Lupe Fiasco is moaning about how much work he has to do.
The rapper has said he’s wearing down because his “whole energy for making hip hop music is slowing down” with reports going on to say he might retire after his 3rd album. Yeah, must be hard making all that money.
In other Lupe news, the “supergroup” [supercrap?] of him, Kanye and Pharrell are deciding whether or not to release an album, as they’ve only done one song, which was on a Kanye mixtape.
Kick, push off mate.
