Anybody that's currently feeling Drakes trash mixtape/album or Kendrick (which I'm a fan of his music) or whoever the current heavy weights are needs to remove the hate and give this fukking album a listen. Go into a dark room clear your mind push play. Some of ya hate this dude so much that ya can't even listen to greatness. Over some damn twitter comments smh. Ya need to log off that shyt. I don't have twitter, facebook, instagram etc. So I only read what was posted here. Without hearing any track beforehand I was able to hear the album in its entirety with no bias.

Some of ya will call Drake jacking non innovative as a current legend gtfoh with that bullshyt. This n1gga crying to his moms on his mixtape. While Chopper, Deliver, Adoration Of The Magi, and Madonna are speaking on current shyt that we as blacks can relate to. Without being preachy. More like a painting on the wall that can start a real discussion. I'm just pissed that this album is being overlooked.

It's being overlooked because it's not a good album to anyone but Lupe stans. Doesn't even sound good. And it's nowhere near as deep as y'all pretend it is.
Who's saying this exactly? It received good reviews, so where exactly are you getting the idea or notion that it's only good to Lupe stans from?

Dope performance made me play the album today. Drakes shyt is cool for what it is..club bangers and catchy shyt..but this is still aoty so far for me. Production, content, lyrics, features..there's no skipable tracks. A lot of replay value too due to how criptic it is but you can still enjoy it without trying to crack what he's saying.

Well.... if lots of people are deliberately overlooking Lupe, including a ton of hip hop heads, who really needs to have their ears checked? His fans or everyone else?

I'll let you have the last word
Ok I will. Im just gonna ask tell me why do u think these songs are wack?

I love this album, but it's too heavy for most. If someone told me they don't like it because they don't get it, then OK, I understand. None of the songs are remotely radio friendly.

Why we have to be Lupe stans cause we like the album? I hate his last 2 albums aside from some tracks. So what does that say about me? Lol im a real hip-hop head who can see the creativity and thought that was put into this project. If it goes over ya head then cool. But just off

Alone how can u say this is a bad album? And ya wonder why hip-hop doesnt get its respect. Give me a reason why this is trash! If u dont like it cool. If its not your thing I get that. But tell me what makes it trash. Lol

Ya man said it was overlooked, so I'm gonna take his word for it. Among my circle, the only two people I know who posted any songs off this album (they both loved "Mural") were die-hard Lupe fans. No one else.

They're wack just like 99% of Lupe's discography. Dull beats, wack flows and meaningless, abstract lyrics. I understand that there's a market for that, but it's not a large one. Even heads will sleep.
