Lupe Fiasco holds protest

2010-09-21 by Casablanca | 21 Comments
Chicago MC Lupe Fiasco is holding a protest on the 15th of October in an effort to force the release of his album. The protest, dubbed "Fiasco Friday" will be held in front of the Atlantic Records building in New York City, to force the label to release his album "Lasers".

According to Lupe's blog:
"2 months ago the WeWantLasers Petition was started and over 28k people signed it so far but the only reaction we got from Atlantic Records was a tweet saying "Lasers is coming" and that's not enough! If you think the petition would be the only thing we'd be doing to get this album released - you're wrong! On October 15th, Lupe Fiasco fans will gather in New York City to protest in front of the Atlantic Records Headquarters! So if you're in New York or close - be there! Wear the Lasers Uniform and bring picket signs! - If you have friends in New York - tell them about it! And for all people who aren't able to be there, spread the word online! (Twitter / Facebook, Blogs etc.) or if there's an Atlantic Records building in your city, you can go there, too."

I'm gonna go because:

A. I'm close to NY
B. I'm not doing anything that day
C. I've been waiting for this goddamn album forever.

I was wondering what the status on this was for the longest time. I can definitely understand that it must be frustrating, as an artist, to have your work sort of "held in captivity" like this.

It's been done for awhile, but Atlantic have been keeping it from being released and I'm not sure if anyone knows why.

I can see why he's so frustrated. I would be all up in arms about this too if it were me.

If the results are anything similar to Lady Gaga's recent protest, then Lupe and homosexuals are gonna be having a real bad week

I hope Lupe doesn't set himself on fire. He does look like a monk after all.

The protest is clearly concerning censorship.(nice alitteration there right?)

What makes Gaga's thing so stupid is that her efforts have such a little chance of paying off. At least this might work because customers can threaten a boycott.
