Chicago, Illinois emcee Lupe Fiasco has loyal fans. So much so that the supporters organized “Fiasco Friday” last October 15, to protest the rapper’s delayed Lasers album release outside of Atlantic Records. The grassroots campaign drew not only crowds, but it attracted publicity, and Lupe himself, along with Warner Music Group North American Chairman Lyor Cohen.
With Lasers now on the books for a March 8, 2011 release, Lupe Fiasco’s fans have organized another grassroots gathering. Dubbed “Fiasco Friday II,” fans are asking each other to unite at New York City’s Union Square on the release date to purchase the emcee’s third album. Three other cities, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles will have similar organized events.
HipHopSite.com has posted the Facebook group’s call to action message. Lupe Fiasco has now endorsed the event, through Twitter:
Fiasco Friday 2? Wow! Dedicated #Lasers http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=186262988056343

LUPE FIASCO IS THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE….GOAT!
AFTER LASERS HE’LL BE THE GREATEST RAPPER DEAD OR ALIVE….
MY OPINION ASS HOLES….
hahahahah
That’s the truth. Ignore the dumbass laughin’.
he’s only been around for less than a decade and apparently has surpassed all the GREATS to become the G.O.A.T.???
Get tha fuck outta here..i give Lupe props but thats too excessive how ppl are too quik to crown him..10 years down the line then maybe you can crown him.
he’s surpassed em all..
It doesn’t matter that he’s only been around for less than a decade.. Time doesn’t make the rapper any better or worse , lupes lyrical content and passion in his work is unparalled – noone in the game is fuckin w. him his shit IS timeless … He will be recognized by a lot more people in 10 years as the greatest but that’s just because most people can’t even wrap their heads around his music it will take time for people to realize how great he is…he’s on a completely different level than any rapper i’ve ever heard & he WILL prove it again when he drops LASERS…
….AND that’s the truth.
ehh, i bet not as many people will show up as they did for FF I
Hopefully I can go, either way Im gonna cop LASERS on march 8th and maybe again on march 11th, def gonna be album of the year Lupe is the best lyricist in the game right now, LASERS!
Good strategy. If they start organizing something else on the release date, Atlantic will be a lot less likely to push shit back unless they want even more bad publicity.

I’d put him in my top 20 easily, but it’s too early for him to be called G.O.A.T

SECOND JOBS STINK! I chose “cash gifting†instead. Now I’m pulling in more than $2,000 a day
