According to Amazon, the official single from Lupe’s upcoming album will be released on July 7th. We posted an unfinished version that was later taken down per request from FNF. They have a 30 second snippet on the page as well if you’d like to check it out. Shouts to LupEND for the heads up. Hit the jump for the full artwork…
FNF U
i d/l but didnt listen 2it until late but that Shining Down fiya…as expected from da homie Lupe. Luv that auto-tune line….he b way ova niggas heads tho
too plain
Yes.
Yeah a bit more effot could’ve been put into that artwork Haha, good song despite but I was expecting something a bit more artistic then bold print. Its just artwork for the track though.
terrible artwork, dissapointment.

i bet you the song isnt even different.
i like lupe’s music but sometimes his attitude… smh
^^the snippet already sounds different. theres not that silly effect on santos voice.
this sucks =\
haha this shit sound the same who u kidding shake
I guarantee that this won’t be the artwork either. It’s either a ploy to throw us off by Lupe, or he’ll just figure it out along the way, like Drake and his camp did with the “Best I Ever Had” artwork, and it will change by the time they have the official release.
Or maybe us saying something about it on the blogs will be heard!
^^the difference between drakes single artwork and this is that its already submitted to amazon, etc. drakes first version was just posted on the site and it got “denied” so they went in and redid it.
“Hit the jump for the full artwork…”
lol It’s just the parental advisory sticker. haha
*waits for fan alternative covers to come.
The song was good but eh, I hope he does a single and a street release ie. Superstar and Dumb it Down so the more involved plans get that lyrical ridiculousness along with everyone else getting a single.
* fans not plans
Why did the version that leaks sound like it had more enrgy than the final versin, lol.
^^ I know what you mean
I wished they kept it amped up but I guess they want this to be a chill song like his first singles usually are: Kick Push, SuperStar, and now Shining Down while his street/second singles are usually a bit more energetic: I gotcha, Dumb It Down, whatever his 2nd is this time(army girl?)

Just died laughing….
damn niggas hating on artwork for a single now? lol. dope as usual lupe
So Lasers should be dropping around October, I hope.
OCTOBER?!
I thought I heard August!
Man, WTFlip
u call that artwork???? no shots
I was lucky enough to grab that song before the link was taken down. The song is Dope!. He’s way over ninjas heads with this one.
I just peeped the snippet and it’s definitely sounding much better. The hook is too dope.
I can’t wait for this to drop!
Yeah the snippet sounds great.
Especially the ending of the hook when Santos wails alooooonnne. Man the video is going to be 2dope!

lol i actually bypassed the artwork lookin for somethin underneath…..then saw and was laughin at the simplicity…..it almost seems like intentional irony….the niggas heads he be goin over can at least understand the artwork…lmao.
@kal its janderson215@gmail.com
Chorus is different than the unfinished and the reverb sounds harder. I doubt Lasers will come in october. Most likely end of September.
^^^
Unfortunately I think your pretty accurate.
Tho Lupe did get a haircut mixing and label pushes will have the album come out closer to the end of 09
