Lupe Fiasco Covers May 2011 XXL

 

Lupe Fiasco is looking very enlightened indeed on the May 2011 cover of XXL Magazine.  The cover story and interview is conducted by XXL writer Thomas Golianopoulos; the Chicago MC talks about his much publicized struggles with Atlantic Records and his underwhelming feelings after he was #1 on the Billboard 200:

“I wasn’t completely overwhelmed because now I have to go into the business meetings…Now I’m waiting for, ‘If you didn’t say you hated the album in that interview, we would have done 300,000.’”

Hmm…inneresting.

Lupe’s Atlantic Records labelmates Wiz Khalifa and G.O.O.D Music signee Big Sean are also featured as well as a tribute to West Coast “hookmaker” Nate Dogg, who passed a few weeks ago.

The issue hits stands April 26.
