New Lupe Fiasco Single: Around My Way + Lupe's Response to Pete Rock
Hip-Hop One;4450218 said:“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"
Why you making up your own quotes fam?
He said, "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... but Lupe that's my man, he got my blessing. Go ahead. As a matter of fact, you can't even clear the sample with me cuz I don't even own it."
Shit he even went onto say they didn't even want to remake the beat; they wanted to rap over the original files but Pete couldn't find them.

What made up quote?
"Lupe called into “Sway in the Morning” on Sirius XM, where he broke down what really happened, calling foul on Pete Rock: “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, and he said ‘Lupe that’s my man he’s got my blessings.’ Lupe went on the explain that he couldn’t even clear the sample through Pete Rock since he didn’t own the publishing rights."
How did I make up the quote fam when it is in reference to my comment, "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?"

If you pulled the text from the site then my bad, I only listened to the audio.
It's made up though in that they took different quotes from different parts of the interview and put them together there to make it seem as if Pete said no until Lupe pressed him by saying, "everyone has done it."
The actual quote from the audio is exactly as I typed it.
And like I said before, Pete even looked for the original beat files HIMSELF and said he had lost them.

I listened to this track the other night like that's how you rock a classic track. Then I login on now to see this shit. WTF? Did Pete Rock spazz when Joell Ortiz rocked the beat? Or is he just mad Lupe's putting this on an official album? Either way, Lupe can't win with these legends even though he's been spitting flames for close to a decade now.

Nah, homie, listen to it again carefully beginning around the 0:50 second mark and Lupe says just that.

1st let's get something straight. "T.R.O.Y" is ICONIC, it's one of the greatest rap songs of all time. There are certain rap tracks that transcend the genre and TROY Is one of them. Remaking TROY has to be done delicately cause that's how Classic it is. It would be like someone remaking "Dear Momma" or "Juicy". So I heard Lupe's version and I wasn't that impressed honestly, the beat didn't fit what he was trying to do and as soon as you hear that sax you think of how Pete flipped the sample. So I hear Lupe on Sway's show and he's screaming and yelling. I'm like hold up Lupe, why you so emotional? then I hear Pete's side and I feel him, they didn't really involve him, and you know how important this record is to Pete's career. Remember, Puff jerked him on the Juicy beat, Pete has a legacy to uphold. I felt Lupe went about it all wrong here's what Pete had to say to Sway:

Lupe should have reached out to Pete and see if he wouldve gave him his blessing/a go ahead before dropping his song

Exactly, why didn't Pete at least get a copy of the record 1st? Plus Lupe's producers didn't do much to the beat, he's just basically rapping over TROY.
2 things i don't get
1. what the fuck makes lupe song a remake? using the same beat doesn't make a song a remake. the content on the songs are totally different.
2. so the label contacting for permission to use the beat is supposed to mean that you are gonna be in the studio working with lupe. while him and his team re do the beat. seems like a bit of a stretch.
kinda sound like PR changing stories he says he told them know then told them yes b/c they caught him at a weak ponit where he was dealing with the death of heavy, then it's i told them yes but with conditions.
just stay your ass off twitter next time call lupe up 1st
