Lupe Fiasco Interview w/Big Tigger Day After the Election

[QUISETOONIGGA]

Jesse Jackson was crying bcuz he got Martin killed and was doing grimy shit just to become president but they decided he wasn't the rite fit so he was angry and jealous of Obama

[CarsonsVideos]

He's only half black!

[viewingthetube45]

Lupe doesn't support Obama. Listen to his interview with Tavis Smiley. Obama voted with Bush and McCain to give trillions to banks. Obama = another wall street puppet being a parasite off the people to bailout wall street. But the public will be dumb enough to keep voting Republican & Democrat. More War, More Debt, More unemployment, more inflation, the rich get richer and most vote keep it this way.

[viewingthetube45]

@Sk8erGirl858 Did you read my WHOLE post? I didn't say Lupe voted. One thing that sickens me about our current society are the self absorbed people always out to try to prove others wrong when they in fact are wrong.

[coopedupinculture]

yeah I don't think Lupe is a big obama fan, wasn't he going to vote hilary at the time?

[purple0chic]

@coopedupinculture he doesn't vote

[35654123]

gaza strip was gettin bombed obama didnt say shit

[idoforensics]

@xanxnguyenx Hear his new song Words I Never Said? Still think he supports Obama? He just supports the movement against our nation's racist past and the meaning Obama's election has for the country and the African American race

[geter2hot]

Lol. Funny how Jesse Jackson can move him but the fact that a black man giving the speech of a lifetime can't. Nigga's like Lupe trip me out. He claims and acks like he is so smart but clearyly he doesn't know what he is talking about. He needs to do his research on Jesse Jackson. Also funny how he acting as if he supports Obama on this interview but comes out and says that he didn't vote for him. And you all call him REAL.

[franciso7]

Well seems like Lupe was right.

[23aballa23]

this is messed up...if lupe says it its whack...if a white guy said it he would be racist wtf

[ethancoean]

@Yip221 - I personally use tubemusicdownloader com and have never payed for my music.

[sibsthc19]

LUPE IS THE DON only 1 rapper rate more da him n dats immortal technique

[dopedope22]

@sibsthc19 Yea Man Immortal Techinque is the man

[yakkenyi]

wtf is so controversial

[ar2thethurr]

i know right its seriously no big deal,

[wetakinovaa]

put earphones in

lupe comes out the left and big tigger comes out the right

it should work with speakers too

[LunaTikLoa05]

Fuk leav him alone hes expressing his opion everyone is different. Why everyone hate if they not the same as u. hes still a good rapper

[Renji1011]

naw.....lupe isnt an idiot

[lreco02]

Lupe is one of the smartest rappers out there aside from the crap I hear on the radio today he is ONE of the last

[MROHIOSTATE]

I dont see what the big deal is the man said how he felt I dont see what the big deal is. He felt that it wasnt inspiring neither did I. so leave my mans alone I mean im happy hes president but the speech wasnt all that u hip.

[Buttertheclothes777]

Im white and i voted for Obama...The reason i did was because through he words i felt the need to change myself and become a better person....and that alone no matter what he does from this day forward was worth my vote. I think my vote brought us closer together as people...Honestly im sick of Racism! Im tired of being seen as an enemy rather than a brother in the eyes of God. We need to stop hating each other and start lending out arms and hands to those who seek them regardless of difference.

[3oooomar]

miss rap city 4 real man :( i wish it comes back there are some real underground cats

[Ashedgle]

I love how Lupe was the only one to acknowledge that without the white people behind Mr. PRESIDENT Barack Obama :-) it wouldn't be possible

[crazycoolone]

I LOVE the fact that Lupe spoke.

He is such an intelligent brotha!

I LOVE YOU, LUPE!!!!

[kunniye]

THANKU!

my thoughts exactly...cant a person who happens to be a celebrity (lets not forget they'r an individual first, say wut they mean?!

wah z hell ppl? c'mon!

[bobbystead]

We need a plan. Not hope. Hope in one hand, shit in the other. What are you left with?

[xanxnguyenx]

how is this a controversy???

he's just stating an OPINION. he didnt think his speech was inspiring. so what. he still supports obama.

geez. he's just being sincere.

[wellcommaboz]

i thought lupe supported clinton over obama?

[thenicerevolution]

thank you, lupe! was totally thinking the same thing...doesn't mean i don't support/like obama

[xiilmaticx06]

yeah true i miss rap city to i guess there isnt enough real rap music for it anymore

[tgarland05]

i agree lupe!!!!

[yoyoseeme09]

his acceptance wasn't moving because it wasn't hope hope hope. barack had to be honest and let people know that the journey ahead is not going to be easy.

[louierich99]

I gotta say that I felt the same way Lupe did, what really got me all choked up was the people's reaction. To me, Barack Obama's speech wasn't that moving.

[RDoubt96]

is this seriuosly a contreversy? Sigh. America, America.

[skippythadon]

There's nothing controversial about what Lupe said. He's being sincere, can't be politically correct all the time.

[TheGrizzLab]

damn, I miss Big Tigger on Rap City

[mycsteezee]

Damn I miss Rap City

[acmilaninho]

Dude is this how democracy works?

[CoonCid]

cum on now honestly lupe's rite,it didn't move me at all one bit either i mean im waitin to see this inauguration an hear his inaugurational speech cause u no its been catchin madd fire bout how this is tha speech to set tha tone of his presidency an go down in history with tha greats like abe lincoln n ronald regan n dwight eisenhower n wen obama finishes im kinda captivated not tht it wus such a good speech but becuase it wus no different from his usuals n iono jus didn't spark an uproar u no

[rowejam072000]

damn dude... you are the only one who actually know whats going on in the big picture, your totally right about it..

[vypog]

weezy is one of the best in the game even lupe can't deny it

[rowejam072000]

what the hell

[madclownace]

Lupe would murder that fuckin crackhead weezy

[vypog]

u know who really thinks outside the box weezy f baby yes? no ?

[babygulley]

weezy sucks

[hughey92]

LUpe wasn't moved, that's his oppinion. I personnaly was, but lupe made some good points. The highest office in the world is held by a black man, and we all need to step up and better things.

[kingnoble9]

fuck outta here

[xonder]

obama's speech didnt move me either. it didnt have to though, the event was enough. it shouldnt be controversial for lupe to say what he means.

[africonaamericono]

omg people just because you dont understand his view point dont mean his ignorant...ignorant is an over used word do people even know what it means? everybody is ignorant about something get over it! but lupe is NOT on this! we all cant have the same emtions about every thing are we WOULD BE ROBOTS! try to get what other people are saying before you call them out. try to understand people's views and what he is trying to get out. but if you dissagre thats ok but dont call him out were not ROBOTS

[kalpal67]

but see thats exactly the backwards kind of thinking that i hate! hillary clinton had 69% of the black vote so for 2 years blacks and everyone else studied obama. they didn't just vote on a whim they intelligently decided he was right for the job. you had the chance to do the same thing but no!everybody else is doing it so they're sleep and i'm not! its okay to be an individual but its not okay to simply go against the grain for no good reason. if u do the right thing u r never a robot

[BigGreg187]

Socialism is a system which industries & social services are publicly & cooperatively owned & democratically controlled with a view to equal opportunity & benefit for all. This is a lie, its equal opportunities & benefits for the rich & famous. The common man aka "middle class" doesn't get opportunities or benefits unless they pay for it while the rich & famous get everything free. They get the tax breaks the medical care basically everything needed to live a happy healthy life while we starve.

[goodgod12321]

he didnt diss noone

[bushybrow06]

I do not feel hi dissed Obama at all here but ot say Jessie Jackson tears meant something is str8t bullshit... this is the same man who said we ought to cut this man's balls off... that's respect...that's passing the torch? Pleeeeeasse. Jessie mad it is not him and if he had been serious about being pres. he would have went on to run for mayor, senator, representative and then try it again since 1988... so no diss here but the bs on Jackson is not real at all. The speech by the was just aiight.

[savior02]

lupe u have disappoited me you dont know shit about politics if obama takes away our guns that is the end of the republic and constitution...hes only talking good about him now to endorse him this corrupt system we have

[kalpal67]

i guess he just tries too hard to go against the grain i mean his whole image is a black guy who can skate and what not. at the begining he endorsed hilary. but he is right about this not being the end all to racism.

[shelana2008]

thank you white folks!!!LOL

[GlacierLong]

Thats funny cause me seeing Jesse Jackson crying did not move me at all...especially after he said that Obama needed his nuts cut off..I see what he's saying though...But all those people truly representing what this country really is and what it could be thats what moved me...

[WalkWalkity]

I think all he said was the speech didnt move him.. Theres nothing disrespectful in that comment. The rest of the conversation is positive toward Obama. People are so damn sensitive... big babies.

[martymar74]

I think the point is that it was unnecessary for him to say that, especially the night of the man's victory. It seems just like with Tribe Called Quest, he'll discredit and throw anyone under the bus just to make his point. That's a bitch move and definitely HATING!. Btw, I hope history has as little respect for him as he did ATCQ.

[beatvenders]

is anyone even listening to the interview? Lupe didnt diss Obama you idiots.

[ThatGirl0609]

Thank you! That is what is making me mad! People can be so stupid! Lupe is praising Obama, talking about how great it was that he met him before the results came in and how Obama in office will impact Black ppl, yet people narrow on a sound bite that they heard Lupe say instead of listening to the entire interview! I found nothing wrong with Lupe saying that he was not move by his speech, that is his opinion! See, this is why ppl aren't real, because when they are, ppl don't know how to react.

[ThatGirl0609]

I love Lupe and Obama!

[Ynhafabs]

Cool

[YoungDeepThinker]

who cares if he said this?wut was so significant or moving about baracks speech anyway?quote something,cuz I surely heard nothing moving.stop worshiping the man becuz hes BLACK.its like"fk u lupe,how dare u say this about our lord barack obama,dont speak out against our lord!"...ppl are starting 2 really annoy me now.u guys act like hes some messiah.

[BigGreg187]

Yo you should see the reaction I get when I mention Obama's socialist ties. People think I speak blasphemy if its not to their liking. I dont care for Obama because I know dudes a puppet. Lupe shouldve called Obama out like he did before in previous videos. Maybe he's not trying to hurt his record sale chances for LupEnd I guess. I hate when these dumb ass kids who dont know shit about politics try to tell me about how Obama is gonna save the world because they voted for him. Fucking morons lol.

[kalpal67]

DUDE WE'VE BEEN WATCHING HIM FOR TWO YEARS!!! what other confirmation do you need that hes legit. explain to me exactly what you think socialism is and why its bad. these bailouts that we participate in are SOCIALISM!!! but they are necessary because of privatization! in other words if all of the country's jobs and resources are controlled by 5% of the people then when those people fuck up everyone is screwed!

[BigGreg187]

No one's been "watching" Obama. You've been PRESENTED to Obama by the media which pretty much put him in office. You only know of the economic issues not his political ones. He has Zbigniew Brzhenzski a CFR scum bag as his foreign advisor. Brzhenzski has been plotting to go to war with Russia for decades. He has Rahm Emmanuel as his chief of staff. Emmanuel spoke with journalist telling them that people ages 18-25 will be military trained whether they want to or not. Still think Obama is good?

[Zelltre]

Man, some people shouldn't be allowed on youtube. EVERYBODY who flipped out cause he said that either didn't listen to what Lupe said fully, or just want a reason to blow something up bigger than it should be.

He just said that Jesse Jackson(a guy who marched with MLK and Malcolm X)crying moved him more than the speech. That's what got to him.

IMO Jesse Jackson shared a spotlight w/BO cause those tears were tears of a successful movement(Civil Rights), struggle, and belief progressing greatly.

[angelo1405]

like i said, if you actually watch the video, lupe wants to see if Obama can "walk the walk" with so much hype surrounding him for the past year.

And lupes an Obama supporter, he even said he wants people to vote for him in his shows wtf you people are taking this out of context, use your head. this is stupid

[Luchini731]

lol lupe dissed the shit outta obama back when the cool came out

[angelo1405]

How did he diss Barack ? I've seen shows where he encourages people to vote for Barack, and even mentioned him in the first album. and with the Big tigga interview, he praises him. i dont get it...

[amirah1011]

Lupe talked about supporting Hillary throughout the primaries. He wasn't always [vocally] in Obama's corner...but he didn't really diss Obama. It was just not too long ago when he started saying a lot of good things about him. That's all I know about that.

btw there's nothing bad about this interview...people just want something to talk about and create drama over.

[kalpal67]

its just because lupe is always rapping about black plight and for him to even seem reluctant to praise obama is ridiculous. pretty soon we will all try to test obamas stripes and not be so quick to cheer, but anyone who truly supported him it is wayyyy too early for that. its not that what he said is bad its just that it contradicts what i've heard in his records so there might even be a hint of jealous.....well maybe just hyperactive envy similar to harold ford's.

[civil15]

I seriously believe what he meant by that to me was the fact that Jesse Jackson'ss crying had moved him so much that all his emotions were cast on that moment as opposed to the acceptance speech. I doubt there was envy, just a more indepth focus on another viewpoint.

[kalpal67]

that statement proves my point. if he simply was MOST moved by jesse jackson crying, why go out of his way to say that obama didn't move him? why not instead say "the speech was good, but what REALLY moved me was... when lupe sees obama on stage he doesn't see himself he sees a black dude that beat him to the punch. its understandable. as a prolific rapper he probably thought of himself as that kind of leader.i guess a little envy never really hurt anyone but it just looks bad on him.

[napoleonblac]

well i do agree with lupe ...ya niggaz is wildin out yall not realizing obama is pushing us toward socialism ...but hey you got to love him cause he black wrong he is a smart dude but got to do your research people ....

[africonaamericono]

everyone has to have the same emotions about the same thing all of the time?

[Jay0929]

See it this way.. he's not hating on the speech or ignorant it's his opinion he saying that he was moved on the effect of the speech than the actual interview

[Nearraen14]

o...i thought it was going 2 b a lot worse than this. I kno Lupe didnt support Obama in the primaries, but ppl made it look like he was not appriciative of Obama.

[kos1288]

LOL people are buggin. He wasn't out of line at all.

[Jay0929]

1st amendment if he's not moved by the speech why you stressing... everybody is entitled to their own opinion! 1

[hiimcliff]

If you have 17 minutes to spare. Listen to the speech again. There is no way any person could say it wasn't moving.

[troysr2005]

Fuck Lupe. He is such a fuckin hater! Im shocked that Yeezy actually associates with dude (Luda is the baby of that hater nigga who married the hater bitch and had hater kids, lol). Ever since he tried to diss Tribe Called Quest this dude gets under my skin. I hope he retires like he said he was.

[yunnsanco59]

what is wrong with yall lol....somebody wasnt moved by his speech so now he is an idiot....damn his speech was straight it wasnt better than the one at the DNC....dude didnt like the speech oh well...shit it moved me when i seen Oprah and Jesse crying cuz it made me think of Martin Luther King and Coretta not here to see this...

[kingchaunc]

How can you not be moved by his speech it was one of the best ever.

[dirtydan2010]

LISTEN TO THE VIDEO!!!! It wasn't negative AT ALL....people just took it out of context, he was moved by Jesse Jackson's tears of Affirmation; not the speech. Keep it real.

[voltronforce5000]

Lupe's heart must be made of stone for not feeling that speech, but that's ok he's still a good dude.

Everything else he said was on point.

[angelo1405]

"this is it, theres no more excuses...this is the time for black people to stand up, and change...i "ain't" thinking about music, im thinking about yo, its time to change the hood, time to change the way you speak..."

lupe speaks the truth

[kdigga]

fuck lupe

[nomeemania]

No! fock you faggot!!

[kdigga]

whatever muthafucka. fuck you and fuck lupe

[kdigga]

"Bottom line though is coming off the heels of a history making victory there is no way Lupes statement will not make him look like a corny hater. Even if he felt that way he should have kept it to himself... As smart as Lupe is, he obviously doesnt understand politics, as demonstrated by this shit and the whole ATCQ fuckery. He sounds like he still aint learned nothing from that. He definitely in the eyes of some has achieved douche status now." so fuck you and fuck lupe.

[troysr2005]

Yes brother, fuck Lupe, that shit he just said was so fuckin ignorant. That sound like some shit a dumb motherfucker stagnated in the hood would say.

[SIMLARRY1]

You right another hater most black people hate on each other and that is sad i hope we get better and I like him i guess i wont dislike him because of it but keep negativity to yourself

[angelo1405]

"fuck lupe" ? where were you in '06 when lupe praises Obama on one of his songs. you didnt know ish about him. Lupes an Obama supporter,hes a chi-town resident, youre just too blind to actually realize it. he knows obama could 'talk the talk', he wants to know if he can 'walk the walk'.

[troysr2005]

Fuck Lupe and his wack music. The best part about his music is the features, production and hooks. He deon't be saying shit worth repeating. Besides dissing Obama is not the only thing this fucker did. HE DISSED THE TRIBE!!! Come on duke, 'the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

[angelo1405]

Ok,as a fanatic of ATCQ, exactly,WHAT DID HE SAY THAT DISSED THE MEMBERS ?tell me..forget the lines ? *gasp* !!! omg,hes perfect, how could he not forget a line and everyone in the world recite it perfectly in throughout their career !kill him !!!

Lupe's a good dude.one of the nicest ones, getting praise from Jigga,Ice T, & others i forgot.a guy like this doesnt deserve this, even when he dissed Nobody.but people are entitled to their own opinions so fine :D

You forgot his Metaphors(failure)

[slimstyle]

if you didn't know Lupe's probbaly the most lyrical rapper that still making songs today.  that plus he never dissed Obama, or The Tribe. He said the speech didn't move him, and that he never really listened to the Tribe that much.

[Nawledge1]

Troy, you're an idiot. He praised Barack through out the entire interview, mentioned the nigga on his first album, encourged people to go vote for him, and he said the speech didnt move him. HOW IS THIS DISSING? He NEVER dissed Tribe. He said he didnt listen to them like that. GASP!! Lets all kill him for not remembering the lines of someone he didnt really listen to!! Fuck outta here, son.

PS: "I pull the plug and I make it drain/until I feel like flowing and fillin it up again"-Dumb It Down

[yungblackpoet09]

lol damn Shyted huh lol

[BigGreg187]

What song did Lupe praise Obama on? There was a previous interview where Lupe dissed Obama. Dude lost mad cool points with this interview. He has songs like "American Terrorist" yet he doesn't fully dig into Obama's character simply because he's black. If Lupe wants to represent the people he shouldn't have ANY racial bias. Obama has endorsements from the same group of criminals backing Bush before during & most likely after his presidency. Makes you wonder which side Obama's really on. Wake up!

[Nawledge1]

How the hell did he lose points? Are you taking away points because he so called "dissed him" or because you think he's prasing him? Which one is it, because I really dont understand your responce.

I support Obama, but I dont think dude is the second coming of Jesus. Thats news channels like NBC. But dude isnt the anti christ either! Go ahead and tell us his socialist ties. Who? Bill Ayers? Rashid Kalidi? Pretty pathetic. If you have 'em, give them to me. I really do want to know. No sarcasm.

[BigGreg187]

David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzhenzski, Warren Buffet, his support for Israeli Zionists is more than enough proof. I dont buy into the messiah & antichrist crap thats all religious fear mongering. I'm just saying Obama is a fucked up dude who is only being used as a puppet to fool the masses into thinking he will bring good change to the world. He is the artificial good guy like Clinton was back in the 90s. Lupe lost points for dissing him in the past then turning around now & praising him.

[Nawledge1]

Thanks. Although we should all know by now that politics is just a minstrel show ran by the NWO.

I'll give you this, you actually know what you're talking about. Every other person I asked that question to basically told me crap, so I commend you. Now I have a question about Israli Zionists. I had a "conversation" with a racist jew a few months back who claims to be a Zionist. He says Obama "hates Jews" and "supports Islam". My question is, which one is it? And, whats so bad about Zionism?

[BigGreg187]

Zionists are racists who use their $ & power to control all aspects of society which now has Obama as their employee. Islam was actually a religion created by the vatican so the islamic religion is just as corrupt as the jewish zionist cult. All religions though good intentioned are controlled by evil men who are put there to divide us & start wars for the NWOs master plan of a 1 world religion & 1 world currency. This is all forseen on the bible which was edited by the romans by the way.

[Nawledge1]

Yeah, we should all know about the NWO's plan. Unfortunately, my friends and family think Im a consperacy nut. I never knew it forseen in the Bible. Can you give me the book and verse? Thanks for the info about Zionists. I never knew what it was. I thought Islam was created by Prophet Muhammed...

[kalpal67]

there is no such thing as a corrupt religion, just corrupt people so cut all that extreme conspiracy shit out! thats why nader always loses. and if you've been paying attention the majority of obama's donations came from the american people so he owes no one! study judaism and islam first before you dismiss them as corrupt you bigot!

[BigGreg187]

Islam was created by the vatican so it is corrupt. Roman Catholic religion which prays to the "virgin mary" is corrupt. Christian religion we know today derives from the Pagan beliefs of ancient egyptians so it is corrupt. Judaism follows the kabbalah which teaches witch craft is also corrupt. Get the picture? None of these religions are good they're just branches of other religions which all stem from the vatican. When Rome took over egypt they also took over our belief system. Read a book sir.

[spaceusagi]

What?

[Nawledge1]

Oh and I am a Christinan, but I only mentioned Jesus and the anti christ, because NBC & many Dems praise this dude like he is the second coming, and Fox News & many Rebs act like the guy is trying to destroy the world like the anti christ would. He's done NOTHING yet. Lets just give the guy a chance to prove himself. An Obama admistration will most likely be a second Clinton administraton. If it goes that way, we really have nothing to fear. Feel me?

[BigGreg187]

Obama has done nothing yet but he's already laying the tracks for WWIII. He wants a surge in afghanistan to apprehend Bin Laden buts thats media bullshit. The REAL reason is because China has grown too big & relies on afghanistan for 7% of its oil. America has been taking over all the oil producing countries so they can isolate China as well as Russia. This is why Obama says he will make peace with iran they are not the enemy same goes for N Korea. Theyre making new alliances for the next war.

[Nawledge1]

All right. No my question is, would'nt McCain have done the same thing?

[madclownace]

troy, I speak for everybody when I say you need to go suck a fat dick.

[troysr2005]

Very mature. Just because I don't agree with you that calls for you to disrespect me? Thats cute.

[madclownace]

Dude, Lupe never dissed Obama and he never dissed the Tribe. His music has way more meaning than just hooks and beats. You disrespected him, now I'm disrespecting you. GO SUCK A FAT DICK.

[jmuckeroy]

lol, im witcha on that fam

[daydreamin09]

yes

[angelo1405]

Hey nigger, if you had a brain, you would actually hear SEE THE VIDEO, and see his shows (which are on youtube) and see that he supports Obama, he just wasnt that moved by his speech, he kept it real, hes not a fake person.

I just wish retarded people like you kill eachother and die out already you know ?

[SIMLARRY1]

You know what you are right at first i was thinking that was a dis but as i read with you wrote you are right lets just stick together and get our communities together. Black people stick together.

[cacaYpipihacediarrea]

lupe fiasco is ignorant. how could you not be moved by Obama's speech? dumb it down.

[cacaYpipihacediarrea]

lupe fiasco is ignorant.  how could you not be moved by Barack Obama's speech. Dumb ass bumb i down

[mastadonia6]

He made a good point because we as african-americans have struggled long enuff & this was sumthing that MLK wouldve been proud 2 see. Everyone that was born b4 our time struggled wit all the racism stuff & Lupe is right that those tears were for those fallen soldiers that couldnt live to see it. I dont care if he cheated on his wife or killed his parents because at the end of the day, he was one of those peoples that suffered during that time

[hiimcliff]

Lupe keeps his crown as the dumbest smart rapper. Obama's speech wasn't moving? Jesse's tears were tears of affirmation? GTFOH!!! Jesse learned NOTHING from MLK. He's a deadbeat dad which is why Obama's words caused him to want to cut off his nuts. He's a jealous hypocrite and his son is a way better man than he would ever be. If Lupe thought Obama's words weren't uplifting then he was only listening with black ears. Rappers are known to be dim bulbs though. BTW, TRIBE CALLED QUEST > fiasco!!!

[masscommlarry]

It wasn't one of his most powerful speeches because his grandmother died.

[slick1hit]

Damn lupe why had to say that bruh,how could you not be moved by barak obama speech the brotha was speakin knowledge,And how could you be moved by jesse jackson bitch ass this is the same nigga that cheated on his wife with his secatary had a baby by her,and on top of said he wants to cut obama balls off and thats the guy that moved you he disgust me

[Plaxico80]

lupe >>>
