Skylar Grey is gonna be the next biggest thing. She co-wrote Dirty money's "I'm Coming Home" , wrote T.I.'s "Castle Walls" from No Mercy album, both "I Love The Way You Lie(s)" for Em and RiRi, and "I Need A Doctor" for Em and Dre.
yeah, ive always been a huge lupe fan, and i'm never one to complain when a socially conscious song makes it to mainstream hip-hop...but ok lupe, enough
After all Lupe's talk about not dumbing it down I think im gonna go ahead and say Lupe dumbed it down. He used to make genuinely smart, creative, songs but ever since he got labeled as "intelligent rap" he doesn't even try anymore he just lists things wrong with the world and expects to be called intelligent. What a clown.

Exactly.
At this point I don't know what to expect from Lasers because I really liked The Show Goes On.Â
uhhh...The Cool was waayyy better than FnLApocalypse33
Agreed. I thought the production on the Cool fit Lupe's style a lot more than the generic soul samples of F&L. i really dont know what to expect from Lasers though..
Food & Liquor was good when I bought it. I haven't listened to in in at least 3 years though. Not much staying power.

The Cool was a coaster. "oh im gonna rap from the perspective of a hamburger!"
Â
so lameÂ
-Halftime-
This board was d-riding F&L so hard when it first came out...I remember me, and maybe Rob or BD were trashing it the entire time it came out. Orlandobot was really big on it iirc.Â
Honestly, The Cool has better highlights than F&L did with more staying power....F&L was just consistently boring. The Cool at least had some bangers...even though the bad songs were really, really bad.Â
Streets on Fire, Ntruder Alert, Put You on Game, The Coolest, Superstar, Dumb it Down, Fighters, Hip Hop Saved my Life, Little Weapon, The Die....

I cannot co-sign to this list at all...you need to shave all the excess fat off that list. A lot of those songs are wack.My favs would be Streets on Fire, Put You On Game, The Coolest, Dumb it Down, Hip Hop Saved My Life, Little Weapon and the Die. The others are at least decent.

Hahaha you are so right.
Lupe is so overrated to me. I don't jam either of his albums AT ALL anymore because they always get old super quick. He's what I call a stale rapper.

interesting..looks like no rap features at all besides Sway (unless this MDMA is a rapper..anybody know?) this kinda turned into a Lupe hate thread, but i'm still very excited for the album
I would rather listening to Lupe stating what is wrong with America on 6 different songs better than listening to rappers talk about money they don't have, cars they borrowed for a video shoot, women they never saw claiming they slept with, guns they fired but don't know how they look like, drugs they sold which they never touched and so on so on.
I agree, but some of his stuff is pushing it bit. I liked it better when he was a bit more subtle like in " Daydreamin' ". Listening to it now. Classic.
