These are facts. Atlantic said if you don’t want to switch it up then we’ll get BOB to pop it up.


“Nothin on You” was Lupe’s song. I think that’s still BOB’s vocals in the chorus too.

I’m really glad Lupe didn’t do this song lol. Man BOB was killing mixtapes before he got on then he fell off... I don’t care how many platinum songs he had... How did that work out for him?

Lupe's interviews are still up and available to read. He and Bob recorded the records together. They were Lupe's songs but Bob recorded the second verses. The label loved Bob's verses and wanted Lupe to change his verses to sound like Bob. He wouldn't do it and suggested that if they want to make him sound more like Bob then they should only let Bob do the songs because he isn't going to change his sound. So they recorded the songs without Lupe and they became mainstream. Lupe said it was the final straw and what made him have a breakdown. He said he did not like the way it was done.


“That was the tipping point,” says Lupe, who also recorded a version of the song that was rejected by his record label. “It was less about the bruised ego but more the audacity of it. It was mentally destructive. I say it with a certain laissez-faire now because I’m past it, but back then, hearin’ that s**t, it f**ked me up.”

Nothing but you was originally an Lupe song and the label threw him off his own record? I’d be pissed too.

1. It's all real life. We're the ones allowing the tail to wag the dog, in that these social media faces are fabricating stuff and we're just going along without questioning any of it.

2. Riddim up

I legit forgot "Nothing on You" existed. :wow:

Used to hear that shyt all the time in better times. Was released in late 2009 and played all 2010, the beginning of the end.

That 2009 XXL freshman cover seems like a lifetime ago. I used to listen to this man’s mixtapes all the time as a teeenager :snoop:

He ain’t been right since him and Sevyn Streeter spilt up, she might have that cuckoo coochie :lolbron:
