Yo is ? really evening listening to to the song? It's amazing. I think it's epic ? to hear this on the radio in this day of mainstream, dont y'all agree this can spark a change in hip hop mainstream? Lupe should have asked, but I think it's great for hip hop today being that lupe is very popular. Just imagine a Troy beat on the "mainstream" radio. Dope ? .
But man 9/25/12??? I thought it was in July.... I cant wait that long lol. It's very refreshing to hear some old Lupe. -
In other news lupe says hes not doing rock the bells....not that he could do it after this song haha
http://www.complex.com/music/2012/05/lupe-fiasco-says-he-is-not-performing-at-rock-the-bells
This year’s Rock The Bells has a huge lineup that features a reunited Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, headliners Timbaland and Missy Elliott, and host The RZA. But one of the acts expected to perform at the hip-hop festival apparently won't be there. It's Lupe Fiasco, who jumped on Twitter to clarify that he is not performing. There is still some time left, so maybe he’ll change his mind. -
The nerd did the beat justice so I can't hate...
-
its not like he gave it some half assed effort he went in on it. He brought a classic beat back and killed it
-
ion know mane, the Dope Boys song for greg street>>>>this
and at least that seemed like a sample, this seems like bruh just downloaded the instrumental -

This ? is all a publicity stunt. -
Pete needs to ? foreal ...ol hypocritical ass ? .... if anything he should be mad at how wack lupe came on this ? ... what a dud ...im gaining worse vibes about this album by the minute
-
Pete Rock was given permission personally from Tom Scott to sample the song and make TROY. Lupe could've said something if this was a homage.
-
Yah i cant cosign the beat rip with no Blessing but lupe as always brings it..
-
Whoa, Lupe should have gotten permission from Pete to recycle the Troy beat. This fool took the whole song, not just a sample lol.
Pete Rock is (rightfully) ? off about this track. Shame on Lupe. He's got all the talent in the world, but he can't stay out of his damn way. First the Tribe Called Quest debacle & now this.
-
Have you seen what Pete Rock was saying though? Look, http://ology.com/post/78256/pete-rock-bites-lupe-fiasco-s-new-single-around-my-way-freedom-ain-t-free-
Lupe was real good with his comeback giving respect. Not sure what Rock will say in response, but here is also what he said in response. Anddd I dig this track so it's over. http://ology.com/post/78273/lupe-addresses-the-pete-rock-fiasco-says-food-and-liquor-ii-will-have-no-features -
I think Lupe needs to explain his reason (not that he owes it to any of yall) for it before anyone goes hard about it. Like Pete Rock just did mad ? for attention, going hard on twitter when that's something he feels so strongly on. Why put all your business out instead of calling him or setting up a meeting a few days later. ? ain't treal.
-
what i don't get is why he didn't do the same gesture that he wanted lupe to extend. Hit him up personally. I'm sure he couldve easily gotten his number.
-
an artist of lupe caliber taking one of the most widely recognized, sentimentally valued, hip-hop tracks ever, and going PUBLIC with it BEFORE getting blessing from Pete is pretty irresponsible. And boy wonder got dope beats for DECADES, why this son didn't just grab something new/original to have all to himself?? no need to piggy back off a classic lol, dang...leave that alone
-
He ripped it, but dayum creativity much? That song been done already
-
Lupe did the track justice imo...*shrugs*
-
listenin to this again. this actually pretty good. i always loved this sample from the original song TROY to this.

you do realize that the label might have got clearance from somewhere to even have it up for sale right ???
-
Still doesnt change the fact Lupe still ? boy but this track gives his next album promise.

He should have checked in, it's that simple, this is not the first time he upset a Hip Hop Legend .
We hold Lupe to a higher standard because he presents himself as a man/artist of integrity, he needs to walk that walk. -

Does he have to check if he got it cleared by the label ? by the ppl who the sample belongs to ? just asking ? or he just needs to ask Pete because he sampled it first ? what if lupe just cut out the middle man and went to who sample belongs to? -
-
Lupe killed the beat, period. Is it official release anyway? He could sample it in more subtle way, since it sounds like total rip-off, but on the other side TROY is one of the most characteristic hip-hop songs. Pete's reaction is a bit too much.

here is a new interview of lupe talking about petes reaction
