. Un Kasa had outed him in that Doggie Diamonds interview he did a while back

nikka said he wasn’t riding no skateboards when he was on 1st &15th, he said that nikka was a dope boy :dead:

Stack used to stay in the same spot as him for a period of time

Link the Un Kasa video if you can find it :russ:

Stack was signed to 1st & 15th and Lu used to stay with him in Far Rockaway when he visited NY. Chilly bought a house in Chicago for all his artists to stay at.

I remember seeing this but somehow forgot until right now, smh. Didn’t they say Lupe said in court that he was talking about CD covers or something ridiculous like that? Lol
He said the "red ones" and all that shyt were "music tracks". :comeon:
He's very fortunate he aint sitting next to Chilly, which makes me believe that Chilly confessed to everything so Lu can go free.

I remember reading a lengthy, detailed post on here that broke down how “Kick Push” was really a metaphor for selling dope and the whole song is just coded D-boy talk.
Lupe say it wasn’t on this track @ 4:10


But It definitely seems like Lu fukked with them streets at some point.

According to Lupe himself he grew up in the hood but his father was hell bent on keeping him on the straight and narrow so he never indulged in gangs or drug dealing but growing up in the hood you naturally have some affiliation with those types of characters so he was around the “life” but not OF the “life”


His manager Chilly is who got him his deal with Atlantic but Chilly got locked up for being a big time drug trafficker. Lupe was investigated too but no charges against him were ever officially filed.

He’s been trying to get Chilly freed on appeal since like 2005. Chilly getting locked is what directly led to 1st & 15th not releasing projects from any other artists like Gemini AKA Gemstones, Matthew Santos, and Nikki Jean because Lupe didn’t want the responsibility of running an imprint by himself
They could have literally took over the game, I was so hyped with their roster back then, cats couldn't tell me nothing

Lupe has said thats not true and laughs at people who try to make the song something its not
Oh so that was a thing and not just somebody's post on here? That's crazy. I don't hear that at all when I listen to the song but there's a lot of stuff I miss the first couple of times with Lupe's work.

Even if it was about that I'm sure he'd probably deny it...but I believe him, I don't think it's about that.

He said they were talking about audio mixes

Yeah I remember this. He said something about splitting the red and the yellows. I’m in the studio all the time with my artist and let me tell you, that is not no damn studio talk lol. A mix gonna referred to ass the last mix or the final mix, or the original mix or some shyt. You may refer to a clean version, a radio mix, or whatever. Lupe was a trapper. I don’t know to what extent, but I do know when a nikka is being full of shyt, and red and yellow ain’t have shyt to do with no audio mixes

It's sloppy business to go back and try to drag this up tho, the brother doing work over at MIT, he already got the respect of the people he needs to

shyt was clear as day when he had Chief Keef apologizing at the height of his career when he didn't give af about nobody, even 50 got dubbed fukkin with Keef. Boi put the apology up for everyone to see on Twitter and never came back to it again
