Another Home run for Lupe

By Avengers92
Lupe sophomore album comes out as a little bit better than his previous album “Food & Liquor”. The production is on point through most of the album, Lupe lyrical ability is a bit better, and Lupe songs take another level. What is good about this album that “Food and Liquor” lack on was the attention of the mainstream audience. Now don’t get me wrong Lupe is still the same Lupe as his previous album and is still doing things his own way, but the songs on this album seem will connect and make mainstream and underground audience happy. Songs like “Superstar”, “Go Go Gadget Flow”, and “Hip-Hop Saved My Life” can be more geared to the mainstream audience. As underground and Lupe fans can be geared to songs like “Put You on Game”, “Dumb It Down”, “Little Weapon”, and “Gold Watch” which had a sort of tricky beat, and Lupe lyrics to make it unique, and if you’re a Lupe fan you will most likely understand this song. He even had a sort of cheesy song like “Go Baby”. I am not saying that both mainstream fans, and underground artist can’t like the same songs on this album, just pointing out that this is what each of these songs seem to be geared to. This is what you are appose to do as a mainstream artist and that is catch both kind of fan base, and have your own voice and paint a mental picture to both kinds of fans. The only bad side about this album is that song like “Paris, Tokyo” seem a little bit wired and Lupe flow don’t match up to the production on the album, it’s a song that even you like or don’t and I am on the don’t like side. Also songs like “Hi-Definition”, and “Fighters” seem to fall in the bad section of this album. But it’s still a really good album.
