Not seeing much of any love for this on year end wrap ups. This might be one of the most slept on albums of the decade.
im pretty sure alot of us expected this to happen, atleast I know I did.

alot of that stuff is politics. But whatever, this album still better than alot of those that are supposedly "better" then it

Don't make intelligent and thought provoking black art if you are trying to eat.

not something I didn't already know but this album not making any year end lists is telling.

we have people on the boards that swear labels make nikkaz sell out... nah... claiming the fans want that real edutainment rap back... reality doesn't seem to back this up. this album wont be appreciated until somebody with influence puts it into perspective at some point in a distant future.

I remember being confused watching Lupe drop corny singles on Lasers and now I can't even be mad. He would have went out like a mid 2000's underground rapper had he not played into the system and fed it for a bit. Nikkaz don't want this real shyt.

thing is..."Eat" could be defined as 50K - 100K a year...if so, I'm sure he's doing enough.

I’m at the point now where I get mad as fukk listening to this album...

Like how the fukk the rap community just up and buried this album without giving it the accolades it rightfully deserves?


If i were Lupe i’d retire too. fukk rap fans and this whole punk ass so called “culture” for letting Lupe down.

Art like this should NEVER go so far under the radar
