    Just because someone belongs to a certain religion doesn't mean they agree with everyone from that religion's actions.

    Ehh yeah except for the 9/11 thing. That was completely unnecessary.

    Something like diet coke killing brain cells also just isn't founded. Something like that is factual, it can't be "true on his behalf".

    A lot of the other stuff is opinion and I can see where he is coming from whether I agree or not.

    And again, I may seem to be being really critical, but I do honestly love the song regardless and can't stop listening to it.

    I don't think he meant it literally for diet coke. It might not be killing your brain cells but it damn't sure isn't healthy.

    Well, there is a conspiracy theory that aspartame causes brain cancer, but the FDA is suppressing the truth to make money. It seems unlikely that this is not what he is alluding to.

    It isn't a health food, but it isn't like the stuff is poison either. I'm not sure there has been any linkages between diet soft drinks and negative health outcomes (outside of silliness like people who order a diet drink then think they are "allowed" a large fry and get fatter).

    Aspartame isn't poison? :lol: That stuff is so toxic.

    Lupe is great, I'm really excited to hear his new album. All these songs have been amazing.

    As long as you don't ingest a metric fuckload of it, no it isn't.

    Coming from someone who's posted threads about how global warming doesn't exist because some guy from the weather channel said so, and how the world is secretly ruled by reptilians who live underground and the only person who had evidence was disintegrated by them and their phasers. :lol:

    Nope, I just remembered. And hey, even if I was creeping at least I'm not the one setting a precedent for believing in crackpot conspiracy theories.

    A lot of people do consume a massive amount soft drinks daily. Whether the be regular or diet, both are really bad for you. I'd imagine the constant daily consumption of diet soft drinks would be worse for you than the occasion metric fuckload. Still, none of us consumers know how bad or not bad it is for you. We can just assume.

    There is not any evidence that I know of that aspartame is deadly. If such evidence exists, I'd like to see it. The original study which found a link to brain cancer has been shown to be in massive doses and has been ultimately dismissed by the FDA.

    And yeah, Babali tends to go on about a bunch of craziness.

    Lupe Fiasco is trying to sell music to a previously untapped demographic: the insane.

    Pffft, if that was the case he wouldn't have insulted Glenn Beck, he would have asked him to sing Skylar Grey's part!

    I tend to go on about a bunch of craziness, eh?

    Wow, didn't know I was so popular around here that people can remember my posts from over 3 years ago. :rolleyes:

    "Oh yeah, that's that Babali guy who made that post about global warming and aliens over three years ago, he's batshit crazy."

    You guys are funny!

    Yeah, Lupe is an idiot and you guys are the smart ones who know what's going on in the world. Excuse me! :D

    Wow, Lupe was right. This song DID anger (or sorta got criticized by) many people, as he expected.
