Music stars Lupe Fiasco, Azealia Banks and Kid Cudi have all put their social media skills to the extreme this weekend with a full-fledged Twitter war.
Azealia started the argument by responding to a Kendrick Lamar-related Twitter post on Friday (January 9).

Former G.O.O.D. Music member Kid Cudi also joined in on the clashing.
Dear black artists, dont talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to niggaz everywhere.

If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, don't point the blame and talk down.

Lupe kept the fire going with remarks geared at Cudder.

All of em some confused revolutionaries who make music mostly for white folks.
This shit is funny.
Some one need to slapp the shit outta banks
Somebody needs to slap the shit outta you if you can’t see the bigger picture. Kendrick sh*tted on the African American race w/ that remark. It’s irresponsible to not be clear with his words if he’s talented.
As much as lips rants politically bc he has a Muslim gf and he acts like he wants to live in Syria but hasn’t moved, I can’t give that lame any brownie points. He need to get back to his kick push days and hush up.
How did he shit on the black race more like its the truth black folks would rather do hood rat shit then to do the right thing
speak for yourself dude….
It the truth don’t get mad at the truth
Truth for who tho?
Because i don’t think you know me at all….
like i said my dude…speak for yourself…
Maybe if black folks stopped killing each other or committing crimes we would get some respect
Yes….because no other race does anything like that….
Yes…because THATS the reason why people are racist…because most Blacks are criminals…
…Racism is irrational….therefore there isn’t any kind of rationale i can provide that will create any kind of change in perception…that change comes from the person/people who thinks like you. Stop blaming the victim of racism for your negative generalizations of an entire group of people. You’re and adult….act like it and quit playing dumb.
You quit playing dumb blacks folks just need to stop trying to be rappers and drug dealers and be something productive stop trying to get on worldstar
And you speak of the entire race….because thats what the majority of Blacks do right?
Am i trying to be a drug dealer? Please…go on and tell me more about my life since you know so much….
like i said….quit playing dumb. Youre and adult. so act like one.

SOHH didn’t even show all of the banks Lupe tweets. There was one where she says he don’t tour then he shows a tour list. She says Australia they only like you cause your black then he shows a pic of her on TMZ when she was in Australia and got hit with a can.
She is a joke. She is a black eye on hip hop. She admits to stealing flows? That alone should get her banished. She took so many L’s she need to just go away.
I disagree about the flows… Lupe admitted to taking a couple of jays flows.. (along with 90% of 90s rappers) and i’m sure took from Kane and kool g rap and so on and so forth…
in reflection I will agree with you about the flows. Most artist today owe a lot to Kool G Rap so in that aspect I do agree with you. I just felt that the context she said it in, when she said yea i stole your flow and now I’ll steal Jay z’s was disrespectful. I know it sounds odd but there is a fine line between emulating and straight theft and I feel like she’s just a thief
Yep, G Rap is so slept on among the all time greats it’s ridiculous! Dude is a legend and no doubt at all very slept on as an artist. I don’t give two fucks about her though tbh, she can jack a flow all she wants and I won’t even bother listening to a song this broad has made nor care to.

im still hoping for 2015 that banks commit suicide
Sorry brah. Banks won that argument..she talk allot but she made sense brah. Lupe always on a Anti-Obama, Gaza Strip, drone complaining political satire bs too ..he rants as much as she does. Kudi killed it and I agree with him and Azealia! Kendricks remark was too general and unproductive
He holds allot of responsibility to be sloppy with his words and downing his whole race if he is a lyricist we known him to be!
Lupe is about real stuff and giving his pov…
Banks is begging for attention talking 24/7 about others rappers
Lupe is talking about obama
Banks is talking about iggy outfit
Big diff
But yo dont worry i respect your opinion

twitter is rappers worst enemy
Im confused, would it have been ok had Lamar made those remarks to Ebony or another black publication? other than that whats ghe the problem?
You got it….for the most part….
Yes he would be chastised….but he would at least have a cushion. Black people would just let him know that he needs to speak for himself and he would then have to correct himself…..But he wasn’t speaking to a generally black audience when he did that interview…he then belittled and generalized a entire race with a simplistic and ignorant statement that minimizes the extreme racial issues that effect America to this day…which is also a common argument done by known racist….as well as blaming the victim for other people’s irrationality…Fact is….i could come from Harvard and spent my life doing community service….it won’t matter to a racist…People act like racism is this new thing that ties together with current cliches and stereotypes through pop culture…When people actually starting considering how ridiculous statements like Lamar’s is THEN we can make some progress towards eliminating irrational processes such as racism.
i think progress comes from within, our communities, homes, ourselves. a racist is a racist period and is no matter what. i dont think it makes a difference what publication the remarks were made to i dont think he meant speak for a whole entire race but those that needed to hear it and change and leave it up for your own interpretation.
for the life of me, i dont understand why people march and protest “racially motivated crime” but not crime in their own neighborhood, kids dying kids killing each other. then when someone from the “hood” goes to jail immediately they screaming “free” so and so. start with ourselves and who cares about a racist. most of them make money off their antics or are hiding behind keyboards, gated communities, or trailer parks and dont have a pot to piss in. small minded people they are!!!
plus folk gotta stop giving a darn what these celebrities say. i do believe this interview is totally opposite of what his award shows acceptance speeches, and other interviews have been. i was surprised when i read the remarks, doesnt add up. he went from giving hope and inspiration to something totally different. thats why I dont believe any of them nowadays smh
” i dont think he meant speak for a whole entire race ”
The problem is that he did….he generalized a entire group…and minimized the actions of racist by putting blame on the victims of racism….thats counter productive….
It might of been by accident…but i doubt it considering how much of a conformist kendrick is….
“for the life of me, i dont understand why people march and protest “racially motivated crime” but not crime in their own neighborhood, kids dying kids killing each other.”
This is false….100 percent false…and exactly what racist use in arguments to create sense out of their racism…Black people have been in their communities on stop the violence campaigns for generations….Just because its not promoted by white people and other people are ignorant to such acts doesn’t mean they don’t exist…Even fucking Al Sharpton was in the protest on the inner city campaign over at Chicago….so to say something like that is completely false and uninformed.
We as a people already acknowledge faults in our own communities….we don’t need others to point them out as a rebutal for their own irrationality, generalizations, and stereotypes….and we damn sure don’t need a Black guy catering to those people with the same ignorant logic….
I agree we dont need others to point out our faults. I havent been the biggest Al Sharpton fan in forever. But im glad youve pointed out something to me that I didnt know about him.
I prefer the grass roots movements. I just prefer not letting celebs speak for me and for those that do feel that way shouldnt put so much into what these people say.
I think she has vaginal odor that’s untreated so she stay with a stinky attitude
Lupe’s the only real MC..I don’t ever hear Cudi or Banks on black radio sooooooooo…

DKendrick “We Don’t Respect Ourselves” is too general and your downing your own race. He can be more clear and concise to say that we need to respect ourselves by keeping on the right side of the law and get more youth in the police force then complaining about being out numbered and taken advantage of.
Obama is not gonna come down to ferguson as much as it would help. It’s unrealistic.
Do not take your authority to your head if we do get black American officers & do not take our “freedoms” out of context in a country not built for blacks constitutionally. Look out for your community and keep good aspects and arts of African American culture alive, not for racial separation but bc we deserve a identity as much as other ethnic groups to BUILD! Other black People in this world are tired of hearing African-Americans cry wolf when our sons are out in the middle of the street where he should not be. Balance out the equation my people, unite!
Sorry Azealia Banks won that argument, Kendrick with a publication should be allot more responsible if he is a lyricist that we know him to be!
