Pete Rock & Lupe Fiasco Continue To Spar
The saga continues between Pete Rock and Lupe Fiasco. After Lu sampled “T.R.O.Y.” for his new single “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free),” the veteran producer lashed out at him for the unauthorized remake. Rock later explained that he initially gave his blessing for Lupe to remake the song on the condition that he be involved in his next album, though after they had the initial discussions, he never heard from him or Atlantic Records again. After Lupe went on a harsh radio rant last week, Pete Rock spoke with MTV News about why he let his emotions get the best of him, stating that he was thinking about Heavy D and Troy and that it wasn’t his intention to damage Lupe’s career.
