NEW MUSIC: LUPE FIASCO DROPS ENEMY OF THE STATE: A LOVE STORY

Posted by Orion Thursday, November 26, 2009


Lupe gave us something else to be thankful for this Thanksgiving with this mix-tape. When he comes out with anything, you should know that it's gonna be hot! Besides the fact that Lupe is one of the smartest and most clever rappers in the game, there is another simple reason for the anticipation build up around anything he releases. Economists call it simple supply and demand; go ahead, load your favorite mix-tape downloading website and tell me who's faces you see all over mix-tapes being advertised.. I'll wait. Probably the same ones you saw last week and the week before that. See, when rappers flood the market with mix-tapes being mixed by a different DJ every damn day, shit kinda loses it's value you feel me? And obviously they can't be putting all that much effort into they're tracks if they got 3 new mix-tapes out a day 'n ish. You know who I'm talkin' about too. Moral of this story; the more you put into yo work the more you'll get out of it. And that is exactly what Lupe does on this tape.
I shouldn't spoil the excitement of who's tracks Lupe puts to rest but um.. I gotta let you know that 'fireman' has been done justice. Oh yea, and he adds a little bit of rock flavor with probably you're favorite slaughterhouse track.
Now, we all know Lupe had announced his next album 'Lasers' was to be released this December. As far as I know it looks like it's going to be next year because he's announced the release of another mix-tape titled 'Friend of the People' to drop on December 25; just in time for Christmas! So it looks like we'll have to wait till early 2010 for 'Lasers.' All good with me, It's no doubt a gem in the making!
