Loopy Fiasco

lupe fiasco

“People give your ears so I be sublime / Erm, something something something something porcupine”

Oh Lupe, what have you done? First, you done fucked up a performance at the VH1 Hip-Hop history ‘throw the old guys a bone’ shindig: hey, it happens to all of us. But then you compound it by throwing your rattle out of your pram, beefing about how ‘Midnight Marauders’ isn’t on your radar anyway, then adding the calumny that MC Hammer had more influence on you. Dun, did you hit your head doing some Tony Hawks isht? They’re calling it ‘Fiascogate’ but, as we’re Brits, we’re rolling with the more punchy ‘The Lupe Fiasco fucked up some Tribe lyrics at a live concert and caught all manner of flak on the interwebs Affair’. But, Lupester, Fat Lace has got your back so, while Phonte and Q-Tip rub salt into your wounds, we make the case for the defence by pointing out a heap more things you don’t know about.

Other things Lupe Fiasco isn’t aware of:

1. Bread
2. OJ got off
3. Shergar is dead
4. Michael Jackson is white
5. Humpty Hump and Shock G are the same person
6. Eggs
7. Asparagus makes urine smell funny
8. The words to ‘Happy Birthday’
9. What a ‘bee’ is
10. Biggie got shot

Things Lupe Fiasco erroneously thinks are true:

1. OJ is innocent
2. Yellow M & M’s give you cancer
3. Girls like rappers who wear glasses
4. Skateboards are better than BMX’s
5. Pharrell and Kanye actually like him
6. ‘Saved By The Bell: The College Years’ is ‘realer’ than ‘The Wire”
7. If he drills a hole in the earth, he’ll come out in Australia
8. Mos Def is still good
9. Jarobi was the dopest rhymer in A Tribe Called Quest
10. Cross Colors still ‘got the fly wears’

Whilst we’re Loopy bashing (unfairly, but everyone else is doing it)….Anybody feeling generous? You may want to buy this for him to stick on his bedroom wall. He could put it up there right next to posters of other underwhelming albums like ‘De La Soul Is Dead’, ‘The Chronic’, ‘Paid In Full’, ‘Ready To Die’, ‘Illmatic’, ‘It Takes A Nation Of Millions’ and ‘Food & Liqor’.

    Someone should challenge him to recite the spice one lyrics he was apparently listening to instead of tribe.

    no! Shock G and Hump were never the same person???!!!! Crazy! Lupe don’t know jack. He doesn’t even know he was on a Rich Harrison beat on an R&B 12″ by Tha Rayne a few years back.

    Gonna offer a prize to anyone at Hip Hop Karaoke who can show Loopy how it’s done – wait for the YouTube footage.

    I ended up doing the whole of Scenario on my own at Hip-Hop Karaoke after my partner in crime had one too many shandies and ended up too drunk to even do the back ups…

    …And I still did it better than Lupe.

    Wasnt it red m&ms that people thought would give you cancer? (not that it was true anyway)

    I dont even think people would give a shit if he’d just fucked up the lyrics and forgot about it. He’s just dug himself a hole.

    I started thinking he was a dick a few months back when he was talking about quitting music because he still didnt feel like he was famous or something.

    There’s nothing quite like when rappers get pwned or pwn themselves on internet message boards. It’s what the ‘net was built for.

    I love how Lupe once said he only ever really listened to Too $hort growing up but now he was suddenly a fan of Spice1 and 8Ball & MJG too and, like, he used to freestyle over the “Banned” EP intro by UGK all the time – honest!

    I can’t really fathom why there was so much hype about him in the first place. I certainly didn’t believe it.

  12. Reply JimmyC October 12, 2007 06:51 am

    Its because he wears glasses and ‘skateboards’. Shit it totally original.

  13. Reply whut October 12, 2007 12:33 pm

    because he was on kayne wests LP and kick push had a semi decent beat (compared to most of the BS out there at the time).

    listen there is no way lupe deserves such a hard time for this shit. Lup is probably the future of hip-hop along with naledge of kidz in the hall. i understand he dug himself a hole which is stupid, but for the whole hip-hop honors thing he was unprepared. Lupe is a dope lyricist and people are making alot of something out of mothing. Tribe is great yes, and the fact that lupe is not a fan is a shame (considering his style and message he often portrays), but thats no reason to hate on him.

    p.s. yellow m&m’s ARE a silent killer lmao

    im pretty sure I is joking, and if hes not well dont worry about it

    i guess he just love sto dance and yell, or maybe yall are hating cos I got him some bathing apes

    this is not even up for debate, atcq and other legends have nothing to prove to someone who has released TWO singles, the second being comprised mostly of the same as the first one

    on another note the SOUTH is moving units, this is largely I believe because they cater to a party vibe and are very accessible to the public, therefore are seen as more REAL…my problem with the south is not that they arent making quality music which they are and have been for some time, its that almost every southern artist consistenyly dumbs down his lyrics for the general gritz eating no ged getting populace

    honestly we be bottle poppin, shes a very freaky girl and she get it fromher mama, i serve it all day like a coffee shop??????????????

    the dirty dirty represents straight ReTARDED uneDUCATED, DRUG dealing UGLY ASS CAR buying, bbq sauce dripping SIMPLISTIC RAPPERS ON BASS HEAVY CHILDISH BEATS

    even the so-called real southern MCS ie bun b and wayne got nuthin on the rest of the worlds rappers for real

    compare the class and oppulence of a biggie, nas, jay-z, diddy, dr dre, videos compared to these southern fried mockeries of ballin, europe and canada re putting out intelligent shit new york got the talent and the gangsta west west has all the swagger

    SOUTH IS STR8 GARBAGE but dont get me wrong i still crank dat haha

    Thank you mookiwilson. Nicely put. What’s up now “I”? Sure did shut your lips for a minute. Soulja Boy?? Really?? How old are you?? Like 16 or something? You need to crank dat back to a hip-hop 101 class for real homie. Wait! Isn’t this about Lupe? About that: Get over it people. Peace and Love to everyone supporting underground Hip-Hop and keeping Real Hip-Hop alive. Holla!

    ahhh haaa you have all figured me out, i’ve been fucking with you guys this whole time, im a hip-hop head and its kind of funny to see how pissed off other hip-hop heads get when you talk about shit like that, i was gonna write another soulja boy comment but i ran out of material lol. and cmon did you really think i was serious when i said that hip-hop is crankin that, lets be real now. Jesus i had you all going for a while…

    That post is further proof about why UK heads always fuck up hip-hop. Stop overanalyzing the music and get on with it. You’re still stuck in a time warp where Tribe are the most relevant group.

    But this is 2007. When’s the last time they put out a record?

    Like it or not, in the US, the south is running shit and if those smart dudes at Rawkus weren’t still mad b/c ALL of their big acts bounced on them, they’d want their own soula boy.

    Maybe if your artists weren’t busy trying to show the rough UK life (we don’t believe you) you may actually get some traction the states.

    btw, Lupe Fiasco is crazy wack for thinking that anyone buys into his skateboarding/streetwear lifestyle.

    Lupe is one of the smartest, best lyricist to grace hip hop in a while. All you dumb fucks could comment on is his opinions. Everyone is entitled to think what they want. You can’t say anything about his rhymes so you pull out some of context shit he once said and try to make him look bad. You British hater fucks, this just shows how little you know about real hip hop and true talent.
