Lupe Fiasco speaks with Sway In The Morning, sounding off on Pete Rock and the situation behind his sampling of “T.R.O.Y.” for his new single.
@ Da Roundeye
Like I said man I respect Pete and all my favorite beats and producers are sample based
I just think he could’ve handled this privately because it looks somewhat like the pot calling the kettle black when a dude who’s fielding lawsuits for samples is telling somebody not to bite his shit, lol
But thats just my opinion, I still got love for Pete, even my family says & does shit I dont agree with here and there man, its still all good
Why wouldn’t Lupe take phone calls? What is he afraid of? For somebody who prides himself on expressing himself, he sure didn’t seem to care about other people’s opinions.
So I’m gathering that Lupe contacted Pete – who admitted to fucking up – secured a promise from him that he’d publicly apologize for fucking up, and did no such thing. Seems like Lupe has a right to be pissed *if that’s what really happened* and I certainly can’t blame him for declining to deal with Pete’s fanboys over the phone when his only intention was to explain what really happened to everyone who saw this play out on Twitter. More unfortunate rapper ego shit I guess.
