Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Friday Track Is Outdated, Says Lupe Fiasco

Last week's Kanye West G.O.O.D. Friday release, "Don't Stop," was reportedly recorded two years ago, according to one of the song's guest stars, Lupe Fiasco.

Fiasco stated that the latest West track originated in 2008.

"We went on the Glow in the Dark tour and it was just kinda like, maybe, maybe not, let's do a record, let's see ... so, 'Don't Stop' is kinda one of the records from that creative process a couple years ago," Lupe said, adding that West's bars may have been updated. "The song is two years old. I think 'Ye verse might be a little recent but I don't know...That song is like a song that we did in the midst of being [Child Rebel Soldier] when we were actually going to put out an album and just really wanted to test records and see if we should do more records like that, or should we do more records like 'Us Placers' or ... more down-low records, up-top records. We were just trying to figure out what should we do and that was one of the experiments that was bananas."

The record was West's follow-up to last week's "Christian Dior Denim Flow."

In the latest offering in Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Friday series, supergroup Child Rebel Soldier receives a resurrection. CRS, comprised of Kanye West, Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco, has not released a track since 2007's "Us Placers." However, at the premier of his Runaway film in London, Kanye hinted that a the group was not dead. That statement seems to be confirmed with the release of their latest track "Don't Stop!"

Circa 2007, West, Fiasco and Pharrell were planning to form a hip-hop supergroup entitled "Child Rebel Soldier."

Having already released one song via an online mixtape, CRS (Child Rebel Soldiers), the hip-hop supergroup featuring Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, is hoping to find time to craft an entire album. "Us Placers," which samples Thom Yorke's "The Eraser," was performed by Fiasco earlier this month during his set at Lollapalooza in Chicago. "Now [our labels are] working it out," the artist tells Billboard.com. Whoever is going to pay is going to pay a whole h*ll of a lot. Everybody is excited, [but] 'Us Placers' is the only record we have."

West is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming Dark Twisted Fantasy LP.

Kanye West finally confirmed on Twitter yesterday that his upcoming album will be released on November 22nd. Despite early word that the album would titled Good A** Job, Kanye tweeted that Fantasy "is and always was" the name of his fifth album. "The first song on the album is called 'Dark Fantasy' produced by The Rza co-produced by me and No I.D.," Kanye wrote. He added that some of his G.O.O.D. Friday free downloads will appear on Fantasy.

Lupe Fiasco Moved By "Laser" Outcry, "It Brought Me To Tears"

Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco has opened up about a recent fan-launched online petition demanding Atlantic Records to put out his long-delayed Lasers album.

Calling the move a sign of progression, Lupe revealed how much of an impact his fans had on him.

"I love to see progression," he said yesterday via phone. "I love it. I love to see this petition. It brought me to tears a couple of times like, 'these n---as really f--- with me. All these kids and these fans f--- with me and it's some positive sh--. Go to Wearenotlosers.com and see what Lasers really is. ... That's what they're petitioning for. Listen to 'I'm Beamin,' the song. It reaffirms what we're doing...I don't think the label cares about an album. I don't think n---as care. People just want their number-one record. They don't care about the rest of the album. I was talking to an engineer the other day and he said, 'These n---as don't even care about mixing an album no more.' They just want the first three songs. Three singles. They get them, one, two, three, they don't care what's on the rest of the album. I know this for sure. I've seen it. You can't blame them because of the attention span of the game and the attention span of music, how fast things are going. You only got them one, two, three shots. I'm not no fool. I'm looking at it like 'Yeah, you're right.'"

The petition was aimed at Lupe's label home, Atlantic Records, and demanded a release date for Lasers.

"Dear Atlantic Records: The fans 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 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 si 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."

Lupe's ex-producer Prolyfic called him out last week over the album's delay.

Prolyfic, born David Lemar Ewing Jr., took to Twitter last week (July 23) to express his sentiments regarding the Chicago emcee's oft-delayed album, to be released on Atlantic Records. According to the beatmaker, who produced a bevy of songs for Fiasco, including 'American Terrorist' and 'Pressure' off his debut effort, Food & Liquor,' the album fans are petitioning for is a lost cause. "Ain't no release date on #WeWantLazers cuz ain't NO F*CKING HITS on it! cuz @LupeFiasco REFUSES to makes hits.. not that he cant.. he wont!" Prolyfic wrote via Twitter.

Lupe has since responded and pointed out Prolyfic's inability to understand his situation.

While Prolyfic blamed the delay of Lasers on his belief that it had no hit singles for AtlanticRecords to get behind, Lupe stated, "PRO!...my man...[you're] not my manager...fall back...take all that 'advice' and further your career with it." As the two Chicago artists haven't worked together since 2006's Food & Liquor, he continued, "You put yourself on the outside...so don't be salty now that [you're] being treated like an outsider...My career is mine. And I'll proceed with it how I wish. [You're] ignorant to my situation and why WE move how WE do. Speak what you know, not what you think you know." Fiasco added, "Frankly you know very little. But I KNOW you lil bro, I'm the reason they even know you at all...I pray you sell a few beats the same way [you're] selling yourself right now. When the music stops who's gonna have a chair to sit in?"
