WELP.. That didnt take long.. Lupe responds..
Lupe Fiasco experienced something of a backlash from some hip hop fans and superproducer Pete Rock for sampling the Pete Rock & CL Smooth classic "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" Despite the outrage on some quarters that he would use such an iconic song for his new single "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)," Lupe explained how and why he jumped at the chance to do the song.
"All the credit goes to my partner and manager Chill, he just felt like it was time to bring back a joint," he said. "Go back and take one of the iconic records of hip-hop and put a new spin on it and put it back out there. I spit on it a couple times before, some mixtape stuff back in the day, Chill felt it needed a bigger look than that."
Lupe is currently prepping his fourth album Food & Liquor II for release.
Sooo.. there it is.. what yall think??
