Mr. Jaco announced his Spring tour dates for Lasers over at his blog this morning.  You don’t see Chicago on the list because, as you know, Lupe hits his hometown this Saturday (March 26th) for the official Lasers release party/show/event.  I’d heard the show was already sold out, but it appears there are still tix…

What do you do if you have the #1 album in the United States?  Pop bottles?  Go to Disney World?  Well, if you’re Lupe Fiasco you take to your personal blog and Twitter drop bars, that’s what.   Touching on everything from Japan to Nate Dogg to Suicide to Lasers to FSD (ha!), Lu goes in…

The numbers are in, and it’s official – Lupe’s Lasers has reached #1 on the charts, with over 204k copies sold.  Now, Hits Daily Double will probably be off by a few (give or take), but this is essentially the official number.  Lupe’s previous efforts Food & Liquor debuted at number 8 on the charts,…

Late last week, Lupe was back in his hometown of Chicago on the promo run for his third album, Lasers.  Elephilms, in association with Smash Brothers and Atlantic Records were granted all access to Lupe’s endeavors while in Chicago and followd him throughout his hectic schedule.  Here’s a birds eye view into the life of…

  Last night at the House of Blues Foundation Room in Chicago, Lupe Fiasco hosted a launch party for his charitable organization, the Lupe Fiasco Foundation.  After doing a full day of press (Chicago Tribune, WGN), in stores (FYE) and radio (Power, B96 and WGCI), a visibly exhausted Lupe still made time to drop by…

Now, these numbers aren’t official, and Hits Daily Double is usually off by a few thousand, but it appears Drewstadamus was correct in predicting that Lupe’s Lasers would be his biggest album yet, despite the drama surrounding it.  Beautiful Lasers indeed. The Chicago-born rapper arrives with his third Atlantic Records studio album, Lasers, which will…

From earlier this evening. And oh yeah, he’s still #1. Cue up the BDP. Props MWP

I was expecting this joint to drop today & Complex delivers. You may remember this track as “Horn Synth”, which leaked last year. Add some killer drums & you have the second track from Travis Barker’s album, Give The Drummer Some. After listening, go grab a few copies of Lasers.
