MSN Music UK caught up with Kreayshawn during her tour-run in London, and she said the following:
There are a lot of famous people in my phonebook but the most famous is probably Lupe Fiasco. We talk about current news and stuff like that. He’s really a political opinionated guy, so it’s nice to have somebody smart to talk to.
SWEAR I JUST LISTENED TO HER SONG, GUCCI GUCCI FOR THE FIRST TIME..IRONY
ReplyDeleteBefore the usual hate ensues, I'd like to take a guess at Lupe's connection w/ her. Whether or not he's just jumping bandwagons is uncertain. I think it's unlikely as the identity he puts out is always in support of a wide range of music and the dualities. Lately, he's been one to support specifically young, independent artists. Evident from Soulja, Lil B, Odd Future, etc.
ReplyDeleteThis new generation is where he was when he was spitting gangsta lyrics. He realizes they do have potential and motivation, they just need guidance or at least consciousness. He's not fresh cool young Lu. He's where Jay Z was when he told him "don't chase radio".
That's my justification to stay a fan of Lu until we find out someone ghost writes for him.
kreayshawn is dope! idk some about her thats dope. i normally dont listen to simple rhymes but that gucci gucci song was funny/dope. "bitch you aint no barbie, i see work at arby's number 2 supersize hurry up im starving" lmao
ReplyDeletethat anon #2 must took you long time to come up with that shitty theory of yours anyways moving on agree @ messi10 she is dope!
ReplyDeleteAt anon #4 I don't think it takes a long time when all you need to do is connect the dots.
ReplyDelete@anon 2 so if what you said is not the case, then you wouldn't want to be a Lupe fan any longer?
ReplyDelete@Sean, well I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't bump his music anymore. I can't knock the talent, but I'd be more inclined to turn a deaf ear if he comes out with a truly dumbed down song or feature in his support for some artists. Which at this point, I don't believe will happen because I recall him stating that if he does a song w/ Soulja boy or anyone, he expects them to step it up.
ReplyDelete@messi10, maybe because you smoke mad swisher blunts lol..
ReplyDeleteReally political opinionated =/= somebody smart. Not hating on Lu, just on her theory.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you guys care who he chills with? As long as he continues to do what he does best, and that's make music and express his thoughts. What Kreayshawn or any other artist does has nothing to do with him. You guys don't really know either of 'em...
ReplyDeleteThis is the thing with fans . . . they get WAY too invested. I'm not saying I am not a fan of Lu's (have been since '07), and not saying that when he expresses his thoughts on certain topics I take the time to listen/read . . . but, people, he's HUMAN. Humans change. Their mindsets change. He came up in the ghetto. He's living lavish now (don't get it twisted . . he is).
ReplyDeleteIt seems a lot of people forget the reason they became fans in the first place; The music. If you loved or hated L.a.s.e.r.s. is not the argument I want to bring up . . it's the material. The message have been largely the same; From A Rhymin' Ape to now. He's always rapped about politics, the ghetto, education, foreign countries and their strife, etc.
It's like fans feel "betrayed" or something when their favorite underground sensation becomes popularity. Everything he/she makes is now "poppy" . . . yes, L.a.s.e.r.s. had a distinctly poppy sound, but I let the powerful words override it all.
Anyway . . . Lu's still my favorite rapper no matter what because I BELIEVE no other is better than him lyrically. End of story. What he truly believes is something I will never know and, to be honest, is not any of my mother fuckin' business.
real talk i aint feelin dis ol amy winehouse lookin girl nahmean? real talk dat gucci gucci shit is sumn els..
ReplyDelete^^^^^^ what @Criggz said
ReplyDeleteFolks need to start taking the same approach that I take with Lu. Pay no attention to the dude until you hear a mixtape or album is about the to drop. All this hyping Lil B, Kreayshawn crap is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if your independent or on a major, your not helping the youth kicking the nonsense they spew. I just check in to find out FOTP or F&L2 is coming out not, more folk should follow suit.
"I don't care if your independent or on a major, your not helping the youth kicking the nonsense they spew. I just check in to find out FOTP or F&L2 is coming out not, more folk should follow suit."
ReplyDeleteo_0 Do You Even Look into Lupe's interviews? "KNow Cares about me Just My Music" - LupeFiasco
Don't really care if they talk to each other. As long as they're not on a track together, I'm good. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteYes exactly she promotes all of this negative stuff that he is against yet lupe is cool with her. WTF
ReplyDeleteTake what Lu says with a grain of salt. It's his opinion at the end of the day. What he says isn't Law. I swear people are so quick to hate.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, pay the man no mind until a mixtape date is on the horizon. I have no problem with him being friends with Kreay or Lil B, but don't try and tell us that we should like there music.
ReplyDeleteI want the man to get back to music, that's what he's good at. All the anarchy crap when folks are just trying to make it is retarded. Spending a entire day propping Lil B up for that dude to go right back to spitting BS is getting tiring. Give us a mixtape and shut up Lu.
These clowns make me glad I don't listen to the radio or watch TV.
ReplyDeleteLu probably meet her through Mistah Fab. Her Fabby had the same management back in the day.
ReplyDelete@datkid1220 yea lupe is right when he said Blu is the only mc he compares himself and hope his writing isnt better than his (lupe)..Yo honestly wow that nigga Blu just suprise the fuck outta me with every songs his ever made, no weak verses from him plain and simple..See lupe & jay elec are kinda alike but lupe got him beat cuz he's more of a complete rapper than jay elec, where he only trives one aspect of an mcing..but Blu (same as lupe complete rapper) and wow he hit you with smooth ass jazz any kinda funky beat and can either go poetry or murderous on you. its crazy good. its MAD CRIMINAL to all ya sleeping on that nigga BLU!!
ReplyDelete^ "he's the only MC where i gotta go back and make sure my rhymes are nicer" haha
ReplyDeleteanyway i really need to be schooled on Blu @messi10 any suggestions on what mixtapes/albums to listen to?
@ amouzou just get "Below The Heavens" >>>> insert any rap album from last 8yrs, seriously trully classic album from start to finish. mixtapes: herfavcolor, if you see the e drop em, soul amazing, and lots of released joints from god knows where.
ReplyDeletetracks:
The Roots-The Day
Below the heavens
soul amazing
seasons****
whatyouwanna ft blu
amnesia
the narrow path
im gonna need you
half a knot
go for the gusta room
"Yo, I'm tryin' to get this place that my grandpa told me bout as a child
Told me only few can make it and the faithless ain't allowed
Be a star out your gang & aim above the clouds
And if you miss, you at least be amongst your own crowd
I smile cause now I see what he meant
I see it in the eyes of mothers when they uncover their sins and repent
Getting closer to Jehovah on they old knees bent
Praying our mind frames switch and our times change quick
But I hate to say it brother, the youth is too stubborn
To stuck on themselves to ever think about others
They must uncover the scales, on they eyes called lies
Leadin' the deaf dumb and blind
To a place my mom told me bout (hell)
Where your sins get cleansed cause they bathe in flames
And the only route out, is to shout out his name
I was trained to be a soldier for god
But as soon as I used my own thoughts
I kinda got lost in a small called reality
Where hell is a falacy
And heaven is a fantasy created by man
So don't believe in it
You came here with nothing
And you leavin' with nothing
So retreat from this world of deceitfulness
My people it's time to rise
Realize it's a heaven whether you think it's inside
Or in the sky reach for it
Before it's gone internally
And you're stuck here below the heavens for eternity" - BLU
