News regarding Lupe’s next three albums comes after Fiasco announced that The Cool 2 is set for a 2017 release. The release will turn 10 in the winter of 2017, which is exactly when he plans to roll out The Cool 2 .
Officials with the Los Angeles Unified School District and local law enforcement agencies told reporters at a morning news conference that the decision to close schools came after several district officials received an e-mail threat about violent attacks planned for schools in Los Angeles.

Despite a subsequent 2-1 win over Bulgaria, Italy were left third in Group C and on their way home as Sweden and Denmark, who drew their final game 2-2, advanced due to a better head-to-head record.
The LA writer claimed to be a student of the “Los Angeles Unified district”, terminology that Sherman says would be used by someone familiar with the system.

He will be heard by the ethics committee on December 18 with a decision expected by Christmas, according to a spokesman for the body.
The head of the New York City Police Department said officials there received a similar threat and indicated the Los Angeles closings may have been an “overreaction”.
NY had also received a similar threat on Monday and chose to keep schools open after deciding the threat was not credible.
New York City schools received a similar threat but officials there concluded that it was a hoax. “What’s it’s going to come down to is our basic police cars… will be assigned to go by every hour or maybe every other hour to give extra patrol, high visibility around the school area”. In fact, the San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center notified us yesterday that there weren’t any credible threats to the San Diego region.

“I have asked state Schools Superintendent Tom Torlakson to allow us to count [Tuesday] as an instructional day and reimburse the District for funds we will otherwise lose”, Superintendent Cortines said.
“We have suffered too many school shootings in America to ignore these kinds of threats”, he said.
LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines echoed the point about the broad nature of the threat affecting the decision. She’s concerned about her daughter feeling safe in class.
The email was allegedly written by someone who claimed to have been bullied at “one of the district high schools” – the school was not identified.
The decision to close the district disputed the morning routines of many Los Angeles families.
Yet it took until 8:15 a.m. for a district-wide robocall to go out, and it took until around 9:30 a.m. for the LAUSD’s website to feature a pop-up saying all schools were closed, notes the Times.
