Looking back, how good was Food and Liquor really?

[ISO]

Bro kick push was the least classic track on the album. It's a great song but the rest are even better

Do y’all know what classic means?

 

[Bugzbunny129]

I cant call it a 5 or even 4.5 cause the cool was just better overall. And that wasnt even a 5.

Its got a few gems (the cool beung the best song by far) but id say its no more than a 4 on a good day and a legit 3.5

 

[Street Knowledge]

Mane y’all nikkaz trollin

Kick, Push
The Cool
Hurt Me Soul
Daydreamin
American Terrorists
Theme Music to a Drive By

All classics. We talmbout timeless material or hit songs?

We got Dave East fans in here talmbout F&L is a 3 mic album… the nerve of some of y’all nikkas

I’m trolling because I don’t think the cool and American terriotsts(songs I bet you haven’t listened to in 10 years) are classic rap songs

 

[Street Knowledge]

Do y’all know what classic means?

They just naming random rap songs they like

 

[Ziggiy]

If we are going to keep it all the way real in this thread Lupe is a great mixtape rapper(randomly rhyming over other peoples picked classic beats) but not great at actually creating his own projects.

They really not gonna address none of the critiques

I bet ya half these nikkas haven’t listened to this so called classic in full in years

The idea of who dude is supposed to be is much greater than his actual music

 

[Yaboysix]

Great album with no skips (except the long ass intro/outro)

The nygga Barely cursed,also.

 

[papa pimp]

As an adult, most of Lupe's albums are corny in hindsight. Still an amazing talent, but I only really revisit all the loosies and mixtape stuff pre F+L.

 

[NoHalfWay]

I hope y’all detractors got all this shyt off y’all chest in here




Imagine listening to this and not realizing you’re indulging in greatness, black excellence

 

[Osmosis]

Didn't care much for it. The Cool is absolutely a classic tho

Nikka said “Just Blaze type beat”

 

[Left.A1]

The Cool was always Lupe’s best album So many leaks with F&L that album was all over the place

 

[Rasille]

Probably my favorite Lupe album.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

5 mics. Classic

Top to bottom, not a single weak track.

It’s a classic. 4.75/5 to be honest. The Cool is a classic too

You coli nikkas needa get on with this revisionist shyt only song I’ll bring to trial is I Gotcha, which isn’t terrible

I know this album special when Meek Mill of all people said he knew every word to it, quoted on twitter, and cited as music that inspired him even over Cole or K Dot

I agree and feel the same way

 

[Left.A1]

Bad hooks, bad beats, and blatant Jay Z biting and all those tracks you mentioned except Kick Push are musically mediocre

This hook and outro is fukking AZZ

Put the fukking crack down nikka
