And the main reason why most people slowly stopped messing with him..

Look even DE LA SOUL realized at one point there's no need to try to be extra cryptic and puzzling in the lyricism. Just saying....

I can't lie, I'm one of those people with little patience. I had to go sit outside in the cold for an hour and a half to really listen to this album and I still don't understand it completely. I see how people could say Lupe was being overly-lyrical for just the sake of doing so by track 8-9, but then you had people bytching that Lupe would have an album that goes from Strange Fruition to shyt like bytch Bad. I think its more for the reason of being cohesive than just being unnecessarily lyrical.

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!

oh my god, this album is a big failure.

It's not about him trying too hard but I get kinda what people are saying.... I respect lyrically complex albums but they also have to sound entertaining and interesting on the surface level and to me that's where this album lacks. I know there's a purpose behind every bar and there's meaning, but it doesn't sound organic at points and sounds forced. Even without having to decipher every lyric, an artist should be able to deliver and present deep lyrics more smoothly and effortlessly so the rhymes also have immediate meaning on the the surface, like Nas does so well.

I give it a 2 mics. Here's another example of a rapper ruining his entire album by trying to be the smartest nikka ever
