LES ANONYMOUS FORCENT ATLANTIC À SORTIR TETSUO & YOUTH

C’est une annonce bizarre, je ne pensais pas qu’ils en avaient quelque chose à foutre d’un mec comme Lupe Fiasco mais le célèbre groupe de hackers connu sous le nom d’Anonymous prétend avoir fait pression sur Atlantic les obligeant à communiquer une date de sortie officielle pour le nouvel album de Lupe Fiasco, Tetsuo & Youth (ça sent le coup de buzz avant l’album ça) :

@LupeFiasco‘s #TetsuoAndYouth 1/20/15

— Atlantic Records (@AtlanticRecords) 15 Octobre 2014

Voilà le communiqué des Anonymous, apparemment ils sont fans de rap « conscient » :

« Citizens of the World and lovers of conscious music, We are Anonymous. 24 hours ago we released a short Twitter ultimatum. We called upon record label Atlantic Records, responsible for releasing conscious rap artist Lupe Fiasco’s long awaited Album. We demanded a statement from the label within 24 hours to release a date or we would unleash the complete and utter fury of our collective on their company and executives. 21 hours later they released a short Tweet citing the album and it’s release date. At this time it can be concluded that we have proved our point. We wish music that is educating the masses to keep being released. We will fight for that. Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common and others are the moving force behind conscious rap. This is music we will fight for. Operation Atlantic, Operation Free Lupe; disengaged. Mission Accomplished. We are Anonymous. Never cease to expect us. »

Lupe semble confirmer ce communiqué puisqu’il a tweeté juste après :
