Lupe Fiasco Calls Pres. Obama A Child Killer

[No1]

That's why he is the best out right now, he is telling shyt like it is and people hate it.

You gotta be down with one of the 2 gangs or else everyone hates you.

The same shyt he'd go in on Bush for, he's going in on Obama for. And it's funny that he gets criticized for that.

I respect him much more than guys like Common who immediately switched their stance when Obama got in. Same with Jay, hip-hop used to be fighting the system, now ti's asking for crumbs off the man's table.

Is this really what HL is going to become? A bunch of people posturing and using outdated platitudes without giving any actual analysis. I present the same thing to you that I present to Lupe, what do you consider to be the alternative and what is the context in which these things are occurring. What people like you, Lupe and those who are endorsing his line of thought fail to realize is that you're as bad as the politicians you criticize. You present half-sided portraits of an issue and respond in generalities, but fail to delve into the minutia of the issues because it requires more than a 5 minute soundbite, crowd pleasing response or in this case, a dappable post.

That's why instead of effecting any real change, your voices get lost in the sea of complainers. The guys like Obama that you complain about so much have one thing on you--they do something. Lupe's not remotely politically active. What tune did Common and Jay change specifically?

Its easy to be a c00n and make comments like this when the only decision you have to make is what to eat today. Obama is the leader of the free world and neither Lupe or any other idiot is privy to security briefs and know nothing of warfare or any other policy for that matter

i cannot believe this post got dapped so many times... smmfh

He's also forgets to mention, how complex the issue of secrecy and war are. Heck, the foriegn policy in this country is sohh complex, I don't think anyone truly understands how it works.

OK then let me pose a question? How would you govern, if we are just pawns in a shadow government, how do we change it? How do we handle this issue in Afghanistan? How do we lower gas prices, can we? Everyone is sitting back in their armchairs co-signing the opinion of someone who does nothing meaningful in a political arena. Why doesn't Lupe run for office if he has so many awesome ideas. Why doesn't he pose an alternative to Obama's actions if he finds them so deplorable. How about instead of saying all these hotwords and making incendiary comment, why doesn't he pose a solution?

See this is the problem I have with hardcore liberals, and I don't mean that in the sense of him being a Democrat, but he has this holier than thou attitude with no real solutions. But maybe that's the point. He is just another complainer who has no input into the political process that we have, why doesn't he leave America and live in Switzerland or better yet, run for office. This is why I respect guys like Immortal Technique and Rhymefest way more than Lupe, they not only put their money where their mouth is, they are willing to do more than be an armchair liberal, they put their ideas out them and make themselves open to criticism and debate. Rhymefest actually went overseas to defend his views on hip hop and their lyrics. That I absolutely respect not this attention whoring putz desperate to gain back the audience he alienated with his last album.

So since he voiced his concerns w/ the way his country is ran, that means he should leave? If that's the case, let's quit our job, because our bosses denied to give us a raise.

You made some valid points, and I see where you saying. I'm not gonna debate on your stance, I'mma respect it, and leave it at that.

have you pursued a dialogue with lupe fiasco about potential solutions?

and i still cant believe you people are defending the US military industrial complex just because its a naga running it... it's still the same beast, just with a different head

at the end of the day everything lupe said in that opening post is 100% correct and 100% truth... and if nikkaz cant get obamas dikk out they mouth long enough to see the reality for what it is then guess what, the target is on yo head next

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

he's always been a diva

Speaking truth to power = being a diva?

Wow. I guess Public Enemy were divas too

 

[yaaa_mad]

He needs to STFU and stick to rap. Interviewers probably love this guy and at this point purposely ask something political to see what kind of fukkery comes out of his mouth. There is a better way of getting his point across other than calling our commander-in-chief a child killer.
