Lupe Doesn’t Want To Be Like Jay-Z
February 25, 2010 @ 2:28 PM EST
News
During Wasalu’s tour stop in the outback, he spoke with The Age to discuss past label conflicts and satisfying his core audience.”I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show,” he says. “It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”
LIKE HIS OUTLOOK ON THIS CORUPT ASS INDUSTRY HE IN!!!!

KILLUMINATI!!!
People always dont want to be something they know they can’t be shit i wish i was jay-z id sign those freemason papers right now!
Amen Lupe.
*waits for people to start acting like he just dissed Jay-Z and ranting a bunch of misguided nonsense.
Lupe can shuttt the f*** UP! Jay performed for the first time at the MTV Video music awards since 2002. Jay doesnt go to a lot of Award shows at all.
Nobody knows Lupe and know hes depressed.
In fact to be Jay-Z, you would have to make 100 n 20 or so more classics. Ha!
fuck u lupe, your best song was kick push and that’s it. And i like ya, but know your place.
swear i hate these niggas.
Don’t worry Lupe you could neeeeever be Jay-Z you don’t have the talent *Kanye shrug
Lupe’s kiiiind of a dick lately. I think I’m done with him. The Cool was wack, and his interviews are bitchmade status. Ugh.
he dont wanna be Jay-Z but this nigga sure looks happy to see him. LMFAO
“performs at every award show”. Who Jay? I would say Beyonce does that but Jay? nahhh.
Lupe = HATER
^New niggas *fixed*
*watches as Lupe’s comments sail right over everybody’s heads*
seriously, it’s not that complicated guys
I wish Lupe would just not do interviews.
that’s what Jay-Z is known for? driving a Bentley and putting some chains on” ?

The rap mogul was honored at the Global Leadership Awards event for helping to bring clean water for the estimated 1 billion people worldwide that lack clean water and sanitation. Jay-Z partnered with former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to help draw attention and relief to the many parts of Africa and the world that lack safe drinking water. His experiences in Africa were filmed by MTV for the documentary, “Diary of Jay-Z in Africa: Water for Life.”

Jay-Z sent more than $2,500 worth of designer street wear to the Spring Hill Campaign for Adolescent and University Student Empowerment (CAUSE) in appreciation of their community efforts.

His November 2006 concert in New York city raised over $250,000 for PlayPumps International.

Jay-Z played a tribute concert in New York on Friday night to mark the deaths of those that lost their lives in the 9/11 terrorist attacks eight years ago.The Answer The Call show, which launched his new album Blueprint 3, raised money for the New York Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Benefit Fund, a charity fund that has distributed over $96 million to the families of firefighters and police officers killed in the line of duty since 1986. The rapper was joined by stars such as Kanye West, Pharell Williams, P. Diddy, John Mayer, Beyoncé Knowles, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Kid Cudi and Santigold for a two hour show that covered hits from his 11 album career. “Make some noise for everybody that lost their lives so we can live ours,” the rapper told the crowd. “We stand here tonight eight years later even stronger, even stronger.”

Lupe doesn’t want to be Jay-Z? More like he cannot be.
Reading comprehension fail for the fucktards up top. He isn’t disrespecting him. He is saying that he would rather make music which tries to offer an alternative to the mainstream instead of being as commercial as others. He is just using Jay-Z as an example.
These two have done songs together ffs.
Read a book you illiterate fucks.
P.S. Look at the posts on this site…Jigga has performed on tons of award shows this year.
Obviously Lupe should’ve “dumb it down” for some of you cuz the ones who are hating on Lupe just don’t get his point.
Well someone clearly has Jay-Z’s man milk all up in their mouth. And elliot will post anything that has Jay’s name in it. Ha.
i think all of you are missing the point that he was tyring to make. he doesnt want to be a “mogul” type of figure. Whether he can its a tottaly different story so please save the hate for oj da juiceman type of shit. Your missing the point he wants to be a different type of artist and doesnt need to run a entire label, appear on every show(yes lately he has been involved in many awards shows) so dont tell me about its been since so and so time, be known for being larger than life type of figure. I like jay-z, i guess he’s trying to say he doesnt want that type of lifestyle.
The pressure of being that famous isn’t something everyone can handle. Only a rare breed can live with that amount of wealth and fame. I think Lupe is saying he’d rather still be tangible and be able to speak freely and make a direct connection with people and not have the pressure of being that guy. I think he’d rather be like Scarface, but even Scarface became frustrated by not being able to put out his product and be as profitable as he desired.
RHYME & reythehussein i co-sign u both all day. i cant stand this dude, u dont want to be him becuz u never could be. so y even mention his name, just say u wanna b low pro and motivate. fuck outta here…
I like jay-z, i guess he’s trying to say he doesnt want that type of lifestyle.
^
basically
@café.caramel You go.
Fuck that Lupe. jay called this dude the next big thing and he acting like that. shame yourself
Lupe would love to perform at award shows but his lame assss with no personality wouldnt even allowed to sit in the audience.
It was no reason for him to use Jay’s name when no other rapper has done more for charity and helping others outside of his music than Jay-Z. It comes off as disrespectful. What’s wrong with being worth 400 mil? or performing on awards shows? it increases your stature, that’s precisely WHY jay is able to do the charitable things he does on the scale that he does, and uhhh Lupe can’t.
he’s just not making sense. like homeboy up there said, people always say they don’t want to do something they can’t do anyway. Lupe is the first one to complain about how he doesn’t get enough attention or sales. but now that’s not important to him? yeah, right.
@rand
@dan
oh yeah. Lupe is just way fucking deep. if he was such a genius, he wouldn’t have to, as you put it, “talk down” to people. he’d make himself clear. and he didn’t. he used an example that was clearly on his little tiny mind.
and to those of u uptop who think we thnk he is dissing jay. its not the case. dudes can read just fine. im just like yo y even mention something u will never even be near. say u dont wanna drive a bentley and wear chains then. the nigga just annoys me, and im not alone when i think dudes come off thinkin he’s hotter than he really is. i feel like cudi will rhyme circles around dude, he’s a cooler and more likeable lupe, @ least in my eyes. carry on
I DUNNO MAN I NEVER FELT THIS GUYS MUSIC
Some of ya’ll ride jay’s dick harder than beyonce, applaud yourself. Lupe Said and i quote “It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.” let me translate for you dumb illiterate base heads. (my music is designed for people to be empowered and inspired without the need of materialistic things, unlike jay-z who raps about materialistic comfort rather than internal solitude) i swear rap fans are a bunch of dumb motherfuckers, read a book.
Fuck u B.Dot. Lupe need to make some fuckin hits to even have the lifestyle as Jay-Z.
Come on this dude has no accolades and acting like he the shit.
Comparing himself to Hov., Man please! Kid no where that level.
I’m so fucking happy RR decided to give Yung Ber-g-dshit the finger and tell him to take the dick out his ass and start a fucking career. Props to RR.
wow u’d think you cats were related to Jay-Z smh obviously you really jump to conclusions warp drive style cause like others said he basically stated he doesn’t want his LIFESTYLE. Do you know how hard it is to keep up that type of life? I understand where Lupe is coming from because I wouldn’t want it either. Having the most doesn’t mean your life is the best.
ALL YALL WHO RIDING JAY-Z PRETTY HARD THERE I MEAN I THOUGHT YALL WAS BEYONCE FOR A MINUTE U FOOL…I DONT WANNNA BE JAY-Z SO WHAT IF LUPE SAY THAT YALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND BEING YOURSELF AND LEAVING YOUR MARK MAKES U MORE MEMORABLE PERSON IN HISTORY U FOOLS MAKE ME SO SICK TAKE JAY-Z BOZAK OUT YALL JAWS.
all the nigga was saying is he doesn’t want the image and position that jay-z has. pretty simple. rather than show niggas his success as a motivating factor, he’d rather enrich and uplift.
hence, the difference between jay-z music and lupe fiasco music.
it ain’t hard to tell niggas. it ain’t a diss. lu was in the studio for the recording of the blueprint AND the black album. jay executive produced food & liquor. he’s lu’s mentor (F&F Productions, lu’s label deal with atlantic was inspired by the roc-a-fella/def-jam deal. jay was on “pressure”, on f&l. and Jay consistently co-signs lupe as one of the nicest current gen. emcees out.
know your history. lu is just more of a nas (without the wife troubles) than a jay-z. its that simple. niggas be looking for a chance to shit on lupe these days, smh. alas…
@ Nathaniel
Correct not everyone likes flashing lights, champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

^couldn’t have said it better.
lmao at the Hova dickriders coming to the rescue. Lupe obviously meant he didn’t want that type of lifestyle, he wasn’t dissing him you morons.
And lol at the dude saying Cudi would run circles around Lu. If you really believe that, then you are delusional.
Carry on dickriders, carry on.
“It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”
as opposed? why are these things in opposition? I don’t think I’ll ever want a Bentley or wear jewelry no matter how rich I get, but I still feel more motivated by Kanye and Jay than I ever do Lupe. it’s a diss because he’s implying that all Jay cares about is material wealth, when a lot of what he does is inspirational. so to use “as opposed” would mean that these things are in opposition, he’s implying they’re mutually exclusive, which is faulty, false, presumptuous, disrespectful.
UNDERSTAND THE WACK NIGGAS POINT, BUT THIS CORNBALL THINK HE HOT IN THE GAME. AT LEAST THE JEW NIGGA DRAKE GOT SOME HOT TRACKS, THIS NIGGA ON THE OTHER HAND… JUST SMDH
1) PAPARAZZI = MURDER
2) ALCOHOL = NO NO
3) CAVIAR = NASTY SHIT
KILLUMINATI!!!
what a nerd
Theres is only 1 Jay Z in this world! Empire State of mind is still turnin my tables…
Ya’ll need to get off Jay’s dick…. Lupe wasn’t dissing Jay or anything, just saying he doesn’t wanna go down that road of fame.

Kick push was his best…? C’mon son. Dont be ignorant
SMH @ THE CHILDREN CRYING OVER JAY LIKE HES SOME KIND OF GOD. DONT WORRY ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE’S ILLUSION OR VIBRATORY STATE…YEAH TAKE THAT…YOU FUKS NEED TO START READING BOOKS ON HOW TO CONTROL YOUR REALITY. LOL..BUNCH OF SURROGATES!! DUMB IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE MORE LUPE SO THAT THESE PHYSICAL VEHICLES YOU CALL HUMANS CAN UNDERSTAND YOU!!
Lupe coulda phrased it better so as not to stir up the debate that he’s obviously stirred up. It’s obvious he meant no disrespect to Jay though.
It was a slick double talk comment. But it’s not that serious. And Jay has represented the culture well, made a great music and a shit load of bread….not to mention he actually wifed up a woman that a most Dudes dream about…
Simply put…Reaching someone’s soul and inspiring self-esteem and being wealthy and on top of your craft aren’t mutually exclusive…they can both be done..Lupe’s just to short sided to see that….
Oh yeah I like how he says this after realizing he won’t ever be Jay-Z..LOL

Lyrically, he is a genius. Only a hater would deny this. There are only a few that are anywhere close to his level. Beat selection sometimes is questionable and so are some of his business moves but artistically, he is one of the best to come out in 2000s. So you are 0-1 first off.
Secondly, I personally never mentioned anything about Lupe considering himself as deep or w/e. Nor did I say he was “talking down” to anyone. That is your own misinterpretation. Surprise. Again, read a book.
Thirdly, if the niggas at RR would provide the entire context as opposed to just a little snippet, than maybe idiots like you could understand what he is trying to get at. This is the same tactic outlets like Fox News use. This site is turning into the Bossip of hip-hop blogs.
Jigga super-stans: calm the fuck down.

@ Dan “Lyrically, he is a genius”….You are the official winner of the “This Niggas Crazy!!” Award…
You defend Lupe with a “genius” tag then call Jay’s defenders “Super Stans” ( Which is actually funny)…
Dude would never diss Jay, he was around Jay for years. Jay still regards him as one of the best. The reaction shows me how unintelligent the average hip hop head is. It’s sad folks.
Jay-Z and Lupe Fiasco are on different wavelengths.
But reading that quote from Lupe clearly shows that he’s not dissing Jay-Z, but rather take his own approach as to reaching fans. But of course someone people skim quotes, take some words and build negativity.
It’s not a diss or a jab in my opinion but it makes me wonder why someone that has been around more than a minute would make the mistake of using names “JAY-Z” when he coulda just said he doesn’t wanna be a mogul? Oh wait i know the answer…. because we are sitting here talking about it. He’s a good MC but he’s always on some self righteous shit.

LMAO…I KNOW I DO…THIS SITE GETS ME THROUGH THE DAY WHEN ITS SLOW OR WHEN I DON’T FEEL LIKE DOING NO DAMN WORK….THANKS AND YOUR WELCOME 😉
I like lupe’s music, and i know this wasn’t a diss at jay-z, but its just fucking arrogant. The way he’s saying it seems to imply he thinks he could be jay-z if he wanted to. I know rappers need to have a sense of ego, but you need to be able to back it up at this point lupe.
u all some jay z ball groping dick riding fans my god…hes only sayin that he dont want the in the face 24 7 media lifestyle that jay z got..fuckin half intellects these days(sigh)

Lyrically, Lupe is a genius. However, the nigga I was addressing was talking about Lupe being a genius in general. There is a difference between the two. He is great at writing lyrics and flow. He isn’t as great at his business dealings.
Jigga Super-stans are fucks like you who misinterpret shit just to show how much you ride with Jay-Z. Calm the fuck down. I love Jay-Z as an artist as much as the next person but bounds of reason.

You guys didn’t provide any context. Come on now. Without giving context, it is sensationalism just like outlets like Fox News and the New York Post.
Posting a link to the original article is not context.
BTW, shouldn’t you guys encourage people to visit “more than a lil bit”?
Damn can’t even have an opinion nowadays. Lupe didn’t disrespect Jay but he did say Jay is about wearing chains and driving Bentleys and he is about reaching deeper down into his fans. I think this dude is wack I meet broke dudes all the time who tell me they never want to be rich or drive fancy cars. I think its all bullshit who don’t want to be rich? Who don’t want the option of driving whateva car they want? Option to never work again if you don’t choose to? Just because you worth $400 Mil you don’t have to drive a Bentley or change who you are. Its the option to do whateva you want whenever you want. We all need to try make as much bread as we can when we can because its a cold world. Somebody uptop said its only people who can’t do something who always say I don’t want to be like so and so I cosign that 100%. So all you fools keep thinking we missing the point and this is some deep shit. Please its see through yall missing the point.
You guys didn’t provide any context. Come on now. Without giving context, it is sensationalism just like outlets like Fox News and the New York Post.

uh, yes i did. the quote in the context of what he said. Everything is accuraetly summarized. If u want sensationalism or yellow journalism, head down the URL.
No wonder why YN blackout on this nicca…Lupe feels himself 2 much the assumption that he could scale to Jay-z mass-appeal status ,if he wanted is pure delusion.
Lupe could never be like Jay Z, even if he wanted to be like Jay.
Sorry but Lupe is lame he could never pull a Beyonce and his rhyme game alone isn’t gonna get him Jay Z money.
Lupe can’t rock Chains and drive Bentleys like Jay because he don’t got money like Jay. It would be different if Lupe had the money then made this statement.
Lupe needs to shut up sometimes.

Ironic chose of words but w/e.
If you wanted to provide context, then this would make things clearer:
“They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.
I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem, as opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”
He is talking about what he feels like success is…not about “satisying his core audience”. Although the article does make mention of this, the quotes you cherry-picked are not about that.
And for the idiots you still cannot read between the lines, the Bentley and chain thing is not a direct reference to Jay-Z. It is a reference to the archetypical rapper. FFS
It’s funny he says that, cause in that picture above it looks like he’s ready to go down on the man! He looking all excited and squirmish around him. If you ar ein the rap game, why would you not want to be like the greatest? It aint about bentleys to Jay, it’s about being great at your craft. You should always try to be the best, and right nw HOVA is the best.
MY RESPONSE IS IN REFERNECE TO THE FOLLOWING QUOTE FROM CHI TOWN
“Sorry but Lupe is lame he could never pull a Beyonce and his rhyme game alone isn’t gonna get him Jay Z money.”
I know u aint comparing looks LOL. BUT If u wanna go there…….Jay don’t look better than Lupe. So I dont think Lupe would have any problem at all getting a Beyonce or better lookin chick.
By the way I hope CHI TOWN is a female reader. You have no business checkin out what other men look like, unless ,well u know where I’m going……………………… I’m trying to be kind with you
CHI TOWN………………. You probally shouldn’t compare what one man looks like opposed to another man IF your a man yourself. Get my drift ?!?!?!?!?
JAY DOESNT EVEN WEAR CHAINS LIKE BABY AND ROSS NOR DOES HE DRIVE A BENTLY. LAST TIME I SAW HOV DRIVING A JEEP.
LUPE IS BIPOLAR
Hey Dan, no hard feelings Bro..
.Don’t know how my reading a book factors into my point, or lack thereof . My reading/ education/ information level is fine, it may have read wrong but I was implying “Super Stans” (which I’m not) was a funny term, I understood your context about Lupe and he (Lupe) is a lyrical genius…to you.
No hard feelings, seriously…This is just entertainment on snowy day…

MY RESPONSE IS IN REFERNECE TO THE FOLLOWING QUOTE FROM: DONT MATTER
“CHI TOWN………………. You probally shouldn’t compare what one man looks like opposed to another man IF your a man yourself. Get my drift ?!?!?!?!?”
Where did i compare thier looks? Being lame has nothing to do with looks youngster. Lupe is lame because he is corny his personality is wack. He aint cool enough. Or as you kiddies would say he don’t got enough swag. Get my drift!?!?!?
Maybe you’re just seeing what you want to see. Maybe…You’re…Gay?
Jay Z is not GOD nor is his GOD so some of you need to stop acting like it. Preach on Lupe.
@ Lupe Fiasco
U DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE JAY CUZ U CAN’T N THAT’S NOT WHO U ARE!!!!! JAY GOT HIS LANE N U GOT YOURS!!!! JUST LIKE JAY DON’T WANNA BE LIKE U I’M SURE!!!! IRELEVANT RHETORIC ON YOUR PART NIGGA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Wow i guess the people who visit and comment on rap radar must not be very smart this post has received over 70 comment full of ignorance.
boy you just a hater and for the record u will never be jay z
went to his show last night it was off tap
It ain’t a diss, but at the same time, I hope he’s backing up what he says and speaks more than a “few” times a year to college kids. I hate when niggas get on some black empowerment shit and don’t do nothing, and it’s one of my biggest issues with black people period. What’s the point of having a message with no audience?
[…] out to Hov and reveals that a new collaboration is in the works. He also clarifies his ”I don’t want to be like Jay-Z” […]
yo i love Jay but he isnt the same jay “If skills sold, truth be told, I’d probably be lyrically Talib Kweli/Truthfully I want to rhyme like Common Sense/But I did five mil, I ain’t been rhyming like Common since.” get off of jays D*** and stop F***ing the radio lupe has mad hits start listening 2 real hip-hop.
