"I reached out to him a couple of days ago with some real serious ideas," Lupe said. " 'Let's put a program together. Something that works out and makes sense for the both of us.'
He's a very talented MC. One of the few MCs that I actually listen to what they're saying. I don't listen to 98 percent of the rappers out there. But he's one of the MCs I listen to and I'm inspired to do so. A collaboration is in the works."
Lupe also clarified the comments he made recently, when he said he did not want to be like Jay-Z...watch the video above to find out what he said.

Everybody thinks because you're black and you're from the 'hood, you wanna be Jay-Z. There's kids who wanna be astrophysicists and don't care about rap. That should be OK. You should be OK just being you, working your regular job and being happy. That's why I made that statement. I felt it need to be said."

yea...that was dope. black males aren't this monolithic mass that only wanna do one thing
ReplyDeleteI like artist (MCs) that step out of the box and do some inspirational things. I agree it shows that they are not tryin to do only one thing. Im a big fan of Jay Electra as well. I wouldn't mind gaining knowledge and wisdom from him........
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Lu cleared that up, very inspirational. Do your thing, and be happy...
