Lupe Fiasco tweeted, “Lasers is out of my hands guys and gals…it’s done and that’s all I can tell you…when they drop it…they drop it…so drop it…”. The good fans over at Kanye Live decided to act quick and started an online petition. Within three days since it’s creation, the petition has impressively gotten 9,709 signatures. It’s even gotten recognition from artists such as Big Boi of Outkast, Talib Kweli, B.o.B, Janelle Monáe, and Lupe himself. The BBC has run a story, and the movement keeps growing.
Even if you are not a fan of Lupe, it’s ridiculous to think all that hard work was put into an album, and it’s just sitting there. Surely the label has put out much riskier music then this. And with a good track record already, one would think Lupe would get a pass.
One Thirty BPM is endorsing this petition, and we hope our readers take the time to sign it.

Dear Atlantic Records,
The fans have been below have been waiting for the release for Lupe Fiasco’s album “Lasers” for over a good year now. Since when it was originally announced finished last summer, there has still yet to be a release date announced. It has even been stated by Lupe Fiasco the artist himself, that the album is in fact completed. Enough is enough, we demand that you stop playing around and give us the album that we have been highly anticipating since the release of The Cool.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
