And it’s certainly a helluva lot easier after \u00a0you’ve built a career and fanbase with a major label machine behind you during most of your years as an artist. But Lupe has been expressing how his artistic integrity has been shitted on<\/a>,\u00a0for a while now, while under his current label, Atlantic Records.
