Lupe Fiasco Wants To Do A Song With Drake

December 05, 2021

Lupe Fiasco has suggested that he wants to do a song with Drake and given their mutual respect, it’s a mystery as to why it hasn’t happened yet.

A Lupe fan tweeted out on Monday (December 19) that they wanted to hear the Drill Music In Zion rapper spit some bars alongside the 6 God, to which Lupe replied, “Me three.” Lupe’s cryptic reply could mean that an unfulfilled wish from 2006 could come to fruition. While the two lyricists have never formally collaborated, early in his career Drake recorded an unofficial remix to Lupe’s “Kick Push” on his mixtape Room For Improvement.

The pair-up would come as no surprise considering how big a fan Lupe is of Drizzy’s work. Prior to the release of his latest studio album Drill Music In Zion, the Chicago rapper dropped off a freestyle titled “Diet Soda Poetry,” an homage to Drake’s Certified Lover Boy opener “Champagne Poetry.”

“Just left album mode with me and my n-gga Trakk/And Drake dropped this shit, got me thinking about going back,” Lupe raps over the soulful second half of the “Champagne Poetry” beat.

This also wasn’t the first time Lupe showed love for Certified Lover Boy. “Drake will always get a listen from me,” Lupe tweeted upon the album’s release last September. “Entertaining, consistent and cool. And he be talking mad shit.”

He added, “Champagne Poetry is my #1 running it back to back.”

Lupe’s cryptic tweet comes after he teamed up with Aesop Rock for a charitable new song titled “Pumpkin Seeds.”

The new single dropped on Friday (December 9) in an effort to help a Dayton, Ohio-based non-profit called The Collaboratory, which, according to its website, aims to create an “infrastructure for people and organizations to collaboratively develop community initiatives that generate new economic, civic and creative opportunities and value.”

As for Drizzy, he’s still enjoying the spoils of his latest album Her Loss with 21 Savage, and confirmed he’d hit the road to support the project, as well as his surprise album Honestly, Nevermind, later in 2023.

“Tour. Ah, man, I can’t wait,” he said in an interview with Skate. “You know, it’s so unfortunate. The other day I was rehearsing a bunch of days and one of the shows got pushed back. But yeah, man, I’m just looking forward to going. It’s like one thing to make the music but to see it is the most gratifying feeling.”

Drake was set to perform at the Apollo Theater on November 11, but the show got pushed back in honor of TakeOff’s memorial services. Then, after the show was rescheduled for back-to-back dates December 8 and 9, production delays let to another push back and has since been rescheduled to January 21 and 22 of 2023.
