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

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

I fucks with the boy Lupe but he should know not to touch a classic like Troy. I got respect for my dawg Pete Rock. Real recognize real. You know how we do it out in Philly.

@Beanie_Sigel how you feel about your phili niggas cassidy and freeway beefin on the IC?

Yo fuck that Cassidy kid for goin at my brother Free. He ain't been shit, especially after his car accident. Let me tell you the story about that too, me and my State Property brothers were in the club one night when we seen his bitch ass talkin shit about us in the corner. So we swarm on his ass like we some Wu Tang Killa Bees, and we had a young Meek with us there cause you know he wants to learn the game from the Philly God himself, plus he wanted some beard tips from Free. Anyway, we get his ass outside and he starts runnin like the bitch he is, on the phone to swizzy tryin to get him to beg for cassidy's life but we ain't fuck with swizz's wackass either. so cass hops in his car and speeds off like a pussy and ended up getting in that accident cause we had him so shook. im tellin ya dont fuck with us philly dudes. we run these streets

damn so that shit was yall back in 06 who had cassidy on his death bed cot damn...interesting story tho wonder if meek will have a song like tony story talking bout when he rolled up with yall like.

"Pre maddona hustler blowing that money fast, beans and free approached him to whoop that ass. Cass looking scared said "be easy b" it was too late his fate lied in state property. God forgives but them mean philly niggas don't. Beans said "you think you run philly but you really don't" cass hit his phone to call up his boy swiss beans saw him dialing and that boy was pissed"

or some shit like that

I agree that the beat is just too much, but I also feel as if these dudes like Pete Rock are not relevant until they can mention someone relevant.

 

[P. Town]

Ya'll keep saying Lupe did the beat justice like CL Smooth didn't go in on that shit

 

[BobOblah]

I'm a sucker for this beat. I like to see it back in the limelight. But Pete Rock hating it kinda ruins it.

*goes back to the original*

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Yo the story behind the recording of TROY is so touching although he did

His thing the beat jack wasnt necessary.... Shit its not like Soundtrakk and them cant lace him w dope shit

 

[arbitration]

Beat controversy aside, Lupe's 2nd and 3rd verse were fire.

 

[georgia boi]

I C/S pete rock, he doesn't have to like what lupe did but....

the original song was sampled from Tom Scott, and the Beginning of the End, #original music my ass

that nigga Pete Rock crying as if he made the song from scratch, #original music my ass .

If this was Wale or Drake bitching like that, niggaz would of been calling this generation soft.

If Pete Rock bitch ass filled violated, he should of kept the beat to himself.

Lupe Did This BEat Justice,

all u hoes could wack, no sign, or give a real nigga feelings. But the real has just been spoken.

Exactly. It's like saying Nas should've spit on another beat besides the one the Trackmasters laced him w/ for "If I Ruled The World" because it's basically Whodini's "Friends". Diddy jacked Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five's "The Message" which is also one of the greatest rap songs in Hip Hop history for "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down"

 

[Gooner]

Pete Rocks reaction sorta ruins this song for me...Lupe shud hav approached him b4 doing this

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

Pete Rocks reaction sorta ruins this song for me...Lupe shud hav approached him b4 doing this

I feel the same way. I thought he would atleast let him know that he was thinkin bout touchin the beat.

 

[CoolJoe]

Song is dope.

[silverfoxx]

Yo is niggas really evening listening to to the song? It's amazing. I think it's epic shit to hear this on the radio in this day of mainstream, dont y'all agree this can spark a change in hip hop mainstream? Lupe should have asked, but I think it's great for hip hop today being that lupe is very popular. Just imagine a Troy beat on the "mainstream" radio. Dope shit.

But man 9/25/12??? I thought it was in July.... I cant wait that long lol. It's very refreshing to hear some old Lupe.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

In other news lupe says hes not doing rock the bells....not that he could do it after this song haha
http://www.complex.com/music/2012/05/lupe-fiasco-says-he-is-not-performing-at-rock-the-bells

This year’s Rock The Bells has a huge lineup that features a reunited Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, headliners Timbaland and Missy Elliott, and host The RZA. But one of the acts expected to perform at the hip-hop festival apparently won't be there. It's Lupe Fiasco, who jumped on Twitter to clarify that he is not performing. There is still some time left, so maybe he’ll change his mind.

 

[YamoleySensei]

The nerd did the beat justice so I can't hate...

 

[eyes low]

its not like he gave it some half assed effort he went in on it. He brought a classic beat back and killed it

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

ion know mane, the Dope Boys song for greg street>>>>this

and at least that seemed like a sample, this seems like bruh just downloaded the instrumental

Just about to post this, much better version ^^^^^^^

This shit is all a publicity stunt.

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Pete needs to STFU foreal ...ol hypocritical ass nigga .... if anything he should be mad at how wack lupe came on this shit ... what a dud ...im gaining worse vibes about this album by the minute

 

[bkkbully]

Pete Rock was given permission personally from Tom Scott to sample the song and make TROY. Lupe could've said something if this was a homage.

 

[playmaker88]

Yah i cant cosign the beat rip with no Blessing but lupe as always brings it..
