Lupe Fiasco tried to do something widely ambitious — record a new album in a 24 hour span of time.
Lupe Fiasco has been feeling inspired lately. The rapper has been dropping a lot of music. He has released freestyles over iconic songs like Jadakiss and Styles P’s “We Gonna Make It” and Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C” while enjoying a verbal back-and-forth with friendemy Royce da 5’9″.

Now it looks like he wants to turn that freestyle energy into an actual album. Early Monday morning (August 9th) Lupe announced that he was going to do “an album from scratch in 24 hours.” At the time he tweeted that — 3:34 AM EST — the rapper had completed one song.

He announced that he was coming with nine more.

Last time I did this Stack was alive…
