Lupe Fiasco Doesn’t Want His MTV

Thursday, October 21 2010 9:37 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Just 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!

  16. Kunal says:

    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

  17. Cinsere says:

  22. Peekay says:

    can’t disagree with him

  23. Lupe stay Mad! lol MTV did have some good points tho

  24. DARKAQUA says:

    LMAO!! I’M SPEECHLESS…

  25. Real as it Gets says:

    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.

  26. So Icy Boi! says:

    @K …you need to read a book on how you red devils got here ……

  27. flawda says:

    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.

  28. drew who says:

    ^ i bet you dont even know what hes talking about, stfu

  29. Red says:

    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

  30. Black Shady says:

    I cant wait till his album drops…..so he can see his “fans” were just gassin him up
    cuz that shit will flop

  31. dashing says:

    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.

  32. Kunal says:

    @ 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

  33. Bjack says:

    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.

  34. Ted DiBiase says:

    This is the one time i agree with Lupe

  35. Citylivin' says:

    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

  36. jacob says:

    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.

  37. BrandonTex says:

    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.

  38. jacob says:

    @Lupe fiasco, dont speak for everyone, YOU want the “real MTV” back. Unless you speak on behalf of your 20 fans…

  39. Thank Me Hater says:

    Good lupe…..now turn around and tell BET the same thing

  40. come on people says:

    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!

  41. D says:

    do your thing lu.

  42. MM says:

    Illuminati be watching Teen Mom and Sweet 16. LOL.
    Excuse me, but I’m too old for fairy tales.

  43. LISTEN UP says:

    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.

  44. Anthony says:

    Is he really serious with that Illuminati bullshit?

  45. LISTEN UP says:

    *not supposed to be smart

  46. Shooga says:
