Early this morning, Chicago-producer and former Lupe Fiasco collaborator Prolyfic, who worked closely with Lu early on and on Food & Liquor exploded on Twitter with his reaction to the petition that’s floating around for Atlantic Records to release Lu’s third album Lasers. It appears that Prolyfic seems to think it’s the “new Lupe sound” that’s holding the album back, not Atlantic Records.
I’m not sure about that, but I sure as hell signed that petition yesterday. Good or bad, I just want to hear that album and would like to see Lupe return to that #1 spot, because when he’s spitting, when he’s really spitting, there’s only a few people seeing him. Period. In December, it’ll be 3 years since The Cool was released so the fans are thirsty. Very thirsty. Eventually Lu will give the people what they want…one way or another.
Prolyfic went on for some time, but here are some of his Tweets below:
More from Pro’s rant after the cut…
Would have liked to see the full rant in chronological order on FSD.
for once PRO said something smart…
Well….there it goes. I got hip to Lupe late. After he had made the “flip”. I really never understood the hoopla about him until somebody put me on to his earlier material. The boy is cold.
But if that ain’t him, just ain’t him. You know? Can’t knock it. But if he is in fact TRYING to be different and rebel against the system…..then I’m just at a loss. Who doesn’t want to be the best at what they do?
I am a great supporter of individuality in art and music, (I think its a must). But I do have to agree if you on a major label that is expecting to sell over one million units just to pay the bills and you want their backing its gotta bang. You keep only rapping about yourself you gonna end having to push yourself by yo-self. Real Talk.
PS: Lupe as long you do you regardless of your label situation you got lifetime fan in me.
Much Love

Prolyfic has a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth. Why in the fuck does he care about Lupe still? Lupe doesnt even fuck with him like that. Lupe is a genius and this Lasers shit will surely reflect that. True artists stick to their guns or else we would have never heard Marvin Gayes “Whats Goin On” which the label refused to release until Gaye fought for it….and that shit popped. You cant keep doin the same shit every rip….u gotta switch it on em.
Prolyfic you sound like a fucken HATER…
Get yo Ol’ Lupe left me miserable bitter ass outta here
When the fuck do you stop dude
That man not even thinking about you but you just always got some negative shit to say about him.
Any situation he has,Good or Bad
Get over it Nigga
Move on like he did
Keep all that bitter ass shit to yourself dude
You on the internet going hard on this man.
For what?Because you bitter that he dont fuck with you nomore
So you’re enjoying this situation he has? Thats fucked up my dude
Hes still in a better place than you dude
Go on,express yourself,show the world that you’re lupe’s #1hater
That’s whats wrong with BLACKS now
we do shit like what you just did prolyfic(we down our own)
Lets support and uplift this brother in this time of need
we all know you have personal beef,keep that garbage to yourself
some people just dont give a fuck and really could careless about you and your personal faggot opinions
go make some beats or something
where your music at
how’s your career as a producer
Dont knock the next man when you’re not even doing nothing at all.
that drake song that took 2 or 3 producers to do, that didnt make the cut
DONT COUNT!
I wish you well lupe cause we all know Prolyic wants to see you fail
CEO Thomas Jones
Damn.
PROLYFIC HAS A BITTER TWITTER GAME LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“FORMER PRODUCER” LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*wonders if that was the REAL Thomas Jones that went THEE fuck in on Pro*
Why the fuck are TWEETS important info Andrew. This is not chicago hiphop news. I guess thats why this blog is going downhill.Nobody give a fuck about Prolyfics bitter ass. Guess he still mad because he not doing nothing with his life and Lupe still doing his thang. Prolyfic you stupid as hell. Artists grow and develop as they go on so while the shit Lupe did at the start was dope, he is now at a different point in his life and its nothing wrong with him expressing himself different this time around. Stop being hateful and jealous. You are a true definition of a fag, over there getting excited about another mans struggles. What are you doing with your life besides spending all day on twitter trying to get other hatin ass bitches to agree with you. Pull your skirt down Prolyf
How am I bitter for wanting a artsist I believe in to go back to believing in themselves?
Or better yet just being who they was that MOST of the people out here forgot about?
That’s what’s wrong with YOU people…. niggas always look for hate.. don’t nobody hate dude..
And ain’t nobody thinking about the things YALL thinking about
PERIOD!!
If I can’t touch on this nigga, then who can?
fuck off my dick!
I swear that’s what’s wrong wit most of you emo ass niggas in this city that surf the web..
you have no fucking heart!
And MOST of you niggas can’t read. cuz if you could.. it would be IMPOSSIBLE to get “jealous” “bitter” or “hate” from wtf I said on dude.
To the people that know whats up… and know what place i’m speaking from.. Whadown..
to the rest of you 2 or 3 people.. jump off a cliff!
You know.. the bob bs that hate every post that has anything to do with me, that make 7 or 8 comments wit multiple names.. you know.. my stalker ass niggas.
Middle finger up and the index finger follow.. Deuces
Prolyfic you have delusions of grandeur. Lupe probably has YOU filed in his mind as a stalker. But I know what your real deal is…but Im not gonna reveal it…but u will find out one day..prolly when its too late.
Prolyfic lol you mean David Ewing man shut the fuck up Lupe dropped your ass a long time ago why his name still coming out your mouth you sound like one of his ex bitchs who cares what you have to say and your beats sound like shit “you know you know” lol

pro keep it moving and get off dude dick you salty its apparent he hurt your feelings you ol wear my heart on my sleeve face ass!!
Lupe wrote for Jay-Z on the black album?!?
I have to admit i have wondered where Lupe’s album was going. When I heard more rock songs from him I was disappointed because I can’t really rock with it. If Lupe is truly inspired by this music and wants to go in that direction, more support to him. What i hope didn’t happen is he felt he had to get love and support from another genre of music because Hip-hop doesn’t show the support it should. I personally think Lupe is the best lyricist in the industry today. Chicago doesn’t play his music on the radio.,rappers back home call him a “faggot” on home blog sites and look down on him for speaking on real issues that effect his city. Chicago hip-hop makes it hard for artists to be themselves. Most start off with a passion to make it better for their family and neighborhood but when there is NO SUPPORT from the home town and just to get on the played radio you have to sound like your from the south, What is a STARVING artist to do? Hopefully stick it out thru the storm of hateful, unhappy, unintelligent people and know there still are people who share the same passion you do and are ready and praying for a change. Good luck and God bless.
Lupe is by far one of the best lyrical rapper/artist emcee of are time!!
But we all know the world is at a very serious point..but radio won’t allow
certain genre to express that like w/ current Hip Hop…talented artist are
force to write jiggle raps…in many ways, ya’ll know when they be
dumbing
it down!
I usually do not comment on posts like this.. but I have a few points to make
1.) Andrew, why is this news?…why??…you are scarring me with your stalkerish ways..Really
2.) I am a founder of the music scene that included all afformentioned names and Pro is def right
3.) I happen to be in the same dog eat dog bag that Lupe is in. The Atlantic machine!…The Music business is in big trouble peeps….and they have themselves to blame…However, if you do not do what “Big Brother” says…you will sit on the shelf…..Writers, Rappers, Singers, Producers are ALL expindable to :”Big Brother”…..Please civilians understand this!…Look at what they did to Micheal Jackson before he died?….Prince?….Do you think they (“Big Brother) gives a MOTHER fuck about Lupe…especially since they have his cousing B.O.B know and oh yeah he listens!….
4.) You sit @ home fans but will NEVER understand this business. Im not saying to try…just know all the petiotioning in the world isnt enough to release LASERS…sorry fans…There is NO democracy on this side of the fence!..None….
5.) EVERY single point PRO made was not only valid but stoic!
@ I was there, it is not that hard to understand how the system works or how it is working against the people. Maybe Lupe has a more important plan in mind then selling Millions of records just to sell millions of records. You can reach the masses in many different ways. This attitude is what keeps people on the shelf. That there can not be change. What we are forgetting is WE the people still have a “vote” on what we want to listen to and what we want to represent us as a Hip-hop community. It is clearly not what is being massively played today. The truth is most people are just followers and few are born to be leaders. The leaders have a responsibility to LEAD the sheep. Since you were there maybe you could have made a change. So lets be clear “Jay gave him a co-sign like he was RocaWear, but be clear he ‘s not the air/heir
his the water, fire and the earth
That means he’s doing dirt, spitting flames and quenching thirst” AHHHHHH! (smacks lips) tastes good too.
^^The both of u shut the fuck up…its not even that serious. Lupe isnt a fuckin politician nor is he a prophet…he’s just a fuckin rapper man….and thats it. He cant change anything…..and the music industry isnt lucrative or even cool anymore so “I was there” stop acting like you know some big secret that really fuckin matters….get a life. All your conspiracy theories are laughable. Prolyfic SMH.
Big Brother!!!!LMAO…..stop smoking weed!!!!Turn off BET and WGCI….read some books about shit that really matters.
Lupe is rapping out of his ass these days. He used to be the future. Now this nigga is rapping on boring ass beats tailored to the white folks. Fuck that Lupe. Stop being gay and make that soul music. Good music.
Lupe is my homie til the end, but I kinda feel what Pro is saying… He has to get on that old lupe shit… He was the best. That is when they had the allstar team. i was looking for stuff to come out, now, i cant relate to the weird stuff.. Come on lupe, get back on yo “Failure, Madison Street Westside Free Chilly” type shit…. Fuck the world, talk about wats goin on in your hometown, which is the current murder capital….. Come bak 2 the ppl!!!
And why does this man Prolyfic keep saying “emo ass niggas”. Grow the FUCK up. EVERY good real hip-hop song is emo, you sound so fucking foolish. When you listen to a dope Jay-Z/Nas/Eminem song that isnt about hustling, material possessions, or hoes, does it not make you FEEL something or evoke emotions inside you when they paint their picture with their verses? That means its emo nigga. Emo=emotional. Not wrist cutting music like ignorant idiots like you think. Even though I agree Lupe should DEFINITELY be releasing music instead of crying on his tweets, and that hes not doing any good by not keeping his buzz up, you not knowing what the hell you are talking about makes Lupe look like the martyr in this situation. Your only kicking yourself in the ass, you like Solar. The music you make is supposed to come from a genuine place, Noone who listens to REAL music wants to hear about the shit you want him to rap about. Maybe you need to learn about what hiphop music is before you go around calling people “emo”.
Did anybody notice that illuminati eye in the Beamin video?????

^^^Momma told me to never argue with fools or show a blind person a painting…..I so agree! (shout out to ma dukes)…!….How bout this…
That album ISNT coming out.!!! As it stands….fuck what you think I know…..
I AM THE HORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!…………………muhahahahahah
Now sit your groupie asses back and wait to see what good your signatures will do…….Lupe knows….
@ Clinton. I checked this blog around 2:00pm yesterday and saw you left a comment 7hrs prior. Amazing that you could be up that early blogging but yet to receive a WAKE UP CALL. Why couldn’t a rapper become a politician? The terminator is governor. @ Clinton and “iwas there”. Lets not argue. i know you don’t care what i think, I thought this was debating. Thanks for reposting my comment in case anyone missed it they were able to see it.My point that i made that you missed is there needs to be different personalities and roles representing hip-hop. Gucci and Waka Flocka or anyone who falls under that genre of hip hop are not idiots by far,. They were the select few that made it out of their situation. They are a reminder of what is going on, on that side. Which is constantly displayed in the media. But where is the political voice of hip-hop? I want that voice to be bigger and more respected. That is all. Lupe is a good example of someone trying to do that. I will stand behind anyone who shares the same passion as I do. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
Hey Guess what..NOBODY GIVES A FUK WHAT THAT PRO NIGGA IS SAYING.
Let Lupe Fiasco drop his music and let the fans decide what its like. That song “I’m Beaming” goes hard as fuk, I Could Careless what Lupe Switches up on, If hes making songs like that “BMF Freestyle” Then let him Come out exposing that shit, While yall Niggaz listen to that played out “Swag” Gucci mane soulja boy shit, Let that man’s Music Drop..If the Response is given, then who cares if it doesnt sell over a million or so..Album Sales dont mean shit if its the Truth..Look at Lady Gaga’s Satanic ass..She sellin 45Million Copies and i still dont know who the fuk is buying that shit..Bitch dont make no sense kid..
LOL REAL TALK
