    People are mad stupid
    How could you think someone with Lupe's background and discography would mean those things seriously?

    This one for the fans here Jack

    [Hook]
    I think I'm Malcom X, Martin Luther
    Add a King, add a Junior
    Some Bible verses, couple Sunnahs
    An AK-47 that's a revolution!! (? )
    Think I'm 2Pac, Bob Marley
    Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey
    Them the real ones, light a lighter for 'em
    Letcha know, that I'm ridin' for 'em

    [Verse 1]
    Gon' gimme some, a lil' more beat
    Call yo' friends around, then call the police!
    Im ridin' wit my flow, it take up four seats
    So I'm gon' ghost ride, but with no sheets
    One man by myself, even then I'm 4 deep
    Like hotel swimming pools, that's 4 feet
    These ? like the rooms, so suite(sweet)
    Priceline! so cheaaap
    I'm the cell phone, they the room keys
    I'm some shell toes, they some shoe strings
    I turn 'em off, I take 'em out
    I'm Reverend Run, with the laces out
    Adidas, so adios
    All day I dream, like I'm comatose
    That's your ship sinking, and I'm so afloat
    I'm T-Pain, I'm on a boat!!!
    Not the slave one, Decaprio's either
    Hear the waves come, they started in the bleachers
    So I'm swag surfin', the pool's getting deeper
    You still sweet though, here come them room keepers
    Ok I'll be the strings, you be the shoes
    But guess what (what?), now they Jimmy Choo's
    I wear the pants, you in the pools
    Yo ? meows, my ? AWOOOOOOOOO
    I got a fifth flow, call me Brother Man
    Africa the set, yea that's the motherland
    For that BP, I shed 50 tears
    In Nigeria that oil been spillin' for like 50 years!
    Fifty years! Hell naww, hell yeahhh, tryina tell ya'll
    At this rate, ? gon' lose!
    Can't search for water, or grow your own food!
    Tell me what's gon' happen, when them stores close
    And ain't gon open up, no more
    Yeah that's the realest ?
    You gon' feel dat, hungers yo' enemy
    But you can't ? dat!
    ? wake up, don't join the army
    ? your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis
    And they ain't even real, or are they?
    But you ain't even know, because you partay
    Too ? much, if you start to doubt
    They already in yo mind, and comin' out yo mouth
    Its not a trick, ? , it's a trap
    Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at
    And ? ain't fit, fat as hell!
    Fat in mind, body fat, as well
    Who use most the drugs? Americans!
    Whats in Afghanistan? heroin!
    You think thats by mistake? They can't stop dat?
    Don't think you safe though, because you not black
    Greed is colorblind, so I'm colorblind
    They gon' ? with yours soon as they done with mine
    They say I try to hard, verses overwhelm
    I learned most of this, from ? sittin' in jail
    Where you think I'm from? I'm from the streets ? !
    Triple OG's told me to teach ? !
    And that ain't made up, nope! Thats a fact
    They say that gangsta ? , is the ? I rap
    Look who I attract, look at my inner circle
    Bunch of street ? , and a couple Erkles
    Look at my fanbase! Oh yess!
    ? what Pro say! Look at this protest!
    Where they do that at? Who they do that for?
    Must mean I'm doin' bad, and things is movin' slow
    We talkin' revolution on public radio!
    Then catch me down in Houston, sittin on them 84's
    Trae wassup, ABN, gotcha back ? , sink or swim
    Free Chilly Chill, shake off yo' mastas
    Pray to ? ; Build yo mind faster

    Lupe flipped a song by Rick Ross about moving weight and turned it into an inspirational song (Building Minds Faster)



    And he repped my home country on there too! He's a GOAT for that..


    Yeah he said "? MLK" on that KRIT song (which I wasn't even offended by) but put it in context. Maybe he meant '? MLK's methods of being accepted as a Black man in America..' especially with the recent unlawful killings of Black males by law enforcement agents






    And for y'all Lupe haters and those that passively misunderstand him.. he made a song for y'all called 'Dumb It Down'

    Nobody in this thread "misunderstood" Lupe.

    Because the Lupe fans in here thinks that everybody should automatically know that the line was from a song, and that the people on Twitter that misunderstood the line were wrong. And if you didn't hear the song then you should automatically know that Lupe didn't mean it literally and if you weren't sure then you should've did your googles.

    For that, KRIT, let's ? these ?
    You got skills to help build these killers (killers)

    Turn the whole thing into a contest
    My ? ? this mic
    We should be ? with MIC
    Military industrial complex
    And we can get rich, ? , ? showing love

    School is for lames, man, these ? join gangs

    G's on the internet, ? like bam

    Fill that ? with ?
    And make these ? move their booties
    And help these ? make their movies
    All these ? into their graves
    And talk these hoes out their coochies

    I think I'm Malcom X, Martin Luther
    Add a King, add a Junior
    Some Bible verses, couple Sunnahs
    An AK-47 that's a revolution!! (? )
    Think I'm 2Pac, Bob Marley
    Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey
    Them the real ones, light a lighter for 'em
    Letcha know, that I'm ridin' for 'em

    [Verse 1]
    Gon' gimme some, a lil' more beat
    Call yo' friends around, then call the police!
    Im ridin' wit my flow, it take up four seats
    So I'm gon' ghost ride, but with no sheets
    One man by myself, even then I'm 4 deep
    Like hotel swimming pools, that's 4 feet
    These ? like the rooms, so suite(sweet)
    Priceline! so cheaaap
    I'm the cell phone, they the room keys
    I'm some shell toes, they some shoe strings
    I turn 'em off, I take 'em out
    I'm Reverend Run, with the laces out
    Adidas, so adios
    All day I dream, like I'm comatose
    That's your ship sinking, and I'm so afloat
    I'm T-Pain, I'm on a boat!!!
    Not the slave one, Decaprio's either
    Hear the waves come, they started in the bleachers
    So I'm swag surfin', the pool's getting deeper
    You still sweet though, here come them room keepers
    Ok I'll be the strings, you be the shoes
    But guess what (what?), now they Jimmy Choo's
    I wear the pants, you in the pools
    Yo ? meows, my ? AWOOOOOOOOO
    I got a fifth flow, call me Brother Man
    Africa the set, yea that's the motherland
    For that BP, I shed 50 tears
    In Nigeria that oil been spillin' for like 50 years!
    Fifty years! Hell naww, hell yeahhh, tryina tell ya'll
    At this rate, ? gon' lose!
    Can't search for water, or grow your own food!
    Tell me what's gon' happen, when them stores close
    And ain't gon open up, no more
    Yeah that's the realest ?
    You gon' feel dat, hungers yo' enemy
    But you can't ? dat!
    ? wake up, don't join the army
    ? your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis
    And they ain't even real, or are they?
    But you ain't even know, because you partay
    Too ? much, if you start to doubt
    They already in yo mind, and comin' out yo mouth
    Its not a trick, ? , it's a trap
    Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at
    And ? ain't fit, fat as hell!
    Fat in mind, body fat, as well
    Who use most the drugs? Americans!
    Whats in Afghanistan? heroin!
    You think thats by mistake? They can't stop dat?
    Don't think you safe though, because you not black
    Greed is colorblind, so I'm colorblind
    They gon' ? with yours soon as they done with mine
    They say I try to hard, verses overwhelm
    I learned most of this, from ? sittin' in jail
    Where you think I'm from? I'm from the streets ? !
    Triple OG's told me to teach ? !
    And that ain't made up, nope! Thats a fact
    They say that gangsta ? , is the ? I rap
    Look who I attract, look at my inner circle
    Bunch of street ? , and a couple Erkles
    Look at my fanbase! Oh yess!
    ? what Pro say! Look at this protest!
    Where they do that at? Who they do that for?
    Must mean I'm doin' bad, and things is movin' slow
    We talkin' revolution on public radio!
    Then catch me down in Houston, sittin on them 84's
    Trae wassup, ABN, gotcha back ? , sink or swim
    Free Chilly Chill, shake off yo' mastas
    Pray to ? ; Build yo mind faster

    . .



    Lupe flipped a song by Rick Ross about moving weight and turned it into an inspirational song (Building Minds Faster)



    And he repped my home country on there too! He's a GOAT for that..


    Yeah he said "? MLK" on that KRIT song (which I wasn't even offended by) but put it in context. Maybe he meant '? MLK's methods of being accepted as a Black man in America..' especially with the recent unlawful killings of Black males by law enforcement agents






    And for y'all Lupe haters and those that passively misunderstand him.. he made a song for y'all called 'Dumb It Down'

    Nobody in this thread "misunderstood" Lupe.

    So why is it 4 pages deep (and obviously counting)?

    Because the Lupe fans in here thinks that everybody should automatically know that the line was from a song, and that the people on Twitter that misunderstood the line were wrong. And if you didn't hear the song then you should automatically know that Lupe didn't mean it literally and if you weren't sure then you should've did your googles.

    Yeah article is shown different but if you're Twitter and you see his timeline its oretty obvious that those tweets are lyrics

    Considering the backlash it clearly wasn't obvious to everybody.

    he means well but it just backfires on him like somebody else posted he needs to go back to making music and stay off social media. matter of fact all entertainers and athletes need to do the same and stay in their lane. nobody want their input or opinions. ol' find ja rule ass ? .

    Lupe had such potential, such direction.
    He could have been Top 10 Ever..
    Nowadays he's just annoying.
    I wonder what made him lose his way..

    i dont understand how people say dude is annoying, especially if you aint following him on twitter.


    is it his opinions that makes him annoying?

    'Hey, Im here to save you, and like i BEEN talkin about this, so if you dont accept me ngga you lost'-Lupe in a nutshell

    Imo it's more telling if a ngga AINT annoyed/offended by this ngga.

    I ? with Lupe, dude can spit and he's creative with his music. Imo if his opinions bothers you then you probably never really liked him and are using it as excuses to bash him.

    you think that he feels like hes here to save us?

    the ? already said he cant save nobody and aint a song he can make gonna be the solution to anything.

    you have to almost seek out what hes saying or doing in order to be annoyed by dude. it aint like he's on your radio 24/7 or in your face on tv everyday.

    so its kind of more telling on your part, breh.

    mm, not really. When he speaks and it makes public news, like now, i say he's annoying based purely on what he says. When he speaks otherwise (like he has for the past 5, 6 years 97% off my radar) i could care less.

    Its no different than if Charles Barkley said some ignorant ? and you stated your opinion on it. No one would say 'Aww man you just hate Charles Barkley'.

    What makes it different here is he is a rapper, this is the reason, and yall have a sort of 'never go against the underdog' mentality. Weird to me, but oh well

    but thats not even how it happened.

    he literally tweeted his verse from the krit song line for line...starting with the first line in the song.


    he "should" do whatever he wants considering its his twitter. who gives a ? what or how he says something?


    cmon man clearly you're standing up for your fellow artists' rights and artistic expression.

    He has the right to do whatever the ? he wants, and as an audience we have the right to react however we see fit.

    And based on his actions, quite a few of us have come to the conclusion he is a ? . Simple
