Lupe Fiasco – “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free) [Video]
June 27, 2012
After all the controversy & supposed beef with Pete Rock over this “Around My Way” record that borrows from the classic Pete Rock & CL Smooth joint “T.R.O.Y.”, Lupe Fiasco finally reveals the brand new video for the single that will appear on his upcoming “Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album” project due September 25th. Lyrically Lupe doesn’t disappoint me in consistently delivering a message in his music just like the recently released “Bitch Bad” single people have been talking about over the last few days as well…..

Lupe Fiasco spoke on the recent controversy over his new song “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free) that samples/rearranges the Pete Rock & CL Smooth classic “T.R.O.Y.” while up on Chicago radio. Several hours later it appears both of the brothas did the right thing by getting on the phone & communicating. Check Pete Rock’s twitter below….

Lupe Fiasco – “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free)
May 22, 2012
New single from Lupe Fiasco for “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free) that will appear on his upcoming album “Food & Liquor 2” & it not only samples a classic record but the arrangement is very similar to Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s classic “T.R.O.Y.” (The Reminisce Over You). Personally I think Lupe should have maybe reached out to Pete Rock as a kind gesture before making this a single on his new album. Just out of respect if not for anything else. (Shrugs) Not long after this song debuted Pete Rock wasn’t too happy with it either speaking out from his twitter page…..Hopefully the brothas will “Straighten It Out”
