Lupe Fiasco Doesn’t Want His MTV
Thursday, October 21 2010 9:37 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True StoryJust when things boiled down between Lupe and Atlantic Records, he’s focusing his energy on a new target. Earlier this morning, he took to his Twitter account and expressed his displeasure with MTV. Apparently, the networks 10 tips got him a lil’ peeved.
Oh snap…MTV (illuminati’s favorite network) back on the attack…why can’t y’all just chill out? Salacious banality @ the speed of light? I think I’ve been very good natured with you. I personally know several employees of your company. You guys know me as well. I’m confused. Where is the true music journalism??? where is Suchin?!! What happened? Where are the honest critiques of cultural expression? For it’s not about being RIGHT it’s about being HOT Fame over self-awareness and virtue Hedonism over self respect Celebrity over cerebral. A destroying force in our culture and society just like rest of the useless vapid spectacles that pour out of our tv’s and radios.
What are we supposed to be learning from you? What is your point? Do you have a point beyond corporate sponsored distraction? Your a materialistic shell of your former self that can only identify with celebrity pageantry and instant gratification. Corporate garbage pushing plastic lifestyles and wasteful, destructive behavior into the brains of the youth of the world. So when your relevance thins in2 a whisper & the stock price collapses and you have 2 come 2 grips with the mess you made. I’ll be here 4 ya. We’ll be here. With hands full of baby powder 2 smack some sense back into your body & a warm shoulder to cry on. We want the REAL MTV back!





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot

Quit crying Lupe….It just sounds like you are lashing out against MTV cause they aren’t covering/playing your shit. Make something hot and things might be different for you.
Fuck! Nothing but the truth.
This man knows whats going on.
Fuck MTV.
Look at their fucken Top 10 Rapper list!
Wocka Flocka? Seriously, theres no words to explain this.

Cosign soicyboi its a WRAP for his career sadly they might kill this nigga since hes willing to speak out and yall seem to think its just mtv its bigger than that its all media they lie and brainwash you they report what they want and its not the truth they distract you from REAL issues that one world goverment is fast approaching
^

Ya’ll know lupe is right and its not just mtv its bet and everyother tv station/media outlet. How many of you niggas can watch tv or listen to the radio without dry heaving? Fck the so called “hottest emcees list” since when did just being popular get you respect?!
Lupe is the truth man. It is always great to see someone in a position of power and influence to keep it 100%. Who cares what the blogs say. He’s true to himself and never sold out his music for anyone. Sorry Elliot and Shake. Don’t be mad if Lupe doesn’t care about you. Stop posting about him then
cosign Lupe…
but also cosign Da King
Ok yall are bonkers….Why are black people so quick 2 believe in some mythical shit like the illuminati…
How bout this kids since your so eager to spout foolishness…Go 2 your local library, pick up a book on the illuminati and learn what it really stood for and get your facts straight DUMBASSES!!
SHEESH
lupe realizes it is mtv, right?
i follow lupe all the way the guys the truth
@K STFU
iam white
Go Read A William Cooper, Jordan Maxwell ,Art Bell etc book b4 you say whats real or not
sheesh
can’t disagree with him
Lupe stay Mad! lol MTV did have some good points tho
LMAO!! I’M SPEECHLESS…
The writer of those 10 tips is white just like the head of Urban Music @ Atlantic. They’re probably related or he wants a job @ the label cause the ‘ish he was shoveling should have been 10 ways on how to remain a slave to the record company. Wasalu’s makes revolutionary music , not that pop ‘ish the head of his label listen to.
@K …you need to read a book on how you red devils got here ……
Lupe and Joe Budden have got to be the two biggest bitches in rap, all they do is whine! I didn’t hear none of this nonsense when SUPERSTAR was all over tv, you see how convenient for niggas to complain when the scales aren’t tilted in their favor.
^ i bet you dont even know what hes talking about, stfu
fucking cry baby this guy climb some mountains nigger your better at that than releasing albums nigga go back to your basement and record 90 albums put them in a vault lock them and never let anyone hear them then stand outside with your picket signs
I cant wait till his album drops…..so he can see his “fans” were just gassin him up
cuz that shit will flop
He had no problem being on the list last year with Gucci Mane and a lot of less intellectual artists so this is clearly about him feeling snubbed. Yes, he makes some great points about how MTV is all corporate, but it has been that way for years. This is not an overnight change. He specifically stated that he made “Superstar” to make the list.
Bottom line is, if he was releasing some of the material that he’s been recording instead of blaming the labels, and punishing the fans for the occasional leak, he might have been being blogged about for his music and not for being a whiny bitch.
I swear all he’s done in the last year is complain.
@ dashing
He was not even on the list last year. That was back in 08 if that is what you’re referring to. And on top of that, these rants have nothing to do with the Hottest MC list that’s going on right now, it’s about an article MTVRapFix put up this morning about Lasers.
Do your homework
For someone who hasn’t put out a truly “hot” song in a couple of years, this guys bitching is starting to get embarrasing. As a fan, its getting harder and harder defend the pseudo-intellectual-feminimity coming from this guy. Put out a mixtape with more than 4 soungs, stop doing British Pop-Rock, and quit Bitching.
This is the one time i agree with Lupe
Say it witcho chest Lupe!!……..can’t say the boy ain’t right tho….. “The truth is hidden because the lie is more entertaining.” – @cthagod
The “truth” is that you cant do fuck all about it, you cant fight the machine, illuminati or not you will never win against big corporations like MTV.
obama deception…watch it….theres more out there….i get tired of these people saying illuminati is a mythical concept…no joke people are ignorant straight up.
@Lupe fiasco, dont speak for everyone, YOU want the “real MTV” back. Unless you speak on behalf of your 20 fans…
Good lupe…..now turn around and tell BET the same thing
MTV sure has a lot of advice for Lupe…10 tips! MTV has lost their credibility a long time ago and they got the nerve to try and give advice to an artist who they obviously don’t respect! MTV is a JOKE and should never be the voice of what is hot or not!
do your thing lu.
Illuminati be watching Teen Mom and Sweet 16. LOL.
Excuse me, but I’m too old for fairy tales.
Holy crap. I didn’t know this guy was so smart. I hadn’t even heard his music.
What he’s saying is….. there is no point to MTV. It’s just garbage.
The counterargument is….. well….. this is just entertainment. It’s supposed to be smart.
Is he really serious with that Illuminati bullshit?
*not supposed to be smart
