Even Bill O'Reilly knows @LupeFiasco is a FOOL! i know a lot of yall rock wit this clown, #IDONTGETIT
Let's b clear. I am the biggest conspiracy theorist I kno. I hav always been distrustful of the gov't. I am far from a flag waver
...But if u ppl don't recognize the 'ima say something controversial to boost record sales' ploy, yall r as lost as @LupeFiasco smarten up
Spotted @ All Hip Hop
UPDATE - Lupe responds:
Shout to @mastaace the solution is never one-sided. A critique of my statement is in itself a critique of the issue at hand. And informed and progressive critiques of ourselves, each other and our society is what is needed in these times.
Such an ignorant person, "I have been a conspiracy theorist, but I don't agree with Lupe" & "He is doing it for record sales", If he listened to Lupe he would have known that Lupe has been anti-government since The cool. He is just being stupid by calling someone else stupid. He might be right about obama not being a terrorist bc clearly there is another root making America seem as a terrorist, but he has to know that Lupe can't talk about everything. There are secrets that better not be exposed and if lupe has a big mouth they will expose him as crazy or throw him in jail or smth.
ReplyDeleteMasta Ace needs to sit down. what a fucking hypocrite, clearly he is taking this opportunity to finally have his name mentioned in the media after sooo many years. You may be a legend Masta Ace but how many people under the age of 30 listen to what you have to say or even know who you are?
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for lupe to ether this washed up nigga on twitter.
ReplyDelete^seriously everything lupe says they praise! His statement was dumb! I still like his music though.
ReplyDelete^^Masta Ace?
ReplyDeleteIf you actually understand what Lupe means then you'll see his statement isn't crazy. Just seeing it as "Obama is a terrorist", and nothing else, makes it seem crazy. The interviews that he did with Rev Run really clear it up and what Lupe says makes sense. The dumb ones are the people who just dismiss it and don't even bother to try and understand what he means.
ReplyDeleteHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAQ!!!! @GregHall realist comment ever!
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is Masta Ace?
ReplyDeleteMasta Ace? Does he rap?
ReplyDelete^^I hope those are jokes lol
ReplyDeleteMasta Ace is sounding really ignorant right now. Lupe has always spoken out against the government. This is not the first time he has said something against the government. Just because he associates the word "terrorist" with some thing American it get blown up. Whether he's right or wrong is up fro you to decide, but he obviously didn't do it to boost record sales as he as always said controversial things before. If anything it seems like Masta Ace said this to "boost" his own status.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this such a big issue, lupe fan or not everyone should know america are the biggest terrorists
ReplyDeleteDropping 2 nuclears on japan is enough to earn them that let alone vietnam, cuba, afghanastan and iraq
I don't get why people are so outraged by Lupe calling Obama a terrorist.
ReplyDeleteDuring the time Bush was president Eminem had a song called "As We Americans". In the song he said "Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see the president dead".
The most common rebuttal I see on the internet, including from Masta Ace on his Twitter, is "Why would Lupe say that about the first BLACK president?" What does Obamas race have to do with anything? There are good people and bad people from every ethnicity, so their skin color can never show true intentions.
ReplyDeleteNevermind the fact that since the war started, we've killed like 300 times more innoncent civilians "by mistake" than Al-Qaeda did on purpose. Nevermind the fact that right now, we have 3 times as many troops in Afghanistan than the day Obama took office. Lets just pretend lives arent at stake every single day this war continues. Lets just pretend Obama didnt run his entire campaign on anti-war and non-aggresive solutions, but then turned around and perpetuated the 2 wars we were already in while engaging in military action wit 3 more countries.
How about the fact that Lupe called Bush a American imperialist war monger whos entire administration should be taken to trial for war crimes? Nope, Obamas the 1st black prez so obviously Lupes trying to take the presidential possibilties from the dreams of every black kid in America by pointing out that Obama is just like every other politician..smh
Call me a Lupe dickrider all you want, but before I knew that I was American, I was a baby who knew I needed 2 things: nutrition and affection, just like every other human being on earth. If we let borders and difference of lifestyles help us forget that, then maybe we deserve to be in this shithole we call humanity..
Boost record sales? Most musicians don't even get money from record sales though. They get revenue from concerts.
ReplyDeletedidn't even realise Masta Ace still existed...
ReplyDeletePlease tell me yall are kidding when youre asking who Masta Ace is. That said, who cares if he doesnt agree with Lupe. Both are good artists, nothing saying they have to get along or see eye to eye.
ReplyDeletelol @ Masta Ace mentioning conspiracy theories. People don't understand what Lupe was saying. It doesn't have to be conspiratorial. He's not saying "Oooh Obama is evil and working with The Illuminati is enslaving us all". No. Lupe was speaking on the root of the problem. It's the entire socioeconomic system that's fucked up. And Obama, as president of one of the most affluent nations in the world, represents that. He has to. It's what his job calls for. Is he a bad person? Not necessarily. He may be doing what he thinks is right with the best of intentions. Now, can he be a good person and STILL be a "terrorist" as Lupe says? Yes. Why is it that there is a HUGE and still growing anti-American sentiment in the world? Hmmm... no, we couldn't be doing anything wrong. They're just salty for no reason. People need to wake up. I can buy that foreign terrorists destroyed the twin towers. Now the question is, what provoked them? International American corporate austerity measures bankrupting the rest of the world maybe? Hmm...
ReplyDeleteNewton's third law of motion: for every force there is an equal or opposing force. People don't just do things for no reason. The question should not be "OH THEY ATTACKED US, HOW SHOULD WE GET BACK AT THEM?" The question should be "WHAT DID WE DO TO MAKE THEM HATE US THAT MUCH?" And that is what Lupe was referring to.
I respect Masta Ace. Hell, I still bump Slaughtahouse. He's a raw ass lyricist. But he is closed minded and short sighted in this regard. QUOTE ME ON THIS: Lupe is the most conscious, honest and politically-aware rapper in all of Hip-Hop. Dude knows what's going on. It's no publicity stunt. People are just too ignorant to catch on.
^^^probably because you call them niggers but thats a different convo entirely.
ReplyDeletefact: lupe has been critical of obama since before he announced he was running for president and lupe has been critical of politics since before food and liquor was recorded. fact: masta ace didnt care about what lupe said until he was seen on the most popular cable news show.
looks to me like masta ace is the one who is thirsty for attention.
hahaha.. what a cheeky boy
ReplyDeleteMasta Who?
ReplyDeleteto the anon with the uppercase comment:
ReplyDeleteever heard of people changing their perception about someone as time changes? lupe observed what obama has done, and guess what, he changed his mind. he's not the only one, matt damon, jon stewart changed their about obama too, claiming obama has not reach their expectations.
even if lupe is a hypocrite,arent all of us hypocrite too in our own ways? nobody perfect! lupe's human too. the real hypocrite is one who doesnt have the guts to admit that he is.
anyone that has read or listened to howard zinn. knows why lupe said what he said about obama. as a country the US has stepped on any weak nation that we have had to step on.
ReplyDeleteim a 30 year old mexican american. the next time masta ace says something would be the first time i give a f..u .c k
Matt Damon and Jon Stewart didn't feel the need to call Obama a terrorist either. If Lupe hates America, then by all means, LEAVE!
ReplyDeletethe dude is right.
ReplyDeleteLupe doesn't hate America. He just hate the foreign policies of the US government and the fact thousands of innocent lives were killed because of it. By all means, anon, u need to get ur facts right. Doesn't mean ur political comments are anti- establishment that u have to leave America! Btw,I like how Lupe replied to masta ace, it's polite and professional.
ReplyDeletelol at all these people saying 'who is masta ace'
ReplyDeleteif you dont kno, he happenes to be a great rapper who has two classic albums and has influenced many MCs including Eminem.
Although I am a bigger fan of Lupe and I think matsa misinterpreted Lupe's comments (like alot of people seem to have done) but you still gotta respect one of the pioneers of hip-hop, even Lupe himself was probably influenced by him which is why he showed respect to him rather than dissing him.
Also masta went on to tweet that he has nothing against Lupe, he just disagreed with his pont.
Btw if you never heard of Masta Ace, you dont know shit about hip-hop...
lmao, all you people talking shit about Ace obviously haven't even attempted to learn anything about hip hop.
ReplyDeleteHe's one of the greatest and you guys should stop dick riding on Lupe and do some research on some of the greatest that have been in the game.
There's a reason us old cats don't like you little kids. You don't pay your dues and you don't show any respect to people who paved the way.
