Lupe Fiasco proclaims The Cool his best album: "It's number one!!!!!"

[Mike the Executioner]

I'm shocked that Lasers didn't go platinum at least, especially since "The Show Goes On" went double platinum. Is there a reason why artists would have platinum songs and not platinum albums? I always thought that back in the day, if you had a big hit, that would encourage people to buy the album.

T&Y >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> but I get why he and others would say that's the best album.

 

[KingsOfKings]

As a Lupe Stan, I disagree.

Then what is it?

This, until T&Y dropped I had The Cool

The Cool the track is the dopest shyt he ever did imo. Had a breh thinking he was the best emcee on the planet..at one point.

I played the fukk out of that album when it dropped. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to get into now.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Always thought Go Go Gadget Flow was a weird song to start the album with, also don't like Hi-Definition, but the rest is incredible.

My nine year old loves this album. Everytime we cruising around the city, her request is either the cool or 400 degreez.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

This album is damn near classic to me

 

[KingsOfKings]

This album is damn near classic to me

Same.
Used to love it. Now? Eh.

I feel some of the songs haven’t aged that well if we’re being honest (Gotta Eat, Go Go Gadget Flow, Streets on Fire, The Die, Hello/Goodbye, Fighters). Not that they’re awful songs, it’s just sonically he could’ve easily left them off.

And he has one of the worst songs I’ve heard from a top rapper in Go Baby.




Wtf is this?

It feels like a chore to listen to the whole album nowadays.
