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.

Chief Keef scares me... not him specifically, but just the culture that he represents.
Lupe Fiasco
When I started making my own music, I was more about recreating what I was hearing. I noticed that I had some control over what I was saying, and the effects that it's going to have on people. I wanted to focus more on the positive side of things, which are more in tune with my morals and ethics.

Most things that are politically right are morally wrong

A match made in heaven set the fires in hell.

Just be yourself and one day you will find someone who loves you for everything you are, flaws or no flaws.

I hope that God forgive us, all of us sinners turn us back into beginners, put us up where the winners go, Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow, thank you for all your blessings and all of your miracles.

Know the weapons of the weak, kill weakness of the heart and never fall asleep.

In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama, and the United States of America.
Lupe Fiasco
You would never know if you could ever be, If you never try, you would never see.

Everybody has their opinion on what's 'real,' and what's they choose to listen to and their personal preference. Whether they're 2 years old or 200 years old. And people can listen to whatever they want.

I don't mind payin' for the police and for streets and sanitation, or road work, bridges, trains, food subsidies and welfare. But I don't wanna pay for bombs to fight proxy wars in the middle of nowhere against enemies in the night.

The economical policies that are instigated really makes you think that the American government is a bunch of evil bastards. So just because you're black, you're still representing that government, and when Obama came into office he enacted the same policies that we would critique other presidents for.

Hip-hop is just something I actually know how to do. But I always had aspirations to participate in other forms of music.
Lupe Fiasco
Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor.
Lupe Fiasco
I have yet to see someone attack Obama over his report card. A lot of people I talk to from both sides of the fence are like, 'Well, what about this economy? What about these incidents?' There are still no answers except time, but time is the answer for everything.

You know what I had a problem with? The war - the war in Afghanistan.

Sometimes I wish I never found the Internet. Sometimes I regret getting a laptop and Wi-Fi for logging into the Internet because it is such a distraction. If you have any addictive personality, the Internet will magnify it.
Lupe Fiasco
What I've learned is not to take anybody's advice. If you rely solely on your fans, it sets you up for the downfall on the industry side and if you rely on what your label is saying, it will disconnect you from your fans.

The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
Lupe Fiasco
My whole team, it wasn't about putting the album out, it was about getting off the record company and going independent or going to another label. To the point we were like, 'Listen, just take 'Lasers.' You can have whatever percentage off the next ten records I do for the rest of my life. I just do not want to be here anymore.'
