Sean the Robot from Germany and founder of the LupEND Blog stated that, “[Lupe] is doing the same thing that 2pac did or what Nas and Common are doing- shedding light on issues in society that others don’t want to see or talk about.”When asked as to what is the significance of hip hop he replied, “hip hop is really all about the lyrics, it’s poetry and if people just use it to make a quick buck, then it really loses its purpose.”
Lupe commented that there is always this idea of material success and material excess. His music is not about making millions nor is it about selling the most albums, but rather about making a change in the world.
Sean the Robot ended the interview with, “As cheesy as it sounds, I want Lupe to be remembered as someone who tried to change the world with his music and who at least tried to make people’s lives better.”
This is my second tattoo. I got it February 24, two days after my 21st birthday. Ever since my first tattoo in 09, I've always wanted lyrics to a song.
Lupe is one of my favorites, so I figured why not. Besides I believe this line from Hurt Me Soul is beyond powerful!
