Lupe Fiasco says his next album will be his last

by Tyler Munro

Lupe Fiasco stirred the pot a little bit when he said the Chicago youth movement makes him nervous on a Baltimore radio station.

“Chief Keef scares me. Not him specifically, but just the culture that he represents,” he said. “When you drive through Chicago…The hoodlums, the gangsters, and the ones you see killing each other. And the murder rate in Chicago is skyrocketing and you see who’s doing it and perpetrating it, they all look like Chief Keef.”

Chief Keef responded by calling Fiasco a “a hoe ass nigga” and saying he’d “slap him like da lil bitch he is.”

And it looks like that was the final straw. What followed was the following series of tweets from Lupe:

The literature thing might catch you off guard until you go back a few years when Lupe first promised early retirement.

“There are other ways besides putting out an album that allow me to channel my creative energy,” he said to ContactMusic.com “And I’m writing a book about a window washer.”

As for the “next album is his last” comments, time will tell whether he’s referring to Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1, which comes out September 25th, or its rumoured sequel.
