Rapper Lupe Fiasco – most famous for (no song) off of (none of his) album(s) – was thrown off stage at an Obama inauguration concert for going on a half-hour anti-Obama rant mid song. Here’s the heavily edited video from Now This News:
Lupe has been kicking around the bottom rung of the rap ladder since 2006 when he was oddly, mildly relevant for a few months. After a series of disappointing albums, concerts, television appearances, and interviews where he seemed to regard himself as a much better rapper than either critics or album sales would dictate, he has since been relatively quiet for the last couple of years as he languishes around, playing half-full venues to half-interested fans. At least last night, though, he finally did something worth writing about. It’s as if he’s been writing a “Where Are They Now?” episode for the last five years and this was the point where the voiceover guys cleverly says: “And then… Lupe became a fiasco.”
Here are some tweets from the incident:

[...] Heems, formerly of Das Racist, released a video yesterday for “Soup Boys,” which excoriates Obama’s policy of killing with remote-control drones. The video was timed to coincide with the Inauguration. But you know, at least he didn’t go on an anti-Obama rant at an Inaugural concert. [...]

This guy is an absolute dummy… Lupe makes more money than the average rapper because of how his contract is set up. He doesn't have to sell as much as the next man because he is intelligent. He doesn't care about fame he cares about putting out what is in his heart. So much for this columnist having any credibility for not doing anything to be hyperbolic, but doing it for the love of truth.
