It seems Lupe Fiasco is taking some time out for himself before the release of his long-awaited album Lasers. On Tuesday, he announced via his website LupeFiasco.com that he will drive from Chicago to Los Angeles in what he calls the first annual “Run to the Sun.”
Although he is not making stops to perform, he said via frequent Twitter updates that he is making the trek “For the love and for the kids,” as well as homeless shelters, food pantries, and violence awareness. Lupe’s updates also included his music of choice on the road including Metallica’s St. Anger, Janelle Monae’s ArchAndroid, Nas and Damian Marley’s Distant Relatives, and of course, his own Lasers.
Lasers has not yet been given an official release date.

Lupe is wasteing his time this NWO shit is starting to take place…the news won’t cover all the shit that’s going on in greece but the major news shows r all on that lohan shit on they that to keep u non aware of the shit that’s going on in the real world
What the fuck kinda campaign is this?? Hell, i should also take a road trip n tweet my ass off for the kids in haiti n the sea turtles.
MAN I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO READ THIS
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS
FUCK LUPE!
DUDE FELL OFF HARD.
Dude your a tool !!! How did Lupe fall off? His album has not even dropped yet,,, His first 2 are classics! And say him last month with BOB and he fuckin killed it!
Sorry its not your bubble gum pop,jerkin garbage..fuckin fag
Who cares really, those twitter rappers make me sick…We don’t give a fuck about you doing a road trip to LA…
funny how all you fucking haters are trash talking dude for doing something positive with his celebrity status. God forbid a rapper do something to benefit other people besides himself and his crew.
How does it help people to drive from Chicago to LA? That guy is an egocentric and he wants ya to think he cares about the community (giving back and all that BS) but that’s just marketing.He’s just promoting his album…
so your saying him donating his time for homeless shelters, food pantries, and speaking out against violence doesn’t help anyone?
What planet are you from?
Well he said he’s doin it:” For the love and for the kids, as well as homeless shelters, food pantries, and violence awareness” but what it is exactly he’s doin???
How does driving from Chicago to Los Angeles help anybody??? It helps gas stations thats about it.
“he is making the trek “For the love and for the kids,” as well as homeless shelters, food pantries, and violence awareness”
he’s gonna help people along the way

The comments on this article are depressing….hip hop has got to do better.
funny how its people on here questioning exactly what he’s doin instead doin whatever they can to help…when these stupid ass reality shows come on with the same premise we never question that…damn!!! the world fell off!
Well, helping people in need is a good thing to do but do u have to tell everybody on twitter about it. There are people in this world who spends their lifetime helping others but we never hear about them, and they’re not doing that as a mean 4 promotion…Don’t get it wrong but u American, when u do something to help others u have to tell everybody about it like u’re seeking recognition or whatever…If u really do it to help why do u have to go on twitter and act like”look what i’m doin to help people in need” u don’t have to tell us about it, just do it…It’s kinda like the big oil companies doin things 4 the environment just 4 people to think they care while they don’t! Marketing, it’s all about marketing nowadays…
Why St. Anger? that album sucked
Lupe is a little off with this one..I knew he did the MT. Kilamanjaro climb for charity which was really cool but I don’t know how this road trip is 4 charity..unless someone sponsored it..he really is one of the nicest in the game right now but I’m with the dude that posted twitter rappers are corny…
Even if it is for self promotion, being a celebrity brings attention to a cause for whatever reason they do it, they need to be doing more of it, a replier said Americans always have to tell people they do it, thats because it inspires others to do it, so what if an artist gets media attention and you feel its exploiting a cause, what matters is the attention and awareness that artist brings to the cause. Most of these artist command 50,000 an appearence so they are compensated with media. I wish more people were like Lupe, Princess Diana, Colby O’Donis, Bono, Jerry Lewis these artist give tireless of themselves to help others, so should we, does anyone know how we can help Lupe tells us here we wanna help
ohh well…. I am going to have sex now….. for the kids and homeless shelters….
