"Later at his show at the Fox Theater, the rapper rallied the audience and urged his fans to show support for Occupy Wall Street by joining the Oakland protests. He then showed his love for the Bay Area, calling out "Rest in peace, Mac Dre," to a screaming crowd. "I gotta pay homage. [He was] one of the first. The first."

Fiasco then talked about how the Bay Area has influenced his music.

"The dude who really made me want to rap, that blew my mind with hip hop -- do you all know who that is?" he asked. "I'll do a little rap. The first time I heard this, I was in 6th grade." He then rapped the opening verse from the 1992 hit "187 Proof" by Hayward's Spice 1."

theres a video on the bottom. when Lupe shouted Messy Marv the crowd started booing.

[recklessofgilaz]

Thats Wassup! Much Respect to Lupe!

 

[Mr. Illmannered]

Think we'll see a collabo? Probably not. That's what always drives me nuts...people saying how much certain artists influenced them and have the platform to bring those artists back out to a whole new audience and refuse to do it.

 

[fillyacup]

for reals. are rap politics that bad that an artist who supposedly grew up on anothers cant even get a collab? are they to smugg that they wont do it for little to know money?

I was listening to the Music Choice channel years ago when I first heard of him and it was one of the facts about him that Spice 1 was his biggest influence.


Still Lupe's best track

Curren$y is legit in an interview he mentioned that he was really into rbl posse, and he mentions mac dre in one of his song. Dude is tight

That's their job to do that. It means nothing, but getting the crowd on your side & pumped. It's part of the show.
