Lupe Fiasco Explains His ‘Food & Liquor II’ Album Cover (Video)

According to Lupe Fiasco, you can understand why he wears black on stage and chose an all black album cover for “Food & Liquor II” by listening to the late Johnny Cash’s “Man In Black.” Of course, he does explain it a bit in this interview for Fuse TV, too. Lupe also admits… all black packaging makes the album easy to find in stores; AND it makes for a striking collector’s piece for one’s music library. Of course, we grabbed that “Man in Black” and put it in this post for you. Deep. Check it out after the jump.

Lupe Fiasco – “B*tch Bad” (Video)

Lupe Fiasco drops a brand new video for for the controversial song “B*tch Bad”. I’m a fan of Lupe Fiasco because he’s talking about issues & doing things far too many artists in the mainstream are failing or just simply unwilling to address. If you haven’t heard the song already pay close attention to the visuals & the message. The song will appear on Lupe Fiasco’s next album entitled “Food & Liquor 2” slated to be released September 25. With all the songs with similar themes that Lupe leaked already for the project like “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)”  & “Lamborghini Angels”, “Food & Liquor 2” is an appropriate title.

Lupe Fiasco – “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free) [Video]

After all the controversy & supposed beef with Pete Rock over this “Around My Way” record that borrows from the classic Pete Rock & CL Smooth joint “T.R.O.Y.”, Lupe Fiasco finally reveals the brand new video for the single that will appear on his upcoming “Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album” project due September 25th. Lyrically Lupe doesn’t disappoint me in consistently delivering a message in his music just like the recently released “Bitch Bad” single people have been talking about over the last few days as well…..

Lupe Fiasco – “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free)

New single from Lupe Fiasco for “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free) that will appear on his upcoming album “Food & Liquor 2” & it not only samples a classic record but the arrangement is very similar to Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s classic “T.R.O.Y.” (The Reminisce Over You). Personally I think Lupe should have maybe reached out to Pete Rock as a kind gesture before making this a single on his new album. Just out of respect if not for anything else.  (Shrugs) Not long after this song debuted Pete Rock wasn’t too happy with it either speaking out from his twitter page…..Hopefully the brothas will “Straighten It Out”

Lupe Fiasco Starts Working On His Next Album ‘Food & Liquor 2’


Lupe has taken a lot of heat lately but now says he has begun studio work on his next project Food & Liquor 2. Despite your take on Lupe’s politics or his crumby album Lasers, it was a commercial success. Lupe told Billboard that Food and Liquor 2 will build off what he didn’t like about Lasers.
“It’s really taking the lessons I learned from “Lasers,” and applying that to “Food & Liquor.” That’s really it.”
