Lupe Fiasco made an emotional appearance on MTV's RapFix Live on Wednesday. Sway showed scenes from a 2006 special called My Block, which showed a young Lupe talking about growing up on the mean streets of Chicago, the positive influence his mom has had on his life and why he chose to rap about positive things verses the gang violence he grew up around.
After the clip stopped, Lupe broke down and cried.
"Some of them dudes are dead," Lupe said. "Chicago the murder capital. It's dude in that video in a prison. A couple of fed cases and then there's ghosts. You see people that aint there. you're just trying to make it better and come up out of it. Some of those kids aint gonna make it out of there."

50 Cent and Oscar De La Hoya went at it on Twitter on Wednesday, July 25th with the G-Unit boss hinting at a huge power move to come.
50 Cent recently became a licensed boxing promoter when he formed TMT (The Money Team) Promotions. Tuesday De La Hoya sent out a tweet seemingly taking a shot at 50.
50 got wind of what was said and fired back on Wednesday.
Oscar pretended not to know 50 had become a promoter and replied by saying TMT and his Golden Boy Promotions could maybe work together some day.
From that point on the G-Unit boss went in on De La Hoya.
The significance of TMT managing Floyd Mayweather Jr. would be huge. He is the highest earning athlete in the world. Forbes estimates Mayweather made $85 million last year. Whoever promotes Mayweather Jr. instantly becomes a major power player in the sport.
Before the day was over 50 would throw a couple of more jabs De La Hoya's way.

The story of the Jackson family civil war has taken an even more bizarre turn. A judge has removed Katherine Jackson as the guardian to Michael Jackson's three kids, Paris, Blanket and Prince Michael, and appointed Tito Jackson's 34-year old son, Trent, as temporary guardian.
Judge Mitch Beckloff advised Trent and his lawyer, Charles Shultz, to seek a permanent guardianship, after hearing stories that Katherine is being held against her will by third parties according to TMZ. The parties being accused of holding her against her will are Randy, Janet, Jermaine and Rebbie.
TJ told the judge he got a strange call from Katherine Tuesday night. She reportedly sounded strange with slurred speech.
"I've never heard my grandmother talk like that. In every way. The sound of her voice, the pauses. Asked simple questions, she wasn't sure. Some of her words seemed a little slurred. The choice of her vocabulary. I've never heard her used those words in the past," TJ said.
TMZ is reporting that Katherine made 2 calls to her Calabasas home. One at 2 AM this morning again at 4 AM, "sounding "drugged and ordering that the security team be fired and replaced by Janet Jackson's security."
Katherine's lawyer Sandra Ribera told the court she believed Katherine was being held against her will.
"I've been at the house since Saturday off and on, and I have reason to believe that Mrs. Jackson is being held against her will," Ribera said.
Judge Beckloff granted TJ's request for temporary guardianship saying there is no evidence Katherine had done anything wrong and that he would restore her role after she returned.
"The allegation is she's being prevented from communicating with the kids by a third party," Beckloff said. "Katherine Jackson is unable to act based on the acts of third parties.this is not a move by (TJ) Jackson to oust Mrs. Jackson from her position."
"All I want to say are three words: Always kids first," TJ said in court.

Pusha T already has four albums under his belt as one half of the Clipse, but when the G.O.O.D. Music rapper unleashes his solo debut via Def Jam later this year, he'll be treating fans to a purely cinematic experience.
Last year's Fear of God mixtape delivered a potent dose of his lyrical venom, but while recording his still-untitled debut, Pusha turned his focus to musicality. Enlisting The-Dream and Rico Beats on production, he's been hard at work crafting a project heavy with rhyme and melody, which finds him painting a complete picture of the lifestyle that most rappers only skirt over in their music.
The album has not been pegged with a release date yet, but during his sit down for MTV's Hip-Hop Music Preview, Pusha gave some insight on the topics that made him tick — from relationships, to family and even major pop-culture events like the death of Steve Jobs. Expect to find beauty, glitz and glamour juxtaposed with the harsh realities of street life and fame.
The Recording Process
"Unlike most artists, I'm a morning person when it comes to recording. My recording day can start as early as 9 a.m., and I'll write what needs to be put down, and hopefully I'm leaving by 1 p.m.
"I'm not a studio junkie at all. I actually don't like the studio because it sort of ruins my vibe. To me, it's just [a place] to lay down vocals and get out of there. For whatever reason, I'm most creative and write best in the shower, and also when I'm driving. Even if I don't have a starting point, it usually comes with the constant flow of water or the monotony of driving."
The Cinematic Influence
"This album was based off the movie 'Devil's Advocate.' Not theme-wise at all, but just in the feel of the album. 'Devil's Advocate' is a very dark movie, but at the same time, visually, it's beautiful. The album is based off of that because I speak about the harsh realities of street life but there's a lot of glitz and glamour that comes along with that. If you just look at it at face value, you might think, 'It sounds a bit like he's glorifying [street life],' but when you get tuned into the record, you realize that you get both sides of it.
"There's a scene where one of Charlize Theron's girlfriends — a beautiful woman — is trying on clothes, and as Charlize is looking at her, her face turns into a monster. That's one of the scenes that really paints the picture of the beauty and the dark side of my album."
The Tracks
"40 Acres": "One of the more thoughtful records would be '40 Acres,' and it's produced by The-Dream and Rico Beats. It really harps on things that have happened in my life in regards to family — my brother being my partner, my parents not being together — speaking on how those things altered my views on relationships and so on.
"One of the lyrics goes, 'Unpolished, unapologetic, might've broke a heart or two, but gave an honest effort/ You see my nonchalant attitude is always f--- it/ 35 years of marriage, and my mama left it/ You shouldn't question if you ever stood a chance with him, the better question is, did you enjoy the dance with him?/ I'll probably never pull your chair out, bitch, you know this money grew your hair out, switch/ All that s--- I bought, you wear out, rich/ But I'm the only one I care 'bout.'
"A lot of people, and men in general, don't recognize that their selfishness towards women in a relationship probably has to do with something that has happened in their life before. I like to harp on things like that because people speak about relationships like it's always so blissful but, like I said, my album is also based in harsh realities."
The Five-Word Description
Musicality: "There are a few things I feel that are lacking in rap, and musicality is one of them. The 'superproducer' damn near died this year."
Cinematic: " 'Devil's Advocate' made everything seem so much easier in terms of making the record and knowing which direction to go in. There are a lot of records that I had to rewrite because it wasn't 'movie enough.' I wrote '40 acres' three times."
Uncompromised: "We didn't compromise on anything on this record. I have my own standard for raps."
Lyricism: "There's just never a moment where the fundamentals of hip-hop are ever forsaken."
Big: "I don't think there's any point on this album where I thought twice about anything I was about to say, regardless of who it might've touched or affected or annoyed."

The Jackson family is in an all out civil war as members choose sides in what has become a nasty battle on Michael Jackson's Estate.
Michael left all of his estate to his mother, three kids and charities. If Katherine were to pass away the money would then be divided between his children and charities leaving his brothers and sisters with nothing.
Randy, Jermaine and Janet Jackson are attempting to have the executors of the Michael Jackson Estate, John Branca and John McClain, resign from their positions. Randy claims there has been misconduct. He alleges that executors had a hand in faking MJ's will. He believes he can prove it because Michael was in New York on the day he supposedly signed the document in L.A according to The Examiner.
"They know that they've been caught, they know that they've falsified a document and they know that there are questions that we want answered," Randy Jackson told the Rev. Al Sharpton on Sharpton's MSNBC show. "This family is united to right a wrong."
Jermaine and Randy want to become the conservators over the estate giving them access to the cash
Caught in the middle of all of this are Michael's three children Paris, Blanket, Prince Michael and his 82-year old mother, Katherine Jackson.
The children claim they haven't seen their grandmother in over a week. She is supposedly in Arizona resting under doctors orders.
"8 days and counting . something is really off , this isn’t like her at all," Paris tweeted on Monday. "I wanna talk directly to my grandmother!!"
She followed that up with another tweet on Tuesday. "9 days and counting… so help me god i will make whoever did this pay," Paris wrote.
To top it all off a scuffle was caught on tape when Randy and Janet showed up unannounced at Katherine's house earlier this week and tried to take the kids away. Security prevented that from happening, but surveillance footage shows Janet attempting take away Paris' phone.
“You’re a spoiled little b*tch,” Janet reportedly told Paris during Monday’s confrontation, an unidentified source told TMZ.
“This is our house. Not the Jackson family house. Get the f*ck out!” Paris replied, according to the report.
There was also a report that Janet slapped Paris during the confrontation but that was denied by Randy and there is no sign of that happening on the footage
Meanwhile Marlon appeared on The Insider alongside Tito and Jackie. During the interview he got very emotional as he described being kept away from his mother.
“We’ve been told that our mother is safe. She’s doing well. But we have not spoken to her. We have not talked to her and I don’t know where my mother is," Marlon said, before breaking down crying. “All i know is she is in Arizona, and whatever doctor is saying I can’t talk to my mother you call ME!”
Tito's son, T.J. Jackson, is seeking legal guardianship of the kids while all of this drama continues to swirl.
Katherine Jackson is now on her way back to Los Angeles according to Randy.
