Lupe Fiasco Goes On Twitter Rant Against "Uppity Black Ni--as,"

[88m3]

Hate this bytch nikka

 

[daze23]

I'm not a fan of his rapping either. I think the best word to describe how I feel about him is he's "condescending". also I feel like he wants you to have the face after every line. it comes off as kinda forced and unnatural

 

[Gifted one]

I like Lupe music but damn this nikka be feeling himself too much, every interview he is in he is always complaining and whining, and at times acts like he is above everyone

 

[Fillerguy]

lupe is a fakkit, and if youre a a fan you're probably on some fukkboy immortal technique/alex jones dumbass conspiracy shyt

so like 60% of HL

i still like him

A lot of us agree with him on the issues involving our politicians and policies What we don't cosign is "fukk it, I'm not going to vote or participate in change, I'm a nobody" mentality that is EXACTLY what the people he rails against wants.

There are plenty of local, state issues that are VERY important. There are plenty of independent candidates who need a push to get us into the next step.

Also, he falsely attributed a stance to Dr. King which was the OPPOSITE of what Dr. King believed and stood for.

It doesn't matter who's in office(from local government to the pres), the thing that will change peoples lives for the better is themselves. That's a fact.

What we don't cosign is "fukk it, I'm not going to vote or participate in change, I'm a nobody" mentality that is EXACTLY what the people he rails against wants.

where does Lupe state anywhere that he's a nobody or seem like he's a nobody. He clearly gave his reasons for not voting. Every black person in America voted for obama and shyt ain't changed son. That's what the devil wants? A free thinking mind that observes the facts and then makes his/her decision afterwards? I beg to differ.

 

[SAJ!!]

Biggest crybaby in rap. All this guy does is bytch and complain about everyone else and make excuses for himself when he fukks up.

This nikka Lupe.................

Dude is slowly becoming the Hip-Hop version of Matt Hardy.

1. MLK never told people not to vote. He was an active voter himself.

2. No one ever said voting was the only, or even the main way of leading people out of subjugation.

3. What wounds does Lupe have to heal from? He was never a slave. And furthermore, does he really think he can just sit around and "heal" and then join in or start some kind of struggle? The struggle been around for a long time, and you can't be neutral on a moving train- either you do something about it or the bad shyt will keep happening. Healing is both part of fixing the problem and what can only truly be complete after the problems are dealt with. You can't pretend to unplug yourself like that because that's not how it works.

4. If the US did what it did in the name of God instead of corporate profit, would it really be better?


In short, this is just another smart-dumb, ignorant dude who needs to sit down and actually think his beliefs out.

1. He never said MLK Jr didn't vote. He said MLK Jr would be ashamed because the majority of the people(this thread included) look up to voting like it's some do or die shyt, and by voting our problems are solved and shouldn't focus on the main problem with black people, which is the love of self.

2. Looking at this thread, it looks like the opposite

3. OBVIOUSLY wasn't meant to be taken literally . I mean really it was...He's talking about getting the mentality of his brothers and sisters fixed first, THEN if we want, concern ourselves with voting.

4. Any people or government in the name of god strives or does according to what god wants. The US claims to be "One nation under god", but we know that's bs, so the reality is that in the foreseeable future, the US government ain't changing regardless.

In short, know it not, people who THINK they're free, are not really free from the mental slavery of the devil. Some are in this thread, dissing the brother Lupe for speaking not only his mind, but real shyt. The devil doesn't like that and gets his slaves to attack the righteous person, just like they did Jesus! Ain't that something?

Wake up people!

Peace!

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Not commenting on all that uppity shyt obviously but other than that he's right about voting. fukk that. Fool me once and never again....unless a real third party emerges to upset the current monopoly. Won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen though.

 

[5n0man]

he's wrong somewhat about voting, but everything else he said was true, if you black in america, your not free. Matter fact let's just say if you arnt white in America then you not free

And also, how is Lupe a arm chair revolutionist?
All his music lately is political. He's doing something to get the message out there

You must have missed his The Ballot or the Bullet speech or his later writings.

Again, you and other Muslims spent an entire thread justifying slavery.

Malcolm was extremely flawed in many aspects of even though he's one of my favorite historical people. But it's in my opinion that some of his words and actions were divisive. Dr. King on the other hand was a visionary.

don't skirt.

by your own logic, most of Malcolm X's writings should be rendered invalid since he "promotes a religion that condones slavery and is responsible for most of the African slave trade".

and I never "justified" slavery, I said the differences between a slave and a sweatshop worker are illusory and unlike an exploitative sweatshop owner, a slave owner has an incentive to feed, house and provide health care to his slaves.

I'm sorry you still have a hard time comprehending that very basic point. I could try rehashing my argument in simpler terms if you wish.

 

[Hip-Hop-Bulls]

He complains about everything, obama doesn't end the wars in afghanistan, obama is not taking care of the palistinians, obama is not doing anything about black on black crime in chicago and then says he is not voting.

Well Lupe if you are not voting fine, but I don't want to hear your whiny ass complaining about every goddamn political issue when you don't participate in politics.

So now we need to be in or participate in politics in order to speak our views on politics?

 

[Mr. Somebody]

His explanation for lamborghini angels was sad.

 

[Jesus]

Smart dumbest nikka ever.

Learned from the best...NAS.

 

[Jesus]

Lupe is what you would call a pseudo-intellectual.

He sounds smart to dumb people (who are on the same level as him), but smart people can see he's really just another idiot.

O RLY? ....duh, nikka.

 

[Jesus]

People who argue against voting often seem to have this implicit statement that somehow things were once more wholesome and we got to a point where it's all hopeless and the system is rigged.

When was voting ever not about the lesser of two evils? Not just in America but everywhere. If power and institutions inevitably corrupt to some degree, that I think we can all agree on, then we will always be voting for the lesser of two (or 3 or 4, etc.) evils.

Were blacks who voted for JFK and Lyndon Johnson voting for benevolent, near-perfect Presidents who always had their best interest in mind in every situation, were not corrupt, and didn't barter with evil? fukk no. They did it because they felt it was better for their situation to vote for them.

This new age smart dumb nikka philosophy of not voting reeks of brattiness, bytchmade emotion, and lack of historical perspective. I'll probably have a lot more to say about this on the next podcast than I will in this thread though.

Link me on this....I'd love to hear your thought...very similar to mine. It's a new fad these days for these quazi-Malcolm X nikkas talking about voting is pointless.
