Pete Rock’s Moment Of Clarity

Friday, May 25 2012 8:05 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story
After Lupe told Sway that not everything has been resolved, Pete Rock clarifies a few of the events that has happened in regards to how “T.R.O.Y.” was used in Lupe’s new song. Pete, the floor is all yours.
It’s true that Lupe Fiasco’s representative from Atlantic Records contacted me last fall and he did so while I was in mourning over the sudden death of my cousin Heavy D. I gave the representative a conditional “yes” to use T.R.O.Y. for Lupe’s album but only based on the condition that I be involved on the project. It’s what I always say when approached by people who want to use that particular song. I was never contacted again. At no point was there any follow up from Atlantic Records. Now, the story gets twisted and it’s being said that I said “yes.” The part about my conditions has been left out to make me seem like I’m a hypocrite. When I heard about the song again, it was done, completed, and playing on the radio…and that was Monday night.

Lupe Fiasco Calls Sway In The Morning

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.

I just got off da phone lupe, we worked out our differences and we bout to get it in. Gonna be epic and we gonna give Troy and hev the proper respect they deserve and make history with lupe.

After the jump, co-producer of the controversial track, Simonsayz, addresses the situation.
