While so many rappers' casual disagreements quickly become beef on wax, two of Chicago's most respected emcees recently had their own meeting of the minds on an internet message board over some comments Lupe Fiasco made in an exclusive interview with.

As it turns out, Lupe and Rhymefest, somewhat surprisingly, have very different political views.

In our interview, Lupe told he doesn't vote, but even if he did, he wouldn't support the junior United States Senator from his home state of Illinois, Barack Obama. He'd vote for Hillary Clinton.

"Obama doesn't really impress me like that," Lupe said. "It's not a shot at him but some of his agendas, the bombing of Iran and all that stuff."

The exclusive sparked a heated internet debate between The Cool emcee and Fest, who responded via his MySpace blog and the Okay Player message boards.

Fest kicked it off, responding to Lupe's incendiary interview with a MySpace blog entitled "Don't Let Your Arrogance Fuel Your Ignorance (SUPPORT BARACK!)" in which he challenged Lupe's facts. [Read here]

As pointed out in an editor's note, neither Clinton or Obama have advocated bombing Iran. As a result of Lupe's take on Obama's Iran position, the comment began a dissertation-long, type-written exchange between the two artists.

When someone on the board asked Lupe if he planned on responding to Fest's claims, Lupe first said, "not in public ... that's wack ... I'll call him tomorrow..."

But Fest decided to continue the conversation on the board, saying Lupe didn't even have his number.

Before assuring Lupe, "I'm not dissing or coming at you on any level," Fest went right in.

"As a brother, all I'm asking you to do is tell the people that you really don't know what Barack Obama's position is on Iran, or at least not when you did the interview," he wrote.

But Lupe stood by his claim in his response citing his own experiences growing up with "a pro-active, Black Panther party promoting, revolutionary father and a very intellectual damn near anarchist mother" as education enough to take a stance Fest called cynical.

Lupe did say though, that he's not so much disappointed with Obama as he is the entire democratic process. A system that he said "has shi**ed on us for over 400 years using principles that our precious politicians and candidates still hold dear to this very day ... a contract of social equality written by slave owners...that deserves so many 'f--k outta here's' it ain't even funny.

"I have no faith in it...never have, never will...," Lupe wrote.

But a seemingly more optimistic Fest said he has seen change.

"Our recent successes, and Barack's recent success in Iowa, is proof that with faith, all things are possible," he responded.

Lupe rounded out the conversation, saying his faith isn't invested in Barack or Hillary, but "the people."
