been waiting lol

No one is going to say Lupe is defending Ye for saying some common f***ing sense to me.

what did he say

tbh feel every word.. Ye f***ed up and he know he f***ed up but he don't care.
so why should we?
at the end of the day take what you need from that artist and let go of the s*** you don't cause his life don't got s*** to do with mine

Exactly Ye doesn't give a f*** and so many are like "hahah look he a billionaire he going to crazy he manic omg he going to kill himself omg he doesnt care ITS OVER". Nah this Nigga really doesn't care

He forces you to see your contradictions and hypocracies

How many posts will he make on the first page? I’m placing the over/under at 10

I am a much bigger fan of Lupe than Ye. I only joined this site because of lupend blog

Real

always peeped my interest but never joined. Lupe one of my favorite artist though

At this point, me too.

Pre-Kim Ye will always be my favorite artist oat, but I can't get jiggy with this Aardvark of a human being anymore.

Lupe's been on some GOAT s*** since "T&Y".

Love what he's been doing.

I worked for Lupe too here in Chicago. Lupe addressed a lot of what Ye is talking about with record execs without focusing it on jewish people here. Especially when addressing Drill.

"Kanye has no effect on anybody in this room"

BEEN SAYING.

oh s***, that's dope.

“He’s a character that brings out the enigma of the human condition.”

I wonder what Ja Rule thinks about this

Lupe my goat

Damn Lupe really missed the mark on this one

Lol. That’s a complete strawman. Nobody is saying he has an effect on THAT room, we’re saying he has an effect on radicalized groups that are going to feel emboldened by his rhetoric.

Relistening to Drill Music in Zion a lot towards end of the year. I mean Lupe basically created a whole album on the situation Ye is speaking on. The conflicts people face in the industry. I learned a lot by working with his foundation. We helped create gun violence awareness day. Did awareness change the issue? Not necessarily no but at least locally there began to be the youth organizing solutions outside of violence . Its not defending Ye to say we all have bigger problems going on in our reality. There are white supremacist in black lives matter shirts is potent . Those that want to act like the sky is falling or post every article, post every bad tweet, s*** some users here have gone on 4chan and are like "look they are being antisemitic on 4chan and are mentioning ye". At what point do we focus

Did you miss the point of what Lupe said in the 7 minutes?

"nobody is saying he has an effect on that room" y'all been saying its over, this could be the beginning of the second holocaust, he is using antisemitism to get elected in 2024 . I have been like ehhh not quite and thats been taken as defense of what he is saying. Versus we have bigger problems in our reality. "radicalizaed groups are going to feel emboldened by his rhetoric". How long can you or I spend thinking about Nazis and if they feel empowered by a black man when their conflicts are entirely different?

Lupe directly uses the example of Nigga to the song but they were going to say it anyway for a reason.

Re-visited it not too long ago.

Forgot how great the record truly is.

This year has been saturated af with great releases.

But I'm still sure it'll crack my top 10.

I feel like this whole debacle could’ve been avoided if we all just collectively focused on the (very true) exploitative nature of capitalism esp as it relates to people of color in entertainment. Literally not one person would’ve not ridden with ye in that case. Lupe has the correct take. Also again just to point out one of the most exploitative record company heads Tommy Mottola who screwed Mariah Carey (literally and figuratively) and Michael Jackson out of a ton of money in the 90s was…. Italian and catholic. So again Lupe has the right idea and Ye is so off on this

Honestly I been done with Ye as a person since like 2014 when he was ranting on stage

And it’s not cause what he says. I barely keep up with what he says. I’m just done with all the antics.

I’m here for the music, I’ll listen to whatever he drops but do not care for all that other stuff

Even then I haven’t liked a project since TLOP. Donda was cool but I haven’t gone back to it since release

Forever a legend tho no matter how hard he tries to ruin his legacy
