When he emerged into the game, Lupe attracted fans because he was different. The lyrics from Lupe Fiasco made listeners think. His first two albums sold very well, but his label wanted him to go mainstream for his third album.br /br /After his 2007 album, emThe Cool/em, sold 700,000 copies, Lupe Fiasco was reluctant to change his style. But, having his next project delayed for nearly four years helped Lupe Fiasco change his mind. Despite abiding by Atlantic Records’ rules, Lupe’s album has been a commercial and critical flop.br /br /Each day, Lupe Fiasco is in the news for one reason or another and he made news because he called out the president. Lupe Fiasco was among the rappers vocal during the 2008 Presidential Election. Being a Chicago native, and a man from the rough neighborhoods in the violent city, he supported Barack Obama. It seems most rappers have stopped talking now that Obama is president.br /br /However, Lupe Fiasco has continued to be vocal, even calling the president out. Lupe Fiasco recently said it was necessary for him to call President Obama out. At this point in his career, Lupe said he no longer cares about being famous and having attention. When he reads his bank account statements, Lupe Fiasco sees he has not made any money from his record label. Their plans to have him cross over did not work and Lupe has taken matters into his own hands.br /br /When speaking on the “Words I Never Said” song, Lupe Fiasco questioned how disrespectful he had been by only telling the truth. Lupe Fiasco said everything in the song was true, when Gaza was bombed and hundreds of people died, President Obama did not say anything. Instead of being disrespectful, Lupe Fiasco said he was only speaking the truth and deciding not to cast a ballot for something he does not believe in anymore.div class=”blogger-post-footer”div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”
