    Lupe Fiasco recently told MTV Base that he was 85 percent sure his next LP titled "LupEnd" would be his last full-length solo set.

    Lupe insists that he hasn't lost the passion for making music, just for the business of putting it out. "I love the performing, I could perform forever. I'll be on stage until I'm 90 doing 'Kick, Push' and all that stuff if I can. But it's the whole process of it that wears you down."

    "I don't want to say I'm 100 percent sure, like, 'Yeah, this is it.' But 85 percent," he revealed. "That 15 percent is the X-factor. That could be bills. Like, 'Lupe, you got to pay the bills.' 'Oh, man, I got to put out another album.' "

    Fiasco says that the wear and tear of the music industry has taken its toll on him, physically and mentally.

    He says his last album will be massive. "I'm treating it like I'm filming 'Lord Of The Rings.' They had to film [that trilogy] over four to five years. It's going to take me about two years to put it together right. I'm 85 percent sure that my next album, LupEnd, will be the end-all."
