are better than "the cool"....

Lupe will be the greatest MC of all time because seriously... I do not know how he can top his last album.

[Nearraen14]

evry1 knows when a rapper says "retire" they mean extended vacation til the bill collector comes knockin. Plus hes got a 5 album deal w/ Atlantic. Unless the whole reasoning behind 3 cds was 2 meet that requirement (which i think means albums not cds)hes gonna have 2 pay Atlantic or..."realize he couldnt retire from something he 'loves'" a la Shawn Carter.

[Rikjiluvu]

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. A double album is just that, TWO ALBUMS packaged together, thus; a TRIPLE album is 3 albums packaged together. So if you're correct w/ him having a 5 album deal then yes this would complete that. That's actually why Beyonce is dropping a double album so she can get off Columbia early, artists have been known to use this tactic.

[YouMuted]

Lupe is so Steezy!

[dakidkossreturns]

he`s a great rapper but he`s a dumb ass

his just started getting his mainstream success

and now he wants to stop. he has potential to be the next nas

having good album sells & lyricism only happends to 1 out of 10 rappers

why would he end that so quick?

[wHaTxThExPhO122]

he's not a dumbass he has said since day one he's only gonna do 3 albums!

[dakidkossreturns]

i dont give a phuck

why retire when you career is just gettin started

[Nearraen14]

b/c he's been saying he'd retire after 3 cds ever since Food & Liquor came out.

[youngsonmusic]

You're sadly mistaken though man. He's been in the game for 10 years now. His reasoning in an interview once was "I think I will have said everything I needed to say". Don't you hate it when your legendary status rappers KEEP making albums just because and they start to not be as hot as they originally were? A prime example is Jay-Z

[ruthlessculprit]

bc mainstream success is what kills every great artist. instead of rapping and doing music for the love of the game, you do it to please your record deal and the CEO's making money off of you. Kudos to Lupe. He said all he needed to say.

[TrippleT7]

Whenever my friends say hip-hop is over I always say no, Lupe Fiasco will save hip-hop and I really put all my faith behind him

[dashaolin]

lupE.N.D. stands for

Everywhere

Nowhere

Down Here.

[SeanCashPUA]

Greatest ever. And I will see him live soon.

[pogostickpaul]

I WAS THERE BEST SHIT EVER

[thatboyshellz]

i love tha fact that i was bumpin "Lupe The Killer" waaaaaayyyyyyyy b4 niggas even knew who lupe was... sry 2 see him go

[youngsonmusic]

Me too fam. I was bumping "Pen and Needlez" like early 2006 (possibly late '05) after I heard him smash "Touch the Sky". It's been great to be a fan all this time, while people was hating on him and hating on Kick Push and stuff. I used to play people "Switch" and they still wouldn't say he was the truth. Then Superstar drops, and they hop on the bandwagon...lol. Sad to see him go though. My favorite song of all time from him is Steady Mobbin'. I wish that woulda made F&L & as a single.

[Videogamekid1992]

Man, I loved his music since Kick Push.

[UgotzTaChiLL]

I love Lupe

[babyg1235]

So I cant understand Will LupE.N.D. Be Thre more ablums Or A 3 disk alblum ?

[ksanderson9]

3 Disc

[africonaamericono]

why am i so happy but yet it seems like the end of the world? and hip-hop???? :(

[youngsonmusic]

Hahaha. Maybe so. LOL. Hip Hop seemed so revived with Lupe. Now it's like....man. But I will tell you this, MYSELF INCLUDED, Lupe has sparked inspiration in many new M.Cs to emerge! Hip Hop isn't dead. It just needed someone to get it rolling again!

[leona19emma]

OMG! i love him sooo much!!!!

thats gotta be at least three more years of releases!! CAN'T WAIT!

[tubetime3]

when is he comming london

[iMurk]

Hes already been, in the summer.

[JaymieLady]

awesome

[Anfmethodjor]

I ain't be surprised. He has hinted that he's next will his final lp.

I love him and all, have been a fan since the first time I saw him on Myspace, with no album, just a little song--Kick Push, and jamming with his friend Mathew Santos.

His both first albums are awesome.

I got very disappointed at him for saying he would do one more and that would be it.

[Anfmethodjor]

It feels like his rushing (success/fame/art/whatever you wanna call it).

Look at Lil' Wayane, he started in 1999, but only really became critically and commercially acclaimed in a massive level like he is now, with his latest lp, The Carter III. It took him 9 years to be as big as Eminem (In the US,@least,I must add), 50 Cent, Kanye West, etc... even though these guys attained such fame within 1 or two albums.

So when Lupe comes with this garbage, I ain't buying it. I'll be buying LupEnd though.

[youngsonmusic]

WTF are you talking about? What garbage? Why can't people accept people's decisions from their heart? I'm so tired of people saying "he's bluffing" or "that's ridiculous" or comparing what he's doing to what Jay-Z did in 2003 with Black and then came back. Let the man be an original individual. Love his music and support him.

[benandreas369]

its because Lupe does music because he loves it, he doesnt do it to get bigger like Wayne and 50, that is what makes him a true artist, not a money-getting whorebag like those two.

[footballrockscs2]

i can't effing wait! Yay!

[PapaL0k0]

Chicago Congress theater. It was his 1 year band anniversary. Me and my friend recorded this and we were upfront, crazy show.

[marszthevillain]

WOW!!!

where was this at?

[ksanderson9]

Congress theater 10/31

[skins4life36]

LUPEND CANT WAIT SON!!

[woodini6969]

cANT wait to see him for the grand openeing of the club nokia in Los angeles on the 12!!!!!

[SoItWasWritten]

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

[kjhenry15]

insane
