You heard that right and he bashed Obama at his own pre-inauguration celebration.


This was not a "pre-inauguration celebration" event.

Not every event happening in DC this past weekend was a "pre-inauguration" event.

Lupe Fiasco is well known to be anti-Obama, this is really only news to people who don't already know this.

and yet rap has been around for 30 years, and is still the same old crap.....well, most of it
1...young black guy, posing like he's tough and bad
2...telling how life sucks, all the while living large
3...shows off garish, over the top bling
4...treating women as if he was their pimp, and acting so smooth while doing it
5...always talking like no one else but him, really knows about life.


This is extremely wrong, It's funny people here are so against the media's story on just about everything, but you accept what they have told you about hip hop. The media told you hip hop is all those things, the media only reports on those parts of hip hop. Those messages are the ones they sensationalize and make stories out of because it's easy. I've been listening to hip hop for almost 30 years non stop, maybe 20% of my massive collection could fit into what you just said, and that includes all the albums I brought during the gangster rap era which started dying around the time pac and biggie died.

Don't get me wrong there is plenty of what you describe out there, but it's extremely easy for me to avoid all of it because it's not "most" hip hop as you say. The same 20 artists they feed people on the radio is not most hip hop.

Most of my collection is like this

Lupe is okay but I prefer Akala



Lots of good rappers but most of them are dismissed by record labels. Lowkey was good before he retired. Immortal Technique is a big underground artist that is good

quite a number of these guys are left wing almost without exclusion though, so i'm not sure how much republican types would like their message

Well he is a rapper, so publicity is part of his job. And if he's pushing a great message, he needs the publicity. You say it like it's a bad thing...

Nitpicking this thread seems pointless. The overall message is the same. Lupe is fighting the good fight and standing up for truth. He deserves any and all public attention he gets.

Huh.. never heard of this guy. No doubt most will just chalk him up to be a "conspiracy theorist".. instead of someone who's trying to get people to question things. I could be wrong, but I doubt he'll make it far in the industry.


haha yeah Eminem wont make it far either.....oh...wait....

Who is Lupe Fiasco? Never heard of him. Probably needed the publicity. Oh, and by the way, I'm not an Obama supporter, before anyone starts in on me. I voted for Gary Johnson.
