About Lupe Fiasco:

Influenced by Jay-Z, Common, and Nas, Lupe Fiasco broke onto the hip-hop scene in 2006 with his debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor. His hit single ”Daydreaming" off of his debut album went on to win a Grammy in 2008, while he has received 12 Grammy nominations throughout his career. Powered by his proven lyrical prowess and remarkable artistic vision, Drogas Light is the latest chapter in Fiasco's impressive career since parting with Atlantic Records in 2014.

I thought Lupe 'retired'.

 

[Guymelef]

Drogas as drugs?

 

[kulapik]

Lupe is the only one that would make his launch party a SF tournament smh

 

[spindashing]

I thought Lupe 'retired'.

He released a song soon after that retirement shit if I remember correctly. We all knew he wasn't gonna stop, he was just being a petty son of a bitch due to what happened.

Anyway, it's cool to still see him in the FGC I guess. Did his skills get any better though lmao

 

[cordy]

Gave up on Lupe as soon as he went ballistic over Twitter. After I heard the songs to his new project? Nah bruh, I'm out.

 

[EloquentM]

Lupe fiasco being "Highly anticipated" in 2017. Cmon capcom.

What happened?

 

[GodfatherX]

Is Lupe better at fighting games then at making music post The Cool?

Spoiler

he mains akuma doesn't he

 

[cordy]

Lupe said Logic was better than Kendrick Lamar.

He outta here bruh.

T&Y, Fahrenheit 2/30 c'mon son?

 

[Calm Mind]

"Pizza man don't come here no more"

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I saw this yesterday and for a minute thought Lupe was gonna be a guest character in SFV...

 

[EloquentM]

Lupe said Logic was better than Kendrick Lamar.

He outta here bruh.

Lupe has been crazy for a long ass time. Kanye levels of crazy. He just has a much smaller fan base and the media don't give a fuck about him.

 

[sixteen-bit]

When's the Daigo rematch?

 

[Pics_nao]

Lupe said Logic was better than Kendrick Lamar.

He outta here bruh.

I mean, Logic is pretty dope. Then again, I have a massive raging hard on for Under Pressure. That I never liked Kendrick all that much.

Anyway, I wish I could go just to hear the new album. Tetsuo and Youth was fucking great.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

let me hold this L

 

[Neoxon]

We're also getting a SFV Season 2 character reveal next week.

 

[CountBlack]

New character coming tho

 

[Dimitri LH]

Yeah saw this yesterday, Drogas is a dumb name though and I wonder if capcom even knows what it means.

 

[Tripon]

Yeah saw this yesterday, Drogas is a dumb name though and I wonder if capcom even knows what it means.

It means that they're desperate enough to tie CPT to a famous person's rap album.

 

[RedAssedApe]

the mighty daigo has fallen to undercard status

 

[thsantos]

Between Lupe Fiasco and Drogas Light, portuguese speakers on GAF will surely misinterpret the thread, like myself.

 

[toastyToast]

Lupe carrying SFV on his back.

 

[Gurnlei]

That art had me hyped for a new character.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

It means that they're desperate enough to tie CPT to a famous person's rap album.

That bitterness

 

[daffy]

Thought drogas light was a new character

 

[Assanova]

about a decade off, lol

Lupe fiasco being "Highly anticipated" in 2017. Cmon capcom.

Tetsuo and Youth was amazing. I can't wait for Drogas Light if it is as good as his last album.

 

[Village]

Gave up on Lupe as soon as he went ballistic over Twitter. After I heard the songs to his new project? Nah bruh, I'm out.

Recently?
What he do?

 

[Pompadour]

We're also getting a SFV Season 2 character reveal next week.

As in before the 15th? The Twitter app uses Bing to translate but I don't see where a date is given.

 

[plasmawave]

Daigo x Lupe rematch.

 

[Salty Rice]

I thought Lupe 'retired'.

Well he is a fraud after all.

 

[Tripon]

That bitterness

LOL, more like sarcasm.

 

[Neoxon]

The event is happening right now. Apparently the stream will be live any second now, & LI Joe already got to try out Kolin.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lupe fiasco being "Highly anticipated" in 2017. Cmon capcom.

He last album was amazing and he has a ton of fans so... yep.

DROGAS Light is solid. Not nearly as good as Tetsuo & Youth.

Is Lupe better at fighting games then at making music post The Cool?

Spoiler

he mains akuma doesn't he

It's amazing how a rapper puts out one mediocre album (Lasers) and nothing else matters after. F&L2 was good. T&Y was amazing.

Damn, rappers get shit on easily.

 

[Izuna]

I won't waste my time with this album unless I read 1000 people say it's shockingly good.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Wish Capcom would stop this Lupe nonsense. I mean sure he likes the games, no problem but this stuff is weird.

 

[LelouchZero]

Aha this is really cool!

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Did he ever release a full version of the Evo song?

I think it was titled "Killers".

 

[Neoxon]

PR Balrog's all about that "No Fun Allowed" life. Picking Balrog at a exhibition event where Kolin is playable ahead of her release.

 

[RecRoulette]

Did he ever release a full version of the Evo song?

I think it was titled "Killers".

Didn't he say he would put it on Soundcloud if someone from the US won Capcom Cup?

 

[exfatal]
