lupe登上XXL杂志5月刊封面，透露更多和公司纠纷和自杀倾向的细节

The last year has been an uphill battle for Lupe Fiasco. From conflict with his record label and subsequent fan b0yc0tt to his 'Lasers' album finally scoring a release date, Lupe appears to have lots to be happy about, especially since he landed at the top of the Billboard charts with the effort. Yet, in the May issue of XXL magazine, the rapper opens up about some of his demons.
The Chicago MC, who also covers the publication, spoke candidly about how the stress behind 'Lasers' resulted in suicidal thoughts. He also opens up about the politics in the music game and even crowning himself the top lyricist in hip-hop. According to the 29-year-old, Atlantic froze the budget for 'Lasers' in 2009, a devastating blow which drove him to contemplate ѕuicide. While this isn't the first time he's spokenabout the suicidal thoughts, Lupe dove a bit deeper in the publication. "It follows you everywhere," he told XXL of slipping into a deep depression. "The way you rationalize things gets titled through that mentality. In the song 'Beautiful Lasers,' that was literal. I own a ton of them." Now rejuvenated and basking in the success of the album, Lupe has boldly crowned himself the music game's top lyricist. "I can actually make the argument, seriously, that, 'Yo, I'm better than all y'all,'" he explained. "You have people who can say that. Jay-Z can say that. Eminem can say that. Canibus can say that -- if we are going line for line. If you want to relate me to the newer cats, let's go. Let's go line for line and bar for bar. If it's all about spitting and metaphors and MCing and lyrics and entendres, I will eat 99 percent of you dudes up." Even with a chart-topping album under his belt, Lupe revealed that his label still had higher expectations.
Never one to hold back his thoughts, the Grammy winner noted that Atlantic may view his outspoken nature as a barrier blocking him from selling more albums. "Now I'm waiting for, 'If you didn't say you hated the album in that interview, we would have done 300,000,'" he said. Since its release, 'Lasers' has remained in the top 20, landing at No. 16 on the album charts last week. Lupe is currently embarking on a national tour which wraps up next month.

看…不懂…

坐等英语帝

现在看到一大排英文就昏迷了。。

等老衲电脑了给你们翻译

翻译好了，谁请我吃糖？
我就比较简略的说一下了。
去年对于Lupe来说不容易，从和公司的纠纷到和歌迷一起上丵街说不爽到最后专辑有了一个最终的生日。Lupe看起来有很多值得高兴的事情，尤其是在Billboard上坐了冠军。但是，在和XXL的访问中，lupe揭露了很多心声。
这个来自芝加哥的MC公开揭露了压力如何造成自己有了抑郁和自杀的倾向和自己对于朝廷的看法。根据这个29岁年轻人的说法，亚特兰大公司在2009年冻结了对Lasers的预算，这成为一个他自杀的诱因。因为这也不是第一次他说到自己的自杀倾向，他还透露了一些以前不曾透露的讯息：“它（指抑郁情绪）到哪都跟着你。你看事物都透过这样的一个情绪。这点在'Beautiful Lasers' 中是真实的。我写了一大堆这方面的东西。”对于Lasers的成功，lupe表现的很谦虚：“我也可以像别人一样去diss别人' 瞧，我比你们都牛叉' 你总是有可以说这样的话的人，Jay Z可以，eмinem可以，canibus也可以，如果你一个一个找多的去了。如果你想把我和那些新人比较，好啊。我们一个一个来。如果那也就是骂人，指桑骂槐，Mcing，文字游戏和双关（翻译表示：你懂的，都是差不多的东西），我随便就把你们百分之99的小弟都消灭了。”
虽然Lasers现在已经拿了第一和白金销量了，lupe表示公司还没吃饱。 Lupe还表示，公司很可以觉得他话太多继续雪藏他。“我现在在等这么一句话‘如果你没在tωitter上说你自己（指lupe自己）都不喜欢lasers这专辑的话，我们可以买更多，比如3百万张。’”现在lupe的专辑在前20里，16名，他本人也会去多做宣传。


什么 不要啊
