Who are Lasers?



Everyone knows that I usually won't write from the heart, but lately Lasers have been going through a lot changes. Meaning that some people have been changing their views of what they think about it. There are two points to this post..

Now that Lupe Fiasco has broken a lot a promises, People have said that they would rather not wait for Lupe's music. Since there are other artists dropping new music all of the time. I feel differently about that. Well just a month or two back, when Lupe was performing songs that may or may not be on the album; Nobody was complaining then. Yes, Enemy of the State may have been made in a day but who isn't still bumping that? Are you still listening to others albums that came out with music every week? I believe that Lupe realizes what his fans want and making music for free isn't what he wants. Lyrics in "The National Anthem" even say "Don't need financial Aid, Cause this is just some free shit." Relevant or not, I believe that Lupe wants a top quality product for his fans. Can you be really mad at a mix tape made in a day? I believe that there was still a lot of thought put into Enemy of the State. Just the fact that he rushed in getting it out to us because of the deadline that he set. Since there is still plenty of metaphors and even stories within. So honestly I can't complain especially since I loved the mixtape. This is my outlook on the situation, I just feel that on my part.

Now.... LASERS! The meaning of L.A.S.E.R.S. is "Love Always Shines Everyone Remember 2 Smile". There is even a manifesto describing the term. Personally, I Iove the meaning, what it stands for and the people that rep Lasers as I would myself. Its alsoa term that is used to describe fans that have a common interest in Lupe Fiasco's work. Thats what it seemed to begin as, but now its a group and in some sorts a family. So looking in from the outside may seem as if Lasers are cocky, one-sided, ignorant, and maybe even haters. Which it isn't any of these things. I've met so many people that I have immediately clicked with because we all have so much in common besides the music that we favor. Gamers, writers, singers, nerds, skaters, whatever you can think of Lasers is sort of the Chess Club (as All City Chess Club would describe it). We may not be the coolest but to each other We're the shit! So looking at tweets may make it seem as if We are cocky but its because we are together (on Twitter) having fun with each other. In rare cases have I seen anyone turn another away for any bad reason. There are exclusions as well but for the most part We are here to have fun. Sure I'm not a Gucci fan but I would never say "You like Gucci? Dude, You fuckin suck" lol. EVER! I respect others interests and opinions. So of course if someone says something to one of us, They might get the wrath of us all. Sorry but this our family and we ride together. Last week I was very disappointed in some saying they lost faith in Lu, but never once did I say anything against them. I understand why they feel that way and I would never go against that. Just wanted the friends that I have made through Lasers to know how I felt. Since honestly You guys are some of the best people that I've ever talked to.

This may not explain too much but I honestly get alot of things very mixed up when I write. So I wrote this before I forgot everything, lol. I just wanted some to know that We are not biased. Just bring what you need to attention before you're quick to call some Losers. Yes I know the Losers/mirrors was a joke, lol. I love hearing everyones opinion and hopefully get some good feedback. So, this is where I will end off and hope nobody leaves with a bad taste in their mouth about "Lasers".
