"My problem is I'm peaceful and I believe in the people, that shit can get you kicked off stage"
“Hadiya Coleman is us. Joseph Coleman and Hadiya Pendleton. This young boy and young girl from very different walks of life, very different circumstances surrounding their deaths.
But no matter how we feel about either one, the reverence that we hold for one and the disdain we hold for the other, they’re still us.”
“You have to have kind of thick skin to be in this business anyway,” explained Lupe who noted that online community is known to twist the facts. “It can be things that are completely one hundred percent untrue, but because of the blogs it gets picked up… and [they] run with it.
It’s almost like you have to accept it as the truth because you’ll never be able to talk to everybody and say hey that didn’t happen.”
"Lupe's got about six to seven joints from me right now," S1 told SOHH. "There's some possible singles in there, really big joints. I'm very excited about the stuff that I've done, that I've produced for him.
The sound is really different for a few of them and then a few of them are epic-like joints, your [Kanye West's] 'Power', your [50 Cent's] 'My Life,' really epic-sounding records so I'm really excited to hear him on that and see where those go as well. So yeah, Lupe is dope. I've been a big Lupe fan since way back. Even before his first album."
"I actually met Lupe through some producers I worked with," Fiasco added. "I was doing a lot of records with [production twin brothers] Christian Rich and they were working with Lupe and they had some records that we had worked on together and collaborated on. Lupe liked them and actually three of the records are co-produced by me and Christian Rich.
After that, Lupe actually hit me on Twitter because I was retweeting some stuff about joints we had and he hit me like, 'Yo, DM me your info.' So we DM'ed out info and then after that, I've been pretty much sending him joints. He's hit me like, 'Yo, I need this. I want to buy this.' We've just been retaining that work relationship. That's how that came about. Christian Rich brought me into the whole circle."
Another great POWER meeting today! And been hanging out all day with da homie @lupefiascoS1
