Lupe Fiasco & Pink Floyd?!?!
Lupe Fiasco reveals plans of working with Pink Floyd to AOL Music, "Having worked with Jay-Z , Kanye West and Jill Scott on his debut album, Lupe Fiasco wants to join forces with Pink Floyd on his next project -- "... or the remnants of Pink Floyd ," he says. The Chicago rapper knows the prospect of getting the dormant rock group to sign off on such an idea is remote, but that isn't stopping him from pressing forward. After all, he got jazz pianist Chick Corea to change his mind and approve a sample for the track "American Terrorist" from his acclaimed album "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor." "'American Terrorist' wasn't going to be on the album, because we heard Chick Corea doesn't like hip-hop," Fiasco told Billboard.com. "But we went the extra mile to make sure he heard the rest of the record and could see that there was no cursing, and that there was positivity. We were taking extra care with his work and not putting any garbage out there. It's that same approach with Floyd. I'm really serious!" {Source}
