Well after watching the Lupe interview on Shade45, I could tell that Lupe wasn't so excited about this single, which I guess is kind of understandable since this is one of the singles that Atlantic had to be involved in.
But, in no means is this "selling out." For the people saying he sold out, you obviously don't know what selling out is, because Lupe's integrity, flow, and message are all still in tact. So what if his lyrics are not riddled with metaphors that you have to play over several times to understand? I think Lupe deserves to make one or a few even tracks like this after everything he's given us. And if this is what it takes to get Lasers, then whatever. The track is still a beast regardless.
