LOL, Lupe is tight. I don't know the story behind this whether the label took it from him or he just scrapped it from his album, but this was arguably the biggest single of the year outside of Eminem's two songs.

To be honest, I think B.o.B. rode the beat FAR better than Lupe; I don't think it would have done half as well if this is what was released on the radio.

I mean, I guess Atlantic made the songs for him. But then B.o.B. just made them sound better for the radio.

We know for a fact "Nothin' On You" was Lupe's song & he rejected it. I would assume the same for "Airplanes", but I honestly don't know.

We're talking MILLIONS of dollars right here lol.

Honestly, B.o.B. with those two singles probably have made more money than Lupe's entire discography combined lol.

Try that. It's not supposed to be on Youtube so they are deleting all the audio being posted.

Updated the DL link too.

I can't get past that annoying ass accent.

I won't front on the lyrics though, if somebody with dope vocals & a tight flow (Em, Nas, etc) spit this, I would be all over this lol.

lupe rejected both which is rather legit though i think he sounds better on airplanes.  sad part is he more or less caved in the long run based on the lasers that was released.

Hey, 2% of a hundred million is a lot more than 2% of a hundred thousand.

This song would have done well with either version. The hook makes the song.

2% is actually not accurate at all. Realistically performing artists (on major labels) receive about €0,05 max per sold album. Maybe it's a little bit more with digital sales. It would never make an artist rich. Once B.o.B gets out of his contract he could go indie and live off his success as a money-maker-for-rich-men and sales from his next album(s).

I mean, you said 2%. But artists must make more with big singles. Like an incentive.

You have too much faith in major record companies, lol.

Dope, thanks.

Don't get why they are deleting it from the net though. The song is scrapped, so who cares.

I don't know. Youtube tries to do that with every song that leaks until like thousands of people are posting it up & they can barely control it.
