My whole team, it wasn't about putting the album out, it was about getting off the record company and going independent or going to another label. to the point we were like, 'listen, just take 'lasers.' you can have whatever percentage off the next ten records i do for the rest of my life. i just do not want to be here anymore.'

More From Lupe Fiasco

Well, led zeppelin iv! that's it really. i'll tell you why the album had no title - because we were so fed up with the reactions to the third album, that people couldn't understand why that record wasn't a direct continuation of the second album. and then people said we were a hype and all, which was the furthest thing from what we were. so we just said, `let's put out an album with no title at all!' that way, either people like it or they don't... but we still got bad reviews!
Hype People Titles
At travelers, we were much more opportunistic. it was very successful, but it wasn't an integrated financial services company. we had a property casualty company, a life company, a brokerage company. we were a financial conglomerate. it wasn't a unified, coordinated strategy of any sort. when it merged with citi, that became a big issue; citi, at that time, wasn't yet a fully integrated, coordinated company.

Guy picciotto had a really sound point: live albums basically have bands playing songs that are available on studio records, and what example can you think of where the live album is better? what are the great live albums? i have live albums of bands, but i wouldn't listen to them for the most part. so we thought, instead of spending energy trying to puzzle out how to create a live record, let's just write another studio record.
Song Writing Thinking
When you're in a start-up, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not. each is 10 percent of the company. so why wouldn't you take as much time as necessary to find all the a players? if three were not so great, why would you want a company where 30 percent of your people are not so great? a small company depends on great people much more than a big company does.

I have watched independent record stores evaporate all over america and europe. that's why i go into as many as i can and buy records whenever possible. if we lose the independent record store, we lose big. every time you buy your records at one of these places, it's a blow to the empire.
