The Uncool. Lupe Fiasco is at it again. The harebrained, self-indulged, so-called “smart rapper” is still trying to pass off cynicism as intelligence, but his card has been pulled once again. Here’s what that uncool fraud had to say on the topic of racism.
“Racism built this country,” Lupe said. “Racism built the world. Racism is the basis of all societies. It’s a necessary evil sometimes. Especially to keep democracy, keep us all comfortable.”
File that one under “Smart Rappers Say The Dumbest Things, Yet Again.”
Trying to clean it up he continued, “But it’s wack as hell. I hate racism.”
Not as much as I hate the arrogance you exude while making these mind boggling, dim-witted statements. But wait there’s more…
“I find comfort living outside the matrix, with all the evil robots and living underground eating oatmeal, that’s where I want to be because that’s true.”
You know what Lu, how about you stay outside the matrix on the music tip. Clearly you’re unique on that level, but when it comes to being a rebel thinker on real life issues, buy a friggin’ clue, my man.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s pockets will remain a little fatter this year after a judge ruled in his favor for a child support dispute with his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tomkins. 50 took Tomkins to court after refusing to agree to her requests for more money to help cover the living expenses of their 10-year-old son Marquis.Tomkins previously asked for $50,000 per month but was granted just half of that sum - $25,000 per month when the court viewed her and Marquis’ expenses.That figure was then further reduced earlier this week (February 11), and Tomkinswill now only receive $6,700 per month from 50 according to the New York Post.

That lil’ stunt Kanye pulled was hot- the sonning the Grammy “wrap it up” music. But will the rapper get fined for overextending the time limit? Kanye got the Grammy, but the Grammy people get paid off those pricey ads that run. Well, they say when Kanye went overtime some 34 seconds, he cut into somebody’s time and now he must be fined. He hasn’t been fined yet, but they are saying that dude is going to get hit with a $100k fine. Apparently, the board of the Grammys is going to meet and make a decision. This has never happened in the past, but Kanye was pretty brazen to the “wrap it up.” Well, you can’t tell him nothing, right?
