In other news…
It seems Lupe made some false claims in the post and Prolyfic, a producer for FNF, decided to address those claims by posting the following response.
"i mean did your publicist write this for you to say or what , bcuz it is a complete opposite fabrication of what the company does to it's artist esp. .. and i'm not there to give "group therapy" to them anymore so now what ?
have you ever read ANY of our contracts ???
when we was on the phone and you said "this pro shit is whatever" did you realize that you was telling me that my son starving is "whatever" did you even have a MOTHERFUCKING CLUE ?? or did u just follow whatever chilly told you without finding out for yourself ?? do you have any idea what i actually REALLY came up to best buy for the day we released f&l ?? it damn sure was'nt to shake your hand .. see i don't have business issues with you bcuz you don't know anything about the business that went on in fnf as far as in-house goes .. all you knew was stuff that pertained to you ...and you was barely around to even know anything and you did'nt even care to check on things yourself ... you abandoned a entire group of ppl that broke bread with you and road with you to the dirt when we had absolutely nothing ... where is your loyalty little boy (fighters) ??? let me calm down ... wasalu don't make me put you out there ... cuz you foul dawg"
Prolyfic produced "Pressure", "American Terrorist" & "Just Might Be OK" for Lu's debut album, "Food & Liquor"

why does it seem that lupe is always talking reckless all the time. he needs 2 start thinking before he blogs. he's a good mc, but damn.
agreed....
I knew there was something shady about Lupe.
lupe says wats on his mind!...peeeps need 2 start doin that dese dayz! *hol tyt lupe*
Wait i thought Soundtrack produced Just Might Be OK, and American Terrorist. I aint neva heard of dis Prolific cat.
Lupe needs to be more careful at what he says though.
he still the best and if fnf give up on him.... they lost
damn lupe...oh well...that bizness fam...u gotta get urs first...u cant have a heart in bizness...look at HOV and the roc-a-fella situation...jay bodied them niggas for the company and now he eatin good...and then look at jay-z and kanye they eatin good off their royalties for ROC but not beans..freeway..and the rest of them dudes..at the end of the day bizness is bizness...no rules...jus money...whoever can get it wins...plain and simple...damn yall got me droppin knowledge...hahaha..BK WHERE U AT!!!!...WE IN HERE!!...im high as fukk!!...hahahah!!!

OMG i hate prolyfic,i talk to that nigga once before prolly don't remeber me...but he think he knows everything,,fuckin hate him...needs to learn when to shut the fuck up
I think maybe this producer may be angry......
hmmmmmmmm
As a Chicagoan, i think i speak for alot of people when i say, lupe is a visionary, what we talk about in his songs, its like a picture, u can see the cold streets, he speaks the truth joe, u draw
i fucks wit lupe
djtakeover you're a joke his not lyrically inclined like lil wayne hahaha i like wayne BUT lupe shits on wayne lyrically get off wanye dick nigga but i forgot you're a dj stick to club songs nigga cuz you don't know shit about real artist all you know about is club artist and this fake gangsta image these other rappers gotyou don't know shit about real hip hop
I Dont Know Why He Would Say Something Like That, And Lupe Would Prolly Help Him Out If He Did His Shit Better.
Lupe... smh.
damn, there's a shitload of hatin' on those boards.
Lupe loves and looks up to Chilly so maybe he just went by what Chilly tells him, like Prolyfic said. It happens. Doesn't mean Lupe's bad, just means he's illinformed.
how yall gonna be hatin on lupe, his album was ranked in the top 3 this year
smh????
Tell this dirt ass producer to thank Lupe for giving him a shot. Its not Lupe's fault he wanted to blow his money on a chain instead of feeding his kids. Tough luck nigga
lupe is sikk, hope he dnt retire dat will be a big loss 4 hip hop
LUPE HOT BUT WHO THE PHUCK CARES I DON'T.
U right that this dude's problem with Lupe aint relevant, but still...I always suspected of Lupe bein a shady fella, nah mean.He shouldn't have some publicist writing up bullshitted-not-called-for unecessary talk about fnf...But business is business.
Relax people... Y'all can't go around
saying one dude is fowl and that nigga shady, without knowing the full story.
Just let it all play out. It's crazy how some of y'all jump sides so quickly.
I agree with you... yall definitely choose sides toooooo fast. Yall havent even heard everything yet.
Yall should wait until after LUPE responds to pick a side. Lupe could respond a couple of ways...
He could play arrogant and tough and for the most part call Prolyfic's bluff (which I hope he does so I could get the full scoop lol).
Or he could be a HUMBLE man about it and apologize...or just dead the whole issue (which would be smart...being as though he didnt read his contracts...they might own his ass!).
But I know that Lupe most likely had some slick shit to say because he's been doing that a lot lately...and on top of that... I doubt Prolyfic would get THIS upset over something simple!
Stay tuned...
~Be Eazy!
LUPE IZ GON GET HOTTER SO GET USE 2 IT.HIM AND DA MOS ANTICAPATED RAPPER WILL HOLD DOWN HIPHOP!
LOL Damn... -28 props... That there has to be some kinda record!
wow he called him by his government name lol... he's really heated lol... get a contract wrote up and read it and u dont have to worry about it
i believe that that pro was out of line. he gives u shout outs on almost every song. so whut he lupe said some things that was wrong. he was jus tryin to put f&f known on the streets.
