    GOOD RIDDANCE – FUCK THIS GUY! HE TALKS SO MUCH SHIT BUT DOESNT HAVE THE GUTS TO STAND UP TO HIS RECORD LABEL TO GET HIS ALBUMS RELEASED! RAP GAME WON’T MISS HIM ONE BIT!

    HA!! DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!

  5. POWER says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOO…WTF!!!!!!!

  6. Midsize Jerm says:

    The problem isn’t that he got too political, it’s that he couldn’t come up with a sonically appealing way to say it. I don’t think he ever really got to the place he was hyped up to get to, but he used to be pretty damn good, now he just makes whack records that always seem to fall short. We’ll do fine without him.

    He got some damn good points about Keef tho.

    You stupid niggas only want to hear ignorance. Lupe fell of and became too political? He talks about what’s really happening in the world–which is what hip hop is all about–and you would appreciate it if you all didn’t have your heads up your asses. What? You all still butt hurt bc he called your president a terrorist? He was pointing out that the terrorist threat was ultimate by American foreign policy, which is currently being carried out by Obama. Lupe speaks the truth…and yes, sometimes it comes off as preachy and obnoxious, but the message still has merit. Not to mention, dude can spit better than most “rappers” today.

  8. King Kong says:

    If FNL 2 is wack or anything below great, then Lupe will forever be a bitch for retiring.

    Pharrell collab
    Skulls
    LUPEnd

    At least 3 more albums

  9. Cruel Thing says:

  12. ***CROMER BEATS*** says:

    Too political…wow. I forgot, we’re black. We supposed to two step daily as our communities crumble. “Now where did I put my blackface…oh there it is…next to my brain, right under my precious bad bitch”. SMH.

  13. DreYoung says:

    Lupe retiring, Wayne dropped a wack Dedication mixtape, Chief Keef on the comeup, Hip Hop is losing so bad right now

  14. Tokyo Tony says:

    If he retires…..I have no one to listen to any more…

    God bless you Lupe

    G.O.A.T

  15. Nick says:

    lamborghini angels and around my way were dope records, maybe not smash hits, but this guy is in the top tier of lyricists at the moment

  16. freshsidenyc says:

    People are actually happy Lupe is retiring? because he’s actually rapping and addressing real issues? wtf is going on?

  17. Black Shady says:

    this nigga is an attention whore lmao. he wont quit….stop with the crying people

  18. Your Friendly Neighborhood Dopeman says:

    F*ck off Lupe. I’m tired of your sh*t

  19. ICE says:

    Thank goodness this dude is trash

  20. Outlet says:

    I feel you lupe, we can let them win your still hope for a lot of young kids out there

  21. Loaded says:

    GO AWAY LUPE.

    no one likes your hypocritical ass.

    You do a electro song with Trey Songz now your all of a sudden wisdom Lupe again. Fuck outta here!

  22. JustMyOpinion says:

    Lupe Fiasco Contemplates Retirement………………..THEN look at his contract, only realize he owes the label two more albums. Rappers don’t retire they have CONTRACTS. The list goes Jay-z, Andre 3000, Scarface., etc.

  23. M.T says:

    this is all just a publicity stunt for his next album…..He aint serious. Also Lupe always been political..but hes been touching on alot of social issues more these days and considering the title and theme of the album, i think its appropriate. LOL @ chief keefe. that nigga needs to sit his ass down trynna act tough on twitter.

    This song is pretty good. it should be a bonus track.

  24. DMVinyourchick says:

    well we still have TDE and cole and we can and jay elect in the mix hopefully, niggaz trina compete with detox

  25. How Wonderful... says:

    Its crazy how cats say they hate Lupe. Dudes say Lupe is trash because his music and content go way over your head. Lupe is far from trash….Its not even worth debating with half you cats who are probably like 14 to 16 years old. You youngsters are lost. If your mad cuz he will contradict himself as an artist fine, because____________ (place name of your favorie rapper here) does as well.

  26. I hope chief keef dies, he does nothing for the world and contributes nothing to anyone who lives in it. Hes a fucking sloth.

  27. KoldCase says:

    he not

    didnt he say that shit for his last album

  28. Ten Macaroni Necklaces says:

    I Lol’d when I read that chief keef tweet. That nigga reckless. Hahaha

    What was lupe response, probably some Gandhi shit

  29. IMMORTAL says:

    Well…it looks as if Chief Keef’s twitter has been hacked so this seems to be a misunderstanding.

  30. HJOOD says:

    Fuck Cheif Keef for real, if you like his music you might as well kill yo self. Lupe speaks on real shit

  31. Lil Majer The Cartune says:

    Ugh, this type of stuff always happens to the rappers/entertainers we NEED in the game! smh!!

  32. dunnydundun says:

    Wat was lupe’s response? lol he deleted it

  33. Goldenboy says:

    Lupe isn’t leaving.. He’s just disgusted with the ignorance of hip hop just as Nas has been.. Chief Keef won’t even be around next yr.. The male version of Lil Mama

  34. sway-z says:

    Y’know, I used to say The Game was the hip hop version of Chad Johnson. The type of nigga to ride a bull or play soccer just to get attention n shit. But the last couple years Lupe done got on his heels.

    Never mind the shit he said about Keef, cuz I co-sign 100%, but you retiring dog? Again? Didn’t you say this shit 300x before? This is the same nigga that basically spent the whole month of August just trying to say the most left field, inflammatory shit for a provocative reaction. And I dig Lupe, I keep saying it cause it’s true, I was a day 1 fan, for real. But this nigga just keeps on with the antics, just drop the album nigga, that’s all anybody wants to hear from you right now.

  35. King says:

    Lupe is a great rapper but his situation is fucked up with Atlantic Records reason being Atlantic is known for selling popular pop singles rather than solid album of course minus some of T.I.’s albums….Lupe is trying to make conscious music which i think is being rejected by the label That’s the reason he’s been acting like a dunno what to call…Lupe needs to just concenterate on his music rather than pointing out someone and yes he’s become too political in the past couple of days….Lastly he should’ve signed with Def Jam

  36. the void says:

    rappers never retire. i hope he does tho. lol but yo, who is afraid of little lupe? its funny that lupe and keef have the same hair style lol. r.i.p lupe.

  37. the void says:

    lupe endorsed romney. no lie. peace.

  38. tr says:

    He’s cried wolf many times…

  39. the void says:

    lupes response – “peace god”.

  40. CaliSteppin says:

    He won’t retire. I’m calling his bluff but instead of talking about lupe we should be fucking blasting chief keef! How the hell is he going to say that about lupe just cuz lupe spoke the TRUTH

  41. FTW says:

    Real Talk… Fuck Keef.

    This ignorant useless low self-esteem crack baby fuck Keef didn’t even comprehend what was said. Lupe was smart enough to know not to argue with a fool.

    When a conscious black man says he fears for the future of the black community, and you respond with some ignorant shit… you’ve officially fucked up. Fuck Keef, sellout ass nigga.

    Progressive educated black people have to let the slow ignorant blacks self-destruct; and that’s why Lupe wants to retire. That shit is going to be hard to watch but it’s happening and the people it’s happening to are so ravenous they don’t notice.

    How to Kill a Wolf – (Eskimo Style)

    FTW

  42. Ten Macaroni Necklaces says:

    What did lupe say First that made keef go off

  43. das rapist says:

    that is not the same lupe fiasco i was a fan of in 05/06, when it was some futuristic Japanese skateboard bape underachiever who could rap his ass off type shit. who is this guy in the picture above with the shit-locks and dwayne wayne glasses???

  44. MelRose says:

    all lupe said was the culture cheif keif promotes scares him because of the streets of chicago is violent

  45. Lostprodigy says:

    Look you need rappers like Lupe to contrast rappers like Chief Keef so why all the shade kids calm down I for one hopes he reconsiders wouldn’t be his first time saying this…..Can’t respect that your whole perspective is wack

  46. ECU says:

    There goes one of my favorite rappers.Hopefully he wont retire

  47. PEEP says:

    is that a deftones sample or is it just lupe channelling??

  48. Theloneus says:

    Ignorance abound in the comments section smh.
