DX News Bits: Lupe Fiasco, The Neptunes
12.19.09 | by Edwin Ortiz
Clearing up misleading information generated through online rumors, Lupe Fiasco took to his blog to set the record straight about his next album, as well as his latest mixtape Enemy Of The State.
While confirming the title of his new album is indeed Lasers, he stated it currently has no release date set. He also made it clear that the single “Solar Midnite,” which first appeared on the soundtrack for Twilight: New Moon will not be included on Lasers.
Turning to his mixtape, which he said was created in about a day, Lupe explained, “Enemy Of The State was NOT, NOT, NOT meant to be an album...so stop (to the ungrateful among you) TREATING it like one. Enemy Of The State was short for a reason...I DONT LIKE TO WASTE SONGS...AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE YOU THAT LONG TO PROVE YOUR NICE IF YOUR ‘REALLY’ NICE.”
In other news, The Neptunes have been crowned “Producers of the Decade” by Billboard.com.
The Virginian production duo’s catalog throughout the millenniums first decade includes over a dozen top ten singles, as well as extensive work with Billboard mainstays Jay-Z, Nelly, Justin Timberlake, and Ludacris. The Neptunes also won three Grammy’s, including Producer of the Year, Non Classical in 2004.
Timbaland and Kanye West landed at #2 and #3 on the list, respectively, with the rest of the spots being occupied by Hip Hop or R&B producers (Scott Storch, will.I.am, Lil Jon, Stargate, Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri) except for the #10 spot, which went to pop-producer Dr. Luke.
