Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Guess things ain’t sweet after all. A disgruntled Lupe phoned Sway this morning and revealed the issue with Pete Rock hasn’t been resolved. He also says Pete wasn’t supposed to reveal their plans on working together. Hey, at least the sample was cleared, right? Sigh.

Lupes needs better PR people…
somebody not telling the truth…but i never heard this much emotion from Lupe, let alone curse this much…need to put that in the tracks….i think they are both legendary and need to smooth this out. – @ablacktv
Be more original and we wouldn’t even be in this situation, Lu. Honestly.
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE B…………your “team” was talking to his “team”!?!???? …………dog…the first 4 minutes of this interview sounded like you was talking to him DIRECTLY b……..Lupe you double talkin fam. I can’t trust a double talker. It sounds like you feel ENTITLED to something homie. Naw b………..you can be “Lupe Fiasco” all day homie…………Pete Rock don’t owe you SHIT including a blessing homeboy. You might be feeling yourself a little on this one dog.
will Lupe ever stop being a bitch? dwayne wayne lookin ass

no disrespect but who da fuck is pete rock??? searched on wikipedia and got no results…..
You trying to “BIG-UP” somebody………..but dog….not only did you not TALK to him directly….you didn’t say anything out of love before you put the dip out……..Let alone you didn’t even SAY “shout out to Pete Rock” or SOMETHING on the track….if it’s all about “love” and “biggin him up”…….come on son…like…WHO DIDN’T KNOW YOU DO-NOT-TOUCH- T.R.O.Y……..ever………..i know a lot of cats in here rap…….i PROMISE nobody in here ever even tried to touch that record out of SHEER respect.
I respect Pete Rock but Lupe did this song more than justice, Pete Rock needs to stop being a bitch
this sell out needs to stop acting a fool. i cant believe i used to be a fan
Fuck Lupe Bitchasco
Its the fact that Pete knew about the record for a long ass time. If he had a problem he shouldve addressed it way earlier “internally” instead of after it dropped on twitter. That’s bitch shit, Its all about principles here. Lupe can and still makes original music he can’t pay homage or whatever you wanna call it to a classic beat/producer/rapper? C’mon now where’s the love?
I think the biggest thing about this whole situation is when someone tries to reach back and pay homage in hiphop its always a big ordeal. Other genres don’t ether each other like this when everything is good on the legal side.
Lol @ Nova. Glad their on good terms. Just put out good music. Fuck all that extra shit
who is the bum in the picture?
Lupe mad
LUPE IS GONNA HAVE A AMAZING YEAR THIS YEAR LOL YALL ALL WILL SEE
Damn Lu is usually zen as fuck. I aint never heard this dude this angry. You know some shit went down. Sounds like Pete admitted he was in the wrong on the phone and they DID clear it up and he was supposed to put out a public sort of retraction on the shit he said to make the public know what’s up but he didn’t. Anyway it’s a moot point. That track is crazy. Lu was spitting real shit its a shame that all this BS is overshadowing what was said in the music to some niggas.
Peace to both Lu & Pete
@NOVA dude TROY has been remixed time and time again on mixtapes and what have you. the only thing Lu did different was actually saying some relevant shit on it.
pete rock is a has been in da rap community kinda like cuba gooding jr in movies. they were hailed as da best at a point in time but they have become irrelevant. but yea pete u keep talking shit u still aint getting paid bitch nigga ( oh yea im white and i say nigga do something bout it bitches) cus u dont own the sample NIGGA(on my push t shit right now) so jus keep ur mouth shut as u sit on ur couch in your 2 bedroom condo HAHAHAHAHAHA POOR NEGROE.
[...] (RapRadar) [...]
@lukerbutposts THE DIFFERENCE is this is a major album release……..all the other times nobody was trying to eat off it……….they weren’t commercial releases……..and NOBODY (and i mean NOBODY) touched the BEAT……….that’s just wrong.
@NOVA a valid point
Fuck Lupe Fiasco. Never supporting this cheating, sneaky bitch again. I hope you fail in all of your future endeavors, although frankly it looks like you’re taking care of that pretty well yourself.
very wack music + extreme arrogance + bitchassness = Lupe over the last 2 years
I think the song is dope.
Sometimes these old niggas get there feelings hurt.
I dont even understand why pete is mad would he be gettin a check for this shit?
Nope. Lupe and Atlantic cut him out of the loop.
@DEAD UE OBVIOUSLY A YMCMB FAN SMH IF U ONLY LISTEN TO THE SONG AND WHAT HE SAID BUT U WONT AND NEXT YEAR PEOPLE WILL BE CRYING THEIR EYES OUT AND WISHIN THEY WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO LUPE BCUZ HES WARNING YALL WHATS ABOUT TO GO DOWN AND IM PRETTY SURE HIS ALBUM WILL TELL THE REST OF THE STORY SO ALL IMA SAY IS IF U HAVE SUM MONEY I SUGGEST YALL BUY SUM GOLD MATTERFACT BECAUSE THESE RAPPERS KNOW I GUARANTEE THEY ALL HAVE GOLD BARS EVERY WHERE IN THEY HOUSE
SHIT I WONT BE SURPRISED IF THEY TRY TO KILL LUPE BECAUSE OF WHAT HES DOING
^^ what the fuck sherm are you smoking?
listen to the interview. Lu and them talked to Pete months before they released the track. Pete knew and said go for it. Only after Lu released the record did Pete come out and PUBLICLY bash Lu on Twitter, AFTER they already talked behind the scenes. Also, because of issues with publishing and tracks owned by third parties they HAD to remake the beat because samples were unclearable. They wanted to pay homage and they thought Pete was ok with it, and then he shitted on them on Twitter. that’s not cool man. I think the original is as legendary as any hiphop head but that doesn’t excuse Pete’s behaviour. I think Lu has the right to be upset.
^ @iClick………..fam……Lupe was double talking…around the 4 minute mark he reveals that he NEVER spoke to pete before yesterday……#proofinthepudding
It seems like Pete Rock is the one doing bitch shit. If Lupes team reched out to u months ago and u said ok why you going to throw a fit on twitter after the song drops be act likes its new to u? And then he doesn’t release the statement they agreed to over the phone? I’d be mad too. Lupe did the song justice. No music is untouchable if you dont own the rights.
lupe personally didnt talk to dat has been because he has millions and pete is on welfare. he meant lupes people talked to pete rock(pete is so poor he doesnt have people) and kept him posted on the track and he signed off on it even tho as lupe stated he didnt even need to have done any of that since dat ashy poor nigga pete didnt even own that sample.
^thats only lupes side of the story. At the end of the day, if Pete Rock is pissed, then lupe clearly fucked up trying to “pay homage”, which seems to defeat the purpose of using the beat anyway.
^@Phonte and iClick
true, but the thing is Pete wasn’t pissed anymore at least apparently. After that phone call he tweeted that “they worked out their differences.” Lu is still pissed despite that though, which to me speaks volumes on how everything went down internally.
Yeah, but this interview has really kinda pissed me off about Lupe. I mean, what right does Lupe have to be pissed? In the end, he won; he got the beat, he got the cosign, and he didn’t even have to ask. Now he wants an apology, help promoting the album and an introduction to the pope, too? Fuck all that, now niggas are just getting greedy and overreaching.
fuck pete and his cuz troy that nigga used to beat on women slappin em around like they was dogs
@Play He Has Every Right To Be Pissed Pete Flaked On Him And Then Shitted On Him When He Decided To Release The Record. He Wasn’t Asking For An Apology He Was Asking For Pete To Tell The Truth. If You Didn’t Like The Remake Don’t Cosign From The Jump. Pete You Fucking Up Niggas Credibility Which Is More Important Than A Song.
^only if you believe lupe over pete
Leave the classics alone. I mean release a freestyle over the joint if you really feel you want to rock it. But don’t try to eat off of legendary sh*t.
I honestly think Pete Rock is tryin to get a resurgence to his career through this controversy. Especially after tweeting how he and Lupe will work together. That, to me, sounds like a sign of employment and he’s saying his power move of airing out Lupe and his team worked. I hope that isn’t the case though.

The majority of yall homos don’t even listen or fuck with the god Lu. Yall just come on here to spread hate on somebody that’s legitimately trying to bring growth and peace to the hip-hop culture. Not like the rest of Nino Brown,Tony Montana wanna be ass niggas. Pete knew about this shit back in November and still pulled this bitch move? GTFO! Somebody like Lu has the utmost respect for the forfathers of hip-hop, so crazy that Pete would not tell the whole story. Lupe>90% of hip-hop. Food &Liquor 2!! FNF ALL THE WAY UP !!!!
DAMN, LUPE HEATED FOR REAL!!!! I WISH THESE NIGGAS WOULD JUST RESOLVE THIS BULLSHIT!!!! NEXT TIME, CALL A NIGGA!!!! FUCK MY “TEAM” SPOKE TO HIS “TEAM” BULLSHIT!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
The most interesting thing about this “beef” is that the gulf between each side’s story is so wide. Fans are inclined to pick a side, but who could possibly tell who to side with when the facts are so skewed? All we really know for a fact is that Lupe did not technically (legally) have to get Pete Rock’s approval to release the song as is, and that Pete Rock was not happy when he heard it 3 days ago. Personally, I find Pete’s version of events a little easier to believe, but like everything else, the real truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
ACCORDING TO LUPE: His “people reached out” to Pete Rock in November, who immediately gave his stamp of approval, and indicated to Lupe that he would have to clear the samples with other parties. Then, 3 days ago, Pete Rock had a sudden bout of bipolar amnesia, and freaked out when the song was posted online, posting a diatribe making it sound as though Lupe had not contacted him and that he would not have approved if he had. THEN Lupe confronted Pete over the phone, where Pete Rock admitted that he had been acting crazy, he was 100% wrong, and begged for forgiveness, which Lupe decided to grant him, as long as Pete publicly apologized and took full responsibility with a follow-up statement. At this point, Pete released a “we’re cool” statement, which was not good enough.
ACCORDING TO PETE: He was never contacted regarding the obvious use of his classic record “T.R.O.Y.” for Lupe’s new single. Reacting out of surprise when he heard the record 3 days ago, he took to Twitter to emphasize that he had not signed off on it, and that he did not approve. They spoke yesterday, settled their differences, and made plans to hit the studio together soon. Then Lupe freaked out again because he wasn’t supposed to reveal their plans, and because he was supposed to take the blame for the whole situation.
Lupe my nigga, hate it had to be him. I feel for him. Joint is still hot. Hopefully this shit gets FULLY resolved. looking forward to FL2.
Pete did just shit on his whole project.
It’s fucked up to have to scrap your lead single.
I hope this shit didn’t go to print and press.
Still will be the only album I’ll purchase this year.
who paid pete to did what he did?
@FTW I don’t think Lupe will be scrapping that single.
kinda wack to rap on that beat tho, dont toucjh that ish foreal unless ur gonna release that song on a mixtape u feel me- too o.g
