Three years of anticipation have boiled down to seven days of waiting before Lupe Fiasco releases his third studio album. On this album, Lupe has a star-studded lineup. Lupe Fiasco had only a few big names on his previous albums. But, with Lasers, he has gone all out.

The album would have been released years ago, but Lupe Fiasco has had disagreements with Atlantic Records. Finally, Lupe gave in to some of their demands. The result of this was them finally agreeing to release his album. Excited because of this, he has been heavily promoting the new release.

With the album set to come next week, Lupe Fiasco opened up about the material. Describing this album, Fiasco said he loves and hates this album. Listening to the music and the subject matter on his songs fills Lupe Fiasco with joy. But, when he thinks about all of the fighting that went on with his label as he tried to record, and the delays, he gets highly upset.

Outside of the feelings, Lupe has some songs on the album that he likes and some songs on the album that he does not like. Then, he has some songs in which he is neutral on and will let the fans decide. Lupe Fiasco thinks of the songwriters and artists who did not want to work with him on this album when he listens to some songs and he gets upset. But, when he thinks about his album finally being released, he quickly cheers up, acknowledging it is a sharp turn from 2007's The Cool.
