Lupe Fiasco Clears Up Rumors Over Album Titles, 'New Moon' Contribution & New Mixtape
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 12/10/2009

Lupe FiascoThe buzz around Lupe Fiasco has started building as of late, as he re-focused, got back in the studio and started dropping new music.

His most recent release was a mixtape titled Enemy of the State, which he dropped on Thanksgiving. He's gearing up for the next one, titled Friend of the People, set for Christmas.

Lupe also recently released the official music video for his contribution to the "Twilight: New Moon" soundtrack called "Solar Midnite".

(Watch the music video for "Solar Midnite" here Icon - Video).

So, with all the chatter surrounding some of his recent moves, and rumors over his next album, Lupe took to his official blog to clear the air about a few things.

In an entry called "Just The Facts...", he clears up a few misconceptions and rumors. Here's it is in its entirety (via LupeFiasco.com):

Hi guys...Lupe Here...

There seems to be a lot...A LOT...of misconception and misguided info floating around the net...so for the sake of clarity and so that everyone (HOPEFULLY) will be on the same page let me reaffirm and debunk some things and just turn down the general noise that is surrounding Lupe Fiasco...thats me...

My Third Album is Titled "LASERS" not "WE ARE LASERS" or "LUPE.N.D."...

MY NEXT ALBUM IS NOT TITLED "LUPE.N.D."...

"LASERS" is NOT my last and final album...

"LASERS" does NOT drop in 2009...

"LASERS" does NOT HAVE A RELEASE DATE YET...

"SOLAR MIDNITE" is NOT a single off of "LASERS"...Nor was it intended to be apart of "LASERS" project...

"SOLAR MIDNITE" was exclusively done at the request of the "Twilight: New Moon" Team to be apart of their film, motion picture soundtrack and as a vehicle to promote the film...NOT TO PROMOTE "LASERS"...

I produced "SOLAR MIDNITE"

I'm not SELLING OUT by doing a song for NEW MOON...

People thought I "SOLD OUT" when I did "Kick, Push"...

I LOVE "SOLAR MIDNITE"...

"SOLAR MIDNITE" is NOT a HIP-HOP RECORD...

I've done ROCK or ROCK-like records on all of my previous albums...i.e. "The Instrumental" "Hello/Goodbye"...

I HAVE A PUNK BAND CALLED JAPANESE CARTOON WHICH I SING IN AND PRODUCE FOR...I DO NOT GO BY "LUPE FIASCO" WHEN I DO SONGS WITH JAPANESE CARTOON...NOR PERCIVAL FATS!!!...I USE MY REAL NAME...

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...

ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS WATERED DOWN ON PURPOSE...BECAUSE ITS NOT AN ALBUM...

MOST OF ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS DONE IN ONE DAY...

IF YOU DONT HEAR IT FROM ME OR DJ BUSY IT MAY NOT BE THE COMPLETE TRUTH!!!

Its more noise out there and stupid rumor but I really don't have the stamina...

FNF UP...
