Lupe Fiasco – Around My Way

November 7, 2012

I’m not sure if I like the fact that Lupe took a iconic, classic and unforgettable Pete Rock track without his permission.

Pete Rock via Twitter:

“No disrespect to lupe fiasco and i like him alot but TROY should be left alone. Feel so violated, the beat is next to my heart and was made Outta anguish and pain. When it’s like that it should not be touched by no one,”

“I’m not flattered @ all. Dat sh– is wack, and the producer should be ashamed of his f—in self. Smh.”

Nonetheless, it’s refreshing to hear such a solid lyrical performance over a classic hip-hop beat, and I can’t stop listening to it for the moment.
