But who knew Lupe’s political awareness began during childhood?
Lupe recently dropped his new album, Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1, and of course, his new album is very political.
In a recent interview with NPR, Lupe talked about his political awareness and how he didn’t have to say the “Pledge Of Allegiance” as a child:
“When I was a little kid, actually my whole family – my mother and father – instructed us not to say the pledge of allegiance in school,” he recalled. “They wanted us to understand fully – fully – not just haphazardly and for the sake of making my teacher happy – they wanted us to understand fully what we were doing at that young age, and what that means, and what America is, and what is your place within that.”
