Kanye West and 2 Chainz released their collaboration "Birthday Song" this week and one hip hop notable wasn't too impressed with the track. Lupe Fiasco shared his opinion when asked about the track--revealing that he rarely hears anything in hip hop that moves him anymore.

“For me, Hip Hop, I wanna hear stuff that I’ve never heard before so like 99 percent of the Hip Hop that I hear these days is just the same,” said Lupe. “And it just kinda gets like, ‘What am I listening to it for?’ And for me that’s keeping it 100. It is what it is. It might be good, the beat is dope, lyrics might be whatever on a technical thing but at the end of the day it’s like, ‘Why am I listening to this?’”
