The removal is apparently due to “hate speech.” DJBooth penned an editorial pointing out one specific line that it found to be anti-semitic. “Artists getting robbed for their publishing by dirty Jewish execs who think it’s alms from the covenant,” Lupe, who has had his fair share of qualms with Atlantic Records, raps on the song.

After the editorial was published, the MC went on Twitter to defend the line, saying that not all Jewish executives are corrupt, he was just trying to make a point about those who are.
