Lupe Fiasco Criticizing Violent music; Refers to 50, Eminem

[Atone]

i need to listen to some of Lupe's music

[Mr. Porter]

Anyone who says 50 Cent doesn't glamorize the "gangsta" lifestyle is in denial. 50 Cent raps about "hunting and ducking a nigga down like it's a sport," and "getting tired of looking for you and spray your mama crib and let your ass look for me" to sound cool, not to rap about his troubled, violent past. That being said, I generally like 50 Cent, at least his pre-Curtis stuff, but Lupe has a point.

[Kill You]

Dear Lupe, you really are bipolar. Back in 09 you were kissing Em's butt saying he's the greatest rapper of all time and now this?

I'm a huge fan but the shit you've been saying for the last 2 years has been nothing but disappointing to me. Get back to rapping and quit this stupid shit.

[Slim Fiasco]

I have to disagree with Lupe on this one. It's mainly about good parenting and you can't blame it on music/video games/movies. And if there are circumstances that give parents problems, or if they don't really know what to do, then the reason for that is something else. We should look at society and people on a personal level. I'm an avid GTA fan, as well as Slim Shady stuff; and I've never even been in a fight.

drunk? lol

hes got it backwards

[the real slim shady]

I got in more fights before i started listening to hip hop music. Only a correlation but its worth mentioning, hip hop doesnt cause violence. Maybe if someone is angry then rap music could just make them more angry, to the point they do something, but rap music isnt the cause.

What a 'tard.
