“I respect hip-hop and i dont know one word of Midnight Marauders and truthfully dont have the interest to go and find out…”
Ol’ bum ass nigga.
The homie Miss Info talked to Q-Tip and he said this:
“I’m not trying to make this any bigger than it is. But, I just want to clear up one thing:
We never hunted him down and begged him to be a part of the show or anything like that. His name was pitched to us by VH1, and we said, ok cool. The only time I spoke to Lupe about the Hip Hop honors performance was on a conference call, which we did with the others artists too, like Busta and Common, to plan the performance.
When VH1 brought his name up, based on what he had said about us before, I thought it was ironic and it kind of humored me. All that stuff he said about never listening to a Tribe album before and having no interest in doing so, it doesn’t make sense to me.
As I said on the show itself, it was listening to NWA’s Straight Outta Compton that inspired us to make Low-End Theory, and years later, I spoke to Dr. Dre and he told me that hearing Low-End Theory, inspired him to make The Chronic. That’s what music does. That’s what artists do, they seek out information, of all kinds.
But no, I never hunted him down to be part of the tribute. That didn’t happen.”
Lupe Lost.
stupid skater fag!
Plain ignorance.
Its one thing to have never heard “Midnight”, which is damn near sacrilege to begin with, but I could deal with it.
I could even accept, “I’ve heard it, but didn’t like it”…but to say he has no interest in hearing it?? Nigga, if it wasnt for “Midnight”, YOUR album wouldn’t sound the way IT does. And “Food and Liquor” was good, but not great by any means.
Plain ignorance.
my new nickname for Lupe Fiasco:
Dou-che Fiasco
I’m completely shocked. If he did say this then the only thing I can say is shame on him. I don’t know why he would say something so utterly STUPID. I’m a big fan of his, Food & Liquor is a masterpiece, but I’m going to think of him in a whole new light if this is actually what he said. He’s a youngin’ who would not even be in the mind of hip hop fans had it not been for ATCQ and what they did before he could even stand up and walk. This is exactly the type of disrespect that pisses me off. How dare he? He claims his guilty pleasure was listening to Too Short, why not Tribe? It wouldn’t have been a guilty pleasure had he listened. Not only should he listen, study and emmulate Midnight Maruders, he need to do likewise with Low End Theory, Beats, Rhymes and Life, and everything else they put out. Big Dummy!! Fans are fickle, he won’t get the same kind of success Food & Liquor got with his new one. The release date was
already pushed back to December.
LUPE’S THE MAN.TRIBE’S THE SHIT.NONE OF THIS STOPS ME FROM LISTENING TO THE OTHERS MUSIC.FANS NEED TO STOP TAKING SHIT PERSONAL.THIS DOESN’T TAKE AWAY FROM LUPE BEING ILL.THAT’S HIS OPINION,THAT’S HIS BUSINESS.YA’LL GOTTA REMEMBER HE’S FROM CHICAGO AND HE’S YOUNG.IF YOU DON’T LIKE LUPE CAUSE OF WHAT HE SAID THEN YOU WEREN’T A FAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S DISSIN TRIBE ON WAX.STOP BEING SO SENSITIVE.BE A FAN OF MUSIC NOT POPULARITY.

Lupe’s song with Gemini – We On?
that song is dope as hell.
Lupe aight he just like that gangsta hardcore rap dats all he jus need to show a lil respect for the ones dat started dis hip hop ish.
We all need to calm down. I like ATCQ and Lupe and just because he didnt listen to an album doesnt make him less of an mc. all you that say he’s ignorant probably are missing in listening to a couple of classic albums yourself’s, we are all guilty of it. the way his statement is written sounds real bad but maybe it’s not what he ment i mean shit we weren’t inside his head. he had a great debut album that’s why he was nominated for 3 grammy’s while rapping about something different ( LIKE ATCQ) so please dont judge you’re not jesus
