hmmmmm....i like Around My Way.......this, i'm not really fond of.......beat was good...he just approached the song the wrong way......it needed more energy from Lupe......and the flow was a bit off.....i can see where he is coming from, but i think he needed a more universal single for this stage in his career now.....i think he is trying too hard to show us that he doesn't need a poppy record to do as good as Lasers did financially

this is about the genre slug fans are in.

then ignorant lupe fans give slug's props he rightfully earned away to lupe.

while slug is an original and more skilled. plus created the lane, genre and draw for lupe to exist as a major label signee in.

after slug created a major label p&d deal, from the underground. which solidified slug as the flagship emo artist.

plus his p&d deal created the reason.

plus, justification for ye and lupe to get released and deals at majors in the first place.
lupe has not made music that was more anything than slug.
nor, is lupe skillset better either..

if it was,..lupe would have been able to do what slug did.

plus not create big budget overproduced u2 ripoffs, to get notice like slug as well.

not to mention,..lupe never created the grassroots draw and creation of an entire genre like slug did.

which lupe got to draw and get a deal in, as well.

lupe is not on slug's level.

if lupe was, lupe would be original and created the genre like slug did and he did not.

he was a gangsta rapper who switched lanes.

as he lacked the skillset to be a gangsta rapper.

so they created a fake cultural based persona for him,..which has been exposed countless times.

not to mention slug is the flagship artist of emo. lupe fans erroneously champion lupe as.

while also not being adept to whom and what made it possible.

for a major label to create a deal for lupe.

that is what you are not getting and more of your toyism is further exposed from this post as well.

i totally get what your saying man, 7even's Travels was... my....shyt....

and yes Slug did pave the way for artists like Kanye and Lupe , however i don't think i would classify lupe in the mold of slug by any sorts....lupe is more comparable to Brother Ali than slug....

and as far as Slug being more skilled, i think its a toss up......Slug is more direct, yet he can take it there if need be, but its just hard to erase what i've heard from Lupe with joints like FAILURE etc etc

and yes, i've heard somewhere about that whole "persona" that was created for lupe, however i would like to learn more about it, "enlighten" me please sir

ehh it's not good.. it also goes over from conscious into somewhat lecturing

Not even somewhat...shyt's overtly lecturing...between that and bland delivery, just makes for a joyless experience...a chore to listen to...great concept, execution was just off

I'd agree with a number of posts throughout this thread, it could've been a great track had he put a bit more effort in energy and presence-wise. The beat isn't something I'd expect to hear Lu on, but he rode it cool enough. Lyrically he's still on point, but his energy really let him down on this.

Despite Lasers and his antics, I've still got faith in Lu. Jesus, the bootleg F&L and his prior Fahrenheit mixtapes were crazy, like I'd listen to nothing BUT Lu for a minute, so I'm hoping that he's still got it in him.

No where near what I was hoping for, but not complete Trash like everyone is saying either.
I just about gave up hope for LU last year, but this wouldn't be a bad album filler track at all. Don't know how good of a single it will make tho. :yeshrug:
