(AllHipHop News) Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco has two high profile projects lined up for 2010, in addition to launching a major tour to support his upcoming album Lasers.
Lupe Fiasco has formed a new group with producers Kanye West and Pharrell Williams to form Child Rebel Soldiers and he is working on an untitled book.
Lupe told New Zealand’s Channel 3 News that the book will be released under his birth name, Waasalu Muhammad Jaco.
“I started off as a writer. You know, since I was a little kid, I’ve been telling stories and actually Hip-Hop has just been an extension of me telling stories,” Lupe Fiasco said. “So putting it in a more traditional form as far as a book has always been a part of the plan.”
Lupe Fiasco recently kicked off his Steppin’ Lasers tour to promote his fourth release, Lasers, which has been turned into Atlantic Records, although there is no release date for the album.
Lupe Fiasco’s Steppin Laser tour will kick off this Friday (March 5th) in Claremont California with B.O.B., who will make appearances on select dates.
Lupe talked to THE AGE in Australia, mainly discussing the conflicts he is/was going through with his label. Check it out below.
Historically, there has been a conflict between the music Lupe wants to create and the music his label wants him to make.
Lupe: ”It’s less about me being a celebrity, because I guess I’m not really a celebrity,” he says. ”The most difficult part of the music business is the label.”
“What I want to do and what they want me to do – creatively – is in conflict. It doesn’t keep me up at night. I look at it as a challenge. It’s not meant to be easy.”
“There’s a misunderstanding with my fanbase,” he says. ”People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do.
They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.
I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem, as opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”
Lupe’s third album for Warner, Lasers, was submitted last month. The label has yet to announce a release date. ”It’s an album we both feel comfortable putting out,” Lupe says. ”I’m somebody saying the things that maybe 98 per cent of the music industry is not.”
