Lupe Fiasco Kicked Off Stage At Obama Party...Plays Anti-War Song for 30 Minutes

blackrain

Lupe Fiasco reportedly created a bit of a row on Sunday by insulting President Obama during an inaugural event.

Although Fiasco was booked as the headliner for the StartUp RockOn concert in celebration of Obama's reelection, the 30-year-old Chicago rapper apparently had no plans to cheer the current administration. Instead, after taking the stage at The Hamilton in Washington, he reportedly announced that he didn't vote for the president in the 2012 election and spent more than 30 minutes performing an anti-war song

Obama isn't immune to criticism, the man is not without faults

but Lupe come across as just a bitch ass hater
looking to prove how "different" he is and show he not some "sheep"

the worst type of attention whoring

ole "look @ me ass" nigga

ParallelRhymes

Did he actually make a speech shitting on obama or is this based off the lyrics in his song Words I Never Said

Lupe Fiasco has ascended to legendary status to me and walk away like a man. That's whatsup. Playing politics is the shit I don't like.

Something about Lupe's whole transformation into Preach from Don't Be A Menace is annoying as fuck..and I'm a fan of his music...he's just being an attention whore with this shit

MzGrahamBitches

smh...that wasn't very nice.

Wrong way to get your message across. I like that song though.

blackrain

Lupe's old music was pretty much the same shit he criticizes today before he tried to become the black skate board kid for marketing with F&L...and many people he rolls with and reps for, like his man Chill, are well known and not for being boy scouts growing up...pretty much Lupe needs to check his own circle of people around him before criticizing everyone else's and what they do

ShencotheMC

My problem with this is lupe shitting on everyone that paid good money to see the show. That's corny imo.

a.mann

once people start breaking this down for what it is
(attention whoring)

watch Lupe take to twitter whining about how everybody else are "blind,sheep,zombies..." etc,etc

Gold_Certificate

Shit was 30 minutes long?

Gotdayum.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Lupe is a look at me ass nigga....pop shit but wont pop THAT shit. I hate niggas like this, black and white. stop talking and set that shit off. Until then this nigga is a gump, trying to be edgy and revolutionary. If I think someone is a terrorist Im goin at him. Lupe wanna drink black tea and discuss why Obama is wrong. Obama would open hand smack this nigga and all Lupe would do is right another song..

haute

i bet he didn't refuse that dirty Obama money they offered him to do the set

If he didn't like Obamas politics he could've of done what many performers have done in the past

Decline the invite and use it as platform to talk about the issues

Instead he performed 1 song for 30 minutes which is not what his fans signed up for and made an ass of himself

ODB had more class

Ajackson17

I have the utmost respect for Lupe for doing this. I'm going to buy another album of his, he is a living legend.

a.mann

if Hannity or Limbaugh gives him props and a shout out

that's evidence enough Lupe gettin' some of that Conservative media kickback money

I don't like Obama or Lupe so I have no bias when it comes to this.

Lupe did a fucked up thing by agreeing to do a show for a cause he doesn't believe in only to go on there and perform in a way to disrespect the President. You don't like Obama? Cool, keep it to yourself if you're going to headline an event that is for him, or have your principles and just say you won't be doing the event because you don't agree with his policies. But to go out there and put on a show and actually go against Obama in the process not only makes the Obama administration look bad, it makes hip hop and Lupe look bad as well and brings into question his loyalty and integrity. Not to mention I'm sure the GOP will like having this to talk about.

Lupe been talking about President Obama for a while now. If he put him on than it's his own fault, no one is gonna change up because it's an Inaguration time.

Lupe known about Obama for a while now living in Chicago...if he hated him so much he shouldn't have said some shit back in 2006/2007 when we all knew Obama was gonna be the Democratic presidential nominee in the next election...Lupe the same nigga that cant even deal with Chief Keef

Its not that. If someone pays me for my services I am going to give them the best I have. I dont half ass or do a poor job. This nigga did both!!! 1 song that his fans probably didnt even like, and then he dragged it on for half an hour? Fuck him. He isnt going to be like Mumia, Ms. Shakur, Huey P, Mlk, or malcolm X. He couldnt lick the bottom of their shoes. He isnt going to change shit. He is too pussy to spark the revolution, and he is to much of a herb to spark young minds like MLK, Obama, or Malcolm X. Somebody need to kick push this lame ass nigga into highway traffic or off of a building.

Folks criticize Obama all the time...and the criticism is often legit...Lupe is just being a bitch about his way of doing it....in an effort to make his political point, he's doing a disservice to his fans in terms of the quality of his music, performances, interviews, etc.. The very people who put him in such a position for his point to be heard adn that's not a good way to keep people supporting you so your points can continue to be heard

He knew Chief Keef was a lost case, but he still had his hand open, but keef didn't want to extend his hand. So what is he suppose to do about that?

Cain1

Did he accept the check?

If so he's a hypocrite

Ajackson17

He better get that the money, that's some ill shit.
