I think children have the capacity to understand that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. I vaguely remembered the singles, but I wouldn’t judge until having the entire body of work.
Even with the rumors of Lasers being a, “mainstream” sounding Fiasco, I believed in the artist that gateway’d my introduction into a higher level of lyricism. There was even a petition that gathered over 5,000 signatures for the album's release. On October 15, 2010, fans marched around Atlantic Records' Midtown Manhattan offices and even got CEO Lyor Cohen to come out and confirm the album was coming. It dropped on Thanksgiving, I remember stuffing my face and tripping balls because Lupe rapped over "Fireman" and called it "Yoga Flame." There was a very public feud between Lupe and Atlantic Records, they were withholding the release of his next album, Lasers.
In between those four years, we got songs like " Go To Sleep" and "I’m Beaming", super-groups like CRS and All City Chess Club, we even got a mixtape, Enemy of the State: A Love Story. Lupe didn’t drop another album until 2011.
