"Enemy of the State" and "Friend of the People" Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) gave fans his free mixtape on Thanksgiving via Twitter which many of them may see as a consolation (or apology) for his previous effort--"Lasers." The backdrop for "Friend of the People" may be a departure from his usual sound with the dubstep and electro influences of Skrillex (@Skrillex), Bassnector, Justice and M83, but its content is a make-up-sex type return to the days of "Food and Liquor" and "The Cool." Free from artistic constraints and free to download, in the spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement "Friend of the People" is for the 99% of loyal Lupe Fiasco fans.
