Lupe Fiasco Thought About Committing Suicide While Making His Latest Album "To Keep From Killing Someone Else"
Lupe Fiasco has put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into his upcoming 'Lasers' album.The project was once rejected by his label Atlantic, he tried getting released from the label, fans organized a rally/boycott to get the album put out, now finally, on March 8, it will see the light of day.
There are still some battle scars left on the Chicago rapper, even if you can't see them.
In a recent interview with Details, Lupe talks about contemplating suicide while trying to get this album out. He even raps about it on the song "Beautiful Lasers."
"If you feel like you don't want to be alive, you feel just like I am," he raps.
A lot of his frustration stemmed from the fact Atlantic wanted him him to be something he's not. Trying to force poppy, syrupy records that might be fine for other artists but not Lupe down his throat.
"The creation of Lasers was a very painful, dark, f*cked-up process," he says. Adding that he definitely thought about suicide if only to prevent himself from "from killing somebody else,"
Creatively, Lupe knows his limits and what he's capable of musically even after Atlantic rejected his album initially for not being pop enough, he stayed on course.
"I don't know how to do what Kanye does," he says "I don't have that Midas touch."
He does however have the ability to make great songs that his fans enjoy.

I really think the war on terror is a bunch of b*******
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it
Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups
Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust
You get it then they move you so you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the f-cks”
Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such
And that aint Jersey Shore, homie thats the news
And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say s***
Thats why I aint vote for him, next one either
I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people.

@Ze
I know what you sayin. But at the same time he's not some regular man with a regular job struggling to feed his family/himself. He can go get tour money anytime. He can record music whenever he feels like it and release music whenever he feels like it. Its not like the label is f****** up his actual life, they're giving him a hard time. He has a deal. Hes put out records. He's well off, if not rich. His biggest problem is a gripe with a record label. Now you tell me that its not feminine soft and bitchmade to consider killing yourself when there are people with real problems. Passion is one thing, he dont need a major to get records released, hes Lupe f***** Fiasco, the man is dope on the mic.
