[NEW] Lupe Fiasco-Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)

[Long Live The Kane]

Not liking as much as I thought I would...I'll see if it grows on me

I kinda feel where pete is coming from...but it's kinda funny/ironic that a hip hop producer would be so pissed with them sampling one of their songs

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

fake outrage pete

 

[JoelB]

It's aight but a song like Troy should be left alone

/Thread

1. Why remake a song u know u can't match in quality? For mixtape track I'd understand, but your lead single? FAIL

2. I also feel like this is a desperate attempt to get heads back on his side after going that europop route.

 

[Since '86]

Hopefully a bunch of young kids will go back and listen to the original.

 

[Pool_Shark]

Im just glad old Lu is back. This is good but obviously will never be as good as TROY.

Those kids think Lupe is paying homage to a videogame track. They not going to go back and listen to C.L Smooth.

Pete Rock is that dude. Lupe is that dudue.......but EXACTLY, how someone that samples a song to CREATE A SONG get upset when someone uses his work and and samples it......



Overall,, the song is kinda flat really...its just the the TROY production is so lively.....but I agree, I hope the album has this feel though....

 

[FreshFromATL]

Dope!

Re-purposing a sound another artists created into something completely different, with it's own musical qualities (tempo,melody,whatever) isn't comparable to this...this is lupe rapping over t.r.o.y.


I see what you're saying but I don't think they're similar enough to warrant irony

 

[Da Jungles]

I can't rock with Pete on this one....

Don't ask

I think lupe is a great artist, I'm that angry with him but it's a major label idea. I can feel it.
