"So dont be scared to take the Super Lu route" Lupe Fiasco



Here I was minding my own business, giddy as can be about the release of new material from Lupe Fiasco only to find out that there was a smidgen of drama around it. This was not typical Lupe release drama, but the MC reacting to a few comments from a couple of rappers (differentiation between the two terms intended). Apparently, in an interview with XXL magazine rapper Soulja Boy offered up that he planned to step up his lyrical output so as not to be taken as a "joke." Shortly thereafter he qualified his comments by adding, “I don’t want to be super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical and nikkas don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about.”

I am unsure if Soulja meant it as a diss, or if Lupe even  interpreted it that way. I certainly can understand Souljah's overall point though. Lupe, at times, can be a bit too cerebral, although I don't necessarily see that as bad thing. What is important here is that Wasalu heard the comments and used it as a teaching moment for young Soulja via "SLR (Super Lupe Rap)" of his mixtape Friend of the People.

"And that’s how you do it
Everything flow, everything fluid
Stupid with the raps, but the raps never stupid"
