The New Lupe Single

Herm said:It trips me the eff out that I was brought back here - a place I've called "home" for what...10 years now?? - by an Ego Trip article referencing the great BSides88. Crazy.





My two cents: This should've been a mixtape track over the original instrumental.





Also, for those that say there are no good Hip Hop covers...heressomebassinyourfacemotherf*ckersillysucker...













Wait, I got mentioned in an ego trip article?

???All the credit goes to my partner and manager Chill, he just felt like it was time to bring back a joint,??? he said. ???Go back and take one of the iconic records of Hip Hop and put a new spin on it and put it back out there. I spit on it a couple times before, some mixtape stuff back in the day, Chill felt it needed a bigger look than that.???








Anyway, thats what lu said, and thats the way it was put to me. He wanted it out to a larger audience. I thought that sounded cool.





At least it got released with my name on it! I worked with Dr. Dre for like 6 months and nothing came out of that. But yeah, I hope soon there will be more stuff out there with my name on it that showcases things that are more my ideas.





As for all the "no biting" stuff. Back when people said that it was no stealing rhymes, snatching a beat somebody else just used, or stealing an artists individual sound. Doing a remake of a 20 year old classic song that everybody knows? Cant really say how thats biting. Its as close as you can get in hip hop of a cover song. And you may think thats wack, and you are absolutely entitled to feel that way.





It was very hard to do this convincingly with no samples. I was very skeptical that I could even pull ll it off. But we got it there, and I was proud of my work.

I'm with you bsides. You did what was asked. I think the majority of the hate is because Lupe is corny and has already proven himself unworthy of using a beat like this. After doing a tribe tribute and fucking up the lyrics he admits that he's never listened to midnight marauders in its entirety. He leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Even his explanation for this is that someone else told him to do this song. People are too attached to this song to let some dude passively redo it without even having any attachment to it.





Again, I'm not mad at you for getting work. It's kind of lame that Pete keeps on saying he likes lupe and I'm not mad at lupe. Fuck lupe, him and his manager are the problem here.





Sorry your boss is wack, but that doesn't mean you didn't put in effort and do your job. everyone sayi g this sounds flat or whatever, probably couldn't have done it better, but that gets to the root of it. No remake would have really done it justice. It's too big a mountain to climb.





Its hard as fuck to make money off making beats, so I don fault you at all. Cash that check.
 
Anyway, Lupe just said on the Radio Pete Rock gave his blessing to do it when he was approached.





So im not completely off base with that.

Soulstrut citations like woah.





Hi other people!!!
 
I think it's fine you produced it, but you shoulda had Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake rapping over it instead of Lupe. Woulda been more appropriate.
 
I wanna be super clear cause sometimes I talk about it like it was all me...





I co produced this with my partner DJ Simonsayz. He probably did more work on it than me, so hes entitled to his fair share of credit/blame.





He's been lupe's dj for like 5 years and is the real reason i got to work on this project. Just in case that wasnt clear cause it seems like my name got out there first to comment.

Haha, im not really sure yet. Flattered that you would ask for one though. Ill find out.
 
This thread is losing speed quickly, I thought it would turn five pages in no time. Time for Pete to make a quick visit and set things straight.

I stand by my conservative stance regarding Covers. O-Dub clarified shit.





I hope your shit gets love for your effort and not some "controversy".

As many times as you pat yourself on the back in this promotional thread of yours, yeah actually I do think your ego is trippin' and I'm not talking about the magazine that came out when you were pumping the boomerang soundtrack.
 
Waaahhhh, you sampled my sample. Pete needs to fall back.





B-Sides...don't listen to the naysayers, good to see you gettin yours finally.
