And here is Lupe's Response to Using Pete Rock. He says his team reached out and got his blessing to use the sample. (See first 3 mins of interview)

The track is cool but a song like Troy should be left alone.
-
Pete Rock is ?

did lupe not get his cosign before sampling this or are you just messing around?

Refreshing.

sig worthy

LUPE THE GOAT
-
Dope, but not feeling the beat rip.
-
Wow. Not sure how to feel about this.
-
I'm loving this
-
smh at jacking the whole TROY beat, really ? . You couldn't have reached out to Ye, Just Blaze, or Pete Rock himself for an original beat.
-
Pete Rock is (rightfully) ? off about this track. Shame on Lupe. He's got all the talent in the world, but he can't stay out of his damn way. First the Tribe Called Quest debacle & now this. -

Thats how i feel im shocked someone like lupe would just take a beat like TROY and rap over it for a single. I mean im glad there are no more euro beats but damn lupe lol.

So ppl gonna dismiss the fact he's paying homage to Pete Rock and TROY by bring this beat back for the younger kids who worship ASAP and such?

That makes this ? even more inexcusable. -

Word? So howcome there wasnt an uproar the 1st time?

There's a difference between a SINGLE and a FREESTYLE. T/S has it listed as a single, so if Lupe is literally going to rip Rock's beat and use it is as a single, then yes I have a problem with it.
If it's just a freestyle for his next mixtape, then it's fine since that kind of ? is standard nowadays. -
I'm curious to see how this is gon play out now

And even if he had it as a single he should have reached out to Pete Rock and had a talk with him to get his blessing or not get it and put another beat down to it. What shocks me is how easy it would have been to just have the producer make another beat. The subject matter is cool i can feel that but as long as you have a orig beat thats not euro pop it would have still been big.

? please, rapping on troy is like rapping on Mass Appeal. Any hiphop fan should know these beats, it doesn't need to be brought back. -
dope...
really don't get why pete rock is ? , lupe did the track justice....
he should of asked first though i guess *shrugs*
-
I also think the beat is untouchable, but it's a sample at the end of the day. Tom Scott and The California Dreamers created the original song that Pete Rock sampled, and if they got mad at him back when TROY came out, they'd look bitter as hell. Instead of going at Lupe, just use it as an opportunity to bring awareness to TROY for a new generation, because the comments on YouTube are about NBA Street Vol 2 haha

Ima assume you skimmed past this part of my post
Yeh you did that.So ppl gonna dismiss the fact he's paying homage to Pete Rock and TROY by bring this beat back for the younger kids who worship ASAP and such?
