Started strong but overall the production is a bit monotonous. Mumble rap, palaces, and samurai are the stand outs. No. 1 highlight is dope too but not feeling the horns. Feel like they dont fit the vibe of the beat.

I'd say the choruses are lacking too. Other than samurai, palaces, and samurai the choruses are very forgettable. But don't think the beats really inspired anything special from Lupe in that regard. Give it a 6/10 overall. Maybe keep 4 tracks in the rotation for a bit.

i been listening

not drogas wave, but :ehh:

Out of curiosity if you fukk with DW(great album) what are the Lupe albums you consider "dikk rider" good? Referencing your post before this.

DW was a masterpiece but made no waves (no pun intended) commercially. I'd assume that's an album non-fans would consider just "dikk rider good" so you threw me off :pachaha:
