Lupe Fiasco - Words I Never Said (Feat. Skylar Grey) (Produced By Alex Da Kid)

[Chamillitary Click]

^Certainly not, I'm not giving him credit for that. All I'm saying is, he can keep making similar beats & throw females singers on the hook, but if the song as a whole sounds different then everything named in this thread, I don't mind it.

Not going to lie, these songs may get played out way too much & it eventually effects my opinion of them, but I did like all the songs mentioned in this thread at one point.

this an internet rip? there is a facebook chat beep during the middle of the song lol

Lupe has been talking about this stuff for a minute...def impressed that he is addressing these things, and especially pushing it as a single. 

See how artists have to make huge concessions for the label?  It's like, ok, you can put whatever lyrics you want, but we're still gonna make it over the current flavor of the week producer, make it sound like every other song, get this ho to sing on the hook, etc...

Exact same shit they did w/ Nas' last album...Hero was very dope lyrically, spoke on some real shit...but they made him hop on one of Polow's beats and get Keri Hilson or whoever it was on the hook.

Check Lupe at the end of his Letterman performance: "No New World Order"

Basically..

So sad (from the label perspective).

It's like a compromise

[Action!]

nothing wrong with having a dope beat to sell music.  it's just a matter if it work or not.  nas's hero and lupe's words works.  other times, love the way you lie (despite being huge), don't.  just my preference though
