Lupe Fiasco Starts Writing Novel On Twitter

    Lupe Fiasco has made a career out of writing bars. Now, he’s trying his hand at writing a novel.

    Specifically, Lupe has begun tweeting what he describes as an “Afro-Futurist novel that will be written entirely on twitter,” and “will be published in chapters.”

    Below is chapter one of the work, titled Teriyaki Joe: Neo Harlem Detective (courtesy of hotnewhiphop), which Lupe has tweeted form his account over the last several days:

    “Chapter One: Grits

    Two more smacks should do it. She’s weak. A couple more properly placed palms across the cheeks and she’ll be all his. She’ll make good money for him too. Thick-legged, creole, tall…yeah she’s a real winner. I give her two months. I give him three. Two months before she wises up and figures out she’ll be here forever and three months before she puts a knife in his chest for it. That’s Neo-Harlem for you. That slow burn then that inferno. And you either wood or fire…aint no water just Gin to keep it goin.

    Two slick punks gambling they heart out next to the scene. Couple cops shaking down some junky next to that. That’s the view from the office. .45 on the desk. Digital cigar burning. Sun-Ra coming out the speakers. Antique Rick Ross poster on the wall. Man I miss hip-hop. Damn shame. Mental telephone on vibrate. Mostly getting lost dog calls these days. 10 million worth of Units in the wall safe. Nano-Eames couch for now.

    Could really use some pussy. Real pussy not that robotic Kevlar jellyfish these ladies walking around with today. Fake pussy fake furniture. ‘CHANEL VAGINAL IMPLANTS: Who Says Sex Can’t Be Luxurious’ ‘Coach Vaginal Implants: The Next Level’ ‘NIKE Sport Implants: Just Do It’. The Sun-Ra reaches its crescendo just as I get a call worth answering. —1 Million Units!!! Respond For Details— Money first. I like that.

    POW! POW! The cops shot the junky. Streets gonna be alive tonight. Real alive. I put on my jacket & head for the diner. I need some grits.

    Join us next time for Chapter 2 of ‘TERIYAKI JOE: NEO-HARLEM DETECTIVE’ A WOLFStudio Production.

    ‘Teriyaki Joe: Neo-Harlem Detective’ is an Afro-Futurist novel that will be written entirely on twitter. It will be published in chapters.”

    Lupe Fiasco has made headlines through his Twitter account before, most recently impersonating Rick Ross and 2 Chainz during a Twitter rant.

    1. This nigga needs to turn his computer off it has destroyed whatever respect I had left for his preachy ass. It’s one thing for a muthafucka to stand on his soapbox and tell other people how to live their lives, but you cant do that on records and then turn around and act like a 5 year old on twitter.

    2. real niggas all over the world share tales of the man the myth the legend gucci mane to their children. Big gucci is the realest rapper to ever live the pioneer of legit gangster rap and the trap god. HAIL THE EMPEROR HAIL GUCCI MANE

    3. Lupe has been using twitter to do some hilariously creative shit. Shot out to Freedom of Expression in Creation. Hating ass niggas stay too cool hahahahaha

      1. Typical…God forbid someone actually speak up about shit. They want you to be smart but not TOO smart. Nice but not TOO nice. Paid but not rich. Creative but not risky. Fuck you guys.

    4. Paparazzi spots me
      In the lobby
      Of my high-rise
      I hide
      Behind my shades
      Cause the fame is blinding my eyes
      My god
      I know how Ozzie Oz
      Once had felt when he was as high
      As I have got
      I have got
      To make this stop
      People often warn me
      That the fame ain’t for the vain if heart
      It’ll change those
      Who they had love for you
      Into strangers
      When your fame starts
      It’s a chain reaction
      Locomotion like when the train departs
      Stranger
      Things have happened
      Rapping
      Stacking

      To escape the madness
      When your friends is

      Then you then is
      Time to get all your windows tinted

      1. Yo Anonymous ^, I really hope you were joking and wasn’t giving him credit for this… You know why it seems so “well-written”? lol, nvm… just look it up…

      2. Jay is ill MC. Its too bad you shit heads are so far into your elitist hip-hop snobbery that you cant even appreciate dope lyrics any more.

    5. chief keef ended his carreer its a simple fact ever since chief keef threatened this bitch nigga hes been acting like a clown.

      1. lupe has been a clown in the music industry for years alot of these lames out here like his shit cuz it plays on mtv but really this guy sucks jus remember that song ‘the show goes on’ mf called a window a win-doo thats some lame ass rapping right there wen u gotta change the pronunciation of a word and risk yourself sounding like a clown to make it rhyme hahaha cheif keef did make him look like a bitch tho mf thought he was dropping jewels on the lil nigga ended up getting sonned and apologized lmao

    6. Man, fuck this clown, he fell about as far off as I have ever seen. He doesn’t even make decent music anymore, what the fuck happened to him?

    7. Why the hating? You weren’t hating when Lupe said –

      But my most coveted thing is the high self-esteem
      And a low tolerance for them tellin me how to lean

      Let Lupe be Lupe. He’s the same as he ever was and he shows himself a lot more than most other rappers.

    8. this nigga needs to learn to organize his ideas in a functional manner….no pimp from the future is thinking “two more slaps”….this meh is on some 18-year old sophomore in high school nigga got some Danny-Devito-Michelle-Phiefer encouragement and tried to write a story

    9. The dude can write. I know all you wannabe writers with your stupid ass criticisms are gonna pick it apart. But I appreciate Lupe’s skills. All the other behind the scenes shit is for you girls to bicker about.

    10. lol, ok im not the one to really shut down somebody putting themselves out there, I respect that, but I also have an opinion on this Chapter, and here it is: WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ? This is terrible writing and super weird.

    11. before I looked at the paycheck which was of $8320, I be certain that…my… neighbours mother woz actualie earning money parttime online.. there neighbor has done this less than seventeen months and by now paid for the depts on there appartment and bought a gorgeous BMW 5-series. check it out… http://www.Fb39.com

      I even remember hearing BG from Cash Money say it in an interview, “Nas could rap but I didn’t like those beats.” Plain in simple, I might like “Gimme the Loot” or “Everyday Struggle” and you might, but I know most people can’t relate.

    12. so theres cops shaking down a junkie but letting “two slick punks” gamble right next to that?!?!? gambling in the street is illegal lupe, theres no way any cop would let that go down especially if its in clear view of them. Lupe is the perfect example of a naive kid who was brought up in a bad city but is far from hood ur not hood lupe and you dont know nothing that goes on in the hood you jus showed me that you fckn clown stop w the novel shit you jus tryna make your fictitious thoughts interesting foh

    13. uptil I saw the check ov $6880, I have faith that…my… friend woz like truly bringing home money in their spare time from their laptop.. there sisters neighbour had bean doing this for less than 9 months and a short time ago cleared the loans on there cottage and purchased a new Citron 2CV. try here>>> http://www.Fb39.com

      The random 25 minute video of Childish Gambo just chillin and talking to people, makes real fuckin sense why we need that. Even the 14 second trailer was fucked up.

    14. it just lacks a lot of the detail of an actual novel,(not enough internal conflict)it reads more visual, and didn’t really set up a conflict yet, so noone can really get a grasp of what the story is about (and yes that kind of should happen in the first chapter) but considering this is only one chapter my judgement is premature.

      It sounds like it would be a great graphic novel or could be converted to a decent screenplay.

      Its interesting to say the least.

    15. It’s excellent writing. You mothafuckas don’t read anyway, so how to hell would you know what good writing is? You guys are just negative assholes. What do YOU do? Not a fucking thing. Shut up.
