Lupe Fiasco Says That He Is The Most Blackballed Rapper In This History Of Rap

After congratulating Jay Rock and the other winners from Sunday’s Grammys ceremony, previous winner Lupe Fiasco explained why fans getting mad about his own Drogas Wave not getting a nomination is misguided before diving into details on his well-known problems with the music business at large.

“That’s like getting mad at McDonald’s for not having Whoppers,” Lupe tweets in response to a fan saying they were “very disappointed” that Lupe’s album wasn’t nominated.

Lupe shared his experience with the major label system, which he describes as “damn near a mob cartel.” He recalled once asking music executive (and former WMG boss) Lyor Cohen for rights to his master recordings in exchange for a 360 deal. Ultimately, according to Fiasco, Cohen strongly suggested a lack of promotion for his new album if he failed to ink the paperwork.

Lupe goes on to say that he is the most blackballed rapper in the history of rap.
