    I agree, something seems fishy here. They've had the album since December and we have to wait all the way til next March to get it? Is Atlantic buying time? Also, are we still meeting? I'll be in NY regardless.

      Yeah I'm confused and concerned. Why wait so long? And what exactly did Lupe have to agree to in order to change Atlantic's mind? Or was the simple idea of the protest happening enough for Atlantic to cave in? We need more details!!!

        They're doing the promoting that they refused to do back when Lupe didn't wanna sign the 360 deal. This is what I'm assuming.

          Anybody see this book before? I want it.

          This came through in the mail today and caught my interest. Similar to Jay-Z's upcoming book, Decoded, Understand Rap provides explanations to some of the game's most iconic quotables. The book drops today and is also available on Amazon. Peep an excerpt below. Lyric: "I was strapped wit' gats when you were cuddled wit' cabbage




          Lyric: “I was strapped wit’ gats when you were cuddled wit’ cabbage patch.”
          Lyric From Song “Forgot About Dre”
          On Album 2001
          By Artist Dr. Dre
          Explanation: When you were still a child and had no concerns other than playing with dolls in the comfort and safety of your home, I was carrying guns around in my dangerous neighborhood.

          Lyric “I ain’t pass the bar, but I know a little bit”
          Lyric From Song “99 Problems”
          On Album The Black Album
          By Artist Jay-Z
          Explanation: Although I haven’t educated myself concerning the matters necessary to complete the examination lawyers take to be able to practice law, I have enough knowledge to be a very successful rapper and entrepreneur and to have sustained a level of wealth greater than many lawyers.

            ^ Thats kind of funny but did they not miss part of the point about Jays line about the bar? Is that line not referencing him getting pulled over by a cop and knowing his rights?

            fail.

                I like Lupe and enjoy his music as much as the next guy but I ain't making an exception for him to buy his album.

                Ain't bought a CD from the Store in years and as long as the Internetz is still up and running, that's not going to change anytime soon. Glad his album is finally coming out though

                  supposedly today/tonight we're getting a song from Kanye, Lupe, and Pharrell.

                  Not holding my breath because everything Kanye touches turns to wackness, ESPECIALLY when it's hyped.

                    Think of it as a vote for good music to be in the industry.

                      I always buy Lupe as well.

                      I download 99% of the music i get these days but like to support the lesser known guys i really like like Lupe, Atmosphere etc.

                            =(

                            How is it compared to the other G.O.O.D. Friday releases?

                            I'll check it out tomorrow when I get on my PC.

                              sounds like a throwaway mixtape quality song...Lupe does go in a bit though...Pharrell is laughably amateurish on the mic, he sounds so timid I can't even imagine what he would he sound like without a GREAT engineer carrying him. Not to mention his lyrics wouldn't put him in the top 500,000 mc's in the US.

                              another completely non-memorable verse from Kanye, besides the fact that he makes me want to throw up when he starts adlibbing during Lupes verse

                              1-2 weeks and this is out of 99% of hip hop fans' playlists and forgotten about

                              /weekly kanye sucks now rant

                              edit: better off going with the new Consequence track http://usershare.net/?dlink=69gomnp4p5iu
                              or Dollar remix with Joell Ortiz Red Care Maino Papoose and Cassidy http://usershare.net/?dlink=513wwtdjs06w
