The album that gave Lupe Fiasco the most pain has turned out to be the one that rewarded him the most. Lupe Fiasco has tried to remain outside of the box. His first two albums were unlike other albums released during that period of time. Fans were attracted to Lupe Fiasco because he was different.
Atlantic Records signed Lupe Fiasco because he was different, but he was not treated like T.I. and other major stars. Lupe's content went deeper than most rappers. All of his messages were positive, but he told them in such a deep lyrical mannger. The label wanted Lupe Fiasco to change on his third album.
Eventually Lupe Fiasco gave in, just a little bit, to his label's demands. In the weeks leading up to Lasers' release, Lupe had nothing but bad things to say. However, following the chart-topping success, Lupe Fiasco has been celebrating left and right. He has even had positive things to say about Atlantic Records.
Years of hard work have finally paid off for Lupe Fiasco and he is thankful for it.
