ReplyDeleteSucks to live in the uk.
ReplyDelete"It’s true that Lupe Fiasco’s representative from Atlantic Records contacted me last fall and he did so while I was in mourning over the sudden death of my cousin Heavy D. I gave the representative a conditional “yes” to use T.R.O.Y. for Lupe’s album but only based on the condition that I be involved on the project. It’s what I always say when approached by people who want to use that particular song. I was never contacted again. At no point was there any follow up from Atlantic Records. Now, the story gets twisted and it’s being said that I said “yes.” The part about my conditions has been left out to make me seem like I’m a hypocrite. When I heard about the song again, it was done, completed, and playing on the radio…and that was Monday night."
ReplyDeleteWOW IF THAT'S TRUE AND I'M SURE IT IS LUPE IS A REAL BITCH HE DIDN'T EVEN CONTACT HIM HIMSELF WHAT A WEAK MOVE AND THEN THEY NEVER GOT PETE TO BE INVOLVED YET HE PHONES UP THE RADIO STATION LIKE A LIL CRYING BITCH THIS IS REAL SAD.
LU OBVIOUSLY HAS AN OVERBLOWN EGO WITH LITTLE RESPECT AND TO THEN CALL OUT A LEGEND LIKE HE DID TO THE WORLD ON AIR HAS REALLY DAMAGED HIS REP.
OBVIOUSLY IT WAS IN HEAT OF MOMENT BUT STILL THEY SHOULD OF SPOKEN MAN TO MAN.
I KNOW PETE TWEETED FIRST TO WHICH IS SAD BUT IF THE ABOVE IS THE TRUTH HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE PISSED WITH LU.
HOPEFULLY HE CAN APOLOGISE PUT THIS BEHIND HIM AND JUST LET HIS MUSIC DO THE TALKIN IN FUTURE THIS WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE ON HIS PART.
I STILL LOVE LU BUT THIS WAS REAL DUMB
