More quotes by Lupe Fiasco
I always say that you define what success is to yourself.
Lupe Fiasco
When I write, it's intimate. I write in the car, and I don't even hear, like, ambulances driving past me because I'm in my car, listening to the music, writing. I record in an attic with no booth. It's not like I'm in the dark with candles, but it's like a house, a home, and I record like that. I think that plays into the music.

Some stuff I don't even put out. I'll just be home, happy, creating something for myself, and then ball it up and throw it in the trash. It's less about trying to prove something or get on somebody's list or make a fan happy or make a hater mad or convert a non-believer. That's not the case for me anymore.

The biggest terrorist is Obama.
Lupe Fiasco
I'm not in competition with nobody. I want to make good music for my fans who want it, who enjoy it, who learn something from it. And that's what it is.
Lupe Fiasco
Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor.

They say the streets is a demon in a dress, Wit dollar signs in her eyes and semen on her breath

I think that American presidents, that position in itself, as well as American foreign policy, it has terrorism in it. CIA agents going to overthrow certain governments - they're using terrorist tactics. They're not going in there like, 'Hey, you wanna have some cake?'

Most things that are politically right are morally wrong
Lupe Fiasco
The stuff that I make and the things that I talk about, you have to listen, so if the beat is doing too much, it's going to take you away. If the hook is too distracting, it's going to take you away. The hook just needs to be enough to get you from one verse to the next.
Lupe Fiasco
If you're informed, you make an informed choice. You understand the quality of certain things and you understand the history of certain things.
