Lupe Fiasco Doesn’t Want His MTV
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!
funny, he wasnt saying this when his clips was playing. not saying what hes preaching isnt true. But most niggas dont want to complain till they on the wrong end of the stick
chut up
AMEN
“illuminati’s favorite network” get em Speak out against the control
Shout out to Lupe ..i hope he be ok …but his career is over you cant win against the machine (Illuminati) they gonna try to kill him , black ball him and make him look crazy Killuminati!
but he is right
WTF this Negroe talking bout…
Damn, Lupe. Tell’em why you mad, son!!! But he’s right though, MTV’s wack.
Hes 100 record labels pump all this money into wacka and soulja boy people like lupe and nas have to
fight just to get help putting there music out … i realize its not about lyrics any more bout how much people see you you can be wack but as long as you grinding you get place on the best mc list smh
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.
All they do is promote the wack shit
well he’s tellin the truth. Can’t argue with that.
Fuck MTV. There are sites like creativecontrol.com karmaloop.com and new sites coming up like clipcards.com and you have youtube and vimeo. Wtf is an MTV. Fuck’em.
Wtf is a MTV*
You got Lupe talkin about the Illuminati and yall still dnt believe the Illuminati is real?
TRUTH. Period.
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
^
man i hope this help wake up those non believers who don’t wont to accept the FACT that everything aint what it seems in this world
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
co sign @So Icy Boi
Don’t disregard the message because of the messenger,ain’t like he’s lying about (M)tv
“Oh snap…MTV (illuminati’s favorite network)”
Fucking retard.
@ what is mtv? amuse Tell-A-Vision aka tunnel vision…programming daily lives….wahahah…
proud of lupe mang!!!
Wake up you fukin herds!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJQNj27iLQU
He needs to learn to ignore the critics let his music speak for itself. Show them better then telling them.
that list is the biggest fuckin mockery of shit ive ever seen,
lmao @dum fucs
[…] Source […]
c’moooon people…it ain’t that serious. all this mtv list is about…and all its ever been about…is time stamping who’s making the most impact on hip hop culture. lupe you wanna be on the list? put some fuckin’ music out that will make an impact on a national scale. you did that with “superstar”. by no means do i want you to compromise your artistic integrity to make a another superstar-like record..but fuck..find a way to be simple yet profound…thats the fight you should be fighting.
Signed,
A Fan.
^^^ SMH you niggas dumb …this aint about MTV hottest MC list…its about what MTVrapfix said about him
THIS SHIT IS THE TRUTH!!!!! FUCK ALL YOU DUMB NIGGERS WHO DON’T KNOW BIG WORDS, LUPE IS ON POINT! FUCK MTV AND THEIR DESTRUCTION OF YOUNG MINDS.
get em LUPE bring them some FIASCO…@thankmehater you right lol…but lupe is smart dude who can break you down with even cursing at ya you can tell that he his words is coming from a true place thats why its the truth.
Lu you the man! Keepin it 100.
Fuck the greedy haters. Who needs MTV…
He’s just mad cuz he won’t be on the hottest list of mc’s this year… JUST LIKE LAST YEAR!
If actually stopped being a bitch & put out good music he would be more appreciated.
It always disappoints me when prophetic artists like Lupe or Nas send these kinds of letters and they’re filled with typos and misspellings an 8th grader would catch.
Seriously – how does a manager or a publicist not intervene and proofread these things to keep these guys, who are truly gifted at verbal communication, from looking like absolute idiots when it comes time to put things on paper?
Esco; Lu – please don’t disappoint me like that again.
^^^ It’s not a letter. He tweeted these and RapRadar put them together to make it look like a letter.
LUPE SHUT THE FUCK UP… NIGGA IS MAD BECAUSE HE WAS LEFT OUT
DONT HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
lupe a smart dude, did you see them big words he was using? he right tho unfortunately he might be wasting his time you cant fight those things on your own, im with him, no homo
To be honest here, I would take him more serious if he wasn’t trying to make money off the establishment he is bashing. Nobody told him to sign to a major. Everyone knows MTV stop playing videos a long time ago. Would he prefer they go back to the old MTV when the only black person who could possibly get on was Prince or Michael Jackson. Or futhermore, should I take him serious because he throws a bunch of big words around to make me think he is smart. C’mon son, knock it off already. I don’t care what you say, if you have a hot product out, no one could stop it. Hit us with some samples of your latest work then talk to us.
One fool will deny more truth in half an hour than a wise man can prove in seven years! When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land.They said ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land! The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it! A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent! So I guess all these rappers like Pac, Mobb Deep etc… just making up some shit huh? Ignorance is a Bliss!!
and still nothing will change.
he went in… and, its the truth! MTV aint been MTV since the late 90s with the hit of “the real world” & “road rules” …. music television… music television
its reality television galore on that network
Man this guy is gold. Someone has to stick it to them. I’m behind Lupe.
Turn on MTV and all you see is Italian trash (no disrespect to Italians on here, but you gotta be upset of how they are marketing you’s), prengant teenagers, and faggots.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT MTV?
Illuminati. Isn’t all powerful as y’all cry about.
Don’t forget about God. Or did you already?
Y’all who spew illuminati seem to never speak about God ever.
Calling someone white a “red devil” is a pussy move.
Next time, call him out on his ignorance, then pray for dude.
We are all, walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
Except you ALL (illuminati conspiracy bloggers) fear the evil.
Find yourself a relationship with God and then grow a set and then acknowledge the evil but don’t give it power.
God is the Almighty, not MTV the government or the illuminati.
Someone Tell Lu that too.
Stay Blessed
@Kunal, word. you’re right. my mistake. My point still stands though that Lupe didn’t have anything negative to say about MTV until they had some negative things to say about him then now all of a sudden he’s talking about their credibility as a network.
And lupe is still on some bullshit,
if the illuminati is what they claim it is.
Wouldn’t the “old” mtv still be the same shit?
Wouldn’t they have been that way when they played your videos?
When they play rage against the machine videos?
or tupac videos?
The illuminati conspiracy has too many holes.
So, instead of fearing something made by a man,
Ill have no fear except for the creator. Who is love. So no fear.
While y’all bitch about the illuminati but still listen to Gucci and Waka (so icy boi!)
Makes no sense
@ dum fucs.
Youtube isn’t in control by the illuminati?
Youtube is owned by google.internet=illuminati.
^^^^^^^^
Means the conspiracy has too many holes.
he’s totally right. MTV used to actually play videos, then they only played half of videos, and now they just put on stupid ass shows like Teen Mom…wtf is that? the “M” is supposed to stand for music right? you don’t have to like Lupe to agree with him. MTV is the worst
illuminat? o shit lupe is straight up nut job crackhead
still think illuminati is fake? ^^^
umm….
lupe hasn’t changed since he came out. i guess it’s true that niggas don’t understand his lyrics, because this was just a twitter rant version of shit he’s been saying lyrically since at least 2006. where y’all been?
the more time goes on, the more raw he gets, that’s all. he was friendly and slick about it at first, but now he’s getting his straight forward, protect ya neck on.
oh and it wasn’t about the hottest mc list. (i’m sure he wont be expecting to be on that)… it’s about the rapfix top 10 ways to stay a slave on a major label advice mtv gave him. any free man would be pissed.
This.is.the.truth. Why do they only push artists like kanye jay z and rhianna. Even katie perry said she sold her soul to break into the music industry. They are poisioning everyone and then putting neatly wrapped innocent shows like teen mom to act as a curtain. Even 2pac said don’t just bob your head to the music, listen to the message. Its sick and why is it a monopoly? There’s not even another program that can battle them. Wake up idiots.
he lost my respect with the illuminati bullshit
the man just don’t know how to promote his work . watch kanye give some free music do something interesting
neva eva liked Lupe but i do now…big ups
Lol, this nigga been blackin out all over the place. Just come with the heat fam, everything else will take care of itself
Lupe aint hot, his music may be righteous but dude is as dull as they come. If he doesnt make it onto MTV’s network he has no one to blame but himself. I dont watch MTV now and I most def wouldn’t watch it if it was full of corny negro’s like Lupe. Get some flavor bout yourself kiddo, become interesting and then people will start to care about your art.
Oh yeah, MTV aint been poppin since like 94, get over it, everyone else has, and dont forget your late pass dork.
LOL
Lupe i am a big fan but ur whining now. Your using “Twitter” to combat the machine, ur using the machine to combat the machine. U can’t expect to change anything with out having power. That’s like a broke dude waking up and deciding he wants to take on the wrong in the world. Get in a position of power, play your role and then when they give you power like Eminem, then take on the machine. STFU, make some hits, get money and then lead the crusade for change. Cus we can all sit here and say fuck MTV blah blah, but we all gon’ flip to MTV throughout the wk, still watch Jersey Shore and all the other reality shows, we still gon’ watch MTV tomorrow. So kill the blog rants, like u not just gon’ go back to wat u were doing tomorrow. You need the machine, the machine doesn’t need you. So use the machine to spit on wax, get ur feelings out on the mic not Twitter….
Gone…
I liked this guy… Until he started with that “Boogyman” shit…
No ones looking to MTV for information on music. Nobody..
And his Kayne JR act would be better if he was maybe 1/3 Ye’s talent.
Internet Pro= Everyone has voice
Internet Con= Everyone has a voice.
Your the only one that gives a fuck about what MTV says..
That MTV post stated nuthin unreasonable!! Notice that Lupe is the only nigga on the planet that the fans and the media alike are pushing to up the ante. Ppl protesting for some fuckin music, blogs calling him out, producers too!! Lupe seems to be the only one who doesnt get it. He is his worst enemy. I dont blame Atlantic or the media, cuz he shoots himself in the foot.
Waka got shot and says the dumbest shit on earth, Joey & Lil B got punched on camera, Wayne, Gucci, TIP & Boosie did jail time, JCole is barely being marketed rite on Rocnation. yet they have all ascended their fanbases and anticipation for new shit. Lupe could eat all them, but haz the buzz of a dead bee!!
Lupe MTV started sucking ass about 5 years ago. We all know it’s just plain shitty now.
I thinks he’s realized his 15 minutes are pretty much done and is now takin it put in every way he’ll get attention.
[…] Lupe Fiasco Rages Against MTV Just when things boiled down between Wasalu and Atlantic, he’s found another victim for his off the wall rants. […] […]
iti’s possible to entertain above the lowest common denominator. The Godfather films are entertaining but they aren’t complete nonsense. Sad that people don’t see the common sense
Did any of you fucks read what MTV did? The writers went out of their way to downgrade a talented artist, and supply condescending remarks about how to become popular. You think Lupe doesn’t know how to become poplar? Get the fuck outta here. If Lu has to take 5 minutes out of his day and bash some dumbasses who are steady producin shows like “My Big Friggin Wedding,” more power to him.
I bought both of his albums, and both are classics Lupe is our Hip Hop Malcom X.
i don’t care what nobody says. He is just hating. He’s a good rapper but tell me what the fuck is he doing right now. NOTHING. He’s not hot. He need to keep getting at his label and not the TV channels
@ Shzntt…Malcom X? Really?…You’re committing to Lupe as hip hop Malcom X?
@K The Illuminati put those book in your libary(REality Check)
They regulate EVERYTHING.
Keep biting the hands that feed you Lupe…
Where was this holier than thou attitude when you were pretending to be a skater to break through with the kiddies?
The Greatest Quote Ever By The Greatest Rapper Alive. Couldnt say it any better lupe. LASERS fuck everyone who talked shit bout him FNF up bitch
Boy Bye!!
idiots think that lupe is talking reckless but he is speaking nothing but the truth just look what happened 2 hip hop
Yo That Boy Lupe aint never tell a lie… Wack rap is the shit right now and its all a part of a huge plan to desensitize the youth and keep them uninformed so when the time comes……>> no questions will be asked … and nobody will speak out sorta like the acutally “Nice”rappers out there
Lupe is one of those ppl who thinks too highly of himself. You can try to talk some sense into him, and he will argue with you about made up facts and BS. He’s one of those ppl who hides behind big words but really he’s talking nonsense, like a prison intellectual.
Lupe Is A Lyrically Monster….But Also Intelligent In Whatever He Speaks On…
Real Ppl Support Real Hip-Hop…Lupe is A Big Part Of That. Speak Ur Mind Lupe, U Got My Support.
They BlackBall And Try To Make Ppl Look Crazy, But Real Recognize Real. Period!!! Fuck The World, Not The Ppl.
LO @ the kid who makes songs for the “Twilight” OST tryin to get his fight the power on
Dude has a point but is he really the right one to be making it??
Why when you like someone you find someones to talk about or bring down. I like Lupe and respect Soulgah Boy Hustle. I will say MTV havent been right in years and if you like real music you would understand that unless you sitting in front of your 13 inch tv eating popcorn waiting on the sweet 16 to come on. B E T is garbage too for about 20 hours a day.
FUCK MTV!
Hiphop has turned to sh!t… I hope someone can ressurect the real soon.. the tommy hilfiger,nautica,polo,gap,nike,jordans,timberland,northface,avirex,new era,starter,orange on the inside flight jackets,army fatigue style.. cuz this rock n roll rapper stuff is completely wack , and totally a scheme by the industry to make the majority(85% ‘ers)accept homosexuality into their lives and into their homes.seriously look at how gay the kids are becoming and look at the percentage of bi sexuals and gays coming out of the new generation…Its sickening.
The tight and colorful pants and shirts along with the ugly 80′s styles sneakers,sunglasses(glasses too… i mean come on the malcom x joints and the cokebottle lenses… come on son!!!!)and the haircuts.Be serious! No one respects you .. No one takes you seriously… No one that supports that style and dresses like these cats is a leader.. Check yourself and think about how sorry you have become by being apart of the “skater” movement.
Noobs
Can’t even talk about a corporation without stans knocking you. Fools defending mtv like they’re on the payroll.
MTV is laughing at all of you right now. They made this list so u buffoons would go crazy in ur cages, and guess what????? You all fell for it
IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, IGNORE MTV AND ITS STUPID LISTS
Lupe thinks hes sounding righteous right now, but he looks like the biggest fool of all playing right into their hands, thats just how they planned it!
Hell yea! More people need to step up about this shit…lupe aint the only one that feels that way! Keep doing ya thing lupe i wish the best to you for keepin it real man
[…] Lupe Fiasco Rages Against MTV […]
[…] dropped the following rant on Twitter, blasting MTV and accusing them of falling from […]
why is lupe fiasco so mad about that article? it wasnt even bad or really dissing. it was really just the writer’s opinion on what they think he should do. rather than “goin ham” on them. he coulda just ignored it or shortened it. i mean the only useful tip on there was drop a mixtape. other than that…its MTV as usual = shit. so i dont know why he’s mad. he coulda made one fuckin comment about garbage ass MTV and that’s it. see kids see Lu as a revolutionary, and he may be close…but what missing is the succinct quick wit of people like Malcolm, who’d of said this in a sentence or two. also why do it over Twitter? thats like the dissing rape but condoning cannibalism. Twitter is just as banal and vapid as fuckin MTV, in case he aint noticed. ok thats an opinion. and enough. comment board niggas aint gone read this.
first of all, that illuminati shit is real. if u want a brief history lesson it started out in the crusades, when motherfuckers reppin christianity were going ape shit fuckin up everybody. then they started to get so powerful they got into satanic shit cuz they traveled everywhere and learned new shit, so they started meeting in secret and praying to a decapitated head, called the baphomet. uve seen this image as either the devil, or a goat, or in a shit ton of subliminal messages u get bombarded with every day like the “rock on” hand sign when u point ur index and pinky finger out, satanic. they control the industry, which is america=corporation, and music is just an avenue for revenue. regardless, ppl like kanye, teflon don, jay, all those sell outs had to either die or sell their soul cuz thats the only option.
BACK TO LUPE, if he speaks out against this shit he will eventually die or be demonized into something crazy, and u stupid fucks will believe it because u dont do any real reading and talking about sports and reality shows like its important. but i still hold it down for u my people, try and look at life with a 3rd eye
haters. we’ll see by march is all i gotta say to these ignorant fucktards
