Lupe Fiasco has announced, via MTV, that he will be putting out a mixtape on Thanksgiving, the day that everyone will be sitting around the computer with nothing else to do besides waiting for a Lupe Fiasco mixtape, because there is absolutely nothing else happening on Thursday. He also has plans to put out an album on Dec. 25.

At any rate, in the same interview, Lupe claims that he will do three more LPs (he says We Are Lasers and its follow-up are in the can) and then retire, because by then, he'll have cemented his status as the best MC.

“The last six months, it’s been like, ‘I gotta really, really go out there and show that I’m nicer than all of them,’ ” Lupe said. “It’s like, ‘All right, so be it. If it takes three more albums to do it, then so be it.’ That’s what I got left with Atlantic. Three more after Lasers. I’m already done with two. The mixtape is coming Thanksgiving. It’ll be another mixtape after that and an album after that. It’s really to get that status and lock it in and [and have people] be like, ‘Look at this positive dude, the underdog. The positive one who came and murdered all these dudes. And he’s there, and he’s good.’"

Considering dude hasn't even released one classic album yet (though The Cool was very good), it would take three amazing albums for Lupe to surpass everyone, but hey, guy has always been big on bluster. [NahRight]
