......and pharoahe, and LB, and ....

dude, lupe has skills, but it's not AOTY

12/21/2007 10:28:49 PM

^^ def better than Jay-Z and I don't know who freeway is.

If lupe had better beats, it'd be ebtter than Kanye, but I like Kanye a tad bit more.

yes i am saying that...lupes lyrical content is absolutely untouchable...not only is almost every song structured in a narrative, but almost every song also contains multiple levels of meaning: often the 2nd being metaphorical and actually relevant to society. all of this happens while lupe lays different tempos that can rival the speed of twista or slowing it down to a crawl while still giving the listener the flow needed to keep the song at a certain dynamic. not a chance any of those others come close to accomplishing all this in EVERY song on the album. you cant get all this in one listen so try it again...everytime youll hear something new.

^^^you should find out who Freeway is before you continue to comment on rap.

12/22/2007 9:16:36 AM

fucking beast of an album

only shit tracks are "gold watch" and "put you on the game"

cut those and listen front to back

12/22/2007 5:42:16 PM

this album reminds me of an old jadakiss rhyme

"yea you got bars BUT YOU NEED HOOKS"

his production is the only thing keeping this album from being perfect. Lyrically he can't be touched in comparison. I MEAN SHIT HE HATES ZANGIEF AND ONLY USES RYU AND KEN JUST LIKE ME!

"The Cool", "Free At Last" and "Mood Muzik 3" are the only CDs i've played in the whip for a while now

12/22/2007 5:45:27 PM

^^ I like "put you on game" but i agree with "gold watch" thats easily the worst song on the album

12/22/2007 5:58:27 PM

FREEWAY GOT IT IN LIKE 10 IN THE MORNIN' MAYN

12/23/2007 2:06:30 AM

I can't stand "Go Go Gadget Flow"

12/23/2007 10:49:47 AM

The album has some... just straight wack tracks on it. I also played his first album so much I just got sick of him. This one might have to grow on me.

And I don't know who got whose flow from who - but lupe wrote the Diamonds song for Kanye years ago if that means anything

1/4/2008 3:04:08 PM

^where'd you see that Lupe wrote that for Kanye?

1/4/2008 4:36:00 PM

they were using "dumb it down" loops as into on mike and mike this morning

1/4/2008 5:00:29 PM

^^ I think that Lupe had a song called "conflict diamonds" from years back when he was still unnoticed, i havent heard it but he that its similar to "Diamonds" on Late Registration. But im not quite sure about the dates of the songs, i could be mistaken if "conflict diamonds" was from a long time ago.

Aight i just looked up some stuff about "conflict diamonds", its all explained in this interview that Lupe did when F&L was bout to come out

1/4/2008 6:12:11 PM

As normal, I'm agreeing with Hova...Free At Last, The Cool, And Mood Muzik 3 are the hottest shit out right now...I just wish that Free Chilly shit was longer.

1/4/2008 9:40:46 PM

well it's no secret that rhymefest penned jesus walks, so its not that far fetched, but that makes sense^^

1/4/2008 10:13:36 PM

i agree with the free chilly being longer

but this is probably the best cd ive heard in a year

1/5/2008 3:28:09 AM

i loved his last album. but im not digging the cool much at all.

1/5/2008 3:57:32 AM

The album is great. The end.

1/5/2008 4:04:34 AM

It's growing on me

1/7/2008 11:26:07 AM

I just listened to this Saturday night and I have to say I am a fan...

I don't generally listen to this genre, but I'm definately diggin Streets are on Fire, the Gun song, and Hip Hop Saved My Life.

Good shit.

1/7/2008 3:05:55 PM

damn he's coming through dc/baltimore at the end of the month...might go check out the baltimore show

1/14/2008 3:02:08 PM

The DC one's been sold out, my boy managed to get 2 tickets though

1/14/2008 4:08:12 PM

there's a child rebel soldier (kanye/pharell/lupe) album in the works.

1/14/2008 5:32:13 PM

i'd have liked the die to be 3 minutes longer

1/14/2008 11:34:20 PM

i just need better beats
it's just not 10/10 for me

1/14/2008 11:36:57 PM

sorry, as I've said earlier, "Go Go Gadget Flow" alone stops this from being 10/10, then you add the SHITTTTTTTTYYYYY intro and that brings it down another point.

It's a good CD, but can we all jump off of Lupe's dick?

1/15/2008 7:49:07 AM

the coolest nigga what
the coolest nigga what
the coolest nigga what
the coolest nigga what


GET OUT OF MY HEAD.

1/15/2008 9:20:33 AM

why does no body talk about hi-definition as a solid track? seems to fly totally under the radar on reviews i read.

maybe im the only one that likes it? his flow rides perfectly over the beat and even snoop dogg sounds somewhat inspired


also gotta eat is probably my third favorite track behind hi-defiition and paris, tokyo

1/15/2008 9:28:43 AM

hi-definition is a banger.

my return

is more like a re-up
