Not really impressed outside of Mural
Lupe's performance is great, and some of the rapping is next level.....but the beats are average and the songwriting just is not interesting
The best tracks on the album outside of Mural are the 4 seasons instrumental interludes. Those are excellent.
It seems like an album that is more impressive than it is enjoyable. Like Hip Hop prog music. Intellect at the expense of songwriting and musicality.
Its also way too long. I have no problem with 8 minute songs, but there should be a thematic reason for them being so long. These are just long for the sake of being long. On some 'hey, look at me' shyt
The Pizza Man track has a great concept, but is a bit too literal which is off putting. Should have been treated more as a metaphor.
The Chopper song has some interesting writing but is annoying in its execution.
Most of the other stuff has just not been memorable.
I still have 15 more minutes to listen to, I ran out of time.

album is very good. a few songs are mad long though. i'd rather it be a dope 9 minutes than a great 1 minute song though.

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
After first listen, this is the best hip hop album since GKMC/Life is Good and I've listened to those both several times. In a few weeks, we might be calling this in the realm of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Why did you say Aquemini instead of ATLiens?
Breh really?
You wanna compare Lupe the gawd to an album that he provided lyrics for where who he provided it for got lyrics from others too like Cyhi??????
BLASPHEMY!
Wow
It's funny how some say Lupe being too cryptic and they don't wanna decipher ish then others say that one of the biggest bangers is not metaphorical enough
Lupe is not metaphorical enough?? BWAHHAHAAAAAAAA
Breh I don't think you got the song completely, and that's the best thing about the album.
My opinion on the real....
Hip Hop fans got lazy and flooded with too much music that they wanna skip from one song/cd to another way too fast
I would assume that most of these people don't read books, as books require patience as it can take time to read the entire book.
Look how fast even in this thread some were saying they didn't like the album when based on how long it would take them to listen to it vs the time it leaked... it was impossible for them to listen to the entire CD. That means they were skimming through this masterpiece.
So we got lazy hit-seeking "fans" and we got skimmers, and then we wonder what happened to hip hop music?
Ya'll HAPPENED!

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
every verse is good, and I loved the track, it was just long
There's a thin line between a perfect symmetry of lyricism and production like Aquemini and overproduction and lyrical confusion like Stankonia thou.... Lupe's album DEFINITELY leans more to the Stankonia side... still a dope album, but over-consuming.
