Kid Cudi Responds to Kendrick Lamar's Ferguson Views, Starts Twitter Beef with Lupe Fiasco

Kendrick Lamar: Azealia Banks

"I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it's already a situation, mentally, where it's f--ked up. What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting — it starts from within," Lamar told Billboard.

Cudi's rant started yesterday, Jan. 10, and Fiasco interrupted soon after.

"Dear black artists, dont talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to n---az everywhere. If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, don't point the blame and talk down," he tweeted.

Fiasco said Cudi called him a "swindler" a few months ago. He added that he tried to get in contact with Cudi privately, but to no avail. Fiasco went on to call his contemporary "hypocritical" and a backstabber.
