Lupe Fiasco vs MTV


Just in case you were wondering what's been going on w/ Lupe and MTV on twitter here's the breakdown.. MTV wrote an article that insulted Lupe, as would any rapper, by giving him "tips" to be successful. Oh the irony of that article smh.. Here's an excerpt:

5. Repair your image on the rap blogs
We’re not sure if you know this or not, but most of the rap blogs seem to hate you. You don’t seem to care, which is cool, but in today’s hip-hop culture, you need the blogs to love you (or, at the very least, to blog about you!) in order to be successful. That’s just the way it is. If you can’t stand a particular blogger, you don’t have to cater to him or her. But find a couple you do like and serve them up some fresh material. (P.S. If you want RapFix to do it, just say the word!)
6. Embrace your leaked records
No rapper wants their new songs leaked onto the Internet. It’d be crazy to try and convince you or any other rapper to be happy about it. But if it happens, it happens. Rather than throwing dirt on your own songs or chastising the world when a record leaks, accept it and move on. That’s what we call free publicity, sir.
