Lupe Fiasco Wants To Rap On André 3000″s New Album Of Flutes

Andrew 3000 announcement that his new album New blue sun wouldn’t be a rap album, but it looks like Lupe Fiasco is planning to make one. Shortly after André announced the album, Lupe hit Twitter to declare his intentions. “I’m gonna rap all over this 3stacks album and put it in the time capsule for future generations,” he wrote, leaving fans unsure if he was joking or dead serious.

Here’s the thing: This is one of those things that Lupe would absolutely do. The hyper-intellectual Chicago rapper has already used a number of unusual concepts for his albums and mixtapes, from rapping over mainstream hits to Enemy of the State: A Love Story to rap ABOUT dinosaurs on a track titled, aptly, “Dinosaurs” from his 2020 Home EP with producer Kaelin Ellis.

He’s been just as unpredictable and inscrutable as André over the past decade (although much more productive), and if anyone could pull off a rap album about a bunch of flute instruments, it’s probably Lupe – if not André himself. (they also share a propensity to extravagant song titles). In his announcement, André said: “I don’t want to troll people. I don’t want people to think, “Oh, this André 3000 album is coming!” And you play it and you’re like, “Oh man, no verses.” So even on the packaging you will see that it says: “Warning: no bars. »

As for why he didn’t rap New blue sunthe elusive musician said Zane Lowe“I try to write all the time…I don’t have rap like that…Sometimes it feels inauthentic to rap because I don’t have anything to say that way.”

Well, that might not be the case once Lupe is done. Let’s hope it’s sincere, if only because we need to know what it will look like.
