Here is our response to Lupe's Super Facts video addressing a comment Myke made when he referred to his favorite artists as "my artists."
He also mentioned that we tend to discuss the artists more than the music sometimes and that the two should remain separate. We give our thoughts on Lupe's Instagram video and respond to his critique of our review style.

About Dead End Hip Hop:
No scripts. It's pure unfiltered hip hop conversations and album reviews. No politics. No BS. We Are The People.
You can't spell Myke without my.

So first it turns out Antwon Fantewon is nazi, now Mike wants to own rappers! Where does it ends?!
Take my upvote

I want to see Myke C Town and Lupe in a sword fight
Yes, for the culture

27:08 - "Dear Lupe, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'." - Myke
The irony in this now
@@fulanalkashmiriwhat was the irony
Feefo: ▪Frantically Stutters▪
Myke: ▪Grunts and Sighs▪
Ken: ▪Gives Bad Advice▪
Beezy: ▪Silence▪
Rod: ▪Laughs Hysterically▪
Suit Up Ken gives outdated advice.
Beezy never says shit except shouting out the producer... But I like his taste in music
lmaooooo
Feefo: BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT, WHY WHY WHY WHY, it bumps in the whip tho
Myke*
Feefo's beard struggling like hell
His eyebrows look dirty for some reason.
Don’t disrespect him dog. He took parts of his eyebrows off and glued them to his cheeks, obviously
its like 7 mustaches randomly placed on his face
With that Paul Pierce beard
That shit definitely doesnt bump in the whip
Feefos beard ain’t cohesive
LMAO
It's a developing story
I'd appreciate if you seperated Feefo's beard from his opinion. k thanks.
I spit out my water bro
D Patel 😂😂😂
Conversations like this are why I like watching yalls videos. It's honest, genuine, and most of all entertaining while still being insightful
Larry Knicks 💯
“Ohhhh this is my show!”
Lupe: You do not own this TV show. You are entitled. This is someone’s art
Christopher Caldwell or " this my song right here". Lupe: this is not your song, you don't own this song or write one note lol
ha!!
Mike shade after he said he didn't watch lupe video fully lol slick
Mr Black I caught that too lol
That was dope
Mr Black He was joking, when he said that.
MYKE BOUT TO DROP A DISS TRACK💯💯
nothing nothing mc danglin balls bout to come out of retirement
nothing nothing lol

Well he is the love child of Joey badass and krs- one

Only thing I don't agree with is that only young people feel entitled. I think that's a general American problem coming from all ages, not just young people.
I've worked in customer service long enough to feel comfortable making that statement. Lol
@@edizzle1791 working in customer services makes you realize they're a lot of assholes
Yeah, customer service shows you there's entitled elders who just don't give a fuck cuz they already lived their life.
Not Americans more like first world kids
Feefo beard having a hard ass time💀💀
allowman65 PLEASE shave November lmao
Myke is right. Hip-Hop is the only music genre that I can't separate the rapper from the music. Now some people do because it's "entertainment". But, people like me who love the Hip-Hop as a whole, I look it as edutainment and stories from personal perceptive.
i pretty much agree but i think its actually like that with every kind of genre... sadly most people are just satisfied with being entertained by idiots that dont even care about their music and arent authentic at all.
hiphophead555 Agreed. Same here
GoodToGo Total agree. I, also, like that with Jazz and Blues.
+hiphophead555 Why Papoose?
I miss the time when record companies and A&R's didn't pretend like they knew what the streets wanted and artist had more room to be expressive and creative. Damn I'm old, I said Record companies and A&R's! Not being able to separate the rapper from the music is by design. Type A rapper is the actor who plays a street role for the public. Pretty harmless except for impressionable minds. Type B is the wannabe rapper who believes the life has to match to shoot em up and always high music. Type B rappers usually find themselves getting killed, dying of overdoses, or killing someone over alleged beef that didn't have to exist. Type C rapper understands the concept of needing to portray an image but carefully chooses image to portray. Type C rapper just want's to make music and buy Mom and Dad that house.
8:49 THAT SHADEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught I’m weak.😂😂
Maybe it's just me, but this whole thing with Lupe seems like a fiasco.
Badum tissssss
no, just no
OMG. I say "good job." Haha.
When you take a wiz, do you get a sense of khalifa?
when you say the mos, is is it falling on def ears?
It's a lot of struggling beards in this video boy. Y'all good?
mrfundamental247 Feefo’s beard looks like it’s still going through puberty
leave kinge alone
no shave november
😂😂😂😂😂😂
mrfundamental247 lmao
Some of these commenters need to give Lupe his proper respect, he made 2 classics and a masterpiece.
he will never get the credit he deserves sadly, but I agree with you, I’d say that F&L the leaked version is a classic if you count it because it had like 8 songs not on the retail
Louis Gregoire t a y is better than his first two albums
Superior 2K YESSS bro leaked food & liquor is his best album ever made
@@foreverkingmvp this aged like milk
Feefo how much do i have to pay you everytime i say this bumps in the whip
Bro I totally gave Feefo cred for the "bump in the whip" category. Lol.
I'm proud of y'all not because the shout out but how far y'all came I've been there since the beginning
"Ownership" of an artist usually happens to new artist who start with a small following. And *stans* feel that their loyalty they had with the artist since they were underground all the way to music stardom, is what they perceive as ownership. Like when you find someone who's super good and you wanna put all of your friends on to this new rapper.
No one goes as far to think the artist owes them respect for supporting them since the beginning, but many artists or entertainers, constantly say "thank you to my fans, who supported me thru the highs and the lows, etc..." so it's not crazy to think some people might think THEY are a very important part of the artist success.
And with the rate off new artists emerging, the easiness to spread the word for a new artist you like thru social media, and the easiness it is to go viral, I think this mentality of "ownership" may increase to people who don't truly respect the artist, but only their work.
10,000 Subscribers without Videos good insight
No some people do actually believe they OWN people in the arts. Musicians and Actors alike . Not the art or the experiences but the actual people themselves.
Dead End is the only channel where they can talk shit about their viewers and still be loved LOL. I appreciate your work, thanks again for another video.
Feefo, please let the struggle beard go and shave your face.
HAHA HAHA Fr that beard ain’t cohesive at all
HAHA HAHA it's no nut/shave November
If he shave it it has more chances to get biggers.
Emmanuel Mondesir no it doesnt. that's a myth
Emmanuel Mondesir no that's a myth i had feefos "beard" too until I waited a couple months and now i got a beard. Anecdotal aside just look it up it's a largely debunked myth.
MC Danglin Ballz vs. Lupe Fiasco vs. MC Floor Wax in a STEEL CAGE!
Yung Dookie
I do remember when LASERs dropped and a female from your channel called Lupe a sellout for growing his hair. I remember thinking "since when is a black man growing an afro considered selling out? Lol"
Funny thing is he grew his hair cuz he just never had long hair and wanted to try it out. Saw it from sway's in the morning interview he did for tetsuo and youth
Worlds collided which is dope, but too bad it was over a misunderstanding.
@8:55 y’all catch that SHADE by Myke..
good shit man lmao
That was epic lol
Yall dont remember them early lupe videos from years back? From Lasers to his interview with bill o'reilly. I remember C-Town specifically saying Lupe wanted to be a fake Chuck D. The Food and Liquor 2 review had multiple shots as well. Not calling anybody out and I love this channel but Lupe's character was questioned more than few times
Alijah Jameal 💯💯
Lupe was butthurt from years ago
I wonder what Beezy was thinking about this video
Feefos beard is childish
Mykes eyebrows have gone full xxxtentacion
Man I haven't taken Lupe seriously in years. Y'all keep doing what y'all doing. It's obviously working if you get famous people reacting.
Travis Faine Lupe is being bitchy these days.
.....
Travis Faine bar for bar Lupe still got it
Tetsuo & Youth was dope. But Lupe tripping these days.
What are you talking about? He just misunderstood the video, the rest ge said is all truth, like myke said.
So we agree Lupe was right here....but he misconstrued the comment made..... Yet his point still was right regardless
kevin richardson exactly he wasn’t throwing shots at dead end just the comment that was regardless if it was intentional or not promoted him to speak on the issue
But it wasn't really for us... This video was more of a message to Lupe than us..
Yeah, all of these top comments are just attacking Lupe.
But it's not right, because he jumped the gun without actually listening to the message. That's the point. If you're right about responding to a slight portion of a sentence or thought, that overall doesn't make you correct because you didn't listen to what the actual thought was. Trying to defend stages of what you say is the epitome of backing down and not knowing to admit when you're wrong. Being humble allows you to have perspective of when you're wrong.
kevin richardson yea u right I’m sure if they were in the same room it wouldn’t be a disagreement
I've been watching you guys since 2011. I anticipate you guy's videos the most on CZcams.
Thanks for the shout out Mike! Mad Respect!
Y'all being disingenuous. When y'all reviewed Lasers/ Friend of the People? The discussion got rather personal.
Modest Media took it beyond music. Mike C-Town is / was legendary for his Lupe rants. Had some female in a car calling him "sell outs" over production choices.
Dead End Hip Hop when reviewing lyricist. Y'all sorta put em in a box. Critiques are more heavy handed.
Joe Budden "All Love Lost" for example. Feefo said I quote, "Joe sounds good" but I don't want him in this lane. Like why does all of that matter, if the music sounded good?
This is some of what Lupe is speaking on
Tj C.H.I They were right tho. Lupe is full of shit and he's salty when peolpe don't like his trash music.
Tawanda Batana nah, Lupe was speaking some real shit. Lu's video was over 40 minutes long. Dead End ONLY addressed one part which is the beginning of "Super Facts"!!
I get there're music critics who's passionate. But here FOOD 4 Thought, I subscribed too this channel because C-Town went in on Lupe harshly.
It's funny cause I'm like okay "these dudes sound like fools" from da barber shop. But too ACT as they totally innocent? Can't fuck w/ that.
Just be straight up, and have a TRUE debate over Hip-Hop #realrecognizereal #saywhatyoumean #meanwhatyousay 💯
@@fairgamewithtjorum So didn't Lupe watch the whole video? That tells you right there he's full of shit...
Tawanda Batana homie this shit is damn near a year ago. No longer invested in this conversation ✌🏾
💯
Myke's face when he said "I didnt even watch the whole thing" my goodness
Lupe quoted Mike out of context. Lupe needs to watch the whole video again. It's a dope conversation
8:56, kind of ironic when Myke admits to not having watched Lupe's whole video when he was the one complaining about something Lupe would have understood if he had watched the whole DEHH video haha xD
That was a joke. Look at his face at the end.
Mikhail Pozin I️ think he was just joking bruh
It didn’t seem like a joke at all...
LOL Did that joke go over your head? It's obvious it was a joke. Nobody laughed after it b/c the clip cut. How are y'all this slow?
Daniel Hill after he made that face, it cut pretty fast, so of course nobody laughed. It was funny because the irony of it, and the fact that he made a certain face, after he said "I didn't watch the whole video," which made it funny.
Lupe and myke finna settle this beef cowboy style and duel each other using their pistols at sunrise
FLOWER PUNK Lupe pulling up with a sword
I dont think he was really harping on DEHH with his views on the critics, I really just think he was talking about music media at large.
c dean he mentioned them by name tho. so even if he isn’t explicitly saying they do that, i dont remember him saying he wasnt talking about them.
I'm currently on a DEHH marathon, this is a goldmine of quality content.
I need Drogas Wave yo where it at!?
Sample clearances.
GABE CEREBRO how u know??
dropping september 28th.
its here
Jolly Rancher ablum is fire u like it
He said he doesn’t get into the “critic stuff” and then explained why... that wasn’t directed at you guys that was addressed to critics in general.
Y'all can't really say only young people feel entitled when old heads stay naggin Kanye for changing his style. Saying I want the old Kanye. It's the same thing, But I understand the point. It's wrong either way. An artist doesn't work like fast food. Artist make music when they feel like it, how they feel like it. Whether you like it or not is mutually exclusive.
Kellen Sheppard exactly ... the generalizations are getting annoying at this point because it's like lets make everything " oh it's the young people"... if you really believe that only young people are entitled then you really need to get out more
I sometimes feel like they believe the youth thinks that mufuckas like Yachty, Lil Pump, n Uzi r on the level or better than Cole, Kendrick, n Joey. Some dumbass kids might but others just value their turn-up sessions with music more than their "get woke" sessions with music. If it got a 808 and ticking hi hats its shitting on everybody no matter the talent level in their head cz of preference
This is a fact
THANK YOU!!
Complaining about a style change isn't entitlement though. Entitlement is literally: feeling that you are owed something without having put any work into why you think you deserve something.
Wanting someone to not have changed a style isn't entitlement, it's disagreeing with the change they've taken. It has nothing to do with a generation gap and everything to do with the natural human trait of liking things to remain the same.
28 minutes?? I gotta pause to get my popcorn ready
I thought it was pretty dope that Lupe sparked this conversation with y'all. Hopefully, this was all a Jedi Mind Trick since you guys are a great platform to influence the hip hop community. Peace!
Myke is Lupe’s long lost brother
Hopefully, you guys get a chance to interview Lupe to set things straight! Keep up the great work fam!
Thread why Lupe Is THE GOAT
HE MADE MURAL
yup yup
Live.Love.Q YOU RIGHT
And he made little death and body of work man I'm Bout to really go listen to T&Y right now
-drops the mic 😂
Thread over.
You guys are over thinking this. Lupe essentially shout you guys out, then used a piece of your vid to speak on the larger point that you touch on here - fans claiming ownership of artists.
And yeah, y'all are critics. Full stop.
The way Lupe names his albums tells you how he personally feels about it.
The full titles of all of them are:
Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool
Lasers
Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor 2: The Great American Rap album part 1
Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo and Youth
Drogas Light
Drogas Wave by Lupe Fiasco
The 2 albums that people especially don't like are the ones that had the most record label interference and are also the 2 he didn't put his name on.
Ken’s face at 13:06 cracks me up every time 😂😂😂😂😂
Get Lupe on the show, man. Like Everyday Struggle, but more mature.
lmao you guys go off on tangents all the time! and straight roast artists. It's funny how you guys are like nah we don't do that... that much. lol It's like if Kanye said nah I dont go on rants at my shows well not really. hilarious episode
Crosby Cruz lol I agree. I'm not shying away from that at all because that's part of what makes us authentic. At the end of the day, we're real life hip hop fans discussing music with each other. We talk about this culture in general, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Crosby Cruz 😂😂
Lupe gonna make another video responding to this response about his earlier response
I feel really bad for Myke. It was not his intention at all to make that statement. Considering the whole show revolves around unscripted dialogue, a small mistake like forgetting to say 'favourite' in between 'my' and 'artist' once at the beginning on the video seems like a reasonable mistake. He shouldn't have been attacked for something like that. I've been watching DEHH for YEARS and I know for sure that Myke and Lupe completely share the same opinion regarding this topic. It's quite unfortunate man.. I kinda wished Lupe watched the entire video. He would've understood and I think he'd have a lot of respect for the DEHH crew and especially Myke.
Thank you, bro. I appreciate it.
This conversation is important. It's ironic though how neither Lupe nor Myke took on the responsibility to watch the full videos beforehand. 😂😂
Something to add to the conversation... I have a friend who never gave Lupe a chance after finding out he didn't skate. Something totally unrelated to the music made the music lose it's value in his mind.
To me that's what make Lupe great though... he is just a guy from Chicago but through his intellect is able to put him self in so many different peoples shoes and create compelling music that gives you insight into different worlds.
Lupe hella inconsistent but i still love him
"......artists give they blood sweat and tears"
I couldn't help but INSTANTLY roll my eyes right away at this. One of the biggest reasons I left music school was that mentality of artists as a class of people SOOOOO separate from the rest of society. I can't deal with other musicians. I'm gonna hear Lupe out but I just get a gut-reaction when artists start in on that "omg we give you the world and you don't appreciate us because you'll never understand or be one of us" type of rhetoric. Fuck no
I hope there is some follow up dialog between Lupe and DEHH
Myke always got some shit to say about "kids these days". Like how many you actually know anyway??
It's disappointing that Lupe would use DEHH as a vessel for his critiques of music criticism. To celebrate The Company Man, when Justin celebrates DEHH for their integrity, shows that he is entirely disinterested in this ensemble. He's only interested in proving a point. If he cared about "Super Facts", he would have done his due diligence and listened to the entire conversation or watched their other content. There is no way that he even goes to Instagram, regarding grievances about this group, if he had done an ounce of research about their approach to hip hop criticism.
his point about some critics and attacking the artists rather than the music is correct, and there are several examples of the guys in DEHH doing so to artists including Lupe himself. Granted, they changed drastically in the last couple of years and their reviews are much better now but I won't be mad at an artist for taking an issue with the way they make or used to make their content.
Donnie Moreland nah homie he was right
Mylo How? All of the Lupe reviews have been accurate...Lupe is turning into Jay Electronica, a Talented MC with no relevance
Tawanda Batana Accurate in terms of what?
Their assessment of the music? I don't think accuracy can be associated with a review because it's mostly subjective. Them assassinating the artist's character? That simply should never be a part of a music review and i think every critic would agree.
The part about relevance, you're right, Lupe is not in the mainstream eyes like he used to be but I listen to and respect so many underground and indie artists to really care about relevance or let it affect my opinion of an artist.
Mylo They assessed Why Lupe Lies about his music....
Why he thinks he's better than he is... Lupe is very pretentious that's a fact which is why he fell off so bad..
Hes a great rapper and has some amazing albums but he doesn't feel he has to explain his music which is arrogant because every legendary artist such as
Michael Jackson, Prince, David Bowe and so on so Explain thier art.
Lupe doesn't respect DEHH, he definitely downplayed the whole channel.
Jordan Clemons its trash
minnie cee hell no
/s
Jordan Clemons cause Lupe is a legend
I don't blame him. I don't take critics serious when they can't make music themselves
Supporting an artist seriously, is a form of investment. No we dont own them but if 1000 ppl saying your music is lacking they can't ALL be lying. . .
He was talking about critics in general and not just DEHH.
The lighting is so good in this episode
Thought I would revisit this one. As artists, we have the need/mandate to create. Our creations come from places where most people dare not venture. It's a navigation in murky waters in which every attempt takes a unique route.
Some will say critiquing draws refined attention to projects whilst an artist may view it differently. The creation of a body of work that is revered and puts the artist on a pedestal of critics/fans is precarious. We often feel pigeonholed, and it becomes a difficult thing to escape the formula for success. "I 'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit!"
Context may be misconstrued, but art is subjectively consumed. The internet has made it a popularity contest via grouped opinions. It's great to be noticed, yet there is freedom in flying under the radar. Expression becomes less audible once all eyes are on the creative mind. We don't want separation from our craft. When you say "my favourite" artist ought to... You imply that I am now in the vice of your nostalgia because of a good time in your reference to experiencing my work. #scarecrowzw
I clicked play, I own y’alls souls. 😂
"MC Fourwax!"
donkor thomas I think he said mc floor wax! He got the slickest flow. 🤣
Two things
1. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time Lupe has subbed y’all, he’s spoken directly to assertions y’all made about his career and artistry ( granted most of this is old)
2. As critics (even begrudgingly so) it is y’all job to convey a clear point at all times it was a choice for that section to be used at the beginning of the video if that’s what is used as a preview you can’t be surprised or expect people to not draw conclusions based on just that (it’s just like clickbait not as egregious but still clickbait).
Very late but I have to strongly disagree with your 2nd point. I get that it was used as a preview and it contained a point that, out of context, was a highly contentious issue for Lupe, but he shouldnt be drawing conclusions just because he feels very strongly about this point. He doesn’t understand that this preview isn’t highlighting that issue but instead highlighting a different point that discussed in the video. But either way I dont think dehh are expecting Lupe to not draw conclusions because they know that he didnt watch the entire video because if he did, he would be smart enough to understand the wider context of the situation. Him not watching the entire video is the problem that dehh have, not him drawing conclusions
I feel that that ownership mentality comes from people's inability to dissociate the artist from the art as well as the accessibility of music in today's world.
Since people don't have to buy music to listen to it, doing so almost makes them feel as if they're charitable. The thing is, you're not charitable towards an object, you are towards a person. Therefore, you feel as if you have bought a part of an artist instead of having bought their product, so you feel as if they owe you.
this is a perfect example of clarity in presentation ... sometimes you, as an individual, you may have to ensure that what you put out (what you say) should be thought thru ...
bcuz this obvious misunderstanding, leaves the opening for people to be offended ...
u have to be responsible for what you say ...
tranquility ✌
wl
If people dont watch the DEHH videos fully then you miss out the point of DEHH as a whole. And I think the moment when Kendrick mentioned DEHH about the fellas getting the clue of the original title of To Pimp A Butterfly is one of those moments what DEHH is all about. The music and the knowledge that these guys put out on reviews and to share with other fans. I think artists who DEHH are doing a review on should appreciate DEHH for building this community so they can get to hear reactions of critics from their fan base thats not coming out their pockets but out of their deepest thoughts
Ales Patty Matenahoru right, we take the approach from a hip hop fans perspective added with a thought out critique and breakdown of the music.
So when we getting the Mc Floorwax review?
you guys are amazing. you deserve
Ah, the age old question: Who owns art, artist or the ones appreciating the art? At what point does an artist's work transcend them and is owned by the public
Well said DEHH, Lupe should've watched the whole video before trying to call anyone out. As for some of y'all in the comments though, y'all are saying Lupe was in his feelings but I see people in here saying he sucks and he's a bitch, clearly you're in your feelings as well. Keep it civil and hear each other out, and it'll all be good.
I can remember Ken and Feefo being hesitant to like Tetsou and Youth primarily because they were still upset about Lupe's prior misses. I remember clearly Myke and Beezy praising it with specific details of the songs they liked. If there was any review that Lupe might be referring to it may have been that
Nobodies perfect. All things can be reflected and understood regarding this situation. This benefits the culture regardless. Lupe could've came at anybody hell not even this channel anybody but he reflected his feelings to dehh. And thats gotta mean something. I feel Lupe reaches for higher understanding in all situations n dgaf what the surface is cs in all honesty everything he does he feels is part of him his art cs he dnt need fans to govern what he is looking for or need or tell him how to be n his universe. Dehh isnt perfect but it is hip hop culture n it does reflect the days bein wit da homies n reflecting on same convos jokes or not...misunderstandings or not...its bigger than the title of this video n i think it was meant for just what it caused which is another real dehh conversation rather if its what lupe liked or not n if lupe wants to understand it he will but dont guarantee a response n dnt feel bad if he doesnt. This is just another blessing dehh needed to grow bc it shows that if artist care they watch...n all artist who have fucked with yall are "hip hop" lets be real they are watching n i dnt believe for a second lupe thinks dehh is bad for culture nor hip hop illiterate. Not everybody can do what you guys do for the culture n yall didnt have to. Keep ya head up Myke u didnt take an L u took a win for something bigger than disappointment or critique. Cant say i know how it feels but I do know Mya hmu after i told her i was a die hard fan n that lets me know when i spoke into the universe "im going to reach people" i knew the universe was going to respond. #lawsofattraction N it may not be the response we want but it was a response needed in this season....not just for myke but for dehh. This is hip hop. You guys want these convos. #takeem
Lupe don't want smoke with MC DingleBalls 🔫💣
Lupe saw a clip of what Myke said and projected years of frustration that he has with other critics and fans onto him.
Five years ago he beefed with 2Dopeboyz, now y'all. Still got love for Lupe, those early mixtapes are rap classics.
I think Lupe meant that reviewers and critics, in general, talk about the person instead of the music. I don't think he meant DEHH specifically. I think he meant that since DEHH is also a review channel, he doesn't normally give it the time of day to begin with. A lot of other reviewers do focus on the person more than the music.
Feefo got straight skid marks on his face..... Cut the sh!t off bruh...
Feefo: ▪Whip Bumper▪
Mike: ▪Grunts and Sighs▪
Ken: ▪Gives outdated advice.
Beezy: ▪Silence▪
Rod: ▪Laughs Hysterically▪
Lupe is the type of person to believe the content rather than the context
I think Lupe had some valid points about some people’s perceptions and opinions of artists... , it’s too bad a misunderstanding caused the video to place you guys in a negative light though, cuz your not the problem
I think that his initial misunderstanding of your meaning inspired him to comment on some problems other people have
I think this is Dead End's most important video to date.....
“Lot of times we just talking bout-“
(Myke growls/sighs)
“-okay you doin it again what you disagree”
😂😂
Yooo, when Feefo get to tiltin' that head back -- just let 'em go. He's in a zone. LMAO!
You look like lupe doe
I totally get Lupe's frustration even though it was definitely directed at the wrong person..Sometimes fans can get a little biased on what they want to hear from a certain artists and that can make an artist feel like you may feel that you own them. For an example,when Future went through his Turn On the Lights phase a lot of his core fans had a problem with it because that's not what they wanted from Future but an artists has the right to make the music that reflects where they are emotionally at the time..just because you enjoy the dark stuff does not mean the artist is suppose to be in a constant state of darkness..Therefore in that aspect fans can be kind of controlling instead of digesting the artist in every phase and enjoying the journey
I think at the end of the day what you guys do is great and its for the culture as a whole which is bigger than any individual artist. Lupe is great but he is one of many and Mike put it best artist wants to be separated from the music when negativity surrounds them...that's facts
Lupe had some good points, ..but y'all aren't doing anything wrong & I hope you don't try to change because of this. It's dope hearing your opinions on albums & hip-hop culture! Btw, have y'all listened to Noveliss' new album (Kenjutsu Under the Moonlight) yet? It's everything! 🙌💯

From fast food customers who request 5 star service for their $5 meal, to customers that come see me, they think they have a power over you once currency is exchanged. Artists of all paths have to continually fight for their right to expression, it’s a fine line between pleasing the customer and making art that makes you happy.
Love these old brothers maaan, they tell it how it is and they raw
I’m not saying Myke is never mature, but he was super mature about the whole situation in the video. He understood all of Lupe’s points, and didn’t take it personally, to where he could’ve got defensive.
Especially that part when he says that Lupe didn’t misconstrue his words, but that he himself said the wrong words. That’s something most people won’t admit.
Granted, i think Lupe could’ve eventually figured out what he meant, but since ownership of an artists is a common theme, i understand the words being a trigger.
& i remember Myke saying how he was gonna try to take less personal shots at artists. I remember him saying it referencing Drake, and how if Drake wanted to fight him, he’d understand why.
Anyway, salute to Myke.
Interesting topic today. I think the sense of entitlement comes from the sense of intimacy modern day fans feel with the artist/personality/critic (in y'all case). I can comment and you guys will see. I can interact with any of my artists on social media. Even if they don't always respond, it's a lot closer of a creator/consumer relationship so fans feel as if they're more apart of the conversation when it comes to future content. And I think a lot of content creators cater to that as well, in the same way that a marketing executive would to its audience. But the area gets gray when the content is coming from someone who just wants to express themselves and create what they'd like.
DOPE. Makes me proud to be a day one fan of you guys.
