“Lupe Fiasco played all the drums on Hovi Baby” - Just Blaze

[Greenhornet]

im not here to pick sides and stans from every artist can deflect


its apparent in a billion dollar industry, that people who sell out and crave fame and money... would obviously be buying and taking concepts to push their career. the older I get, I dont respect it... but it makes sense why all of these people "strike while the iron is hot"



why not get help on some songs after you finally blow and get easy marketing and acclaim? nobody that has already sold out is gonna just reject free and easy money. ill be completely honest (and speculative) with the whole Nas and Jay shyt ... they have enough clout and catalogue where it doesnt matter to them really. Like when Nas took Quan song and people pretended Quan was gonna blow.... it was just a good gesture by Nas and put money in both of their pockets for no loss. Snoop did the same thing really... he got writers who otherwise wouldnt sell or make bread and gave them points on the album...it benefits snoop and they get paid and awards... I dont love or respect it at an art level, but its not a terrible thing for anyone. As long as you dont pretend you are some prophet of emceeing and shyt

I mean as much as I’m clowning Lupe this ain’t true either

Lupe before F&L had classic indie songs, plus was signed to a group before plus featured on Touch the sky

Back then just being super nice absolutely could get you signed and put on bc dudes were hoping you’d blow so they could eat off you pause They just had no idea he’d take a detour and start making Anime raps

(And Jay still washed him on Pressure)

You quote'n pr.

Like I said.

Duke never rocked the culture based underground.
past revisionist prolifyc indie messageboard talk.


All this he rocked this or that in the culture.
before being signed is just not true.

As there was no grassroots culture base venue.
lupe ever was that guy at off the head.


The shyt cap.

Dudes started making up shyt after those Nas allegations of stic & Jay electronica to feel better about themselves

Yep, that was no coincidence.

 

[JustCKing]

Actually the other way around. Dream Hampton started those Nas ghostwriting rumors. The Lupe writing for Jay thing existed back in the SOHH days like 2007-2010. Dream wrote about the Nas thing around the time Life Is Good came out.

Sauce Money

I came in to talk about how Sauce got him badly on "Bring It On" but I re-listened and everyone did their thing. Think Jay had the worst flow on the song though.

The fact you think I needed a breakdown

I get the verse, I’m not interested in the verse. It’s just bars for bars sake nothing noteworthy. Bc he’s a new MC with nothing noteworthy to say about his personal life. His best songs were about the world he was observing (He Say She Say, American terorist , etc). These are classic Lupe songs. But when he had to talk about himself….


Whereas with Jay’s verse we know his story so when he’s spiting a scheme or a double entendre or talking shyt, it hits deeper bc it’s actually his unique life story and it’s FACTS. It makes the line better

My first picture was a line-up, now I'm on the ForbesFACTS.
And I still remain the artiste through this all
If you force my hand, I'll be forced to draw He has bust his gun Facts
If the war calls for Warhols
Hope you got enough space on your hall's walls
I make nikkas murals, then escape the Bureau's investigation Facts
Out in Europe on vacation Facts
I'm back for these puppies with the pound, boy (rrra)
Here's a round, boy (rrra, rrra), down, boy
Sound boy, you don't wanna sound clash loud noise
Leave nikkas paranoid if not paralyzed
Which means you can't walk in my shoes Facts
Too much green, you can't talk in my hue Facts

That’s why he is who he is and why Lupe is not in the same echelon

I always liked that Jay ended his verse on the 15th bar....1st and 15th...that's my cue, I'm through.

That was a cold entendre.
