Fiasco noted to Loud and Quiet of his 2010 song, "B.M.F. (Building Minds Faster)," which freestyles over Ross' "B.M.F (Blowin' Money Fast): "Gangsta rap is entertaining and I come from that, so I can relate to what Rick Ross is saying. Do I combat it? Yes. When he made 'Blowing Money Fast' did I make 'Building Minds Faster'? Yes I did. Because I don't want my son saying that he wants to be [Detroit drug lord] Big Meech or [Chicago gangster] Larry Hoover, and I don't want your son saying that. I want him to have the opportunity to say, 'I wanna be Malcolm X or Martin Luther.'"Stubbs, Stuart (February 25, 2011). "Lupe Fiasco Isn't Retiring, but the Making of His Third Album, 'Lasers', Almost Made Him Wish That He Were". Loud and Quiet.
