Lupe Fiasco did non just announced that he is quitting rap, simply also that he is canceling his upcoming album and its all over some anti-Semitic lyrics on his new single "N.E.R.D." freestyle.

The track sparked some controversy almost immediately subsequently its release earlier this week with some lyrics aimed at rapper J. Cole. But the was merely the kickoff of the backfire for Lupe from some quarters of hip hop. The lyrics in question does raised some eyebrows and i can understand why some demographic of rap would take offense.

"Artist gettin' robbed for their publishing / Past dirty Jewish execs that call back his alms from the covenant / I'll retire when I'thou tired, that's a Firestone death Easy to say when nobody's there, like a microphone check," Lupe Fiasco raps on the single.

Afterward the criticisms mount on Twitter it seems the Chicago rapper snapped and tweeted that he is quitting rap music and volition not release his upcoming album. Possibly shelving his album and announcing his retirement is a scrap too harsh only his fans didn't seem to care and continues to heavily criticized his lyrics. SoundCloud also briefly pulled the song from its platform presumably over the backlash due to the lyrics merely the music streaming platform has since back pedal and make the song available once more. Tin't blame SoundCloud for the later move, stay out of that fight unless you lot don't have a choice.

"Noted. I simply detect information technology odd that the fact they these executives stealing from artists is not the outrage and hasn't been mentioned notwithstanding," Fiasco wrote on Twitter as he struggles to defend himself from the mounting backlash. "Getting shell upward for telling the trusth is not how I plan on spending the rest of life."

Seems a lot of Lupe Fiasco's frustration is with Atlantic Records considering afterwards that rant confronting his fans he went on some other calling names this time. The Anti-Defamation league is also turning up the heat on the rapper past releasing a statement addressing those very same lyrics.

"The lyrics about artists being robbed by 'dirty Jewish execs' are offensive," the argument reads. "These lyrics reinforce the anti-Semitic myth of Jewish control of the music industry, a stereotype that has been exploited in recent years by well-known hatemongers."
