In an interview on 107.5 WCGI with UB Rodriguez, rapper and Chicago native Lupe Fiasco said that Hip Hop should take some of the blame for the recent beating death of student Derrion Albert.
“Hip-Hop has to take some fault for that. Just in the fact that the amount of violence and the amount of negativity that’s in Hip-Hop and the music, it attributes to so much that goes on, negatively, in the hood.” Lupe Fiasco also criticized radio stations for not promoting positive Hip-Hop.
