Hey Lupe me and all my friends in Cleveland listen to your music all the time and your by far the best artist out right now. My question is when will you be releasing more mixtapes? you should go with the style you did for a rhyming ape becuase that was the best mixtape you made. And also hows LUP end going?

LUP end is about 10% done. And I don't think I'm doing any more mixtapes.

Female fans are cool. There stand-offish

LOL but seriously, my screen about got sprayed at least once. Definitely a good and interesting read. I think my favorite part was the crickets part... creative way to say no comment!

The questions were good and the answers were straight forward and to the point.

Gallardo Bastardo said...

Oh, NOW he supports Obama. You did notice that he said maybe and probably about LupEND being his last CD?

Is it just me or does he sound arrogant? I don't know it is something about the interview... like he didn't care to much for it. AND he said LUPEND wasn't coming for a long time, why did he tell them it was coming soon?! lol the crickets was funny and the obama part. I guess he doesn't have a choice with mccain prehistoric a$$ lmao!
