After performing at Sunday’s VMAs, Lupe Fiasco spoke to staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud about his third and possibly final studio album, LupE.N.D., due in stores by the end of 2009.

“I just don’t really feel like rapping anymore,” Lupe admitted. “I’m going to write a book and put out [other artists’] albums like Matthew Santos.”

Sadly, he stands by his word and claims it’s not another Jay-Z episode.

The “Superstar” rapper says he hasn’t even started recording the new album yet. He will begin work next year.
