Talk:Lupe Fiasco

message: This wikipedia article states that he believes that "Palestinians have pushed moderate Israelis too far," which is drawn from this Guardian article.. However, that article issued a correction for this statement, noting that it was an incorrect representation. 
In reality, Lupe Fiasco has criticized Israel for its stance toward Palestine, and has explicitly supported Palestine, for example as attested in this article from the Jerusalem Post.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19C:4600:5640:656A:C604:12EE:9007 (talk) 04:01, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

message: A lot of this article sounds like it was written by someone whose first language isn't English. The info is worthwhile but the writing is often grammatically messed-up in an ESL kind of way (e.g. "the delay of the release for the album remains to be unclear thus resulted in fans later putting together an online petition demanding that Atlantic Records release Lasers.") or just a little strange. It would be nice if a native English-speaker who can edit locked posts could go through this whole article and make it sound a bit more natural. 24.57.9.7 (talk) 06:23, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Where it says he learned about rap, it says he was first put off by the vulgarity of NWA's lyrics, then was turned on to the lighter side of rap in 1996 when listening to Nas' album at the age of 17. But in 1996 he would have been 14, assuming we have his correct date of birth. Am I missing something? Also under influences section, Lupe reference to Street Fighter in Gold Watch is improperly quoted it is stated that he hates Zangief not Vega in the song.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jed Bartlet (talk • contribs) 20:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Don't meet the notability standard without a reliable third party source or mention. As it is, every time they have been added they are backed only with references from Yo!'s own site. They have not been covered or reported by any other media judging by Googling. I don't think they are notable enough for inclusion without some sort of reliable confirmation that they are trusted or respected.

message: "Prominent hip hop mogul Jay-Z describes him as a "breath of fresh air" in a new hip hop world characterized by mainstream pop and glamour, a sharp contrast with the widespread lyricism-focused rap of the 1990s, and critics have called him the "Hip-Hop Generation's Next Vanguard.""
First off, the lead sentence describing Jay-Z as a "prominent hip-hip mogul" is giving him undue weight in an article not about Jay-Z. Readers can just go Jay-Z's page and learn about him, which is why his name is wikilinked. Second, following Jay's quote calling Lupe a breath of fresh air, I highlighted the following, because it is either the rest of Jay-Z's praise that did not continue to carry quotation marks, giving a reader the impression it is the article's author(s) giving their own opinion, or it really is an opinion added by an editor, which does not belong in an article. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 04:14, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Good article

message: This was a really long paragraph that I think is vandalism, but it's sourced...weird.
On October 21, 2010 MTV released an article on their website title “Dear Lupe Fiasco: 10 Tips To Make LASERS Successful”. The article consisted of content that could be considered degrading or slander toward Fiasco. The article said things like, “Lupe Fiasco did the impossible recently. He got a release date for LASERS!…There are plenty of things he needs to do if he wants Atlantic to give him the chance to release any more albums after this one.” The list’s tips consisted of: 
1. Keep recording songs for LASERS 
2. Call Kanye West, like, NOW 
3. Drop a mixtape. Immediately. 
4. Stop participating in supergroups 
5. Repair your image on rap blogs 
6. Embrace your leaked records 
7. Be open to trying everything to land a hit single 
8. Take cues from your labelmate B.o.B. 
9. Appreciate your old fans—but try to find some new ones .
10. Keep rapping your ass off. 
Many of this tips also contained content that could be seen as slanderous or uncalled for, such as, “Do you really think Atlantic—or any other record label, for that matter—is going to put out an album by either of those two supergroups anytime soon? Yeah, we don't think so…We're not sure if you know this or not, but most of the rap blogs seem to hate you.” The article also contained content that could be seen as pushy by telling Lupe to sell out and get a hit single. The article reads, “You passed over on B.o.B's "Nothin' On You.”…be open to do anything you can to get that hit…Speaking of B.o.B, look no further than B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray to hear how you can make the album you want to and keep your label happy…Use that as your blueprint.” To some people this is telling Lupe to completely sell out and only do mainstream music because B.o.B’s last album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, was chastised by his fans for being to mainstream and poppy; some believe B.o.B sold out.http://www.musicvice.com/reviews/albums/b-o-b-the-adventures-of-bobby-ray-290410 MTV then finished the interview but saying, “But you also need to branch out and realize that not everyone is happy with the way you've handled your label politics.”http://rapfix.mtv.com/2010/10/21/lupe-fiasco-lasers-10-tips/ Soon after the MTV article “Dear Lupe Fiasco: 10 Tips to Make LASERS Successful” released Lupe tweeted back these comments, “Oh snap…MTV (illuminati’s favorite network) back on the attack…why can’t y’all just chill out? Salacious banality @ the speed of light? I think I’ve been very good natured with you. I personally know several employees of your company. You guys know me as well. I’m confused. Where is the true music journalism??? where is Suchin?!! What happened? Where are the honest critiques of cultural expression? For it’s not about being RIGHT it’s about being HOT Fame over self-awareness and virtue Hedonism over self respect Celebrity over cerebral. A destroying force in our culture and society just like rest of the useless vapid spectacles that pour out of our tv’s and radios. What are we supposed to be learning from you? What is your point? Do you have a point beyond corporate sponsored distraction? Your a materialistic shell of your former self that can only identify with celebrity pageantry and instant gratification. Corporate garbage pushing plastic lifestyles and wasteful, destructive behavior into the brains of the youth of the world. So when your relevance thins in2 a whisper & the stock price collapses and you have 2 come 2 grips with the mess you made. I’ll be here 4 ya. We’ll be here. With hands full of baby powder 2 smack some sense back into your body & a warm shoulder to cry on. We want the REAL MTV back!”. One writer for ology.com responded by saying, “I can't blame the guy, because the article was a bit pushy, listing suggestions such as “Call Kanye West, like NOW," “Repair Your Image on Rap Blogs," and “Be Open to Everything to Land a Hit Single” -- essentially everything that you shouldn't tell an artist of Lupe's caliber, and everything we could expect from the despicable music network that MTV has become.”http://www.ology.com/music/read-lupe-fiascos-brutally-genius-twitter-attack-mtv

message: It can be found online, that Lupe is engaged yet he does not talk about his private life or he says that he has a girlfriend.  However on his official facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/help/?mail_sent#!/profile.php?id=526373373, we can clearly see he is engaged.  The woman that he is engaged to, same woman from his Paris, Tokyo video, a Miss Marquita McCurry, who founded his LupeFiascoStore and often seen backstage on tour with him, and states that she is a medical esthetcian and aspiring jewler, this can be found on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/help/?mail_sent#!/profile.php?id=100000326985546; it is rumored they have been together for 7 years or that they have been together since the beginning...of what I don't know?.  I believe celebrities need to stop the charade and be honest about their relationship status but instead they make themselves appear "single" to a certain extent to keep the females "wishing...and dreaming" and interested; most men do not care. I'm sure if Lupe has dated this woman for this long that despite his claim to be a devout muslim, Im sure they have had intercourse over these 7yrs.  I'm not hating on them, just dont like being lied to by celebs...and although he is suppose to be this deep, pro-black rapper and devout muslim, his fiance' is pretty much like a lighter version of Ciara and just as image n materialistic like all the females of today...I would of expected a natural or even muslim looking woman since he talks about it a lot.  I think his relationship status should be added to the profile and you have the links for it.

message: Lupe Fiasco never said that Islam would "conquer the world" he was just asked this question in this article; https://thegrio.com/2014/10/04/lupe-fiasco-islam-world/ and simply replied "Yes". That doesn't mean he said that himself. 82.2.226.99 (talk) 11:14, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I must be missing something, but Lupe Fiasco is not transgender, so why is his categories stating women as well as male?  I am trying to clean up Women record producers category, and this is a prime example of how it is a mess.  Let me know if I can remove the wrong gendered categories, or someone else can, thanks.

message: I found a YouTube video (linked here) that features Lupe Fiasco teaching at MIT, assumingly in 2022. It is marked with a Creative Commons license, but I don’t know which license it is. If it is a reusable license, then I believe it should replace the image in the infobox, moving the current image down to the section 2012–2013: Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album.
