What this gotta do with CRS?

In short, Lupe Fiasco wants to transform the supergroup into a solo venture. He recently talked about Child Rebel Soldier during an interview with Stereogum, and delved into the brand's potential. He even provided a time table on when fans can expect new CRS music. "I’m gonna reboot CRS in the next six months, maybe next year," Fiasco stated. "Tyler, [The Creator] has one of the CRS records. But it’s gonna go back to the original energy, which was me rapping over Radiohead beats." The concept of "original energy" was enlightening for readers, as the rapper detailed how CRS first started.

Evidently, Lupe Fiasco wanted to rap about the dark side of fame, and Kanye West and Pharrell were so intrigued by the concept they offered the Chicago rapper beats. It snowballed into songs in which all 3 artists rhymed. "Us (Placers)" and "Everybody Noze (Remix)" are the only official CRS releases in which this happened. Fiasco has had a bit of a renaissance in recent years, however, so dusting off one of his biggest "what if" projects makes sense. The rapper's love for Radiohead is what initially sparked his desire to rhyme about darker subject matter. He conceded, though, that a full-fledged collab with the British band would be difficult.
Instead, Lupe Fiasco wants to turn Child Rebel Soldier into a solo album driven by Radiohead samples. "I’ll just go back to that original [vibe]," he told the outlet. "Just go back and find those dope loops and samples from Radiohead or their solo records. Loop the sh*t up, and make little beats out of it, and crush with some dope ass lyrics." Fiasco has done just that on fan favorite songs like "The National Anthem" and "Animal Pharm," so there's no reason to think he can't do it now. That said, fans will never get a chance to hear what a three-man CRS album would have sounded like.

I wonder how Lupe would sound on a Tyler beat.

I wish Lupe would rap alongside other rappers again

A lot of dope rappers out right now but he won’t collab with anyone for his or their project
