A Tribe Called Quest - Fiascogate Issue

2008-01-10T07:51:00.000-08:00

So Lupe claims not to have heard this album and has been a victim of fellow bloggers - labeling the issue "Fiascogate" - probably after the Watergate scandal or something - didn't bother researching on it. But anyway, so Lupe think Quest ain't that good - after forgetting their lyrics on the VH1 Hiphop Honours Award ceremony - and goes on about how he never listened to them (okay forgiven-bt then again hw can he say they ain't that good), and is not going to (ummmm - aint that going a bit too far)? Lemme just say dude ain't known for his hiphop judging abilities so he can be forgiven - especially after giving us The Cool - which if he manages to brush off this controversy, could become a hiphop classic. Dude should however learn to be a little polite and accept wrong. Fans are forgiving - but when you attack Quest? Midnight Marauders dude...come on!! Just listen to it and you'll know what the fuss is about.

This was something different from the usual rap music that was reigning at the moment - and their debut album turned into a classic.
