Fabolous Speaks On Ray J Beef, "TINC 3: Death Comes In 3s"

Loso explains why his latest mixtape has more energy to it than "The S.O.U.L. Tape."

Fabolous got into a scuffle last year with Ray J after a run-in in Las Vegas, Nevada, which he now says was because of his "lame" actions at the time. During an interview with ThisIs50.com, Loso echoed a previous tweet that stated how you can have money but still be lame, and why that applied to Ray J.

"That statement is true. How many times have you been sitting somewhere and there’s some lame ass rich nigga? I wasn’t really feeling some of the things that Ray J was doing at the time. I felt like it was lame stuff, and he was kind of using what he was doing but mixing that in with saying what he’s got. That doesn’t mean anything," he said. "Yayo was like, you gotta say something."

He also touched on his most recent mixtape release, There is No Competition 3: Death Comes in 3s. After releasing his soul-inspired mixtape The S.O.U.L. Tape in April 2011, he decided that he wanted to ramp up the energy with his latest.

"Death does come to everyone, but I would love for mine to be after you’ve lived a long life and seen your kids grow," he said. "I wanted to give more energy with this mixtape because the last one I did,The S.O.U.L. Tape, was a different kind of vibe. It was a little slower. It was a little more thought-provoking, from a different perspective."

 Lupe Fiasco has yet again found himself in a tug of war with his label Atlantic Records over the release of his new album.

The year 2012 is starting off with a bit of déjà vu for Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco. According to Lupe he’s yet again waiting on Atlantic Records when it comes to the release of his next studio album, Food & Liquor II.

"The Lupe [Fiasco's Food & Liquor II] album is [coming out] hopefully. It's not on me," Lupe Fiasco explained to AOL’s The Boombox. "It's not done yet. I'm waiting on my record company, ain't nothing changed. Same business, it's on them."

Lupe was in the same predicament last year when his label constantly delayed the release of Laserswhich was eventually released in March 2011. A petition was even released by fans demanding that Atlantic Records release the album.

While the rapper waits for Atlantic Records to give the go ahead for Food & Liquor II, Lupe revealed that he plans on doing a bit of touring prior to the release of the album.

"We got a big tour coming up in Australia in April, and we got a couple things sprinkled through the top part of the year," said Lupe. "Nothing real crazy, we're going to wait until the album drops to really go hard."
