Lupe Fiasco Fires At Pete Rock Over 'T.R.O.Y.' Sample Issue
By Nadeska Alexis
If case you missed this entire saga, let’s backtrack a little bit. Earlier this week Lupe Fiasco dropped his new single "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)” which sampled Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s track “T.R.O.Y..” Pete Rock took to Twitter to vent about how ‘wack’ the track was, Lupe tried to play nice, and the following day Pete Rock tweeted that they’d patched things up and planned to collaborate. Well,according to Lupe, that’s not exactly what happened, and there are still some issues to sort out.
Lupe drops Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free): The Chitown rapper released his new single to Itunes, featuring a remake of Pete Rock and CL Smooth's classic "T.R.O.Y.," and although Lupe maintains that he was trying to pay homage to Pete with the track, it’s met with disapproval. “No disrespect to lupe fiasco and i like him a lot but TROY should be left alone,” Pete Rock wrote on Twitter. “Feel so violated, the beat is next to my heart and was made Outta anguish and pain. When it's like that it should not be touched by no one."
Lupe tries to make peace: "All the credit goes to my partner and manager Chill, he just felt like it was time to bring back a joint,” Lupe explained. “Go back and take one of the iconic records of Hip Hop and put a new spin on it and put it back out there.
Pete Rock claims things are patched up: Although Pete Rock originally felt "violated" by the sample and called the song "wack,” he tweeted that they cleared things up. "I just got off da phone with lupe, we worked out our difference and we bout to get it in," tweeted the iconic producer.
Lupe is still VERY pissed at Pete Rock: Lupe called into “Sway in the Morning” on Sirius XM, where he broke down what really happened, calling foul on Pete Rock: “We reached out to Pete in November, he said ‘Nah I don’t really wanna do that, because the record means so much to me, its emotional.’ I reminded him that it’s already been remade and put out by a ton of n----s, and he said ‘Lupe that’s my man he’s got my blessings.’ Lupe went on the explain that he couldn’t even clear the sample through Pete Rock since he didn’t own the publishing rights.
“The funky part is we ain’t even gotta go through Pete Rock to clear it, because he don’t even own it. Then he comes on Twitter the day after the joint released and bodies me like that, and bodies my crew like that, and just s--ts on us like that, that’s foul,” he said. “Then we finally get on the phone we didn’t have a f---in’ conversation—we weren’t on the phone like ‘oh I love you,’ I was hot, my crew was hot, the label was hot. He wasn’t just on the phone with me, he was on the phone with 6 people—like Pete what’s wrong with you? Going in on us like that? We trying to pay homage to you, literally trying to page homage to you. If there’s anybody in the industry who gonna hold you down more than anybody its Lupe.”
In regards to that part about them collaborating: "He wasn’t supposed to say that---he was supposed to say the same s---he said on the phone—‘yo man that’s my bad, that was whack it was f----- up for me to say that, I was 100% in the wrong, I apologize.' That’s what he was supposed to say.”
自己慢慢看吧。不难看懂。

后续报道1：Pete Rock Gives Full Details Of Lupe Fiasco Conflict
Tensions have been high between Lupe Fiasco and Pete Rock over the past few days. Earlier in the week Lupe Fiasco released his single "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)” which Pete Rock dubbed as 'wack,' because it used a sample of his and CL Smooth's classic "T.R.O.Y." Eventually Rock said that the two had patched things up, but Lupe told a different story during a recent interview on "Sway in the Morning." On Friday Pete Rock released an official statement, trying to clear the entire thing up. Read below.
Pete Rock: "It's true that Lupe Fiasco's representative from Atlantic Records contacted me last fall and he did so while I was in mourning over the sudden death of my cousin Heavy D. I gave the representative a conditional "yes" to use T.R.O.Y. for Lupe's album but only based on the condition that I be involved on the project. It's what I always say when approached by people who want to use that particular song. I was never contacted again. At no point was there any follow up from Atlantic Records. Now, the story gets twisted and it's being said that I said "yes." The part about my conditions has been left out to make me seem like I'm a hypocrite. When I heard about the song again, it was done, completed, and playing on the radio...and that was Monday night.
It's true that people have made T.R.O.Y. over. I can't control what's done with my work after it's already out there but I can control who gets my blessings. Those who involve me and respect me in the process, get my blessings. Those who work behind my back – but all the while putting up a front like I'm down with it - don't.
I'm flattered that they wanted to remake my song and that they respect it for the classic that it is. I just think they should have talked to Atlantic Records to make sure things were done right. The biggest violation is from Atlantic Records but what can you expect? Labels are corporations and their whole point is to sell records. If they respect the artist in the process that would be nice, but they're not required. For as political as Lupe as, I expected him to know that and to have hopefully made them more accountable. I'm surprised that he's siding with the corporation on this.
Technically, there was no crime committed with the release of Lupe's version of my song. Technically, the song can be out there but I'm not talking about legalities. I'm asking: Where's the respect for the code among artists?
No ego, but I know my place in this game. I'm recognized as a legend and I accept that. But most of all, I'm a grown man. The love and admiration that people have for me as a producer and as a man of honor has been non-stop, consistent for over 20 years. That's based on something that can't be touched. My music and my character stands for itself. T.R.O.Y was a career-defining song has gotten me invited to the White House. It's not just because people think the production is dope. It's also because of what the song stands for. I want my music to touch people but I don't want to be walked over or lied on in the process.
I admit that my outburst on Monday night on Twitter was based on my reminiscing about Heav and Troy. I think about them every day. I apologize for being emotional about this. I had no intentions of hurting Lupe's career. That's not me. I'm known for building up not breaking down careers. Moving forward, I'm 100% in control and focused on what's good."
When asked why he felt it important speak out again, Pete Rock went on to say: "I've been around this game long enough to know controversies come and they go and a lot of times the facts of the situation get blotted out. This situation is hot enough for me to set the record straight. Like I said before, I'm moving on."
