    Probably his weakest album, but it's still decent. Lyrically Lupe has never fallen off. He wasn't very inspired with what Atlantic was making him do and you can hear that throughout the album with some of his half assed deliveries/flows. Has some good songs too (Show Goes On, Words I Never Said, State Run Radio, Outta My Head, All Black Everything and I'm Beaming even though it's just a bonus track)



    real ? I've actually listened to Lasers as an overall album more than I have FnL2 as a whole album.

    I hate this ? album. I made my own version that had the ? that was supposed to be on there. I'm Beamin, Go To Sleep, Shining Down, Army Girl, What You Want, the track with him and Alicia Keys, a couple other tracks...

    I just pretended that was the album. Tbh, F&L2 wasn't my favorite either. It was just okay.

    It took him until T&Y to recover, imho.

    The album is the weakest in his catalogue but still ? on a lot of other rappers best work.

    Lupe the GOAT!

    This album kinda like Nastradamus. People thought Nas was gonna drop another Illmatic.

    Still a good album.

    Another of those times when creative control of your music gets conflicted with the record company you signed too...



    Lyrically he was efficient on the album, just the production sucked. So if this album was remixed with soulful beats and you added a couple songs he released at the time then you got a decent album ...


    His weakest by far but like someone here said it's kinda like NaStradamus... wasn't wack lyrically but near forgettable amongst his catalogue


    Also this example goes to show the importance of good production on a HipHop album. Some people downplay it but it's vital at the end of the day

    To be honest, I don't know how to grade this album. I expected better music, but I also can't fault Lupe because Atlantic forced him to make this garbage. The only thing I can say is that the original concept album that Lupe had in mind could have offered something more to the fans and his catalog.

    No fans outside of the internet? so his fans only live online and do not exist in reality?

    add Stereo sun to that list.. I like f&l2 it didn't have no weak song imo it just not on the level of t&y, F&l and The cool.
    The only reason its not ass is best of the lyricist but yea the production sucked

    Liked the 2nd half of the album. Some gems I'll always wanna listen to. Nowhere near The Cool.
