HOT 97- Angie Interviews Lupe Fiasco

[tunecchiii]

really lupe, no quest.. fuck me that has gotta be the height of irony... i usualy listen to lupe aster i get sick of tip

[Mystikal22693]

He likes green now and later too ( he says this in his gold watch song). The M&M's all taste the same to me

[Mystikal22693]

hes talking about A Tribe Called Quest because he said he dont listen to A tribe Called quest after he messed up the rhymes in the hip hop honors

[chuckz27bmg]

"i don't take mouthshots" lmao

[LupeLovele]

he only eats the yellow ones because its his favourite color .... just like mine.......*sigh*

[koffybrown1]

I would never hit a woman...much respect. ;)

[aGwEENapple]

LOL, I can't even lie! When I watched that Hip Hop Honors performance I was soooooo confused when I notice Lupe didn't know the lyrics!

I heard he grew up on "gangster rap" before then but I always thought his style was more like A Tribe Called Quest and others like De La Soul anyways!! Very much more alike.

Like Angie said, "that's very surprising by the way"

That taught me more reasons why not to assume. You live & you learn. lol

[Mystikal22693]

@aGwEENapple he used to make "gangsta" rap (as some pople call it) but then he switched it up

[aGwEENapple]

@Mystikal22693 Yes, I guess he realized he wasn't putting out a good message?

[MrOrientSun]

He meant Cochineal insects thats where some red dye come from also different colors also

[Mystikal22693]

@MrOrientSun so red 40 is made out of insects?

[lollipopdays1]

So what do they do with the green and yellow M&Ms!!!!!??

[AzulDiamond93]

lol...he jus said they crush the lil red bugs 2 get the color!...lol ima jus not eat m&m's at all

[javp95]

It's funny dus niggas a Sikk rapper and he's a blackbelt!!!!

[12Lisi]

@javp95 hes got multiple black belts lmao

[TheSo4p]

"nah nah, thats why im CHOKIN YOU! SAY SUMTHIN! YEA! BACK UP! BACK UP!"

[c1981]

1:54 He told her stop because she was like " you messed up the damn words, you messed up the words"

[SuccessIsMyDestiny]

"Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss"

[GrMsTaR37]

This guy man hes so cool and laid back but intelligent too....Nice combination

[lazyman983]

great role model. number1

[yelloke2006]

Lupe ready to beat the shit outta somebody lmao I believe he can lol

[Lemaj420]

he has a good point, i dont think because he's a rapper he should know that song, and when i say know that song I mean know all the lyrics, but, however he should know that song. At least be familar with it, whitch he is.

[waytoogangsta]

He is number one by EASE!

[ripcitywings25]

lol i go on hhdx everyday basically and every lupe song that comes up. gets 5 stars automatic. He deserves that respect!

[DJElliioo]

man just cuz some words come out of ur mouth nd u say that he is best rapper alive doesnt mean shit somehow u think its official when it comes out of ur mouth first of all there is no such thing as B.R.A. cuz everyone likes different styles eg. lupe can spit in a way nd be the sickest nd eg. nas may not be as sick or vice versa nas so please just stop this nonsense u saying he is the B.R.A. period nd then say if u dont agree ur...ridicilous

[PoloBoyPrince]

lupe has a blackberry cuz i have that same ringer lol

[shenahdia1]

Best rapper alive is all a matter of opinion. Anybody can claim or get that title, but not everyone will agree. I personally think Lupe is most def one of them.

[ajizzlex]

i promise to god, i been wondering wat was RED 40, cuz it be in fruit snacks and shit and b makin my throat itch. so f*ck gushers and fruit roll ups and pop tarts, i been wondering dat 4 the longest. damn thx LUPE. (real talk)

[robbinsillinois]

lupe the best rapper alive behind jay-z period anyone that doesnt agree doesnt know hip hop listen to the homies music i bet you's a wayne lover, type of nigga that like gucci none rapping ass

[MoneyTalks1132]

dude nas is better than anyone. but us real hiphop people shouldnt be arguing over nas jayz or lupe. we should be thankful and be thinking about gay rappers like wayne soulja boy and others

[Bass23x]

LMAOOO!!!! he is behing JayZ AND Nas i would say... but not in front of eminem either bruh...

[soccersep]

where the roses are red

m&m's are yellow

haha

[i4getshit]

i love how he stops angie he obviously knows how she does shit lol

[GorgonDrageil]

lmao "zzbazzbazzbazzz"

[CoonCid]

wuts tht fone lupe has in the video?

[kdtheballa]

A just found a new found respect for Lupe.

[joecandito]

you didnt respect him before?

he deserves more respect than any rapper in the world today, actually more respect than any rapper ever.

[kdtheballa]

You misunderstood me. But I said was a NEW found respect, which means the old respect that I did have for him has just been renewed by the NEW found respect. I will always respect Lupe Fiasco for who he is and how he gets no slack for his talent from haters. By the way I have "Food and Liquor",and "The Cool", two of his mixtapes and waiting for "The Lasers Album". I have made repsect for him. Oh yeah, all the albums were store brought.

[joecandito]

ok, my bad, i gotcha now.

[phillyyork]

@joecandito ur crazy

[guardgirlix3]

no more red m&ms for me

[beatbchan5]

just the yellow m&ms:)

[PHONZZMCextrodinaire]

Angie can get it.

[micperk]

24/7/365

[THAxViLLAiN]

yea she can most def

[waiting4smtin]

just can't get doper than lupe. da dude flies high man

[prodigyy213]

zbbzbbzbz

[nollieflipnoseslide]

Take that son! Trivia #1!

[specialkboi34]

[CoonCid]

wut kinda fone does lupe hav?

[jayjaythagreat]

zbazbazbzazazz =]

[STARRhyding]

LOL, they're so silly! They did two re-enacments! I love this interview!

Lupe really informed me though on those red M&Ms.Good to know! =]

[STARRhyding]

"stop, stop... stop" LOL, that was unexpected

[IGNXIII]

I was rehear-STOP! STOP STOP STOP! I was rehearsing all day...

That was great, he just started talking over her.

[rochdalesleeper]

lupe is soo intelligent . people just blew the whole thing out of proportion

[ConfessionsBurn]

Is it all of them, but the yellow ones with red dye?

[ConfessionsBurn]

I DID NOT KNOW THAT ABOUT THE RED M&MS ew. what about the other colors?

[NWDAMU503]

niggas can say what dey want i personaly dont realy knock lupe but u gota respect his shit ya heard dude can spit

[Devanarestylez]

Lupe is a lyrical genius.

[sk8boardjay053]

yes he is

[5starchef]

yea..we all have our opinion..i just believe that those who dont like his music or think he's dope either just dont like him,they dont like hip-hop,or their dumbasses simply can't keep up with his complex metaphorical rhymes.

[23seluj]

"Stop Stop Stop".

[mtrakz]

Lupe the best youngest mainstream rapper out now. One of my favorites. You gotta listen to dude before you knock dude's style.

[ryaknow121]

right now, were just blinded by the other hip hop songs emphasized with notorious subjects, cause they have been hittin up the radio for so many years now, and were not used to hip hop with a new taste and songs with meaning

[Napierbaby1]

stop stop!! lmaoo i love lupe fiasco...he the truth...

[mdlfinga]

im so surprised that lupe didnt grow up on tribe. Like when i listen to his songs i can swear that his stlyle is derived from them. weird

[UnMotivated]

He shuts Angie up every time she tries to butt in. I fucking hate Radio DJ's. Funk Master Flex is the only worth listening to.

Lupe Fiasco - support a true artist.

[melo15813]

lol we hewas like stop stop shutting angie up

[madclownace]

Yo you shouldn't call somebody wack jus because you don't understand or can't relate to what they're talking about .... it's a matter of taste, dude.

[williespade]

If i can't call him wack...he can't call himself ill either

[Blacksoljah]

But he is ill. Its not an opinion, its a fact.

[unlovedAvatar]

breh u trippin lupe one of the sickest cats out ther right now

[WanderingSamura1]

Nah, simply because he's talented. Point blank period.

[mrb0utmycak3]

People also thought Hitler was a saint, and that Charles Manson was a God. Your point?

[WanderingSamura1]

My point is both Hitler and Manson were geniuses in their own way. Manson even had a high IQ, people just refuse to believe it.

[mdlfinga]

yoh im just curious in what records you spin. Like im not even comin at chu like dat, im just wonderin?

[williespade]

I give all regions spins, from the ras kass's to the pack, from the lil waynes to the scarfaces, common, talib, mos...all of them

[illard]

so you only listen to hooks really. you dont care about lyrics ur saying.

[williespade]

Thats a major negative...i don't care about LUPE'S lyrics

[mywhitetee594]

alright well personly i think ur crazy cuz lupe is ill

but at least uve herd sum of his music like i kno people who have only herd superstar and like he wack

look at his under-ground music

like twilight zone

at least i can respect ur opnion

[bigishsmallishblack]

take that son !!!! AHHA lmao

[aLaPurr]

Lupe Fiascooo.

I'm loving this guyy.

[23frankiee23]

My compadres lol... i think he knows some spanish

[Killtownchamp]

LUPE .... HERO...UNIQUE...Leader...all wordz i think of wen i think of him!!!!

[jellybeen]

LUPE IS THE SHIT!

[myschyveus]

Good interview. It's true about tha Red dye too. It's bug juice, lol.

[gaisensei43]

lupe my man

[CoonCid]

wut kinda fone did lupe pull out? does ne one no?

[GabbrielleTheGreat]

i gurantee ur a christian

[CoonCid]

ooooooooooooooook wut tha hell does tht hafta do wit me asking wut type of fone lupe pulled out his pocket?

[MrCrunchTime1]

damn angie still got it goin on

[htu]

oh and lupe doesn't count as a rapper

he's a poet. so I wouldn't call him the best rapper alive nor would I call the wayne the

best rapper alive. There's no such thing

as best rapper alive cause every rapper

has something different.

[htu]

I love lupe on this interview especially

on the part where he said people still thinks

he's wack it's like people talk about being wack and he doesn't even care. Hate him or love him he's a very intelligent dude. there's a couple other rappers like these and there out there it's just it's very rare because commercialism has distorted hip hop.

[Nikelea]

Htu, I thought they meant whacked as in crazy. That's why they were like "yeah I wonder why." Which I guess your point still stands but my question is what do they use on the yellow m's? :*)

[htu]

nikelea I wish I can answer that question but

I don't think I could answer that.

[TanishaAriel]

"SO JUST

TAKE ME HOME

WHERE THE MOOD iS MELLOW

AND THE ROSES ARE GROWN

M&Ms ARE YELLOW "

it makes sense now :)

[xtharekx]

lol i never noticed that but yeah..ew im never gonna eat red m&m's again :D

[iThinkandWrite]

@htu Amen to that. Well said, well said.

[lesblesd]

SAY REAL HIP HOP!

[tipezz]

REAL HIP-HOP LOL

[martaajoku1]

REAL HIP HOP =)

[truncale]

real hip hop my nigga

[prettyboy0688]

He is telling the truth cuz I grew up in the same city around the same blocks as he did and dont NOBODY listen to them

[4r4biq]

lupe is a breathe of fresh air.....fuk lil dwayne or wayne or wotever the fuck he calls himself

[CoonCid]

u rite,lupe is a breathe of fresh air n an amazing artist n i do like him more then lil wayne but u gotta respect lil wayne also for stayin on his grind n workin hard cause he is also a good artist n has a lot of fans

[tipezz]

lol its lil wayne

wayne can rap like he nice lupe and wayne are both very very very different i don't think lil wayne go tooo hard with the guns and drugs but his lyrics and how he put dem goes hard

[4r4biq]

The reason i say this is cos i heard a track by lil wayne the other day... lo and behold it was about having sex with a girl in the club while his pistol is in his pants and smoking a joint.... how obvious can you get!!! if someone gave u a track and sed u have 5 mins to speak to anyone in the world wot message wud uu put across?....guns? drugs? gansters? fake ass people

[dtgtube]

damn he shut angie martinez up like shit...i respect that though

[SkittleszBabyG69]

yo Lupe is mad funni...i cant believe people still think Lupe is wack...dats crazii..n also dat dey crush up insects to make red coloring...so nasty

[freezesho]

damn Lupe is hoing her stop stop lol

[ElGuerreroSolo]

wavesnew, that was suppose to read yeah but not garbage ones

[TrayMoney106]

We all know Lupe is great but dat dnt mean Weezy is wak... a large portion a of rap is emtertainment and Weezy with his abnormal flow is hella entertaining

[SuperReiRei]

o dam sowi i prest da down thumb ting ... ment 2press da yes ting ... u tawk alotta cents ... ;)

[cla55e]

my man, listen ima give you some spelling lessons...let me know when you wanna know how to type like an adult and i will teach you the basics of reading and writing.

[awegachew]

Looks like Lupe has been spending too much time around Kanye and deveopled some of his ego, that's a shame because they're both great artists.

How are you gonna hush Angie on her own show? Damn, I guess cause he's a "superstar"

[Incipidone]

smart comment but listen to superstar again i dont think you got the meaning

[geo86583]

well, she kept on cutting lupe off...

[c1981]

@awegachew  cause she tried to clown him talkin about " you messed up the damn words"

[bmasterflex92]

not when the metaphors dont show a bigger part like one of his is like hair in a comb

[bmasterflex92]

lil wayne has nothing to do with nas and lupe they are lyricist only thing lil wayne knows how to do is make metaphors

[wavesnew]

Metaphors are a big part of being a Lyricist, just so u know

[ElGuerreroSolo]

yeah but garbage ones

[angelo1405]

man dont tell me youre talking about little wayne that whoopi goldberg impersinator. i cant understand 90% of what IT says.

lupe=mc

[imALLn]

LOL @ "only thing lil wayne knows how to do is make metaphors"

r u sure about that? hahahaahaha

[bmasterflex92]

ya im positive bout that less u wana be technical cuz he knows how to make similes too

[ElGuerreroSolo]

weak corney metaphors at that...

[1stWomanOnURF]

wow. this is INCREDIBLY interesting. makes me see lupe like differently and think of hip hop differently. cause like on the real i am a bit of a style hater, but in the end i guess what i appreciate is the lyrics so, i'm trying to keep my mind open to different styles of hip hop and lupe just sorta encouraged me to go further with exploring different avenues of it. i mean we do gotta keep in mind that chicago hailed artists like twista and do or die first before kanye and lupe.

[hopz84]

dont put wayne in a category with nas and lupe please. what has wayne done that is so lyrical.

[partwaves]

da drought 3...........take a listen kid then say he cant be in the same sentence as NaS & Lupe

[imALLn]

*took a listen* he can't be in the same sentence as Nas & Lupe.

[partwaves]

lame

[He6]

Lupe is nice, but in my opinion at this point he is slightly overrated.Only because Im strong on lyrical content, as is thats what I really pay attention to.

[partwaves]

hes underated in my opinion hes prbly the best lyricist in the game, him & NaS, & Weezy F r at the top Realtalk kid

[TheFlash123]

Weezy sucks

[kaffum]

Subtract Weezy and you're good (no hate Weezy is pretty decent just really not a lyricist)

[Shadoe34]

He says ignorance is bliss in the next line.

[bigslim15]

at 9:10, when he says " Knowledge is Power" He says "ignorance is ______" does anyone know what he says??

[AnonymissSilhouette]

Meaning if you don't know something and/or are unaware the negatives that come with it, you don't have to worry about it.....like "what we don't know can't hurt us." It sounds good, but still the coward's way out.

[tlb31m]

bliss

[Hrd2FndaNme]

Bliss.

[tswagg504]

He's right though. There are SOME New Yorkers who beleive that anything that doesn't come out of New York isn't hip-hop---and this enabled them to overlook GREAT artists such as Kurupt, Ice Cube, 8ball/MJG, Scarface,UGK, Outkast back in the day...NOW they look at the overall state of hip-hop today, and realize that artists such as Scarface and Outkast fully embodied what hip-hop is....I hate that bias shit...Judge all hip-hop the same way regardless of region and then there's no problem.

[Mcelroy]

But he didn't, why does a young MC have to know A Tribe Called Quest because he's conscienous rapper? Real talk, Lupe

[purplesilverplatinum]

OMG!! Bugs in my m&m's?! Totally gross!!! But don't we swallow 3 spiders a yr while sleeping? Lupe has enlightened me on the current state of candy. lol

[bubba926]

why did lupe have to say where red m&m's came from i'm prolly never going to eat the red ones ever again

[AnonymissSilhouette]

It's not just the red ones. I think there's some red dye all of the m&ms except for the yellow.

[AnonymissSilhouette]

Also, red food coloring is used in alot of food, not just m&ms, so you'd have to cut out a lot of foods that use that food coloring, like Lupe does. Lupe just happens to like m&ms so that's what he requests, but I'm sure those bugs are everywhere.

[chiefkc2002]

Lupe>>>>TRibe.

[darrylbaby18]

Lupe Fiasco Is One Of My Favorite Lyricists In The Game Right Now. But I Grew Up Listening To A Tribe Called Quest All My Life. Its All Good

[playa565d]

Ya'll must come on here lovin 2 give minus ones. Im on lupe's side faggots

[partwaves]

Lupe Fiasco Twilight Zone Best Video

[jmjason]

the flow of lupe is not weak.its one of the best .maybe the best...fu*k rappers like 50 cent.....they are talking about some fucxing shit.......fnf up

[bluemagiccancon]

Lupe is a dope rapper. But how the fuck are you not going to know tribe.

I still buy his albums and love his music, but how the fuck are you not gong to know tribe.

[igotem16]

Well i didnt listen to much of Tribe when i was younger....not everybody listens to the same groups, just like Lil Wayne is hot now but do i listen to him? not one bit, there were plenty of other rappers hot back then besides tribe even though ima tribe fan now

[suzyqthepope]

1. Lupe is the illest LYRICSIST EVERRRRRR

2. He's MADD CUTE

3. You'll neva catch me eatin the red ones

4. He's MADD CUTE

[LiLClozBee]

haha lupe is legend

gotta love him

also

i dont believe he hit a girl

thats not him at all!

plus

i will never eat red m&ms again :|

[Zamboni713]

I am never eating M&M's ever again....in life.

[playa565d]

Listen 2 tha albums then come back and see me. Talk alot of shit about a person u never heard rap before

[playa565d]

He didnt diss tribe called quest he said he didnt listen 2 them. Everybody got they own opinion on who's nice and who's not. Canibus was nice but he done now (He got any albums out recently no) How tha hell lupe aint nice and he still doin his thing I hav no idea what u thinkin. And tha only poison he spits iz tha shit that kills these whack ass rappers like plies and yung berg. Listen 2 his album then come back and see me. Excuse me "US!"

[Bloodsport1]

I listen to Lupe's 1sat album and it wasn't all that. He didn't have any songs that stand out maybe to me his flow is weak. Canibus last album came out last year and it is a classic. No fastforwarding any songs. I can listen to it straight. Canibus now have a song called George Bush push the button. Classic song. Much better than Superstarrrrrrrr

[playa565d]

Okay fine I respect that...U listened 2 it and its your opinion. Just stop comin on here and talkin trash okay? Lets put it all behind us

[Bloodsport1]

kool, dont get me wrong Lupe is cool but he kinda disrepect the legends Tribe called Quest. I have to defend Tribe.

[playa565d]

I got u...my bad about tha earlier comments

[Bloodsport1]

cool

[miminopolis]

to da dude who wrote da canibus line how about dis...Hey he had a whole lotta cheese plus he was a mac had a whole lotta seeds

Made alot of niggas fat gave a whole lotta G's, grams man he had a whole lotta dese

And he would let you hold a whole lotta keys, even if u lose some he would give you new ones

Twice the bread like he had two buns, and he had a whole lotta seeds even his kids had meals

For reals some rich small fries wraped in paper since they was little, ketchup nigga

[Bloodsport1]

LOL You kidding me right
