Lupe Fiasco continues to lash out on the struggles of creating his new album Lasers. In an interview with the Chicago-Sun Times, Lupe spoke on orders given to him from his record company. "Don't rap too deep on this record—That was a specific order from the top. 'You're rapping too fast or too slow, or it's too complex.'" Lupe then added: "I am a hostage—I gave them what they wanted. If I didn't, at the end of the day the album wasn't coming out." Earlier this week, Lu revealed to us that he still wasn't on good terms with his label Atlantic Records. Worst week ever?
