Is the internet activist group Anonymous behind the release date of Lupe Fiasco’s overly-delayed new album, Tetsuo & Youth? Well, according to one of the organization’s Twitter pages they are — and they offered Atlantic Records an ultimatum: release Lupe’s album or else.
Tonight, Anonymous released the following statement on one of their sites:
Citizens of the World and lovers of conscious music,
We are Anonymous.24 hours ago we released a short Twitter ultimatum. We called upon record label Atlantic Records, responsible for releasing conscious rap artist Lupe Fiasco’s long awaited Album. We demanded a statement from the label within 24 hours to release a date or we would unleash the complete and utter fury of our collective on their company and executives. 21 hours later they released a short Tweet citing the album and it’s release date.
At this time it can be concluded that we have proved our point. We wish music that is educating the masses to keep being released. We will fight for that. Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common and others are the moving force behind conscious rap. This is music we will fight for.
Operation Atlantic, Operation Free Lupe; disengaged.
Mission Accomplished.We are Anonymous.
Never cease to expect us.
Now we know Anonymous is not for play, so it’ll be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out:
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic
but I had to share it with someone!
