Fiascogate: Lupe Clears the Air, Plans to Sue VIBE
Lupe called into Kay Slay’s show yesterday to clarify his latest string of anti-Midnight Marauder comments, including the MC Hammer remarks in VIBE. Obviously, VIBE had already interviewed Lupe prior to VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, but decided to publish that in order to join the Fiascogate conversation. It’s funny how my good friends at VIBE incorporated Lupe’s VH1 flub and some of Eskay’s comments into the interview to make Lu’s comments appear recent. As Clyde points out, that VIBE interview now spots a disclaimer saying that it was recorded prior to Hip-Hop Honors.
Lupe also speaks to Kay Slay about his decision to ditch his early thug persona, which was showcased on his first major single “Pop Pop.” Plus, that CRS album with Kanye and Pharrell looks like it’s really going to happen.
