In an interview, MoonDawg said he and Lupe were never really close, but he took the chance to drop it without any blessing. He did his best to make it "dope-sounding" and draw traction towards Fiasco's upcoming Lasers album. When Fiasco heard it, MoonDawg recalled there being initial displeasure. A few years later, he got on radio and Fiasco came on the station to be interviewed. They acknowledged each other, and Fiasco stated that the project did sound dope, being on good terms."#SoolRadio Segments: DJ MoonDawg on His Controversial Lupe Fiasco Mixtape.". YouTube.
