However, the thing people are talking about is the fact that Greenday frontman Billy Joe Armstrong ranted on stage when the band was asked to cut short it's performance. Armstrong cursed and smashed his guitar. Sometime later it was announced that he's heading into rehab just days before the band is set to release the first of three albums. Here's to his getting well soon. Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco has been flirting with the idea of retirement from the rap game for some time now. With the release of his fourth studio album coming tomorrow, the independent minded rapper focused on the issue again during an interview with Australia's Music Feeds TV. According to Lupe, he's contractually obligated to produce two more albums after "Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt 1". One of those will be Pt 2 and the other will be a different album called "Skulls". Lupe says once the music he's working on currently is finished he'll cease making hip hop for commerical purposes., only returning when he feels artistically moved. He said he'll focus on his other projects, one being his electronic DJ act SNDCLSH and punk band Japanese Cartoon.
