STFU Award: Lupe Fiasco

We all know Lupe Fiasco grew up in Chicago, right?? Well, did you also know that he used to shoot TEC-9's when he was a baby?? You didn't either?? What a coincidence! Welp, that's what he told Entertainment Weekly last week, here's the direct quote:

"When the gangbangers would try to pull it, I was like, 'Yo, I will f*ck you up," he said. "And if you wanna call your cousin, call him. I'll call me! I'll call me right now.' We were shooting TEC-9s when we were babies, so the whole gangsta image, that ain't nothing."

But wait, there's more! He also went on to say this:

"When I was growing up, there was a crack house next door to us and they were trying to expand," he added. "My father was like, 'Are you serious?' He took his gun, walked next door, and said, 'You're done,' while I aimed my gun out of the window. I was 13 or 14 and to see that, a lot of the facade and the upkeep [of trying] to impress people was eliminated very early for me."

I have a strange feeling of deja vu right now. Hmm...maybe its because Lupe went on radio and tried to convince us he used to be a gangsta just a few months ago lol.

Now, I like Lupe, I love dude's music, but the more he tries to make me believe he was some kind of tough guy hard head as a child just pushes me away. What are you trying to prove?? You don't make that kind of music so why is it that every time I see an interview you're talking about it?? I don't know. Whatever, I ain't saying none of it happened BUT I am saying, "We don't believe you, you need more people" lol. Shut the fuck up and stick to making the classics Lupe.
