"nobody told me to hype the new albums up"
T&Y was the best album of 2015
"Lupes last great project was the cool"
Or whatever variant of how the cool was his "last good/great album"

"Lupes last great project was the cool"

Why haven't they collaborated to own their own industry
The entire enchilada from production to distribution?
But it's easier to get a check, then make a video and b*tch and moan
Business is different from art... Dealing with investors/radio partners/ TV placements/hiring is different from crafting art...
Lupe needs to drop those 3 albums though
Cot damn Atlantic filthy 
With the prior knowledge about Mike Caren provided by Everyday Struggle mixed with the recent rants from Metro n Mike Will watching the Atlantic part of this video will make ya stomach turn.
Some real mind control, mental slave trade game bullshyt going on on that side. Sheesh. The execs will intentionally break down ya confidence at your own listening party, tell you ya shyt is wack, n that its not gonna sell.
Then conveniently have a team of Atlantic backed writers and producers waiting in the lobby for ya the moment you walk out the room

Artists don't belong to fans
People should critique music, not the character of the artist.
Bashing Labels - Usual Label politics - Label Power - Artist/ Corporation difference - Balance of Power .... nothing new

He's been performing everything from Kick, Push to Kneelin' On Needles, but he's supposed to do something special for Chicago.Going to see him tonight & I’m hoping he does his classics
This is true. But if one is truly passionate about what they do be it their "art" craft gift/ whatever. You find away to ensure your art remains pure, it reaches it's intended audience, you learn you adapt, If you are a gifted singer but illiterate it would behoove you to learn how to read
but then get buyers remorse
Nah, your art would take a hit because all your mental capacity would be focused on generating $.
Being illiterate isn't the same as not knowing how to run a company. It's a steep learning curve
that's why it's better to partner with people who already have that skillset developed already.
Capital and expertise unfortunately are still with the labels...

I dont even think his music depreciated that much to warrant the way he gets ignored nowadays. As I've always said, Lupe should be running with the K-Dots and Coles as a lyricist popular with milenialls but he hasn't since 2011 it seems
