Yeah I saw that interview.. Won't be that good imo, Drake's selling out and Wayne's never been the same.

But you're right about Nas/Damien bring back the collabs - Mainstream wise anyway. Wu Tang will always be the ones who revolutionised the whole collaboration albums - Case & point: Wu Massacre

[Term-X 7,891]

Wu Massacre was too short imo, the average track length must have been 2 minutes. When i listen to wu-tang it's classic shit or nothing.

True, but Apollo Kids by Ghostface was pretty epic

Lupe Fiasco Official Lasers Album Cover + Details

After the petitions and stalls, Lupe says "Lasers" will be controversial and feature club records as well as thought-provoking tracks.

After a fan initiated petition, and a feud with his label, Lupe Fiasco continues to move forward with the March 8 release of his third album, Lasers. In a post on Twitter last year, Lupe said he and Atlantic Records were in a standoff because he refused to make a more accessible Pop single. The Grammy winning emcee hasn't been on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart since 2009's "Shining Down," but Lupe said he's making an effort to appeal to his core audience as well as mainstream fans.

"This is like the people's album, because it was the fans who wanted it," Lupe recently told KMEL's Big Von. "They petitioned for it when there was a stall on the release date, so it's something that I think is very controversial…there's some very controversial records on the album. It's that good, old-fashioned, Lupe Fiasco, 'Food & Liquor' flow that you're used to. And then it's me breaking barriers—there's some club records on there. A lot of fans said, 'Lupe Fiasco is underrated. Lupe don't get the respect due he should get or the commercial respect that he's due.'"

As previously reported, Lupe will work with The Neptunes as well as Alex Da Kid on Lasers. The latter is behind the boards for the album's third single, "Words I Never Said." The single, which also features Skylar Grey will be released February 1 in anticipation of Lasers' March 1 release date. So far, the album's two previous singles "I'm Beaming" and "The Show Goes On" have failed to chart domestically.

I don't really look too deep into it," Lupe added, when asked about his recent lack of crossover success. "But as an artist, that is the barometer in the commercial space. I'm a commercial artist, I put out commercial music for people to buy, play on the radio and shoot videos for. It still has some weight as an artist because that's where art is being rated at."

This album has all the ingredients to be a classic!

Yea, Video for 'Promised Land' looks good. Great to see Distant relatives still going strong.

I've found myself listening to Mos Def's 2009 album 'The Ecstatic' again, it's a dope album.

[Steve 10,227]

Hey Term, you would know. Can you explain the whole Nas and Jay z feud that they had? Like what started it?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Mos Def is perhaps one of the best freestyle artists to have ever done it, no doubt!
