    1. You sound like a fuckin dummy. That man can spend his money how ever the fuck he wants. He contributes to his community in multiple ways. He earned every dime. You work right? Do you care about your community? Wtf do you do for it? How do you contribute? Or does all your money get spent on shit like shoes clothes and whatever else is overly priced nowadays?! Lupe never said he was Ghandi! You idiots are so quick to call a man that you know nothing about personally a hypocrit. God you seriously sound sooo ignorant. But wait you're about 14 right? Because there is no way a grown ass man wrote a comment like this and didn't explain the reason behind it. That's what coward ass pussy's do. Lmao. Gtfoh

    4. Lmao awwww you mad huh? Wait go ahead and say you aren't like most punks on these blogs do. You can't even drop valid points! You made it personal and used recycled ass insults. Lol wow you're so clever! Your intelligence really shows. You mad because somebody called yo dumbass out. Nothing you say makes sense my dude. Homophobic slurs, calling people Stans,claiming that people are trying to change your opinion is all feeble minded bitch shit. Nobody tried to change your mind, you were called out for making a dumbass comment and then being asked to explain it. Lol but like most cowards you got mad, talked shit, made irrelevant insults and made ya self look even more ignorant. Lol DUDE YOU ACTUALLY LET A STRANGER WORK YOU UP AND SHOW HOW SENSITIVE YOU CAN GET! Hahahahahahahahah NEXT!

  5. ^ don't preach that black and white nonsense bruh bruh. It's called trying.

  6. Lmao the world isnt so black and white. Man I swear, some of these fans need to relax. Theres nothing wrong with Lupe enjoying his success and reaching out to all the sides of the world. So what if he enjoys the other side? Who cares? Man, fans today are too feeble, the music enthusiasts are a dying breed. And when I say that, I basically mean people who just can relax and be glad for his success. Shit, take a deep breathe and realize, yes the world has problems, but everyone needs something in their life to make it a little less painful. Duality is great. I say if he can get every perspective he can, he should!

    AFTER ALL: Charles Darwin didn't propose the concept of Evolution just by random, he literally read every perspective just to get a balanced view of the world before he gave his two cents.

All I'm saying is its HILARIOUS that a nigga tryna point fingers at ills that existed since the beginning of time when he's doing the same shit an contributing to that cycle as well.. doesnt matter how many bars he drops or how many colleges he speaks at or donations he gives away shit wont change mfs actin like he got the holy grail but they just sittin on their ASS listenin to his message understanding it but on the interner not doing shit like wtf? My nigga get ACKTIVE! An that's not just for you anon that speaks for everyone on this fucking blog!

  7. So you don't want Lupe to spend his money? You hate him for that...?

    He sells millions of records world wide and you want him to do it for FREE?? You're so stupid its actually insulting...

    The amount of money which he has has all been earned by honourable means. He doesn't do half the shit that that Kanye and Jay do in order to be out there, the fact is that Lupe ISN'T all about profit.

    We all know that.

    But with that said, its like you don't want him to see any profit at all. Fuck you, and your ignorance.

    When he talks about the dangers of Capitalism he has always spoke about exploitation and degradation. Something which the US is adept at, crippling other countries in order to strengthen itself.

    I don't have time to explain to you, I'm writing my final exams on Tuesday. But regardless, even if I did, I feel it would be wasted on you... You're just so pathetic.

    To you be your way and to me be mine.

    3. Doing it for free thanks for makin that up all I was sayin is its funny how this article he says well yeah i play the game too but he likes to preach like his hands arent dirty at all.. if you dont realize that then you're a dick rider plain an simple its ok tho cuz you prolly do the same shit an create excuses or lowkey cover ups for slippin just like the ppl you point fingers at/sing an rap about... i don't hear Lupe say on the track that i do this shit to as he should he only waits til ppl call him on it then he makes up lame excuses on why its cool for him to be doin the same shit he complains about smfh

    1. Why does the method matter when its end result is used for personal reasons and or adding to the negative cycles that continues to exist in the system that cripples the mind body n soul as a whole?

  11. Lupe never wears big ass dubious chains. Doesn't rock huge diamonds in his rarely talks about his possessions. You must respect him for this.Yeh he has a lot of money but he doesn't gloat like other artist. At times I think he's broke cause he doesn't show out. But that's what makes me like Lu a lot more cause he's not bragging in my obnoxiously. I don't get where your coming from when you say Lu is a hypocrite.

  13. Okay, that nigga always talking about his "rarri" tho

    ReplyDelete

  14. You know, Lu never claimed to be an angel I remember in conflict diamonds he said "Now i aint try to come down on nobody, I mean ill go out and get me a little something to floss with, i dont know maybe a pinky ring"

    Fuck man, I hate that purist shit fans be on, as much as I hate the negative side of the music as well.

    The world comes with balance, so just relax and realize its not all black and white brother/sister. Enjoy life, breathe.
