Was Lupe Fiasco forced by the label to name his mixtape A Rhyming Ape?

[Kilgore Trout]

Looking back that was a pretty offensive title.


Especially for a so called concious rapper.

it was a tape with The Gorillaz music......does this also mean that the Monkees were racist? lol cmon now

label does this shyt all the time

jay and ye originally wanted the song to be "In Paris" but the label made them add in nikkaz

I'm sure it had nothing to do with him rhyming over Gorillaz' songs.
