When Lupe Fiasco decides to vent, he goes full throttle.
The Chicago rapper is fed up with today’s MTV, and wants the old one back.
Lupe took to Twitter today, and went in on the Viacom owned network. Peep some of what he had to say below.
“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!”
That might not have been the best way to get MTV to play your music videos, but your point was certainly heard loud and clear fam.
Now lets get that ‘Lasers’ cd out, the fans need that.
