“‘I Don’t Want To Be Jay-Z And Be Worth $400 Million”- Lupe Fiasco

”There’s a misunderstanding with my fanbase,” he says. ”People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do. They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.

”I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”

Method Man Responds To Wacka Flocka On Lyrical Rappers [Audio Included]

“The kids are the ones who say what is good and what is not and that's where they f*ck up at because they let other people subliminally put sh*t in their heads.”

As reported earlier, Wacka Flocka Flame made the statement that lyrics weren't important and even clowned lyrical rappers saying that they weren't getting any money.

Most chose to laugh at such words as many laugh at the name Wacka Flocka, but Method Man looked to weigh in a little more on the subject and provide input while alongside Ghostface Killah and Raekwon.

With 3 members of the Wu Tang in full effect, Mef broke down things very simply for Flame and let him be aware his career in the long run.

“It's all good. He has the right to his own muthaf*cking opinion. Let him feel that way, but the people that are in the know, that know what time it is, know that if you ain't saying sh*t out your mouth, then your time is very slim in this muthaf*ckin game.”

While not looking to diss all rappers from the South, the rapper added the fact that it has created the lane for simplicity and allowed anybody to jump in the game and call themselves a rapper.
