Lupe Fiasco Quotes

I'm looking at "what can I do to propel, not only myself as an artist, but also my company." What kind of music can I make to ensure that I get in the arenas and get in the faces of people that normally wouldn't listen to hip-hop but how can I do that now. It's not a song about rolling through the hood on "24's" with a tech-9. That ain't gotta do it. You've got to take a risk. You've got to be diverse if you want to propel yourself beyond just being a rapper and going platinum or 2x platinum or whatever. A lot of doors get slammed in people's faces because of the content of their music, you know?

It opens me up to a lot of different arenas, a lot of different type of situations, you know like Tony Hawk will call. You know what I'm sayin'? I can just image if my songs was about shootin' up, and like sellin' cocaine, I doubt Tony Hawk would be callin' you know?
