lupe speaks on soulja boy

[0oShwavyo0]

Lets be clear; theres 2 mentalities in the music biz (and just business in general): to sell to the masses, and to sell to an 'elite' group. Thats not to say lupe fans are better than any other fans, but lupe sells music to people who want to listen carefully to what he says, and ultimately reach a deeper meaning. Soulja boy has mastered the art of the hook, and he sells music that anybody can dance to, sing along to, rap along to, whatever. Try to not get the words 'I hop up out the bed....tur

[LateSeptemberC]

You gotta accept our retarded step cousins" - hahahahahah

[Thedriftor]

The hand sign means "I love you" in ASL.

[BIGMrighthere]

Lol "You gotta accept our retarded step cousins" - Lupe

[BreezyMane100]

How dare y'all say soulja boy wack lupe lame ass hell fuck off!!!!

[RaGInBaLLeR23]

@BreezyMane100 dude are u retarded? check soulja boys lyrics then lupe THEN start tlking bullshit if u like

[blackninja400]

@RaGInBaLLeR23 Thank you

[blackninja400]

@BreezyMane100 Fuck you

[BreezyMane100]

@blackninja400 no fuck u pussy

[frozenray0079]

soulja is wack. but lupe makes a point----i mean hip-hop music does revolve around loops, heavy 808 bass, and dance. i personally hate soulja boy. but lupe is my main man and he has a point. he ain't sayin he's a fan haha he just sayin it's hip-hop. or rap....people get too technical about these things but it is what it is

[Hotgirlbff]

he called him the 'retarded step cousin' lol

[MizzYungMacMar]

Lupe was making that as a joke...had to be

[TheSamee]

I don't get it. How can Lupe say this after making "Dumb It Down"?

[superteefy]

@TheSamee dumb down was more about himself. and the labels reaction to his music....the world has to have ignorance to have knowledge

[TheSamee]

Lupe is just being nice.

[TolStar419]

Soulja boy is hip hop weather we like it or not. And believe me we dont. We dont like it at all

[MrReed401]

@TolStar419 no hes commercial get it sraight

[blckjade05]

@TolStar419 made me vomit in my mouth a lil.

[MrCommenterguy]

shut the fuck up- lupe is trying to drop some knowledge here!

[CCareTTaker]

Super Sarcasm !!

[hobopopo6]

soulja boy is enabling thousands of young (an old-_-) ass kids to share the same dumbass mentality he has. i hate it ppl say "you cant compare" fuck that theres negative music, positive music, and really stupid negative music like soulja boy, the equivalent of a coloring book when it comes to music

by the way ive seen SO MANY gits jamming to solja boy. wtf does that tell you?

[srlklr187]

Will always love Lupe but Soulja Boy is whack.

[FinesseFlow]

soulja boy is the wackest artist lyrically, whoever feels motivated by soulja boy is not smart at all, and soulja boy who states that he tries to simplify his lyrics so he can get the point across, he's probably aiming for high school drop outs or elementary school kids starting from grade 1. Lupe is crazy for saying he's Hip hop or a rapper, soulja boy belongs in a circus . He's a clown and people who support him are also clowns, "you are what u eat" so to speak. dont digest his weak lyrics

[professorXcross]

Soulja boy gets respect from the most respected rappers!!!! Craziness! lmao

[speckyben]

only a guy like lupe could say something like this

[The123manutd]

hahahahaaha, soulja boy?? who is Soulja boy?, that mudda fucker is fake coming up with clown lyrics, Shit like like crank that, DICKHEAD SHIT!

LUPE PISS ON HIM!, Lupe is too much for fuckin soulja boy!

I hope that was mad sarcasm.

[obunkystaind]

& thts why Hip-Hop has problems w/ unity. just look at these comments. gosh, why can't we all just drop our emotional baggage & accept each other.

[sokrispy7]

lets soulja make his money...if johnny knoxville and his boys can eat a piece of shit and make a milli then let soulja make his music...now aint i rite?

[TheDropout13]

I didn't honestly hear what the hell Lupe were saying, but I know that he's alot better than that piece of shit Soulja!

[nailsthesoxfan]

Lupe started with this...then destroyed him with Super Lupe Rap.

[iJeerk]

you people dont like soulja boy because yall white trash so e a d (no racial)

[zayvya3]

Damn Lupe U dissed Soulja Son

[ThinkB4Youspeak313]

OHHH SHIT LUPE!!!!!! Why did he throw that "supposedly" devil horn hand sign at the end. You scarin me Lupe, if that illuminati, O.T.O shit is really real, then i hope hes not in that shit. If he is.....damn....wtf man?

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@ThinkB4Youspeak313 devil horns has fuck all to do with illuminati how stupid are you.

[bztvp]

@ThinkB4Youspeak313 Come on man...people been throwing that up for decades lol It's been a rock thing that had nothing to do with the illuminati. People try to get all deep and have you reading into stuff that even they that be posting will admitt they have no real proof too. Don't buy it if you can't prove it. Just know where you stand, and he's not illuminati. lol

[QueenJai112]

@bztvp I agree with you

[bztvp]

@QueenJai112 gracias.

[QueenJai112]

@bztvp You're welcome

[fearofapharoh]

I love how he compared him to "THE RETARDED STEP COUSIN" lmao. he gave him props and dissed him at the same time.

[imking90bro]

#Soulja Boy SUCKS!!!

[turnipdaisy]

i can imagine how the bitch talking in the backround looked like. someone id like to slap.

[greenzkid51692]

lupe is just being respectful becuz nno matta how

garbage soulja boy is as a lyricist. its still hard work. puttin out rap music...

[enviops]

Soulja boy IS real hip hop. He nigga-rigged a career. That's soooo hip hop. He's a hip hop dancer. You know what happened to the breakers and all them? Those dudes couldn't make money dancing, so they used their ear for catchy shit to become emcees. Think MC Hammer. They're not super-lyrical. They don't rep the intellectual base of hip hop and they don't need to. Shit, historically, they were there first. Blame the industry for pimping the mansion of rap as a two bedroom crackhouse.

[ghostlysk8er96]

lupe all day soulja aint real hip-hop go suk a dick soulja fans

[d0peboimagic2]

i couldnt even understand anything

[ger718]

[nottttttttt]

@BBoiiLite Get the hell outta here!! Didn't Soulja fetus get punked in his house for his chain last year. That dude, and plenty of others from the South, are killing hip hop!!!

[BBoiiLite]

@nottttttttt I don't give a fuck what you say. You just on the outside looking in on a situation you and i know nothing about. Fuck that "killing" hip hop shit cause as far as i'm concerned jay-z, weezy, kanye all respect soulja boy. You're just a internet thug who wants to be in his position. Haters like you are a small price to pay for millions of dollars. Quit hatin lil nigga

[larwil98]

@BBoiiLite man hop off soulja boy nuts what the fuck u doin arguin for the sake of a nother nigga? u wanna suck his dick or somthin? soulja boys muic is garbage i gotta admit he makin money and i respect him for that but his music sucks

[larwil98]

@BBoiiLite u the one ridin some body nuts fuckin faggot

[YoungFlawlessGang]

idk why people keep sayin soulja aint a real rapper...he never said he was....errbody noes he's just an entertainer....duh

[playboibunny33]

Soulja boy is an entertainer..

lupe fisicao is an artist..

[Imortals300]

haha and i guess lupe dont think this anymore considering he decided to destroy soulja boy and i think its a joke that soulja boy sells more whereas lupe is clearly far more talented

[kmax1223]

this is just lupe being lupe. positiveness is what he goes by... he's just showin some love guys relax

[0wnij]

and now soulja bitch dissed lupe...

[SatoriFlame]

Lupe is my dude and all but iCant go with him on this on... at all....

[Zulluhead]

@SatoriFlame You do realise he said: "We have to accept our retarded cousins though" ? which is a direct hit at Solja

[SatoriFlame]

@Zulluhead lol iDidn't even listen enough to the end... haha iHear it now!

[Zulluhead]

@SatoriFlame I'll assume you take back what you said :D

[SatoriFlame]

@Zulluhead lol yesss yes yessss! 177% .

[cswilkins]

Lupe is an intelligent, respectful human being. I still hate Soulja Boy's music. Not the person, but the product.

[Longshot32]

soulja boy sucks at everything hip hop EXCEPT he is one smart guy. he makes millions bc he has the buisness side down. so even though he is dumb as fuck, he makes good buisness decisions

[FreshtoDeath90]

never thought i would ever say i disagree wit lupe but i do..

[hewenthatway]

Nas nd Pac are rap, Biggie & Jay-z are hip-hop...wtf is Soulja Boy

[PTSO09]

@hewenthatway annoying haha

[Browntought88]

@hewenthatway how the fuck are you classifying those 4 rappers, there all hip hop you fuck head

[dismissed7]

@hewenthatway That is a good example...

[NaiJorJul]

How can someone claim him hip hop or rap? he's more like hip cock and crap. seriously. mainstream can go suck it.Lupe and so many other underated real hip hop/rap artists are so slept on.

[Airbornebull]

Seems all the good rappers co sign soulja boy. lol Only rappers that say bad things are washed up. Why is that? lmao

[InkGraff]

Soulja Boy made (14) accounts to dislike this

[WanderingSamura1]

I agree, Lupe has a good point.

[Donnomercy]

lupe is MR..mildly retarded...wtf

[LilDtherapper]

Lupe Fiasco supports Soulja Boy???? He makes fun of whack commerical rappers all the time and SOulja Boy is the exact manifestation of that. Lupe only supports him bc hes a kid making money. He knows hes whack as what but he aint knocking his hustle. I wish he did though, it would put mainstream in its place if someone as great as Lupe pointed out someone as whack as Soulja Boy was terrible

[slicvic2012]

@LilDtherapper He states that soulja boy is RAP not HIP HOP. There's a clear distinction between the 2.

[Gen3ralGrimReaper]

damn so many rappers talking shit about Soulja Boy. They are some real rappers. Those who sided with Soulja Boy fall in the same catagory as a fuck up

[fuckhatasyadig]

soulja boy is basically nothing but a lone hype man. flavor flav couldnt really rap but he was a damn good hype man. and news flash nobody is buying soulja cds anymore because he's just boring now. i know people get sensitive when it comes to hiphop but damn look at rock its dozens of genres of rock but you see less people complaining about it they just listen to what they want to listen to

[fuckhatasyadig]

yall need to stop getting on lupes case about souljaboy because first of all soulja boy didnt kill hiphop if you really believe he did you had no love for hiphop in the beginning second i personally think soulja boy cant rap either BUT doesnt mean he cant get any type of support(even thought he does suck ) if thats what soulja boy wants to do thats just what he wants to do dont blame him blame his retarded fans.continued

[renegadecerebrater]

why do you remain persistent in support rappers who lack individuality,passion.and are more concerned with the number of records being sold then number of hearts being touched

[musiqhotshot]

ok to al of you people who sayin lupe is on some dumb shit yall on some dumb shit. yall mad at him just cause he won't be a hater. yall are haters. i don't like soulja boy. yeah i think he killed hip hop too. but when i think about it. soulja boy ain't had shit to do with ruinin hip hop it was his dumb ass fans. and basically what lupe is sayin is that hip hop comes in all shapes and forms and is supposed to relate to everybody. thats just my opinion

[Domskater55]

@musiqhotshot preach homie preach

[1halfmanhalfamazing]

LUPE LOST SOME MAJOR POINTS FOR ENDORSING THAT SOULJA BOY BULLSHIT!

[RealHipHopTunes]

why are people defending wack rappers? if they don't have talent, they're wack , period

[R3rt0b]

i get what lupe say'n never looked at it like dat.

[Ethical08]

he's probably just saying it for the sake of peace. cus soulja girl flips out and acts like a 5 years and complains on his twiiter page.

[SilentBat]

I try to pretend he never said this.

[eleckson]

@SilentBat definitely not lupe. It's a robot. *tries to believe own words*

[embelem1]

@SilentBat

Dont know why ppl are giving thumbs up to this comment LU is simply saying that Soulja Boy is the retarded step cousin of hip hop...meaning that he is god awful but we have to accept him as being part of hip hop on some level because the music he makes is still associated with the genre. LU is NOT saying that he actually "likes" the music of Soulja Boy in any way, shape, or form

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

@SilentBat I try to pretend he said more of this. Fuck shitty music.

[Guzzy91]

What the fuck how can a man like Lupe support a bitch like Soulja Gay??

[THEHERSHKING]

@Guzzy91 he's not supporting just Soulja Boy, but hip-hop, he doesnt want it to die, so he trys to stop the hating

[trudon]

wtf is lupe talking about...i like lupe but dis was bullshit

[blackchaos666666]

retarded step cuzzin pwn

[XDosShane]

Soulja boy does a unique form of music that got some people buzzing like flies, just not sure what to call it>>

[RealHipHopTunes]

@XDosShane it's called music for retards

[dhowa862]

This sounded more like a respectful dis to soulja boy (who sucks). correct me if i am wrong

[itsgoind]

speakin the muthafuckin truth bjacobs.

[bjacobsdabest123]

Hell yeah man

People is so fucking ignorant and they don't recognize good rap when they hear it.

People be like Lil Wayne the best. Then I be like how is he the best. Then they be like he has the most money and he is the best. I be like WTF. They don't have a good argument.

[PrInCeFlOrIdA]

@bjacobsdabest123 lmaoo exactlyy...

[bjacobsdabest123]

Word

[Sinclaird23]

so i guess any rapper who is main stream doesn't make real hip hop huh?? and rappers who are low key are the "true artist", thank you to all the wayne haters for explaining that to me... but please, try a lil diversity in ya life first, im not a big fan of wayne but... when your good, your good.

[wonggongs]

@Sinclaird23 and lil wayne definantly isnt good.

[Stashhousemoney]

Um yeah under ground shit iz true shit but corrupt radio and cencorship programs dont support them so you never get to hear the Real meaning of being a Artist

[GreatestCreation909]

NOT TRUE. You can be mainstream and a true artist.

You become garbage when you just regurgitate words from other rappers thinking that is what people want to here. Lil Wayne, Soulja boy, Young Dro, that dumbass nigga who sings "your a jerk". All that bullshit ass music. All of them have no soul.

Like Prodigy said, "Just because you black don't mean you have soul."

[cookiesncreme99]

Rap is Hip Hop.

[FreshtoDeath90]

fuck soulja..lupe is the new hip hop

[tclokes]

get that soulja boy money my nigga.....being deep, get you deep in debt.

[quanthareal1]

fuck that shit

[Matija10]

typical pussy bitch talking in the background

[sofakingey]

soulja boy sucks?

[pingvang1234]

soulja boys wack

[PrInCeFlOrIdA]

@Matija10 lmao i kno

[InkGraff]

@Matija10

Daaaamn right son

[grwef]

Lol, lupe's like the hip-hop jesus, he could've said something reeeeeeally bad about soulja boi if he wanted to, but he's "no, my children..turn the other cheek."

[bjacobsdabest123]

Or Lupe could be hip-hop Islamic profit that is all about peace because he is Muslim.

[ballpark4]

soiljah boy has an interveiw or something speaking on the industry and why his music stinks.Stating that all he wants to do is make fun music and once that song became a big hit he signed and he seen the real side of the industry and he dont like it at all look it up you'll find it im sure...

[wiiboy555]

What Lupe says on this vid is that we should accept him, but that every now and then you have to just accept your "retarded cousins". lol

i wish Lupe next move should be him makin a diss track dissin the hell outta soulja boy and make the diss track 3 times stronger then "Ether" then next thing u know soulja boy's career is over :D

[wiiboy555]

"retarded step cousin"*

[Chriskeegan11]

ha he should diss wayne

lupe would kill

[wiiboy555]

yea! :D

fuck the bitch @ the begging of this vid

[bjacobsdabest123]

Lupe would annihilate Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne would have his usual brain washed followers on his side. But Lupe brings a new style to rap and brings back the original rap at the same time. When Lupe raps he tells stories that relates to only cool people and people with imaginations. Lil Wayne first is a faggot, secondly he raps about the same shit on different beats. Also that nigga always talk about swagger, money, cars, cloths, and gangs nd shii. Lupe is better than Lil Wayne.

[cookiesncreme99]

i agree 100%

Lupe Fiasco > 10000 Lil Waynes.

Sleezy cant see Lupe

[bjacobsdabest123]

People don't understand that what Lil Wayne rap about is negative and Lupe is cool and positive in his raps. Since I live in the ghetto nd shii alot of people think I am crazy because I say Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Nas, nd other Ghost Writers are better than Lil Wayne and his crew. I know I'm right though. They think which ever rapper has the most money than they are the best. They are retarded, because in the end of the day they will just be as dumb as Lil Wayne.

[cookiesncreme99]

i know right.

Money doesn't mean make the artist.

skills do. remember the phrase

'dont believe the hype'

like what Ludacris says "real Rappers do it for Hip Hop not the money"

[bjacobsdabest123]

Hell yeah

That phrase is the best because rappers now a days just do it for the money.

It is all about skills, but people still be like if Lil Wayne don't have skills than why do he have so many fans, and money.

All I say is that, he will always have his dick riders with him that think he is the best rapper but truthfully he really isn't, and he has alot of dick riders so he has alot of money.

[cookiesncreme99]

i'll have to disagree with you on your firs

sentence. theres alot of Rappers who do it for Hip Hop instead fof the money.

Immortal Technique (thats why he's not signed to a major label), Lupe Fiasco,

The Game (trying to bring back westcoast Hip Hop), Papoose, and a

bunch of other underground artists

[bjacobsdabest123]

Well when I say "rappers now a days" I mean rappers that is more famous like 50 Cent or Lil Wayne. I know there is more rappers out there that do it for Hip Hop, but they aren't really famous because alot of people love money and if you always rap about it than you will become more famous for it. Unlike other rappers that are really talented, and educated and rap about life, that don't really become that famous because they don't always rap about money like garbage rappers that is famous.

[InkGraff]

soulja boy AINT rap..nor hip-hop

he a punk who says up to 5 words all ova again

every last song

[TRU2Sk9ng1992]

@InkGraff THANK YOU!!!

[InkGraff]

you welcome lol

[jRandom85]

@InkGraff

Look at it like this...James Brown did the same exact thing back in the day (saying 5 words over and over) and now he is seen as the "Godfather of Soul"

>_>

[InkGraff]

indeed..but godfather of SOUL

Soulja boi himself think he does hip-hop

and the elements of it are the instrumental and not even rapping, but MCing which consists of lyrical giftedness-5 words isnt even ok at that perspective no? James Brown got famous for his music because he did it with his full dedication and his heart..i guess thats why its called soul. Soulja boi just in in for the money, he doesnt care even if his songs are good-he happy when the majority of tasteless people buy his music

[YUNGSTACKZBOY]

@InkGraff ND U BET NOT SAY LIL WAYNE IS DA BEST RAPPER CUZ HE DO DA SAME THNG

[SxeBenji181]

@InkGraff Tha Joker made soulja boy :P

[Spimon]

lmao at the fake bitch in the begining

[wiiboy555]

i kno bitch is like he is not hip hop and then i like him tho lol wat a fake bitch lupe should just fuck her up wit the mic stand lol

[JonesDemeanor]

He respect him as a person respect him for doing his thing. basically killing the rumors. I personal don't like souljah boy my damn self but hey you can respect someone as a person and not respect the person's music and somethings they do at the sametime.

[tohmtohm2]

he's subtely making fun of that dumbass, lupe has class

[ItsMikeyyyg]

accept your retarded step-cousin, owned

[etrnlchaos]

What the fuck lupe? Cmon, usually I can agree with what you say but Soulja boy is fucking GARBAGE.

[Macgunnny]

what was he smoking? Soulja boy doesnt even rap

[reiiiTube]

Did you not hear him? "sometimes you gotta accept your retarded step cousin" hahaha

[elcuco88]

Y'all must have selective hearing lol. He ain't sayin it's good music, but it's still Hip-Hop whether you like it or not. He also refers to him as a retarded step cousin incase ya didn't catch on...

[dgreen305]

soulja boy aint rap neither...

[LethalJizzle]

0:49 we gotta accept our retarded stepcousins sometimes.

[Swif41]

WTF?! c'mon lupe are you fuckin serious?! soulja boy is like that kid who copies off your test in high school nigga got no talent!

[xfactor0693]

that's why he calls him his retarded stepcousin

[BannanaQ]

illuminati!

[oblambo]

NOOOOOO! Lupe one of the greatest mc's ever and he says that SOULJA BOY is hip hop? What the hell is he doing?

[Caveman90210559]

lol. in a way, it sound like he was dissin soulja boi wit da "retarded step-cousion" line XD

[cubanman407]

with out "rappers" that soulja boy lupe would just be another rapper.

[kingphenonmenal]

lupe u still numba 1 mc but supporting faggot boi why lupe why

[giuring1]

yoooooooy soulja boy is what hip hop needs right now...kuz i know everyone here knows that hip hop aint that big like it was 1 year ago..........LUPE FIASCO IS MY FAVOROITE RAPPER

[ikewrizzle]

hiphop aint that big, but thats partially cuz Soulja Boy opened the door for a bunch of random ass to get in the game. All niggas gotta do nowadays is make up a stupid ass dance on a good beat!

Hiphop is getting weaker cuz its getting too commercial, and these fad dance songs are complete commercial bullshit!

Lupe Fiasco = anti-commercialism! Best rapper alive!

[hanjra]

hhez speakin da truth soulja boi iz hip hop.. like it or not

[r1p00pk]

naw man soulja boi is rap

hes all commercial and mainstream

hip hop is what you got in the 90s

raw beats , raw lyrics

just straight hip hop

[stressthaking09]

I respectfully disagree. I can't understand shit he's saying. But then again, why would I care to listen to garbage anyway.

[saggypantz]

soulja boy, is bringin hip-hop down what the f*** is he want in the hip-hop world na mean?

while lupe, lupe's going to be legend and the best always GO lupe!! :)

2R

[Gammakilla]
