How was this better than Tetsuo and Youth?

Lupe's album to me was Lupe was spitting but that album didn't connect to me like Food & Liquor and The Cool did. That album is headphone music to me.

It's all around better outside of the lyrics.. It's production is better. The flows are a better match with the direction of the album.

These are the best 2 albums this year for me, but Tetsuo and Youth is the best so far IMO.

One album is a conceptual album and the other follows the traditional hiphop release format, they're hard to compare, but on the surface, if I go off of how many tracks I deem skippable, Lupe's album wins. The lowest rating I can give a song on that album is a 4 out of 5. Where on this one, there's a few that I can give a 3 to 3.5 for... I'm not as big on Stay Down (this has grown on me though) or Deep as others are off this album. But I'm really not feeling that I Know song.

Luckily he closed it out well though. Bonus tracks are cool too

Serious question, not trolling. Can someone outline how this album is drastically different from his last two?

He didn't reinvent himself for the album, but it's drastically more consistent from start to finish and in general, it just sounds better musically than his first 2 albums.

Yeah, cause I see the comments here and while I clown Sean regularly. Ill call a spade and say its dope if its dope to me. Just seems like he got better, more cohesive production but hes rapping about the same shyt, the same way. Does nothing for me

First play through and it sounds great. Tight consistent and focused.

Love the outro.

Might even buy it

FF = mainstream poppy album - 7.5
HOF = mismash with some personal tracks, overhated - 7
DSP = Detroit on steroids - 8.5 minimum, best product of his career

basically this one has a variety of more flows. all the singers kill their hooks. his word play is even better. production is better.

P.Diddy said DSP has one of the best albums to drop in the past 5 years

better production and features.

Sean just doesn't have much more besides REALLY dope punchlines.

He's just a rapper. Not more or less...still dope for what it is.
