Lupe Fiasco - "Food & Liquor 2" First Week Sales Thread

[That Singer Guy...]

While waiting for the release of his 2011 album Lasers — which experienced a much-publicized delay in the wake of artistic conflicts between Fiasco and Atlantic Records — Fiasco began to work on another album titled Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album. During this same Lasers delay, Fiasco released the song "Go To Sleep" from the album's recording sessions, "out of desperation" to put out new music. The record ended up being very well-received by both fans and critics from the blogosphere. Fiasco announced his intention to include the street single "Go To Sleep" as the introductory track to the finished product. Ultimately, "Go To Sleep" has ended up being a bonus track to the album. Originally, the album was set to be released as a double-disc album as a whole including the second part, but Atlantic Records did not want to participate on that, so the album was divided into two. Part two will be released after Christmas.

fukk it, all in on my dude lupe pushing 130k +

he got that whiteboy "just bought 5 copies" fanbase

 

[THE MACHINE]

First bet...putting a modest 3hunna on 130k +

 

[Ziggiy]

In a perfect world an artist of Lupe's talent who drops an album this excellent would do well over 200k...however we do not live in that world and since Lupe didn't have to cave to the Label and put out forced garbage like Show Goes On to crossover he didn't get the promo that album got, so I'm definitely not expecting him to do over 130, but he's got a Nas level loyal fanbase so like The Cool I'm expecting he 'll do between 100-130k, probably around 115ish..

Either way he's definitely got MY purchase. Lets support quality Hip Hop guys!

the options prove lupe is really

Lupe did Lasers, in exchange, Atlantic let him do whatever he wanted for this album but gave him absolutely no push for this.
