Talk:Lasers (album)

Article
Relapse 2 is unreleased and has just about the same amount of speculation as Lasers. BUT it has an article, so this one deserves it too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Osh33m (talk • contribs) 06:55, 10 June 2009

Is the album cover currently posted the official album art?--99.234.115.165 (talk) 04:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

No, Lupe said on his twitter that it was NOT the official cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.111.118.140 (talk) 23:30, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Release
hey where'd this release date come from? his website dont say it and didnt see it on his twitter :S —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.58.148 (talk) 17:36, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

i concur this release date has come out of thin air with no references--99.234.115.165 (talk) 04:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a reference. SE   KinG . User page.  Talk. 06:52, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

With an official single possibly being released from the project that was to follow LASERS, I think it's time to stop pushing the 2010 release until we get word from someone at the label as to which project we are actually getting. Therefor the date should be listed as TBD or to be determined (71.53.169.48 (talk) 07:13, 22 August 2010 (UTC))

Steppin Lasers
Lupe has put a album cover on his Twitter (His pic http://twitter.com/LupeFiasco) so am i correct in assuming he has renamed it to be called "steppin lasers" Though this is the name of his tour maybe not the album thoughts?--99.234.115.165 (talk) 05:50, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Nope. That's just for the tour. The album is still called "Lasers". TheGoogler (talk) 04:04, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

March 2010??
The release date on this page says march 2010 now wheres the reference? Seems with him playing 3 songs in a concert someone decided it was being released this month.--216.66.130.165 (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

In an interview with Australian radio station Triple J, Lupe revealed that the album had been submitted to his label with an estimated release date of mid-March 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CaptainCharisma7X (talk • contribs) 21:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Please... Mid-March 2010 is next week! He'd most certainly have a new single out by now (and not I'm Beamin, that track wasn't official it was a promo single). I'm removing the speculated March release date comment.

Ok, well, it is most likely the album will be released in this quarter of the year, and his tour ends in around April, so the album should be out by then. I just find that only putting the year is misleading and could mean any release date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CaptainCharisma7X (talk • contribs) 19:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Actually it looks like Atlantic is pushing "I'm Beamin" as the official single bc they shot the video for it on the 25th of March..I'm not saying they wont drop another single b4 the album hits but IDK looks like they are really trying to push "I'm Beamin" and if thats the case we wont see the album until the end of April or Mid-May or maybe even later than that... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.104.147.190 (talk) 15:54, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM FAIL
You say Shining Down is a single and you put Show Goes on in another "Singles" section saying it's the first section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dasanik97 (talk • contribs) 01:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Who keeps deleting my reviews section?
I can't put the references in fast enough because it keeps getting deleted. Chill for a second. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayherrod2 (talk • contribs) 23:45, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Genre
I changed the genre field in the infobox, removing "alternative hip hop". All critical reviews for this album, noting mainstream/pop music influences, point away from this style, and any such inclusion should be backed up in the article with sources. And not fishing for sources to support one's opinion of what genre the album fits into. Dan56 (talk) 18:50, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've asked about the use of sub-genres in the infobox, and got some helpful information: "When it comes to artist articles, Template:Infobox musical artist says "Aim for generality (e.g.  rather than  )." But the album infobox gives no such instruction. Subgenres should be fine as long as they're discussed somewhere in the article's text, where they should be supported by references. As usual, the infobox should reflect the article's contents, which in turn should reflect its sources". (Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_38)

Protest confusion
As I was reading this article the petition/protest section is confusing. First, there is no date to for the petitions, to show when the whole process even started, but that is not the main concern. The date for the protest is listed as October 15th, also saying he tweeted about it. There is a reference for that line says nothing about the protest or the tweet. The article then goes on to say that he tweeted on October 8th announcing "Victory" and that there is a release date. This line is referenced with the same one as the protest. The reference does however say he tweeted on the 8th about the release. This article and the main article about him are written as though the protest did take place, but the date given is a week after they already their "Victory". I am not familiar with anyone of this and I am sure there are editors that check/edit his articles, but I have no clue about any of it. Brinkley32 (talk) 04:57, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Never Forget You is a single, stop deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.28.168.229 (talk) 22:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought the exact same thing when I read this section. I don't really care about Twitter and who all organized it and when it took place, or even that Lupe Fiasco said he'd attend. What I want to know is why it was held in the first place, and what was the controversy at Atlantic? Were they just taking forever to mess with the tracks? Didn't agree with the material or think it release-worthy? Was this whole thing just a publicity stunt? Answers to these questions should be addressed in the article. -- Sweet Nightmares  (awaken)  14:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
