Lupe Fiasco Proclaims His Uninterest in "Relevance"

With Lupe Fiasco’s long awaited Tetsuo & Youth poised to drop in the coming days, the Chicago rapper seems to be making good on his claim to abandon the wearisome world of social media, specifically, Twitter. The Food & Liquor mastermind sat down with Billboard to chat about his relevance today and about his upcoming album. In the interview, Lupe elaborates on his decision to leave Twitter, saying his relevance in today’s world has dwindled and, surprisingly, he does not mind. In fact, Fiasco seems elated about it all, stating he’s happy being “that somewhat sophisticated, overly deep weird guy making powerful music.” Finally, Lupe goes on to explicate his striking lead single “Deliver,” calling it an “autobiography of a myth in the hood.” Check out the full interview here and watch for Tetsuo & Youth.
