Lupe used to rap about selling crack

[EDouble]

he was apparently about some utha shit when first signing to Arista in '03

story here, with the audio ('Pop Pop')

 

[Lok]

A rapper turns out to be a sell out hypocrite?

I think hell just froze over.

 

[PuffnScruff]

the guy makes some good points, like "It’s about time somebody told me that materialism is bad, especially while wearing $500 limited edition sneakers, they scream"

ive heard this song before, i wouldnt really say it is about him, lupe, selling crack.

either way he still has one of the better albums to come out this year and has some nice mixtapes out there

 

[Bobby Sands]

Lupe Fiasco sucks as bad as Kanye West imo.

 

[Fuck Jay-Z]

He's already spoken on this, he said he was messin around with music to find his style, he couldn't find a style to run with so he decided to be himself.

It's on a youtube interview some were.

Lupe = the Future.

 

[Mr.Deuce]

good rapper.
wtf is so strange in rap game rappin bout sellin crack?

 

[FroDawgg]

^^^i think the author is saying that he wasn't being himself by talking about that. i think, "good for Lupe" if he decided to change his style and go his own way.

 

[EDouble]

wow

Well I like Kanye so I guess I'm going to have to check this Lupe fella's shit out. :thumb:

 

[Dante]

sorry, i thought his album sucked. he had a good hype campaign, i'll give him that much.

 

[prasad]

Ya i thought the album sucked also. But the first version of the album that leaked was so much better than the released version.

 

[Euphanasia]

I disagree. His album is awesome. I give it an XL. Had a few tracks been omitted, I would have given it a classic rating. He is very socially conscious, which is rare these days, especially among mainstream rappers. I urge everyone to check him out.
one

 

[PELLA]

Lupe is Kanye's shadow.
