controversy: pete rock tweeted that he is upset that lupe sampled this song.

“Feel so violated, the beat is next to my heart and was made outta anguish and pain. When it’s like that it should not be touched by no one! It’s so hard for folks to make original music, I possess that, but these dudes are scared of that and this is supposed to be HIP HOP?”
for me. i didnt know the troy song...cuz i was too young so why be upset mr rock!!! :roll:
i'm living in the future, so the presence is my past. my presence is a present, kiss my ass!

Amazing lyrics as usual. Let's just hope his label aren't gonna mess him about again.

I don't get it. Who has to agree to that sample ?
Why isn't it Pete Rock, since it's his song.

Anyway this is dope. Can't wait for Lupes next album.
