first off,...ye, lupe and fest have a long ass track record of fakin jax.
which far exceeds anything most gangsta rappers do.
gangster rappers do not make false allegiances and prey on the culture.
or, fool consumers who want to support the culture.
they may not know or be mindful of the culture. yet they are not knowledgeable.
which is more not being able to have the resources to partake and learn about the culture.
which is why they recieve more passes,.....
yet when you are ye, lupe, and fest.
who all have deep cultural roots, liasions, and backgrounds.
you can not be excused at all for faking jax.
as you know better and are completely educated and fully aware.
as to what ills you cause by faking jax.
ye just recently preyed on chop.
using tricknology from sugarhill, that was outlawed by the new schoolway of thought.
that ye is supposed to be in line with. if, ye is so great of a cultural figure.
ye basically did worse than those he criticizes from the hitmen.
then, sugar hill/crash crewed chop out of the producer's publishing end for i don't like.
then hid his hands and took advantage of a young kid.
similiar to, but worse than how the jiggy regime of hitmen did him.
which ye pr'd and belly ache'd about on some ho shyt, long after the fact.
when given a forum and platform to finally speak.
if he was such a cultural bboy who cared about the culture.
he would not have done that.
he literally took millions out of chop's plate. chop would not have had to sign a publishing deal with a major.
if his instrumental was used and he had accredited and proper setup with a publishing house.
which ye, being an elder statesmen of chicago.
should have instructed chop to do.
instead ye snaked that young man out of money, millions.
not to mention the draw.
i don't like, would have produced for chop worldwide as well.
that is not what this culture is about.
next, we have fest. who talks a bunch of real hiphop shyt.
yet until it benefitted his draw as a solo artist.
he waited to pr his involvement in jesus walks and other projects.
when if him and ye were real. instead of trying to dupe the public.
that ye was some original real emcee lyrical dualheaded genius in rap.
that still carries over erroneously to this day.
they both would pr'd in unison. their involvement with the project from jump.
as fest knows from the past with ju and summertime. how and what labels do to make false cred for artist. what does fest do. sit idle duping the public till it affords him possible monetary gain. to pr his involvement, after ye has already worked the audience and gained false cred and draw.
that is against the culture and fest knows better from his own background with juice the ills of it. yet soldout just to possibly get his foot off the ground and failed. now after being branded a non-draw because he wanted financial windfall from false pr from jesus walks. he fails as a politician and then throws keef amd others. under the bus for his fund raiser and false future political failures.
lupe,...is also a fake toy, too.
funded through jay/jiggy payola. who had gw duties and let it fuel his aspirations. so he could be a fake jayz with alternative commonsense covert content. while, not being knowledgeable or a real bboy whatsoever.
then when exposed during "tribe-gate". after emulating tribe's abstract and commonsense's concepts from, i used to love her. as his entire conceptual base, lyrically. when common is from the native tongues.
plus even dressing up playing the part, like a common sense dem dare aficionado, from the native tongues. denounced tribe with comments that were inflammatory. after his own failure to know or even care enough to practice a tribe song. then after his neglectful performance. lupe, deflects and denounces his allegiance to tribe and the culture. then exposed his real allegiance and braintrust. which is more akin to his former gangsta persona. exposing and bringing to light his ruse.
instead of just apologizing, for dissing the culture, and the foundation of his very own draw.
lupe, incessantly argued about it, online and in pr as well.
to recant and fake pr apologize to save his draw, for damage control.
now, he hides his hands. on his new draw of fake dreadhead rebel revolutionary.
just so he can repair his damaged draw from going even further into the pop realm on the failed lasers.
a direction given a pass by a fanbase who ignored and still ignores the real.
as they are made up of the same fake toy shyt he is.
just so he could grow dreads and look more akin to his gangsta rap roots. as dreads are the it thing stylisitcally image-wise. which are now synoumous with being a shotta or gangsta.
when if he was a real aficionado of what dreads or holy locks represents. you would hear ras principles and a gateway allegiance, to that makeup. you will not because lupe just wanta dreads to fit in.
to shake his more cultural based draw and be given a nod as more street.
like his original intended look, skillbase, content, and pr during "tribe-gate" elude to.
if you really know your history and paid attention.
anyone who is real knows the three of them are fake as fukk.
plus have a long track record of incidents, that illustrate.
how little they really care about the culture of hiphop.
yet, continue to pr and market themselves as these cultural figures.
which is faking jax of the highest esteem and order.

Okay I understand where your coming from, though i respectfully don't see it the same way... I feel Lupe Kanye and Fest are a huge part of hip hop, egomaniacs that are also opportunist..... Most rappers since the mid 90s are like that or have used that same attitude to get ahead in the business. However, their content and skill suggest to me that they are hip hop and positive influences and if you overlook their personalities (none of them I like as a person except Lupe, if only cause of his positive intentions, but they aren't anything like Redman or Common who i met and are good dudes) they are creative and very "hip hop"...... except ye, who definitely recycles rhymes and has ghostwriters or latches on to some things and attaches his name to stuff he doesn't produce, but then again so did Dr. Dre
I understand all your feelings except for Lupe, and then with this topic to go against what he was saying with this message and his message since coming to prominence in 05, I just don't see why you can't overlook Fiascogate

at you calling us idiots
thats even worst.
