Respect to Lupe for showing so much emotions and still having the strength to talk about it.
Reports This is 50:
Lupe Fiasco made an emotional appearance on MTV’s RapFix Live on Wednesday. Sway showed scenes from a 2006 special called My Block, which showed a young Lupe talking about growing up on the mean streets of Chicago, the positive influence his mom has had on his life and why he chose to rap about positive things verses the gang violence he grew up around.
After the clip stopped, Lupe broke down and cried.
“Some of them dudes are dead,” Lupe said. “Chicago the murder capital. It’s dude in that video in a prison. A couple of fed cases and then there’s ghosts. You see people that aint there. you’re just trying to make it better and come up out of it. Some of those kids aint gonna make it out of there.”

And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you the emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it. Respect.
Had Lupe be on here making snide suggestions as to whom he thought likely to be a closeted homosexual mainstream Rap artist there would be at least a hundred comments. If he was addressing how lightskin/darkskined women are better than the other – it would be the same. Shame. Shame Shame on us Black people for being so petty and fickle.
This is a deep real message that people dont really think about! I respect this man! Thank You Lupe!
