    Lupe is still an amazing rapper it's not like he feel off and spitting wack ? over these beats. he just tried different sounds and I don't blame him for experimenting. If he would've kept the same sound it would be the same ? talking about he needs to switch it up.

    Not really the ? just didnt sound good to me... For example no matter where Kanye seems to take his music it always sounds good.

    Kanye is a gifted producer, why wouldnt his music not sound good?

    So with the resources allotted to Lupe how come his experimentation couldnt sound good?

    Why do people act like one bad album makes Lupe the worst rapper ever? Like others were sayin, the content was still good and eveything, it's just the production that dragged the album.

    FNL2 should be good though. He was sayin that he had the neptunes on a few cuts. If they give him stuff like this, I have no doubt in my mind that the album will be great.

    Lupe said Lasers wasn't him. Yet he was complicit in it released and gained financially off it. BS

    Nas in '08 released an album titled N.I.G.G.E.R and was adamant with the title and content. His bosses and some people said GTFOH with that title

    Nas laughs and says OK, if it ain't that title then its gonna be Untitled ...

    I hope Food & Liqour 2 exceeds expectations

    Lupe Fiasco is one of my fav rappers of all time but Lasers was terrible, i still think he can live up to his potential as long as he stops with the rockstar, techno stuff

    Its way to early to be writing Lupe off.

    His first 2 albums were great.

    At this point in Nas' career people were writing him off for making a pop-rap album (IWW) and the disappointing I Am & The Firm albums.

    At this point in Raekwon's career people were writing him off for releasing The Lexx Diamond Story and Immobilarity.

    One bad album shouldnt discount the work he's already put in. Nobody in rap has ever dropped 3 straight critically embraced albums.

    Outkast, Cube, Kanye.

    But i agree otherwise with your post

    IWW ain't a pop rap album...just because an album has popular singles doesn't make it a pop album

    that's how it was perceived...the perception of IWW now is much different than when it dropped

    My point exactly..

    Thats you basically saying you want him to revert back to his old self.
    Which again is sayin you want him to stay the same.
    Like I said, would you have been disappointed if Lasers was acapella?

    Eventhough I think Lupe is a cornball ass ? , lyrically homie is ill. I think he'll eventually bounce back.

    F&L >>>>>The Cool

    I have every mixtape every album...IMO Lupe is still that ? he made one album I didn't care too much for...LASERS...The Cool was a classic in my book as well as Food & Liquor...Lupe still got it...90% of the ? in the game can't ? with his lyrics, bottom line IMO

    Be patient ? , Lupe's Lasers was still better than majority of mainstream albums. Erase that euro-pop ? and grace him with real ? boom-bap beats and you go with a classic. I hope he'll be smart enough to have control over his own beats.

    He should in all honesty remix that album.
