The Baltimore Sun recently caught up with Lupe. Here's an excerpt from their conversation:
The 31-year-old Chicago rapper thought he was initiating a healthy conversation, but some felt the rapper's tone was self-righteous to the point of sabotage. ("Lupe Fiasco mansplains misogyny on counterproductive" single, read Spin Magazine's headline.) More than a year later, Fiasco, who headlines Rams Head Live on Sunday, says he wishes he had never written the song in the first place.
"The people who hated it were the people you would think would be the ones that would, if not champion it, at least show you some respect for it," Fiasco said on the phone last week from his tour bus. "I think that's the Lupe curse. No matter what I do, I'm always going to get beat up for it."

I realize how much people are bashing on him for "Bitch Bad" and calling him a hypocrite and such...
ReplyDeleteYou know...
Even if he himself regrets writing this song...
Remember that a lot of people appreciate this song as well. :)
Rachet Bad
ReplyDeleteEveryone gets the same thing from other ppl but it doesn't stop them they move on. Look at immortal tech twitter and how he deals with criticism. Y is lupe so sensitive to criticism and why if anyone try to ask y lupe does this or that they r considered haters
ReplyDeleteTrue... Yes y r we haters when we disagree?? Or the other comment I love, "Lupe is Just Over Your Head"
DeleteWho hated it? Who didn't respect it?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of people that loved what Lu was saying in this song. Some of the most ratchet people I know loved this song and understood his message. The problem with Lu imo is that he focuses on the negative on things sometimes. I mean for goodness sake rappers wish they had fans that would picket a record label for an album to be released. Focus on the Love Lu. I guarantee you that there are more love out there for Lu than hate....I am not going to lie though. I was upset that he canceled a show that I was suppose to go to but I will always have love Lu.
