Man, what? Lol I honestly think this ngga has a God complex. Who is 'they'?!?!?

I know it's lyrics, rap fans know it's lyrics, but this is Twitter. A global platform. You drop somehtin like that and expect EVERYONE to know its from an obscure song with a rapper? To my point i said before when it comes to social commentary:

Im just tickled nh to see how much black culture revolves around hip hop to some of you.

Man FUCK rap and rappers. Okay? That is not the pinnacle of black culture. Get out the fukin house.

So because they dont know its from a song (YOUR song), they dont know whats going on in the world? This is EXACTLY what Kid Cudi tweeted about. Its exactly why i said he is patronizing to the black audience:

'Hey, Im here to save you, and like i BEEN talkin about this, so if you dont accept me ngga you lost'

Thats yalll mans tho... Hood prophet.

Man I'm not even gonna go in cuz Lupe has diehard fans. I understand that these are lyrics to a song but at the same time some of the things Lupe says and does are mad unnecessary and baseless. I don't even think it's to generate hype to sell records either but just might happen to. He gotta be careful with this kind of stuff or he might end up like the Sinead O'Connor of rap. Not everyone is going to understand where he's coming from and not everyone is going to agree with it either. I can tell Lupe is the sensitive type, he better be careful with his words and actions.

Nah your rant is baseless my nigga. Part of Lupe's reasoning for doing shit like this is cuz these internet ass niggas read a thread title or excerpt and form opinions solely and quickly based off if that without taking the tine to think about the proper context.

Oh let my literally take those few words ass niggas, but never listened to the whole verse ass niggas.

The internet made ADD in HD niggas want everything in massive amounts but only able to process 5% of it accurately.

3 Lupe threads in the top 5 like he Jay z. Drops lyrics to song w/ inflammatory MLK comment, MLK movie is out. Album release date January 20, today is the 14th.

And yall have the, the, the audacity to say they are taking it out of context? No, HE is taking it out of context! Out of context would be a news outlet picking this up when he rapped it. Instead, Lupe took lyrics to a rap song and put them on twitter. Thats LITERALLY taking something out of context. Lmao Himself! He's taking his own comments out of context to incite by 'accident'

That ngga got yall gaffled.

Twitter is a terrible outlet for niggas like Lu though. There's almost always an underlying tone to his words that just can't be conveyed by reading them off a screen. You'd think people would have figured that out by now.

It's just easier to go off half cocked than actually try to absorb what's being said, I guess. Niggas always throwing around that "talking down" bullshit too. You should be at a level where you never feel like someone is talking down to you in the first place. It's a level playing field, and if you feel inferior to someone, that's on you, not them.

Plies and Kevin Gates figured it out.

Lupe's message:

Dont rush to judgement, because the man you rush to judge could just be rapping from the perspective of anot---

Yo, git this ngga OUTTA here, b llls

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Did he give context to the line? Maybe if he did that then there would be little to no backlash.

the context of the lines is that "we" are a lost generation.

So was it clear that he was quoting a line from a song or not? Because even then I'm sure not everybody is going to know what he meant by what he tweeted.

he tweeted pretty much the whole verse.

Was it conveyed that he was tweeting lyrics to a song or was it tweeted line by line thus leaving it up to (mis)interpretation? Lupe practically brought this backlash on himself if he in fact was just tweeting the lines without context.

Well usually on twitter, an artist followers are most likely his fans and Fans will in fact know that artists lyrics or atleast I hope so.

Right but what did Lupe say that's actually wrong. I'll wait.

Nothing, because yall too concerned with style points. Yall complain about lack of lyrics but the first to complain about how a nigga says it over what he actually is saying. Hip - Hop will never win with fans like you, unless the rapper name is Nas (lets be honest even he aint free from scrutiny).

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Lupe tweets his lyrics all the time. Fans know its from a song and we not the ones buggin out over it. its just you I like to complain niggas who only follow lupe just to get some bullshit story out of anything, thats the ones making this bigger than it is, Yall once again look stupid as yall did with the whole KKK shit. Fucking thread just got put up today and is about to do the same amount of numbers as his album thread. Are yall into hip hop for the music or the gotdamn drama

Then if you react he gets upset because "you didn't get it" smh.

True and I bet there were a portion of his fanbase/followers that didn't hear the song. Their followers then retweeted the posts and thus this thing spread like wild fire.

 

[ineedpussy]

well ive been saying fuck mlk for ever. but its niggaZ like yall who want to keep his faggot ass dream alive

 

[Jabu_Rule]

I thought this wasn't his song. Why are his followers supposed to know the lyrics to a song that's not his? I didn't know Kritt finally made it and the world knew his lyrics. And what makes you think only his fans and not random people that were interested in his beef with Cudi and Bank floowed him? Still, you nigga's are in here reacting like people diggin shit up. This is on the front page of AHH and Lupe himself caught feelings and went on a rant about how this is his last album for his label and he's going to hide out. That's on him that he used inflammatory out of context MLK lyrics in a single tweet during a time that everyone is paying attention to anything related to MLK. Sometimes bad things happen to good people because of slip ups. But it's all about how you handle it which is what makes the news. I'm hope folks not made because it's simply being reported on.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

if you saw his previous tweets it was obvious those were all lyrics doesn't matter if it was his song or not.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

he been on twitter long enough to know how it works and how things get misconstrued.

he did this shit on purpose just so he can go "see how stupid everyone is".

the real message is "damn, even your fans don't give a fuck about your features".

 

[IceBergTaylor]

its from his stupid song that no one heard.

of course ppl will be like wtf...

It's not HIS song tho. Niggas out themselves on being misinformed so easily

lol... u know what i meant.

Lupe the perfect rapper for u lame ass naggers.

he's an arrogant clown. his fans are clowns.

No I dont know what you meant because you said it was HIS song you illiterate fucktard. Now you resorting to backpedaling and silly insults cause you were proven wrong. Take a seat coon.
