Myke is right. Hip-Hop is the only music genre that I can't separate the rapper from the music. Now some people do because it's "entertainment". But, people like me who love the Hip-Hop as a whole, I look it as edutainment and stories from personal perceptive.

I miss the time when record companies and A&R's didn't pretend like they knew what the streets wanted and artist had more room to be expressive and creative. Damn I'm old, I said Record companies and A&R's! Not being able to separate the rapper from the music is by design. Type A rapper is the actor who plays a street role for the public. Pretty harmless except for impressionable minds. Type B is the wannabe rapper who believes the life has to match to shoot em up and always high music. Type B rappers usually find themselves getting killed, dying of overdoses, or killing someone over alleged beef that didn't have to exist. Type C rapper understands the concept of needing to portray an image but carefully chooses image to portray. Type C rapper just want's to make music and buy Mom and Dad that house.

[@HNGamingOfficial]

But it's not right, because he jumped the gun without actually listening to the message. That's the point. If you're right about responding to a slight portion of a sentence or thought, that overall doesn't make you correct because you didn't listen to what the actual thought was. Trying to defend stages of what you say is the epitome of backing down and not knowing to admit when you're wrong. Being humble allows you to have perspective of when you're wrong.

[@jamesburgess2k]

"Ownership" of an artist usually happens to new artist who start with a small following. And *stans* feel that their loyalty they had with the artist since they were underground all the way to music stardom, is what they perceive as ownership. Like when you find someone who's super good and you wanna put all of your friends on to this new rapper. No one goes as far to think the artist owes them respect for supporting them since the beginning, but many artists or entertainers, constantly say "thank you to my fans, who supported me thru the highs and the lows, etc..." so it's not crazy to think some people might think THEY are a very important part of the artist success. And with the rate off new artists emerging, the easiness to spread the word for a new artist you like thru social media, and the easiness it is to go viral, I think this mentality of "ownership" may increase to people who don't truly respect the artist, but only their work.

[@fairgamewithtjorum]

Y'all being disingenuous. When y'all reviewed Lasers/ Friend of the People? The discussion got rather personal. Modest Media took it beyond music. Mike C-Town is / was legendary for his Lupe rants. Had some female in a car calling him "sell outs" over production choices. Dead End Hip Hop when reviewing lyricist. Y'all sorta put em in a box. Critiques are more heavy handed. Joe Budden "All Love Lost" for example. Feefo said I quote, "Joe sounds good" but I don't want him in this lane. Like why does all of that matter, if the music sounded good? This is some of what Lupe is speaking on

[@TawandaTD97]

Tj C.H.I They were right tho. Lupe is full of shit and he's salty when peolpe don't like his trash music.

Tawanda Batana nah, Lupe was speaking some real shit. Lu's video was over 40 minutes long. Dead End ONLY addressed one part which is the beginning of "Super Facts"!! I get there're music critics who's passionate. But here FOOD 4 Thought, I subscribed too this channel because C-Town went in on Lupe harshly. It's funny cause I'm like okay "these dudes sound like fools" from da barber shop. But too ACT as they totally innocent? Can't fuck w/ that.

[@heemnificent]

THANK YOU!!

[@HNGamingOfficial]

Complaining about a style change isn't entitlement though. Entitlement is literally: feeling that you are owed something without having put any work into why you think you deserve something. Wanting someone to not have changed a style isn't entitlement, it's disagreeing with the change they've taken. It has nothing to do with a generation gap and everything to do with the natural human trait of liking things to remain the same.

Something to add to the conversation... I have a friend who never gave Lupe a chance after finding out he didn't skate. Something totally unrelated to the music made the music lose it's value in his mind. To me that's what make Lupe great though... he is just a guy from Chicago but through his intellect is able to put him self in so many different peoples shoes and create compelling music that gives you insight into different worlds.

[@NCsPride704]

Supporting an artist seriously, is a form of investment. No we dont own them but if 1000 ppl saying your music is lacking they can't ALL be lying. . .

[@scarecrowzw]

Thought I would revisit this one. As artists, we have the need/mandate to create. Our creations come from places where most people dare not venture. It's a navigation in murky waters in which every attempt takes a unique route. Some will say critiquing draws refined attention to projects whilst an artist may view it differently. The creation of a body of work that is revered and puts the artist on a pedestal of critics/fans is precarious. We often feel pigeonholed, and it becomes a difficult thing to escape the formula for success. "I 'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit!" Context may be misconstrued, but art is subjectively consumed. The internet has made it a popularity contest via grouped opinions. It's great to be noticed, yet there is freedom in flying under the radar. Expression becomes less audible once all eyes are on the creative mind. We don't want separation from our craft. When you say "my favourite" artist ought to... You imply that I am now in the vice of your nostalgia because of a good time in your reference to experiencing my work. #scarecrowzw

I feel Lupe reaches for higher understanding in all situations n dgaf what the surface is cs in all honesty everything he does he feels is part of him his art cs he dnt need fans to govern what he is looking for or need or tell him how to be n his universe. Dehh isnt perfect but it is hip hop culture n it does reflect the days bein wit da homies n reflecting on same convos jokes or not...misunderstandings or not...its bigger than the title of this video n i think it was meant for just what it caused which is another real dehh conversation rather if its what lupe liked or not n if lupe wants to understand it he will but dont guarantee a response n dnt feel bad if he doesnt. This is just another blessing dehh needed to grow bc it shows that if artist care they watch...n all artist who have fucked with yall are "hip hop" lets be real they are watching n i dnt believe for a second lupe thinks dehh is bad for culture nor hip hop illiterate. Not everybody can do what you guys do for the culture n yall didnt have to. Keep ya head up Myke u didnt take an L u took a win for something bigger than disappointment or critique. Cant say i know how it feels but I do know Mya hmu after i told her i was a die hard fan n that lets me know when i spoke into the universe "im going to reach people" i knew the universe was going to respond. #lawsofattraction N it may not be the response we want but it was a response needed in this season....not just for myke but for dehh.

[@DonnieMoreland]

It's disappointing that Lupe would use DEHH as a vessel for his critiques of music criticism. To celebrate The Company Man, when Justin celebrates DEHH for their integrity, shows that he is entirely disinterested in this ensemble. He's only interested in proving a point. If he cared about "Super Facts", he would have done his due diligence and listened to the entire conversation or watched their other content. There is no way that he even goes to Instagram, regarding grievances about this group, if he had done an ounce of research about their approach to hip hop criticism.

[@omaralmalky6213]

his point about some critics and attacking the artists rather than the music is correct, and there are several examples of the guys in DEHH doing so to artists including Lupe himself. Granted, they changed drastically in the last couple of years and their reviews are much better now but I won't be mad at an artist for taking an issue with the way they make or used to make their content.

Tawanda Batana Accurate in terms of what? Their assessment of the music? I don't think accuracy can be associated with a review because it's mostly subjective. Them assassinating the artist's character? That simply should never be a part of a music review and i think every critic would agree. The part about relevance, you're right, Lupe is not in the mainstream eyes like he used to be but I listen to and respect so many underground and indie artists to really care about relevance or let it affect my opinion of an artist.

[@TawandaTD97]

Mylo They assessed Why Lupe Lies about his music.... Why he thinks he's better than he is... Lupe is very pretentious that's a fact which is why he fell off so bad.. Hes a great rapper and has some amazing albums but he doesn't feel he has to explain his music which is arrogant because every legendary artist such as Michael Jackson, Prince, David Bowe and so on so Explain thier art.

Considering the whole show revolves around unscripted dialogue, a small mistake like forgetting to say 'favourite' in between 'my' and 'artist' once at the beginning on the video seems like a reasonable mistake. He shouldn't have been attacked for something like that. I've been watching DEHH for YEARS and I know for sure that Myke and Lupe completely share the same opinion regarding this topic. It's quite unfortunate man.. I kinda wished Lupe watched the entire video. He would've understood and I think he'd have a lot of respect for the DEHH crew and especially Myke.

[@patyramirez7202]

Love these old brothers maaan, they tell it how it is and they raw

[@ashtonadams8106]

Two things 1. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time Lupe has subbed y’all, he’s spoken directly to assertions y’all made about his career and artistry ( granted most of this is old) 2. As critics (even begrudgingly so) it is y’all job to convey a clear point at all times it was a choice for that section to be used at the beginning of the video if that’s what is used as a preview you can’t be surprised or expect people to not draw conclusions based on just that (it’s just like clickbait not as egregious but still clickbait).

[@gameflymc3374]

Very late but I have to strongly disagree with your 2nd point. I get that it was used as a preview and it contained a point that, out of context, was a highly contentious issue for Lupe, but he shouldnt be drawing conclusions just because he feels very strongly about this point. He doesn’t understand that this preview isn’t highlighting that issue but instead highlighting a different point that discussed in the video. But either way I dont think dehh are expecting Lupe to not draw conclusions because they know that he didnt watch the entire video because if he did, he would be smart enough to understand the wider context of the situation. Him not watching the entire video is the problem that dehh have, not him drawing conclusions

[@oliviacharmagne7838]

I totally get Lupe's frustration even though it was definitely directed at the wrong person..Sometimes fans can get a little biased on what they want to hear from a certain artists and that can make an artist feel like you may feel that you own them. For an example,when Future went through his Turn On the Lights phase a lot of his core fans had a problem with it because that's not what they wanted from Future but an artists has the right to make the music that reflects where they are emotionally at the time..just because you enjoy the dark stuff does not mean the artist is suppose to be in a constant state of darkness..Therefore in that aspect fans can be kind of controlling instead of digesting the artist in every phase and enjoying the journey

[@AW3SOM3]

He was talking about critics in general and not just DEHH.

[@VandalCabbage]

Well said DEHH, Lupe should've watched the whole video before trying to call anyone out. As for some of y'all in the comments though, y'all are saying Lupe was in his feelings but I see people in here saying he sucks and he's a bitch, clearly you're in your feelings as well. Keep it civil and hear each other out, and it'll all be good.

[@01Iamme01]

Lupe had some good points, ..but y'all aren't doing anything wrong & I hope you don't try to change because of this. It's dope hearing your opinions on albums & hip-hop culture! Btw, have y'all listened to Noveliss' new album (Kenjutsu Under the Moonlight) yet? It's everything! 🙌💯

[@BLewTheKake]

Artists definitely feel like fans feel like they own them. #salute to yall #salute to Lupe

[@jjbing3]

I clicked play, I own y’alls souls. 😂

[@rpmthebrownrobe3]

hip hop discussed in an eloquent way is dope,,,,,,,thanks for holding that standard

[@sir_alejan1435]

Damn this was necessary! Good job guys.👏🏽

[@parkerbrother12]

I think at the end of the day what you guys do is great and its for the culture as a whole which is bigger than any individual artist. Lupe is great but he is one of many and Mike put it best artist wants to be separated from the music when negativity surrounds them...that's facts

[@ThomasBassey]

I can remember Ken and Feefo being hesitant to like Tetsou and Youth primarily because they were still upset about Lupe's prior misses. I remember clearly Myke and Beezy praising it with specific details of the songs they liked. If there was any review that Lupe might be referring to it may have been that

[@2dahiphop]

DOPE. Makes me proud to be a day one fan of you guys.

[@carlonj.govender8920]

Lupe is the type of person to believe the content rather than the context

[@Apattymatenahoru]

If people dont watch the DEHH videos fully then you miss out the point of DEHH as a whole. And I think the moment when Kendrick mentioned DEHH about the fellas getting the clue of the original title of To Pimp A Butterfly is one of those moments what DEHH is all about. The music and the knowledge that these guys put out on reviews and to share with other fans. I think artists who DEHH are doing a review on should appreciate DEHH for building this community so they can get to hear reactions of critics from their fan base thats not coming out their pockets but out of their deepest thoughts

[@ModestMediaTube]

Ales Patty Matenahoru right, we take the approach from a hip hop fans perspective added with a thought out critique and breakdown of the music.

[@TheHolyFlipsterTHF]

Lu's Mixtapes and Singles are very underrated. Some of his throwaways around the time of Lasers would have made Lasers a great album.

[@SOB308]

Lupe is the prime example as to why you should never meet your heroes/idols. No matter how dope the music is, you will walk away disappointed.

[@jeanferdinand4347]

SOB308 I doubt you even watched Lupe's video, these guys are reaching

[@paulm394]

SOB308 yea lupe has probs been shit on and treated like he’s owned by critics and fans for years. He saw someone say that shit on one of the most popular and reputable music reviewers and misconstrued it. All the people in these comments r doing exactly what he criticized. Sayin shit about his personality not his music.

[@bizarrenrugged3370]

SOB308 B.O.B > Lupe Fiasco

[@manga3040]

That philosophy is built upon a foolish pursuit. That being the idea of having any idols. The problem is not meeting someone like Lupe. Its idolizing these people in the first place. Have no idols. That is just the ego fabricating an image of a person selfishly to make you feel better.

[@manga3040]

@@bizarrenrugged3370 lmao...BOB does not even light a candle to lupe

[@orangemania5095]

Ah, the age old question: Who owns art, artist or the ones appreciating the art? At what point does an artist's work transcend them and is owned by the public

[@dschlitz588]

another great video!

[@dacreativebrinson66]

I think this is Dead End's most important video to date.....

[@inverseculture1919]

Five years ago he beefed with 2Dopeboyz, now y'all. Still got love for Lupe, those early mixtapes are rap classics.

[@kwuancolbert213]

Hey guys. I just wanted to leave this to say that I don’t think Lupe was focusing on you guys singularly when speaking about “they talk about the artist and not the music”. What I got was that he was speaking on was review channels in general. What do you guys think?
