Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Saigon maybe but Lu cooked himself not to mention Wale, Cole, and Kendrick making him an afterthought.

Those were old days when labels were just focused on No. 1 records.

There's way too many examples of artists in the present day finding ways around having to make music the label wants

The label was trying to force Lupe to keep doing the pop records. He passed...and BOB took the exact records.

I heard about this but never heard the actual song. :lol

Lupe was in a good spot. He got real fake deep, smart dumb on _'s. Now he just sound real bitter about Kendrick becoming what he shoulda been.

Lupe became OD pretentious at one point. Then like you said...a lil bitter. And the struggle with the label and all that lost him some valuable years. Classic case of business vs art again and creative control.

Here’s another ready made song with a pop singer on the hook that Lupe didn’t want to do, so they gave it to BOB.



 
That's not being dusty. He's wearing a jersey and pants :lol:

His whole look is def dusty and it’s part of a troll/image. Like, the ****** intentionally rocking bootcut white stitched trues and a Cavs Jersey on some ironic ****.



Bummy b, west coast *****s be bummy as hell. Cavs jersey with a Gucci hat :sick:. Cali *****s got 0 sauce.

:lol

I’m talking about the fans as well bruh :lol:

Some of the most creative artists can’t sell for **** cause what they doing not palatable for the masses. Majority of ppl like simple listening, catchy, borderline generic ****. It’s why they loving Gunna right now

If Vince Staples got all the way banged out and made simple **** w typical LA beats he would move more units than prime YG. His last went way over heads, had white ppl in his mentions telling him to stop rapping over white ppl beats :lol: :smh:

Question. So why was Lupe making these songs if he didnt want to push them? I guess Im just a lil lost here.

Seem like he thought he had the situation figured out :lol: , he would get on these type songs but still try and get unnecessarily lyrical on it to please himself and the label, idk what happened after that

That’s what took Tetsuo and Youth so long to drop tho. They gave him a another batch of songs he didn’t wanna do and then they ended up not being able to even clear those tracks so they just permanently put him on the bench until ******* internet hackers threatened them :lol: :smh:

It was right after that huge Sony leak so they just said **** it and gave him a date and he was out of his contract lol. I think he paid for most of that joint himself

You ****** gotta stop throwing in Northern California with Los Angeles when you diss the west coast.

We never rocked Cortez, Chucks, house shoes, khaki’s, bandanas or tube socks or any of that trash ****.

West coast does not equal Los Angeles only. We are not the same. Period.
