Title: Lupe Fiasco's "The Cool"
Post by: Zohaib on December 19, 2007, 06:06:33 am: Lupe's sophomore effort finally came out today after some delay. Titled "The Cool" it follows the story of various characters and has a dark feel all around. For some reason, he doesn't get much love on the hip hop scene. I'm a big fan of his music (he's my favorite artist). Much of today's rap and hip hop music doesn't make sense (Supersoak that hoe! You!!!) but Lupe is a breath of fresh air.

In my eyes, Lupe Fiasco is the best lyricist today. His debut CD which came out last year "Food and Liquor" had so many outstanding songs that it will be hard for him to top his rookie effort but I think he has a good chance. I bought his new CD today and he's really outdone himself. Tracks like "little weapon" , "hip hop saved my life" "the die" and "the coolest" are exemplary of modern lyricism with sick flow and beat.

So who else listens to Lupe?

Apparently making albums is so tiring for him he's only releasing one more, titled LupeEND which comes out in '08 supposedly.

Also I've seen him live OH YEAH.

Post by: Dyne on December 20, 2007, 01:53:30 am: I am so impressed by the Cool. The thing I didn't really like about Food and Liquor (although I loved it) is that some of the beats were pretty iffy. The Cool has so many good beats, Go Go Gadget Flow, Hip Hop Saved My Life, The Coolest, Superstar, etc. etc. the list goes on. I am in love with this album

Oh yeah the bonus track "Blackout" is pretty tight, too. If you don't have it, grab it quick!

Even better, because "The Cool" was my favorite track on Food&Liquor.
