Coming Soon to a theater near you…Lupe Fiasco in Revenge Of The Nerds V: Buck 50 Soakin’ Wet Gangsters

Yo Lupe Fiasco, is a very real man, not b.c he he did what he didi but b/c he stays true to himself in his music. He had one the top 5 ablums I think this year. Keep doing what you doing man we need that music in or lives it’s truly get’s me through my day. BIG UPP !!! TO LUPE

Wow listen to all you lames hate. it wouldnt have mattered who it was in the interview you herbs still would try and diss.. well have fun being internet thugs. Bol has taught you well. Come to the westside of the chi with all that rahrah.

You lames are ignorant. if you listen to his new great album The Cool u will know why he is talking about it. but yall are too dumb and want soulja boy

” Go get ur cousin, I’ll go get me!” - Now dats some funny shit…

there is no doubt in my mind that i would stomp this little nigga out. He like a buck 60….lil dudes with a big complex.

1. You didn’t threaten no REAL gangster with a gun and not get delt with later on.

2. Your pops may have pulled a gun on some hypes but there’s noway you ran a D-Boy on the block if he was getting money there.

So kick and push yo @$$ off a cliff with that nonsense.

I would also like to see his lakeside property in Arizona.

I dig Lupe too,buy Ahh, that wasn’t the question. But I do believe the crack house story though. Just cause you skateboard don’t mean you can’t aim!

ROFL this nigga is a clown…i was thinking yesterday that i kinda liked this cats album…now he on the bottom again like weezy

First off Lupe’s new album is the shit…one of my favorie albums of all time….as far as what he said in the interview, I dont know I wasnt there…could be true, could be false….but all u bitch ass niggas making internet threats are corny as hell…a bunch of haters…”yo I’ll stomp Lupe” “he aint gangsta” “he never licked shots”…..get a fuckin life…whats so ccol about being “gangsta”? ya’ll make me laugh…idiots….breathe….

too much hate on a real cat…he answered the question…people think that cause he makes hip hop music and not gangster rap that he is a suburban kid who hasn’t seen much…the question was pointed at him like he was a punk because he makes hip hop…believe it or not…your fuckin GREAT gangster rappers are soft for the most part…it’s all entertainment right??…that’s sad that just cause a cat wants to rise above all the bullshit of hoods that he gets hated on by a bunch of lames…it ain’t hard to act gangster…it’s hard to rise above all that negativity and be somebody…do ya thang loop…keep it cool…

im from the chi and he is over exxagerating it but he wasnt a skate boarder u idiots he did that song about a friend and it just happend to pick up lol hes not a skateboarder

dam this nigga tryin wild out wit dis “elimination of Gangsta” bullshit…duke need ta chill who he expects to believe this shit. Mad luv fo chi-niggas but this wackass makin look like business wus that easy to deal wit in chi-like all u need is a “Ill get me!” since wen did gangbangers listen to a single-buck nuttin nigga and do nuttin after!! chi-niggas needa step up tell this fool it dun work like that in tha hood!
this aint no internet gangsta thing dummies is jus wen a nigga go releasin information like this on the internet is natural fo nexx mans to respond..

Chicago, stand up. Lupe, we have nothing but love and respect for you out here in Chicago. All the haters should concentrate all this energy and do something productive with their lives.

Lupe Fiasco, greatest lyricst since Rakim.

shooting tec-9’s as a baby huh ? lets be serious now Lupe… you guys don’t really believe this do you ?

and this is what’s really funny…people think u r suppose to be hardcore and yapping…but on the real…people u least suspect r the ones who will really go hard at you….that’s how a lot of peeps end up losing their life…that quiet unsuspecting nigga is the one who’ll do the most damage….i really wonder if most of u r lonely computer nerds or if you’ve EVER stepped foot in a ‘hood….

y’all niggaz need to stop wit tha e-thug threats. This nigga from westside chicago he from the gutta he probably had to do shit like that to protect himself. U niggaz act like he wuz tryna be gangsta, he wuz tryna protect himself & his fam from tha niggaz runnin tha dope house next door. Y’all ignorant niggaz is stupid, shit it might have been done in a reckless way but he tryna get rid of tha drugs and thugs from around him so peoplez not fuckin wit him there is nothin worng wit that!!!!

yo believe me i did martial arts and i was brown belt 2nd degree so whoever said they could beat up lupe who is a 8th degree black belt is a idiot thats like goin in a ring with ufc niggas or fuckin mike tyson in his prime and u gotta remember his partna just went to jail for sellin heiron and he grew up on the south side of the chi for all we knew he couldve been a gangster common said he used to gangbang it aint no diffrent we didnt grow wit him so how we knoe at least hes sayin bein a gangsta aint cool

45th Chicago 5th Ward for life south nigga

LOL! I was really trying to be in this guy’s corner…but it’s becoming so hard to take him seriously.

Most of you haters wouldn’t even undestand lupe’s album you dumbfucks. The Cool=Album of the year.

How do you know he didn’t have to do that shit when he was younger. Motherfuckers assuming shit without evidence.

lupe aint no gangsta….hes reachin…hes tryn to hard

All the negative comments come from lame who listen to these no talent havin ass people like Plies and shit. Who they think is so real. Stop bein so fuckin ignorant. That’s why shit is the way it is now cause of mufuckas like yaw.

I dont know whats wrong with Lu this is my Dude For real but it just seems like he cant catch a break everytime he says something we gotta say something about it Lupe is the Rap Britney Spears from fiascogate to this shit to that Mess with him and Kanye’s dude that looks like he straight outta a Minstrel Show, Lupe was just stating that pumping all that Gangsta Shit aint where its at for him cause he done been there done all he could do with that and thats why He in the Lane he in Now

Yo seriously, you never know what somebody has done or not unless you were there. But, if this dude is nice I have no fuckin idea what nice is. He aight at best.

On some other shit tough…anybody who makes internet threats is pussy!

First off, I believe the dude Lupe.

It has nothing to do with Gangsta shit you dumbasses. Could yall idiots please stop pretending yall real hard shottaz and shit? It’s just really pathetic. Your on the internet. Nobody believes you. Real gangstas don’t geek it out on XXL.com about how gangsta they is or how much street knowledge they got. YOU ALL the clowns. Well at least some of yous anyway. HATERS.

If yall know anything about the Black Panthers, Muslim(Nation of Islam, etc), and other movements over the last 40 years, you would know this type of thing actually did happen. I’m not endorsing these movements. Matter of fact, I think that some of these people were crazy unrealistic extremists while others were advocating a healthy dose of self improvement and self empowerment. I was just explaining that things like this actually DID HAPPEN and it coincides with the idelogy and everything that these movements had.

Instead of wastin your time on hiphop websites, pretendin yall gangstas why don’t you all go outside and get a life or somethin wit your stupid asses? Read a fuckin book or somethin. Get a girlfriend, get a job, I don’t know. MAYBE YOU UNDERSTAND ME IF I TYPE IN ALL CAPS WIT YOUR DUMBASS. GET A LIFE.

Lupe isn’t bragging about shit. If you actually go to the source of the information, you would see that XXL.com and Entertainment Weekly is the ones that selectively picking this part of the interview out about guns and drugs and hyping it hard. Because it makes good headlines and gets little stupid mothafuckaz like yall all excited and shit.

chicago is a real life nightmare when it come to the projects,the city does’nt run poverty stricken areas,the gangsters do…ctas dont even know who BUSH is but they know who KING TUCK is…sleeping in bathtubs so you wont catch a stray,that ish is real people.COMMON&LUPE > TWISTA & KANYE

Yeah right!! C’mon Lupe I don’t believe you, you need more people! Lol

DTRIP says:

^^realest shit i heard from here in a long time (I kno because I been there)^^

And the funny thing about it is, all these niggaz talking shit, are either

1) juss a bunch of teens who think gangbanging iz cool

2) Has no life, so they have to bland in the CROWD to get notice

3) don’t kno shit about Hip-Hop

They all need to eat a apple

THE GANGSTA MENTALITY IS OVER AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES. READING SOME OF THE IGNORANCE FROM ABOVE JUST WHERE PEOPLE STAND ON THE ISSUE OF WHAT’S “GANGSTA” AND WHAT’S NOT. REAL GANGSTAS ARE DEAD AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS. THE LAST REAL GANGSTA WAS TOOKIE, BAR NONE.

A REAL GANGSTER GROWS UP TO BE A MAN, AND THEN MAKE THE DECISION TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT FOR HIS AND HIS COMMUNITY. BLACKS SHIT ON EACH OTHER FOR REASONS I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. WHAT EXISTS TODAY ARE MORE OR LESS THUGS. YOU MAY GO OUT AND “REPRESENT” TYRANNY, BUT THE GANGSTER MENTALITY AT THE END OF THE DAY IS SOMETHING ONLY A REAL MAN CAN POSSESS. THE PRIMARY VISION OF A REAL GANG IS TO BE COMMUNITY DRIVEN, RESPONSIBLE AND JUST.

TODAY’S GANGSTERS ARE NOTHING LIKE WHAT THAT VISION WAS AND WHAT GANGS WERE CREATED FOR.

ROBBING, MURDER AND THE LIKE IS NOT WHAT THAT VISION WAS MADE TO BE.

SO JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS A REBELLION IN LUPE’S YOUTH, DON’T THINK THAT HE WAS TRYING TO BE GANGSTA, HE CLEARLY STATED WHAT OTHER REAL GANGSTERS SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT.

I think people on here are stupid,first this is only a part of the interview, and if you know anything about Lupe when he first came he was on that gangsta shit and his pops was a black panther so his dad might have actually done that shut down the crack house shit. Lupe has a black belt, I know niggas right now that do that karate shit and will shoot the shit out you. They asked him about the shit from the past and like I said Lupe used to be on that gangsta shit I he most likely did have guns. West side of chicago I isn’t a very place to grow up.

shooting Tec-9’s since we were babies? I’ll admit, dat shit is a little too exaggerating(can’t spell it) tho

he’s not bragging about it, but he seems to have an annoying chip on his shoulder where he wants to prove something and separate himself from his backpacker fanbase. why does dude act surprised at who he gets compared to when that’s the type of music he makes?

the more guy opens his mouth, the more i’m convinced he’s the biggest douche of the conscious rap set. he’s trying too hard.

knowin Lupe he prolly meant sumthin else but wooow that jus went over my head so much..I mean alot of his lyrics do but in an interview it jus went waaaay over me..also peeps hatin on skateboarders n shit sayin they cant be g’s r str8 up jus stupid

Ohio’s finest http://www.myspace.com/rimestrike1 check me out

[...] IT DOWN First Fiascogate and now this? Lupe Fiasco loses major cool points every time he opens his mouth to do something other than rap. [...]

Right!…. I know the city Is Hell, But he Over Exagerating, bout wut he did… I Still Fuk Wit Lupe though, he a dope artist.

You dumb bitches are always tryin to find a reason to talk shit about anyone. You don’t know if the shit is true unless you were there, but I bet if Lil Wayne or Young Jeezy said this same shit you would be hugin dey dick right now so just shut up and listen to the album. It might be hard for you bitches to grasp it, but it was the best album of 2007 and it came out 13 days before the year ended.

Im from the chi and a 7 yr old will knock you head back if you aint careful. I know lupe and his pops r.i.p. and dude was a beast he was plugged wit them iraq niggas. Killed me when he showed me that rocket launcher but yall believe what yall want im just here to tell u shit real

some of yall corny Wayne lovin niggas need to actually listen to Lupe’s albums and stop talkin shit

and what’s really crazy with these internet cats…they probably believe JIGGA more than they do LUPE…and JIGGA already told you he was only entertaining you!…Dumb asses!

I dont even think yall dudes understand what lup is tryna say! In noway is this nigga tryin to say he a gangbanger or gangsta! He from muthafuckin chi-town where the stones deciples lords 4 corner and alot of otha gangs originated from! In that type of environment you have to be bout yo shit or you gonna get ate fo lunch! In my opinion the nigga was sayin that while everyone glorifies fuck ass niggas like plies for bein “gangsta” he was the type of dude that handles his and doesnt need to fit into Americas fascination for “Gangstas” to be areal cat! Gangstas dont live that long yall muthaphuckas need to get a grip on reality and grow the fuck up man fo-real! We aint never gonna rise as a people like we should with all this ignorance and hate for eachother! Shit i’ll probably get hated on for this comment. Oh well fuck ya! Lupe keep doin you nigga!!

COP THE COOL THE FOOL!!!

Lupe Fiasco is hot! He’s the greatest! He’s the new rap Jesus!!

Buy that bullshiite album!! You’ll go to the promised land and get 42 virgins!!! And they’ll be white!!!

Fuck this dude.

The only thing Lupe ever shot is tequila.

to those who don’t believe i got one question for ya…….how come u believe everybody else?

thats right suckas lol shut ya mouth

& whovever hatin on “The Cool” r u kiddin me? go kill yourself

People need to stop hating, they don’t realize that Lupe was brought up in a military household. He was taught to shoot guns and he had them in his house.

People need to get off his back, half the people talking shit now are the same kids who pussy out…

Get off Lil Waynes dick, and stop trying to find shit on Lupe just cause he is the truth and people scared of it…

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SHUT THE F*#! UP. Y’ALL GET A LIFE

YO Guadalupe!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP YO FOR REAL!!!! He gets the Nigga Please Award for this monht, Jack Ass!!!!!

lupe your a fuckin clown, who are u trying to bullshit. Your as soft as that kanye nigga you roll with

Yo! You niggas got it right and wrong…Trey Stone has the best point…but LF could have been doing double duty - skateboarding and popping off - I know because I created a ‘crime storm’ from 86-92 through ez access to guns, which altered many lives. Lives like Lupe could’ve been affected because I sold weapons to anybody and cheaply across the country. I realize now that I was ignorant, allowing myself to be used to create an artifical crime wave in certain states so that tough laws could be added to the law books to handle juveniles as adults. Just concider the drop in crime the past 14yrs., and the fact that there are more people in prisons which is the result of the laws passed in the 90’s that has led to more prison time / longer sentences…the lesson here is always think and even a young punk or ol’ clown can be packing ‘the heat like an oven door’ (Jay Z)

Alwys seek peace, but plan for war!

???

If you think about it..We all play characters. It’s all perception and we all try to keep this image. I’m from LA and the Game is a nobody, but other niggas think he hood. Lupe can be whoever he wants-thug,skater,nerd, rapper. It don’t pay our bills. Fuck that nigga personal life or anyone elses besides my niggas and family. And last, The Cool is dope album.

[...] read more [...]

hey just cause he doest live that style and glorify it doesnt mean that he didnt do it. that just means he prefers to not be that way.

Just cause you handle a gun doesnt make you gangsta…..it just makes you a person wth a gun. Gangstas get caught, shot, and killed….. who really wants that.

of course all of these so called gangstas up here have never been to Chicago….

THis shit is real talk, the hardest niggas in the CHi was affiliated with someone in a gang and espescially if you had pops who didnt give a fuck, muslims in the Chi aint never been afraid of shit dummies

Son I grew up a block away from Lupe’s hood in the Chi and let me tell you I believe every word. Not cause its Lupe, but cuz everyone stayed strapped up, everyone watched they ass and everyone took care of their family. Gangster? Call it what you will, but we did it to protect ourselves and our loved ones. SO fuck ya’ll thinkin he frontin u obviously never been to a real hood.

none of yall dum fucks knno anything about the nigga…so u sound stupid sayin hes a liar and he fake and all dat…..ur only reason 4 thinkin hes lying is cuz he didnt come out as a “gangster rapper”…so that means he aint just a real nigga? the definition of a real nigga is a nigga dont go lookin 4 trouble to show off but will do wat he needs 2 to protect himself his fam and close 1’s…so all yall dum fucks give the mans dick some breathing room….oh yea nd most of ur “gangsta rappers” never came close to poppin a gun

I like Lupe alot but even I have to say….

Nigga shut the fuck up.

XXL ya’ll should put this on the Negro Please part of the magazine.

of course he didnt mean babies babies..(diapers and shit)….he prolly just meant like he shot guns frm wen he was a kid 8,9,10

these dudes commentin prolly think Jeezy is the most hardcore gangsta in America and Weezy is a real blood…lol.

just coz he made a skateboardin song dont mean he didnt come up rough

So if rappers like Wayne and Baby go out there frontin hard about how they Pryos wearin Red flags in their videos (when they never did that shit in the past), nobody questions it. When did they “convert” to Bloods? 10+ years after they out of the streets livin in mansions from their hit videos? If 50 Cent and JayZ goes around and says they were big time crack dealers and gun runners when every one really knows they was nickel and dimin at best, nobody questions it.

But if Lupe Fiasco briefly mentions in an interview an incident that occured in his child hood about his Black Panther Muslim father goin into a crack house wit a gun, all of a sudden he’s the BIGGEST FAKE in the world??!!! WHAT? WHY? Because he doesn’t fit into your cookie cutter vision of what a [fake] gangsta rapper should be? Some of yall is NOT in touch wit reality or somethin. Please get off your computer, throw away all your hood gangsta movies and Scarface, and go outside into the real world for once.

If the dude wanted to fake bein a gangsta like all the other rappers yall listen to, than he would of been done it just to sell records and make money. And there is nothin wrong with gangsta rap. I’m bumpin the new Freeway right now dawg. But don’t go pointin at Lupe Fiasco and yellin “FAKE!” when all the gangsta rappers in your CD collection are NOT GANGSTERS. How can you not tell a story like that without coming off like your braggin? The dude said it as humble as possible. The shit was like that than I believe him. I got no reason not to.

Why? If he wanted to exploit some gangsta image, he would of been done that. And again it is NOT Lupe Fiasco that is exploiting this story. It is Entertainment Weekly and XXL blowin this little part of the interview up. WHY? Because little dumb fake kids like some of yall eat this shit up.

again real talk.. Lupe is a fag

[...] the latest Lupe Fiasco fiasco has hit the Internets: message boards and hip-hop magazine blogs are buzzing over this answer Lupe gave during an Entertainment Weekly [...]

if he was tryin to show off he would have been putting it in his songs like most of these so called “gangsta” rappers that yall love

this is hilarious

Are you serious lupe im from your hood i know your bitchass. I aint tryin to front but we bot know you are lying nigga

Yeah I know. Lupe must be a fag, what it do. What type of black rapper doesn’t dress hood like everyone and raps diverse topic matter and doesn’t falsely project himself to be an unrealisticly macho criminal figure? What a fag. He should do a song about snapping his fingers. Now that’s some hood shit right there. Snapping your fingers. He should just pretend being a gangster like everyone else so he can sell more records to fake ass little kids that like to pretend they’re tough.

[...] Ear problem relapse, or phony plea to leave jail early? You be the judge. - Lupe Fiasco: “We were shooting TEC-9s when we were babies” [...]

lupe real he not tryin to be gagster cause if he was he would do it in his songs so sell more records not in a interview. he not fake like lil wayne talking bout he sell drugs wene he been rich since he was 16 years old. what kind of idot if guna sell drugs to make money and put your life in danger wene you are already rich. that’s why i respect lupe casue he real but nobody belive he real wayne fake but everyone belive he real. yall sum idots that is fake thats y yall like fake ass rapper and dont like real ones casue yall aint real

I think the point was missed in this whole thing I said it early “Real Talk” said it all through this Lupe wasnt trying to be Hard or thugged out all he was saying was that This Gangster Persona that people have is nothing to Him because his Upbringing was STREET he elevated out of that and said the hell with it its easy for anyone to put the Hard core stories on front street for the general public to eat up and love him for it Like Say Jeezy or Wayne but that aint him so all that he fake this and that it aint even called for.. and for the record Im at my job writing this not home cutting class or none of that other shit dudes be doing on here pumping that Gangsta shit Im just giving my point of view and hope that some one out there with a bit of sense can agree on what it is Im saying or better yet what the orginal statment the Nigga Lu made was for
