Lupe jabbing at his label in Lasers?

[Hadez]

So everybody knows Lasers was an album for his label. they wanted it, didn't even let him have much control over "The Show Goes On." But it sounds like he's fighting them within the very album they forced him to make.

Example ("I Don't Wanna Care Right Now"):
"Said that respect was something had to work for
But that ain’t gonna work though
Get your respect, but lose all my worth, no
You can get that, get a hearse, go
Don’t leave 48 you’ll find a killer in the first floor
It was me boy, too commercial
Feeling out of place like PETA at a fur store
So I left with a couple dozen fur coats
Said I could never break away from your hold
Watch me, turn though"

Basically saying he won't give in to the demands (even though he sorta did by making the album). then saying it's too commercial for him and he doesn't feel at home with the mainstream thing but he'll reap the benefits (the "fur coats") and move on to what he wants (hence watching him "turn")

Then on "The Show Goes On," the song that they themselves insisted he make, almost the whole 1st verse is about piece of shit authorities (for him it'd be his label, but disguising it as just any authoritative figure)

thoughts?

I always thought the general consensus was that Letting Go was about his label.

On that specific track, no lol. I Don't Wanna Care Right Now is literally his worst song.

lol i mean on his albums all together, "Kick, Push" was an alright track, but is he as good as some ppl on this site claim he is?

He's a good writer with a smooth flow/delivery and alot of content. It really depends on whether or not you're feeling his production or not. He's not the "Most Enlightened MC" or the genius that some people try to make him out to be, but he's good and always worth checking out.
