NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) Lupe Fiasco in an interview with New York Magazine promoting the release of his third solo album, Lasers, the Chicago-native said he doesn't care about the disc's success. When asked what he hopes to happen with the LP, he said: 'To be blunt, I don't really give a [crap]. I've grown very distant from the business, very numb to it. Before, I'd just kind of be a ninja. Just kind of keep it moving. When I first got into the music business, it was like, �You need to do this interview and all this promotion even if it kills you, because it means your record is going to do this and if you don't do it you're not going to get this and you're not going to get that. I don't really care about the success anymore. I don't really care about the fame. Three, four years later, I look at my bank account statements, and I haven't made any money with my record label,' he said. 'You start to think a little bit differently about your motivations and why you're doing what you're doing.' Lasers is the third studio album by American rapper Lupe Fiasco, released on 8 March 2011 by Atlantic Records in the United States. Production for the album took place throughout 2009 and 2010. Lasers features production by The Audibles, The Neptunes, Needlz, Alex da Kid, Syience, and long-time collaborator Soundtrakk, among others.
