Are sales going to Lupe Fiasco's head?
Now that Lasers was the #1 album in the country (in a year when an album by Cake was the #1 album in the country), Lupe Fiasco is pulling a Ms. Lauryn Hill: showing up whenever he wants and singing whatever he wants, never mind how much you paid. He didn't even bother showing up to SXSW, and he just barely showed up to this show to celebrate the release of Lasers, VIP tickets to which were upwards of $100, BEFORE the BS fees.Jacked from Byron Crawford
According to someone who was there:
“This event was a total catastrophe on all fronts,” one correspondent wrote me via email. “Doors opened at 7:30, with Lupe set to perform at 9.” The opening acts started that that time and finished at about 10, but there was no sign of the headliner. “No DJ, no emcee, nothing.” About an hour later, the club started playing music again, but “the crowd became restless, booing and letting their frustration be known. Then they announced that Lupe was not even in the building but was on his way. Craziness ensued. Fans became restless, throwing beer cans (which I do not condone), one fan jumped on stage and grabbed a mic, asking where Lupe was, just a total mess… Lupe eventually came on stage, but not until well after midnight, then proceeded to do a set [that lasted] less than half an hour, and only snippets at that. It was a total waste of time and money. I mean, five hours of standing before Lupe even comes out, and then he does four and a half songs?”

And THAT'S the reason why people download music for free, and that's exactly what everyone should have done with this album.
Damn Lupe, not cool at all my dude. Oh well, I don't go to concerts anyway because shit like this might happen. Besides, live music only sounds good to me when I'm in church, that's it.
Dam looks like they finally got to old Lupe! CD was not up to par! I was the one who believed in you Lupe
