‘If we’re gonna go and try to get on radio … there’s a certain format that you have to fit to do that,’ he tells MTV News. By Jayson Rodriguez Lupe Fiasco Photo: MTV News Lupe Fiasco is undoubtedly one of the most talented MCs in hip-hop, but he is still working to earn a place in the upper echelon of rap superstars. With the Chicago rapper’s third album, Lasers, out Tuesday (March 8), Lupe makes a leap in that direction. “For this record, being a more popular record and being the goal of this record from its inception, no matter what changes and phases and label battles that it went through, it was always about, ‘Let’s take it to another level,’ ” he told MTV News. “If we’re gonna go and try to get on radio, trying to capture that bigger audience, there’s a certain format that you have to fit to do that. That’s the growth that the fans want, the underrated things that the critics say. So to achieve those things, you have to play that [game]. You can’t say, ‘I wanna play for the Yankees,’ and you’re a football player. That’s not gonna work. You have to learn how to play baseball.”
