@jackfreemanjr He need to blame whoever he gave it to early that uploaded it, not the fans. Every artist was on limewire. It was already expected.

He’s joking but he’s also serious bc he’s right. I think if I remember correctly, like damn near a million people or more downloaded his first album 2 months before it dropped and it wasn’t even finished yet.
He sold 80k his first week when it finally dropped. It eventually went gold.
His DEBUT ALBUM… you have no idea what that can do to an artist on a major.

“You f*cked it all up, man. We suppose to be in stadiums right now” Lupe Fiasco forgets the lyrics to “Kick, Push II” during a recent show & goes off on the crowd over people f*cking up his career by illegally downloading his debut album Food & Liquor.

@Dregs_One He got clearance from the label when you don’t own your music he don’t have to come to you

@RileyWritts I don't think its related to Kendrick, he's just bitter in general
English
I still think that Lupe is bitter because he didn't get the respect and accolades that Kendrick Lamar received today.

@DOTruthTracker @Genietalks @welikestonks @TateTheTalisman They are watching to see him die or kill someone. They don't actually like him.
English
@Genietalks @welikestonks @TateTheTalisman Why do you think he has black fans? Are they just not black enough? Not all black people react the same way which is why he’s never been assaulted before.
English
A lot of friends have chimed in on this so I’ll clarify.
He may not be legally guilty of any crime and I have never said he was.
I also didn’t use the term “provoke” by its legal definition under self defence statute.
This was simply my personal view on giving him my personal money, which I will not be doing.
I have always condemned nuisance streaming, and whether it’s legal to do so or not, trying to offend random people in the street just to prove you can I don’t think helps anybody.
I also from a personal perspective wouldn’t try to offend people and walk myself into a potential confrontation if I was carrying a concealed pistol and intended on blasting them if he swung.
Not my style.
Therefore to all of the mutuals him and I share, no I will not be contributing.
Honourable mention - @TheBrancaShow
Tristan Tate@TateTheTalisman
I actually am not such a fan of his. I was asked to bail him out and it was only 1.2m so I looked into his content. No. If you provoke a man, be ready for a fist fight. That’s the law I live by. 0 dollars donated.

@1amdjnatl @datchuk2020 @LowkeyEnergy_ I know it does. Its a common theme of right wingers that are too poor to put their kids in the private schools that have better lunches. The public schools are shit and will remain shit because any upgrade will be looked at as a "handout", even when it affects white people more.

Yt people don't want Black kids to have access to it.

@LickshotLippy Why do Aubrey fans make our ancestors a punch line to diss someone they don't like? What is that about? These mfkas be really some self hating negros on this app. How you go diss your own family to diss someone else 🤷🏽♀️

With Kendrick it’s worse. He could release an album of ocean sounds and his fans will say it’s powerful because that’s what the slaves heard when they were on the boats
D∆V!S@MinaFrancis11
To be fair, all the big artists are to some degree loved because of who they are and not the type of music they make... Even Kendrick Lamar can breathe on a mic and folks will stream that song....
English
@LickshotLippy Its always a weirdo with no real connection to the culture saying stupid shit like this
English
this IS the first time
it’s ever happened in hip hop 😂

@Saint_S7ven Because the writing is where the talent is, and everyone can't do it.

Why do people use double entendres as like this great metric for rap😂😂😂😂😂😂I see it everytime when there's rap discussion.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lex@LexDiamonds__
Drake doesn’t use a lot of double entendres, he uses puns, homophones & homonyms word play. An example of an actual double entendre he’s used is “Last year I had Drama girl, not right now”. There’s two interpretations from the same word: actual drama & DJ Drama’s girl.
English
@Nathaniel301847 @CrumbleBitches @Drake @rappin_4tay It's split. Some people care and stand on principle and some people happy the Bay is getting a look at all.
English
@CrumbleBitches @Drake @rappin_4tay Why The Bay ain't said something yet about him stealing not once but twice from them?
English
Well @Drake , @rappin_4tay finally did an interview about how you stole his song word for word, without being given any credit… well, I’ll let him tell the story FRAUD…
English
@datchuk2020 @LowkeyEnergy_ That's the point. They don't want to have it at their school because black kids are also at their school.
English
@LowkeyEnergy_ Also why does it have to be racially charged ? Black kids and white kids go to school together they eat the same food.
English
@RapperBigPooh Numbers are mostly a reflection of marketing/promoting. It mostly only matters if you're on the receiving end of that paycheck. A good song is a good song regardless.
English
to those that call themselves fans, what does arguing about how many streams/sales an album has do for you?
serious question. I never understood the fascination. Does numbers make the music sound better or worse? Does numbers determine if it’s worth you listening?
English
@NickVHammond @Antwon_Kreed @ChudTheBuilder Free speech has nothing to do with private interactions.
English
The amount of dumb asses that don’t understand that this whole @ChudTheBuilder issue isn’t anything to do with free speech is astounding.
And now that police reports have come out saying Chud went for his gun first? A lot of those people got very quiet.
But now they go for the “two-tier justice system” bullshit without understanding anything about the justice system.
It’s nuts. Just fucking crazy.
English
@HermannTheOnly @FBI If he goes outside and actually shoots a white person you'll have a point. But he didn't.
English
Hey @FBI , this black streamer (Cuffem) just called a white women a racial slur (cr@cker) and threatened to shoot her which in combination makes this a hate crime, right? But of course y'all won't pursue. The US government is the enemy of the White race.

@HarrisonHSmith People who claim they're going to kill someone on the internet and then go shoot somene in real life deserve every second of prison they get.
English
Either you support Chud, or you believe that White people deserve to die for using the n-word.
That’s it, that’s the framing.
English
@TheLaurenChen Chud is the one that chimped out. That's the funniest part
English
The discourse around Chud The Builder is totally different than a few days ago
When the story first broke, almost everyone I saw agreed he acted in self-defense, but most of the focus was on how crass and ill-advised his behavior was
And you know what? If the race- baiters wouldn't have said anything, that would likely still be the narrative
HOWEVER
Those bozos couldn't help themselves, and they had to chimp out
They started saying how Chud deserved it, how his words were provocation, and the usual justifications for black violence
And so now? Well now Chud IS a hero and I will 100% support the effort to make him a millionaire and pay for his lawyers until these people learn
English
@RetroCoast Chud is a repeat offender who was already out on bond. Facing charges that are borderline premeditated. Why people choose to compare him to a first time offender crime of passion is beyond me.
English
Chud the Builder case has CHANGED
At first it was about race and free speech
NOW it is about Judicial Corruption
A Judge set bail at $1.25 million for a case that usually goes for $50k bail
That's not justice- it's judicial corruption
