Lupe Fiasco can get rappers as guests on tracks anyday. So, Fiasco has decided to challenge himself. Reports indicate that the Chi-Town MC will try his hand at getting Pink Floyd to appear on his next LP.
“I got my wish list on my last album so I made this one unattainable,” he recently told Billboard of his first LP, which featured guests such as Jay-Z, Jill Scott, Pharrell Williams and more. “Now I want to work with Pink Floyd, or the remnants of Pink Floyd,“ he added.
While Lupe knows this is sure to be a difficult task, he’s
also confident that it could work. After all, this isn’t the first time he’s had to face this type of situation.

“‘American Terrorist’ wasn’t going to be on the album, because we heard Chick Corea doesn’t like hip-hop,” Fiasco explained. “But
we went the extra mile to make sure he heard the rest of the record and
could see that there was no cursing, and that there was positivity. We
were taking extra care with his work and not putting any garbage out
there. It’s that same approach with Floyd. I’m really serious!”

Fiasco’s next LP, tentatively titled The Cool is sure to have some “intensity.”
“Lyrically, it’s going to be intense, but nothing is recorded as of yet.”
