On February 10, Lupe Fiasco released his sixth full-length album, DROGAS Light, which moved just north of 14k first-week copies. During a recent show in Seattle, Washington, the Chicago rapper took five minutes out of his show to speak to the crowd about the quality of the material on that album, which was largely panned by critics.
"DROGAS Light was a compilation of old ass songs we just had laying around," Lupe revealed.Whereas most artists would never want their "old ass songs" to ever see the light of day, Lupe's decision to patch together 14 leftover tracks was part of a strategy he concocted on the fly to screw his former label home Atlantic Records.
Although Lupe announced that he was no longer signed to Atlantic following the release of 2015's Tetsuo & Youth, the 35-year-old emcee was "officially, unofficially" obligated to release one more project (DROGAS Light) to fulfill the terms of his original recording contract.
Unfortunately, Lupe was more concerned with giving the industry machine the middle finger than delivering quality music for his fans.
"Around Lasers, I knew there was going to be some ? . So, I was like, you know what? I will never, ever, ever, as long as I'm on this label, give this label my heart. What I truly believe and what I really feel. Cause I feel like when you work for somebody, they have to show you some love back; show that they deserve your worth. So, since Lasers, I've never really put my all into a project because I feel like Atlantic doesn't deserve it. So I took an L."

Never spent any time listening to dude. But I saw the kick push video back when it was out. This kinda explains why I was never interested. To find out he has that attitude of "fck it put out whatever". Dude one of them that certain types online tried to dictate as "real hip hop lyrical" and all that. A lot of them be white dudes and stuff you can tell by their "knowledge" and how they hate what people in the communities actually be bumpin. He one of "their" rappers. Its like some pathetic opposite game they trying to play or something. Something I always noticed when i started coming to this site I wanted to mention. Like I see it, its just not worth discussing because its ineffective. So this just kinda validates things I been noticed. Dont really have a problem with this dude he's off my radar and this explains a big part of why and validates my instincts but it was never too deep there was just never interest. Like yeah right, people gon bumpsome whatever that somebody aint even trying to make good. Yeah right haha.

Drogas Light was better than "DAMN."?
Or even "Untitled. UnMastered."? -
He went against the machine and people have a problem?
-

I'm glad I didn't buy it then. I hate DROGAS Light.
He should have said this months ago but letting people actually spend their money on it was some ? .
If his ? is good I'll pay for it but I ain't pay for Drogas -
He did say this in not so many words before the album came out. -

LOL yo this ? has gone on record umpteen times saying DROGAS Lite was going to be exactly what you got. Yet after the record dropped people still are surprised & act as if they never heard him say this before. He even explained how there were three different versions of T&Y, the original T&Y is Drogas Lite.
