Rapper Scarface said, “everyday it’s been the same old thang on my block,” and Lupe Fiasco definitely agrees with him.

Lupe Fiasco stopped by MTV’s RapFix yesterday, and everything was going well. That is, until Sway decided to take Lupe on a trip down memory lane with a 2000 episode of MTV’s My Block.
After watching the 3-minute clip of My Block, Lupe Fiasco began to cry for a few minutes. To his dismay, Sway asked Lupe if those were tears of joy or tears of pain, and Lupe revealed:
“It’s some of them dudes is dead. Chicago’s the murder capital. The dudes in that video are in prison, a couple of fed cases, and then there’s ghosts. You see people that, that ain’t there. I don’t know, b. You just trying to make it better and come up out of it. That building is still there. Nothing’s changed. Some of those kids aren’t going to make it out of there. You feel so helpless. That’s me talking to me six years ago, and stuff is still the same. You feel hopeless. It’s a terrible thing and I see it everywhere…It hurts a lot to speak to ghosts.”
NEW MUSIC: Lupe Fiasco “Bitch Bad”
GlobalGrind definitely feels his pain. Seeing the people that you love so much locked up or dead can be heartbreaking, especially after the success Lupe has seen since then.
Keep ya head up Lupe!
