					<description><![CDATA[I like Lupe as an artist, but I completly disagree with his statement. I feel like he is doing the Kanye thing, &quot;President Bush hates black people!&quot; during Katrina. Lupe&#039;s cds are good to me, but is this a publicity move like Kanye? I don&#039;t agree with a lot of things that Obama&#039;s presidency have done, but who agrees with everything that any President has done? Why call him a terrorist?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ok Watkins-  its great you are patting Lupe on the back for this absurd statement.  Obama is a terrorist?  Yes we are in more wars than we should care to be.  The world is a complex place however and there are many political forces that would destabilize the entire world order.  Like it or not ( I do not) the entire industrial world has been built around continued flow of oil. When that flow is threatened it unfortunately must be dealt with or social order collapses for much of the world.

Lupe&#039;s statement is the type of statement we would expect to hear from people in the music business.  Emotional, yet uneducated ( or simply ignoring) of the political realities that exist that must be dealt with to keep relative order in the world.  I think Obama and the US should be criticized for many things, I think calling him and the US terrorists is a bit of a stretch.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dr. Watkins is Tripping! 

1st of all Lupe is not one of the Best Rappers to hit the game.  He cant carry the microphone of a KRS 1, Mos Def, Chuck D, or even a Common, Etc...  Yeah, he is clever, but so is my 8 yr old!  2nd - Lupe, if you don&#039;t like this country, it&#039;s political system or it&#039;s current President.., Leave!  Go to one of these other places and see if you have the freedom to openly complain, flip the Bird and tumb your nose, all the while sleeping, rising and profiting from the very system of socio-political,economic, military enforced freedom that allows a young, arrogant, miseducated black man, (who does not vote)to make money making what he calls music.  

This country is not perfect.  It has failed in many ways to live up to the hype and promise, and true- change is slow, BUT this county is better for Black people than any other place on the planet.  President Obama is not a terrorist, he has to defend this country and it&#039;s policies even against people, principals and ideals that some inside our borders embrace.  

Thats the beauty of America, we have the freedom to disagree, protest, complain and even change if we chose too, because the Commander and Chief is willing to go to war to defend our freedom even to disagree with him.  Theres a saying, &quot;if you want Peace, prepare for War.&quot;  God Bless our Troops.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I read articles like this it makes me think that the author really doesn&#039;t know anything about HipHop. Lupe is hardly anything new when it comes to socio-political HipHop and I&#039;m not talking about the &quot;conscious rap&quot; movement of the early 1990&#039;s. I&#039;m talking about a consistent movement within HipHop that has been happening SINCE the 90&#039;s. No disrespect to Lupe but he isn&#039;t anywhere near the other artists who have been doing these kind of lyrics for the past two deacades. Try turning off the radio and the BET for awhile and go to a B-boy event or hang with some graffiti writers and get clued in to some of that True School. Peace.]]></description>
