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

    Kendrick Lamar's recent remarks on the murder of Michael Brown started a few beefs with the likes of Azealia Banks and Lupe Fiasco. The rapper said the problem is part of a bigger issue that starts with African-American communities. Kid Cudi shared his opinion on the statement before Fiasco took issue with his tweets, starting a sub-beef of sorts, "Vibe" notes."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.
