Lupe Fiasco vs. MTV

Wasalu, Wasalu.

After the fan's petition for the release of Lasers in front of Atlantic Records was a success, I would have thought there are no other hurdles in the way for Carrera Lu.

Maybe I spoke to fast.

MTV took it in their hands this morning to make a 10 Tips To Make Lasers Successful list that didn't sit to well with Lupe. In turn, Lupe took to Twitter to air out his frustrations with Viacom's darling love child.


"Oh snap…MTV (illuminati’s favorite network) back on the attack…why can’t y’all just chill out? Salacious banality @ the speed of light? 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!"

I just hope Lasers gets it's release and marketing push like Ms. Greenwald at Atlantic Records promised.
