Even as a fan, I'm gonna be glad when this dude is done with Atlantic and then has nothing to cover his ass when it comes to his music, whether it's the sound, the lyrics or whatever else.
Lupe Fiasco says F&LII is NOT a true sequel to F&L, it was "marketing" move
- Thread starter Return of the Jedi
- Start date
even if he changed the name what would make it actual sequel to food and liquor this aint no damn movie series , what you expected a part 2 of every song on the album or some shyt 
. The Original Food and Liquor had no actual concept matter fact it was loose fitting track compiled together this actually has a concept That's not what i thought, what i thought when i heard part 2 was we would see the progression of Lupe Fiasco as a artist, that he would touch on some of the same subject as Food and liquor but at a much broader perspective( which it is)
shyt's called The Great American Rap Album for a reason
Both series got progressively worse right? Or, at least in BP's case, they don't touch the original
You make a good point, and yeah they do definitely all sound different. I'm just saying calling it "The Great American Rap Album" and that alone would've been a much more honest move.
Wtf you mean, you expected this album to sound like Food & Liquor (which is already dated as fukk with some songs) after hearing bytch Bad, Lambo Angels, Around My Way, etc. ? Not every rapper likes to make the same album twice
And I don't feel the least bit "jerked" by him saying this.

When has any rap album sequal sounded the same or close to the original? I will say this ...stillmatic,obfcl2,bp2 and 3, and hnic3 sounded NOTHING like the first ones

I just was expecting with a title would come a similar sound bruh.

But its like Lupe said, people wouldn't be as interested in buying it then. What Lupe meant was that the album isn't centered around being the sequel to F&L, its centered around America. While the title still holds meaning in "the good and the bad of the world", this is by no means some sort of scheme on Lupe's behalf. I think most numbered albums are done so for marketing ploys anyways, you really think Jay-Z wouldn't have named it BP2 or BP3 or Lil Wayne wouldn't have named it C4 when they knew they could make a couple dollars off it? Its the same as movies.
you reaching now fam, lupe went on to explain to you after the bold why it's called part 2 which makes sense.I just was expecting with a title would come a similar sound bruh.
Label politics? In what interview, video, song, or tweet has Lupe complained about Atlantic shoving there fingers in this project? To clear confusion, Lupe's camp wanted it to be named FNL2 for marketing, I'm sure Atlantic didn't force his hand in naming it as Food & Liquor II.
I think its quite obvious Atlantic has backed the fukk away from this album.
nikka you think the label would have released bytch bad, AMW and Lamborghini angels as singles
, and from what it sounds FFF aint no damn commerical song either. This is clearly Lupe MARKETING his album idiot, he himself have said part 1 has more of a concept then part 2 which is more in his terms "rappity rap"There was not a concept, there was a certain sound to the album.
Like Chronic didn't have a concept, it had the g-funk sound. And when Chronic 2001 was dropping people were not expecting a g-funk album, they were expecting a west coast classic with Dr. Dre and his nikkas joking around and having fun talking about bytches, weed, lowriders with some new type of production that could match the original album but sound like some futuristic shyt but still west coast classic. And that's what he delivered.
I can only speak for myself but I was expecting the same thing here, him soundtrakk and them going in the booth coming up with a new sound to match the sound of the first album. Him covering mad specific but random topics with a bunch of structured concept tracks like the first album, covering some of the same topics but in a updated fashion since a lot has happened in these past 7-8 years since he started recording the first album. Well he might still do that, if him changing the title isn't just double marketing trick. Like it actually being created as F&L2 but changing it just to get people to talk about his trolling ass.
But he's already said he doesn't listen to hiphop and will have dance music production on this album, so I'm expecting mediocrity hoping for greatness.
I fukking hope that like last time, the singles aren't the best tracks on the album.

The difference in the sound of The Carter series is very noticeable. Artists like Curren$y that did sequels could have easily named their follow ups something else. Plenty of artists do this for the exact same reason. They just don't say it.
He already stated that Soundtrackk has production on the album and it isn't a dance music beat.
