He said nothing directly to you, then u get mad? Then the "really shows why they don't let you post on here that much?" uncalled for. no apology necessary 4P First personal insult was delivered by Zack, “I have been in your shoes trying to write something for attention on here” that’s personal.

But I have to tell you, you sound extra sensitive. As far as "why they don't let me post...." I'm smart enough to recognize Pandoras box when I see it. I'm not touching that one. lol In all seriousness though this is a forum for open exchange, I expressed an opinion in the form of jest, you expressed an opinion, I thought it was a fun exchange "battle of words" so to speak but obviously you took it to heart. As a person who runs a Blog urself u recognize that when u throw a comment out there on the web there's a myriad of responses/comments that could come back, you're not supposed to take those personal, especially when you're the one who made it personal by attempting to chastise me with your first comment. I didn't take that personal (although it was) I thought it came with the territory.

I happen to like Lupe a lot, his word-play is always on point and he always has a concept behind his music that tells a story and keep listeners interested. I guess when you don't flash your diamond grills in your mouth and boost about the cars you drive all of that doesn't matter and people write you off as wack, those who are closed minded and egotistical that is. But I am so over arguing about Hip Hop. Now I just state marketing research facts :-). Cheers! * Back on topic,I think it is very amazing and encouraging that Lupe is doing work for charity. well Lupe is not retiring..anymore.

I'll allow my silence to "speak for me". Why don't you release a record? See, that's the problem with being a hater. You spend so much time downing others, you forget to work on yourself. And the whole thing about the ratio comment, is about longevity and overall respect. I'm a publicist and I do research about this all the time. Just because Wheezy sold a million records doesn't mean that folks really think he's a good artist. They just buy records to fit in with their friends. (Real deep consumer behavior research that I don't want to go into right now) Thanks for disrespecting me in the process too, fam. Really shows why they don't let you post on here that much. And ask Mike for my e-mail. He don't have nothin' to do with this. There’s no need to debate you since you are so disrespectful. I’ll allow my silence to “speak for me”.

If he has this loyal following that you speak of why would he "retire" to go climb mountains! You and all the rest of the Lupe fans should convince him to stay around put out more of that hot fire. Lupe's lyrical but weak, he has no presence.

A lot of artists lack a certain "timeless" quality to their music because the "bars" have been lowered. 2) Lupe Fiasco actually has a more loyal following when you compare the ratios of album sales of other artists and those who really respect their craft. 3) I have been in your shoes trying to write something for attention on here. But it's not a good look. We all look better when we critique folks in a fair spirit.
