Lupe Fiasco going dark. Backlash from tweeting Kritt lyrics "F-K Martin Luther King, F-K Change"

[Jabu_Rule]

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

That's the point. I didn't. I posted what's being reported. I'm sure others didn't either. I'm sure people on their cell going about their day quickly reading reposted tweets didn't either. You should probably know about the medium you are using to communicate with the world. My OG post actually says it was taking out of context though, so i'm really not sure what the accusations are. Please tell me why Lupe caught feelings?

 

[_Lefty]

He can retire from social media forever after that ether clinic he opened up on Azelia Banks behalf.

 

[DNB1]

Only thing he did wrong was catch feelings and go dark...

 

[TonyDubbz]

I just hope this gains KRIT some more spins

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.

That's society in general, that's never going to change. If Lupe is going to do shit like this and not offer new ways to think or better explain himself then he's no better. And what's funny is he will get mad sensitive b/c we "didn't get it" either, it's not even that serious... he does it to himself. That's why lowkey I think he has mental health issues.

[nickel-us P]

Rappers post their lyrics all the time. People read them, like them, and want to hear the rest of the song. I dont understand how this became a huge deal.

 

[DarthRozay]

Should've never have you rappers twitter!

 

[rip.dilla]

Uh huh, Friend of the People!!

This one for the fans here Jack

[Hook]

I think I'm Malcom X, Martin Luther

Letcha know, that I'm ridin' for 'em

[Verse 1]

Gon' gimme some, a lil' more beat

Call yo' friends around, then call the police!

Im ridin' wit my flow, it take up four seats

So I'm gon' ghost ride, but with no sheets

One man by myself, even then I'm 4 deep

Like hotel swimming pools, that's 4 feet

These niggas like the rooms, so suite(sweet)

Priceline! so cheaaap

I'm the cell phone, they the room keys

I'm some shell toes, they some shoe strings

I turn 'em off, I take 'em out

I'm Reverend Run, with the laces out

Adidas, so adios

All day I dream, like I'm comatose

That's your ship sinking, and I'm so afloat

I'm T-Pain, I'm on a boat!!!

Not the slave one, Decaprio's either

Hear the waves come, they started in the bleachers

So I'm swag surfin', the pool's getting deeper

You still sweet though, here come them room keepers

Ok I'll be the strings, you be the shoes

But guess what (what?), now they Jimmy Choo's

I wear the pants, you in the pools

Yo shit meows, my shit AWOOOOOOOOO

I got a fifth flow, call me Brother Man

Africa the set, yea that's the motherland

For that BP, I shed 50 tears

In Nigeria that oil been spillin' for like 50 years!

Fifty years! Hell naww, hell yeahhh, tryina tell ya'll

At this rate, niggas gon' lose!

Can't search for water, or grow your own food!

Tell me what's gon' happen, when them stores close

And ain't gon open up, no more

Yeah that's the realest shit

You gon' feel dat, hungers yo' enemy

But you can't kill dat!

Nigga wake up, don't join the army

Kill your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis

And they ain't even real, or are they?

But you ain't even know, because you partay

Too fuckin much, if you start to doubt

They already in yo mind, and comin' out yo mouth

Its not a trick, nigga, it's a trap

Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at

And niggas ain't fit, fat as hell!

Fat in mind, body fat, as well

Who use most the drugs? Americans!

Whats in Afghanistan? heroin!

You think thats by mistake? They can't stop dat?

Don't think you safe though, because you not black

Greed is colorblind, so I'm colorblind

They gon' fuck with yours soon as they done with mine

They say I try to hard, verses overwhelm

I learned most of this, from niggas sittin' in jail

Where you think I'm from? I'm from the streets nigga!

Triple OG's told me to teach nigga!

And that ain't made up, nope! Thats a fact

They say that gangsta shit, is the shit I rap

Look who I attract, look at my inner circle

Bunch of street niggas, and a couple Erkles

Look at my fanbase! Oh yess!

Fuck what Pro say! Look at this protest!

Where they do that at? Who they do that for?

Must mean I'm doin' bad, and things is movin' slow

We talkin' revolution on public radio!

Then catch me down in Houston, sittin on them 84's

Trae wassup, ABN, gotcha back nigga, sink or swim

Free Chilly Chill, shake off yo' mastas

Pray to God; Build yo mind faster

Lupe flipped a song by Rick Ross about moving weight and turned it into an inspirational song (Building Minds Faster)

And he repped my home country on there too! He's a GOAT for that..

Yeah he said "fuck MLK" on that KRIT song (which I wasn't even offended by) but put it in context. Maybe he meant 'fuck MLK's methods of being accepted as a Black man in America..' especially with the recent unlawful killings of Black males by law enforcement agents

And for y'all Lupe haters and those that passively misunderstand him.. he made a song for y'all called 'Dumb It Down'

Did you even hear the song? His Lost Generation verse was sarcastic.

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

In Lost Generation he was rapping from the perspective of said (the lost) generation. He wasn't saying fuck MLK per se, but rather the youth said it.

 

[DNB1]

Lol...it's amazing to see how the shit going over heads.

 

[blackrain]

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

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).

The thing Lupe often misses though is that how a message is delivered is just as important as the message itself because the delivery can change the entire meaning of what you're saying. Its not that the shit Lupe says isn't needed or relevant or even right. He often is all 3 of those things, but his delivery is so off putting that it makes people want to tell him to shut the fuck up sometimes. So while it may seem like it's punishing him for not having "style points", people really do need to realize how you deliver your message actually does mattr.

 

[LUClEN]

People are mad stupid

How could you think someone with Lupe's background and discography would mean those things seriously?
