Will Smith to drop comeback album? He is a legend in the rap game whether you like it or not. He was the first to win a Grammy Award in hip hop. Being smarter than most rap artist, Will Smith found a way to appeal to a larger audience and take on acting and music. Producer La Mar “Mars” Edwards revealed to XXL he was working on Will Smith’s comeback album. He says, ““We’re working on Will Smith, bringing him back.” The question is, have hip hop changed so much that a legend like Will Smith may not have a shot at a successful comeback? I think with the support of good friends like Jay-Z and Nas, Will wont have any problems.

‘To have my fans support it in a major way feels really good,’ rapper tells MTV News. By Jayson Rodriguez Photo: MTV News Six months ago, Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers LP was in limbo and in danger of being ignored by his record label. The Chicago rapper and Atlantic Records were at odds over creative and business decisions. But then Lupe’s fans mobilized to organize the “Fiasco Friday” protest , resulting in the long-delayed Lasers, Lupe’s third album, finally getting a release date, which came earlier this week. The effort of his fans was not lost on the rapper. “I’m joyous, it’s happy times. It’s something that’s never been done before in hip-hop, to have fans protest for the release of a record,” he told MTV News. “That’s never been done before, so that milestone in itself is something to be happy about. The other side of it is that it’s another Lupe Fiasco record. It always feels good to put new music out there.” With Lasers, the talented lyricist aimed to target a larger audience, as evident by his current single, “The Show Goes On.” “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. That his devoted fanbase stayed on the board touched the rapper. “Getting a chance to introduce my message and my movement to a wider audience is always a good thing, but at the same time, to have my fans support it in a major way feels really good,” he said.
