New Lupe Fiasco Single: Around My Way + Lupe's Response to Pete Rock

[idoitforhiphop10]

When exactly isn't lupe mad

He has yet to drop anything without have a 'controversy'

He's the emo version of Curtis when it comes to drama

I don't remember any controversy when he dropped FNL.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Lupe going too far. Pete already said they worked out their differences. That's as far as he had to take it. Ain't no street dude or grown man period going to apologize 100% on some bitch shit. Pete felt some type of way about it, back then which is why he reacted the way he did.

Lupe sounding like the new Joe Budden, Canibus type. The sensitive dude disrespecting legends, getting hype about nothing. Someone needs to tell dude to play his position.

If Lupe was from the streets like he said, he would know that shit was just a misunderstanding and keep it moving. Don't nobody want to hear 2 dudes get hype over the phone over some stupid shit.

Pete Rock gets emotional as fuck on twitter, but Lupe is the sensitive nigga here?

Makes sense.

And Lupe responded with a rant AFTER Pete Rock set everything was cool. That shit isn't any better.

Like I said before, Lupe needs to play his position and watch his mouth when speaking about legends in the game.

Legend or not, doesn't exempt u from bein called out for pullin bullshit.

 

[Billy_Poncho]

Moral of the story- Twitter ain't nothin but trouble

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

Lupe is here with the right disposition bro

 

[Mrslim1]

Rappers are the corniest people in music . Thats why only a handful of rappers are respected . Hip Hop is lame and will always be lame

 

[_Ozymandias_]

i got a lot of respect for lupe and pete, but this whole situation makes them both look bad. if what lupe said in the sway interview is true then pete doesn't seem to have a legitimate beef, but imo lupe reaction was wrong too. it sounded like he never initially spoke to pete personally, only going off what "his people" told him. then when he finally did get pete on the phone after the blow up, it wasn't one-on-one. he admits that he had 6 other people on the line as well. then it sounds like these 6 people put pressure on pete to "recant" his statements to save lupe's credibility. lupe said several times "that's not what pete was suppose to say." even if you think they're wrong, how can you force another grown man what to say? i understand why lupe's upset but he should of just giving his side of the story and let it die instead of going on some arrogant rant sounding like he's a hip hop god who should always be obeyed.

 

[Rock_Well]

had to wait till i got home to listen.

Lupe playing the victim card...but for someone who claim to have only just talked DIRECTLY with boy wonder the previous night, why so hostile about it? You know it's possible ya crew missing something maybe they not telling the whole story. I doubt Pete position was as clear-cut as it's being made out to be. Don't send a crew on some subordinate stuff to reach out to another artist about something like this. That's why it's more responsible and respectful for Artist to approach Artist DIRECTLY in the first place, if only from an integrity stand-point to be sure yall both stand united on the whole thing. I just need more evidence before i believe Pete would pull some intentional grimey stuff like that, Lupe hitting his character too hard on this.

 

[CoolJoe]

Bottomline, ranting on twitter is some bitchmade shit.

You kind of missed the point of Lupe's rant. He was heated not only b/c of the original issue but also b/c Pete Rock then comes out saying him & Lupe are gonna get together & do things "the right way." Which is kind of backhandedly shitting on the single Lupe already has out right now. So throughout them supposedly, "smoothing things out" Pete is still shitting on the single he already had given Lupe his blessing for six months prior.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

wait, lupe mad at pete cuz he said something he wasnt supposed to say

*have not listened yet, but plan to*

 

[High Revolutionary]

While cats beef over petty shit, the snakes who own the masters, sit back and profit.

That's why as an artist it's imperative that you own your own music.

 

[BobOblah]

I listened to the track a bunch of times today.

Can't really get into it. This beat is too laid back for Lupe to do his political raps on. Doesn't fit IMO.

Exactly what these guys said.

If Pete Rock owned his beloved TROY, this situation would be a non-issue.

“We reached out to Pete in November, he said ‘Nah I don’t really wanna do that, because the record means so much to me, its emotional.’ I reminded him that it’s already been remade and put out by a ton of n----s"

So because everyone has done it, you're going to do it too? Like everybody else? I thought this kid was anti-establishment yet he wants to rap over T.R.O.Y. because everyone is doing it?

Alright, Lupe, alright. He needs to freestyle over Who Shot Ya? and C.R.E.A.M. now.

Then he says that his crew has been reaching out to Pete for six months but never man to man and then he gets on the phone with Pete with six other cats telling Pete why he called them out? Not man to man, Lupe?

...and Lupe who is always talking about letting your voice be heard and speaking out wouldn't even talk to any of the shows' listeners. lol

Alright, kid, alright.

When I hear this beat I think Trouble T Roy not Lupe Fiasco. Sorry, Lupe. If you were paying homage you would of just dropped the issue when Pete Rock said "Nah I don’t really wanna do that, because the record means so much to me, its emotional" rather than saying everybody's doing, so let me go ahead and make a single of it. Be original, man.

I've lost plenty of respect for Lupe, anybody who likes Hip-Hop knows about T.R.O.Y. it doesn't need Lupe Fiasco to “Go back and take one of the iconic records of Hip Hop and put a new spin on it and put it back out there." It's good as is.

Your rhymes are ill as always, but I doubt that you're as clean of this mess as you try to portray. Now we need to hear Pete Rock's side of the story.

 

[RXMasked]

now I see why CL Smooth doesn't want to work with him again lol

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

You understand how labels work bro? Pretty sure people from WB and Atlantic were on the call, because it involved their product. Nice way to try to place your opinion on it, slighting someone, thank you.

BTW, has Pete Rock heard this yet? I just sent it to someone who has a working relationship with him.

 

[SneakDZA]

lupe been needing a box of tampons since kick push came out.

Yes "bro," because Lupe not speaking to Pete Rock one on one is what caused this in the first place or was the beat imposed on him? I would't be surprised if someone said something that was never said whether Pete or Lupe. All because it was his "crew" reaching out to Pete Rock. Regardless, if they could of talked hip-hop head to hip-hop head they could of come to some reasonable agreement without all this coming about; and you're very welcome.
