        I could see this being a mixtape track, but for your lead single? Seems like a desperate attempt to get his old fan base back after the garbage that was Lazers. I bet most of the kids who become fans because of Lazers don't even know about Pete Rock or Troy.
        For what it's worth, I was a fan of Lupe before Lasers, but I loved the Lasers stuff more than most of his older music (with the exception of The Instrumental and Daydreamin') and seeing him live in concert with K'Naan was the best concert I've ever been to.

        Haven't gotten to listen to the new single yet, but I like T.R.O.Y so we'll see how I feel about this song later.

          Fair enough, you're entitled to your own opinion. I personally enjoy Lupe's earlier work. Then again, I never held him to the high standard others did.

          His fans will defend the usage of T.R.O.Y. for the single. My personal opinion is it's a desperate attempt to gain back his old fan base. Truth is he isn't saying much on the song. The only reason it sounds good is because of T.R.O.Y. as the backdrop.

          I just find it extremely disrespectful that no one asked Pete Rock if it was okay. Plus the producer didn't even make the track his own. Basically just threw his name on the production credits.

            I like the song because I thought his flow was nice. Better than what it was on LASERS.

              I was a fan of his before Lasers, I hated that album and the concert I went to with him performing all Lasers songs was the worst show I've ever been to.

              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                    I actually disagree with that statement, but that's your opinion.

                    Anyway, the producer has responded to this:
                    Yes, its a remake of T.R.O.Y, …. Yes, I did it.
                    It was something he wanted to do, and I thought his lyrics were cool. We did it with no samples, as per instruction, and it was pretty damn tough to pull off. I think we did a pretty good job. I did not know that Pete Rock would be so pissed….. Truth be told, I thought he was in the loop with it.. but no matter.
                    I certainly didn’t intend to come out and **** on pete rock in any way. He’s always been one of my biggest influences, and he’s a hip hop legend. It feels kind of bad to have one of your idols come out and diss you. But I understand his perspective. I will say that the vast majority of kids I talk to have never heard the original, and maybe this will get them to go back and pay attention to the first record.
                    The legal issues with using the original made it pretty impossible from a modern major label perspective, My intent was to pay tribute in the best way I could and maybe make something cool and new, with an obvious homage to the original version.
                    I have tons of original beats, people that know me on here know that. Its not even the first time I’ve been asked to remake this track for someone. All in all I thought it came out pretty dope.
                    Maybe I shouldnt even be speaking on this, but there it is. Redoing it gave me a new appreciation for Pete’s original production and how intricate and complicated it was. I dont blog and I’m not active on twitter, so I figured Id put this here.
                    Anyways, you can hate me now. I’m just trying to get over like the rest of yall though.
                    Peace,

                    <hr> Bsides continues:
                    I mean, i know it probably doesn’t mean anything, but my version was made with no samples. We called in a sax player and everything. When you look at the original, its a sample of tom scott, covering a Jefferson airplane song and using james brown drums. Not really possible to use these days.
                    I can’t really blame anyone who knows the original for not being excited for the remake, but theres a lot of kids out there that have never heard the original before.
                    For what its worth, Tom Scott gave his blessing. Technically Im not even sure we needed to clear things that far as its an interpolation of a cover song.
                    I’ve got a couple other joints with dude that will hopefully make the album that are much more original. In the meantime, its cool to say I have a single for a major artist. I’ve been doing this **** a long time without that. No one can say I havent paid my dues.
                    Just wanted to come back to the strut to talk about it. Cause if it weren’t for this place, I probably wouldn’t have known the original in the first place. I hope that it helps to know I worshipped at the alter of mecca and the soul brother, and have tracked my own copy of honeysuckle breeze out of the dollar bins years ago.
                    I did my best to keep things as funky as tom scott’s Birkenstocks, and I hope Pete will see this as the honest tribute it was meant to be eventually.
                    Oh well, hopefully y’all enjoy it and hear something more original from me next!

                      Only gave the new 50 Cent mixtape a quick listen as I was heading out to the gym, but liked what little I heard.

                        New Busta Track produced by Jahlil Beats(BTW Never EVER listen to Funkmaster Flex debut a new song. Guarantee it'll take at least 20-30 minutes before he'll let the track play without the stupid explosions and restarting it over and over)

                            This is only after one listen so maybe it'll grow on me, but IMO this was a big disappointment. The Big 10 was much better and got me kind of excited for a new 50 album. This lowered my excitement.

                              After finally getting around to listen to Lupe's new single, meh. Didn't really do anything for me personally. Wasn't bad, but not something that'll get me excited for his upcoming album. I'm more excited for K'naan's new CD at the moment.

                                Good read. I actually thought it sound different from TROY.

                                I find it funny that a producer who used a sample is upset about a remake of his beat.

                                Overall,

                                The song didnt really do anything for me tho.
