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.

Exactly how I feel but I didn't like mural.

I'm not the biggest Lupe fan but this is a easy 5/5 for me. Lyrics are on point and so are the beats. There is probably one or two tracks that are nothing special but don't hurt the overall vibe of the album.

Goddamn Ab-Soul is so fukking lame. About ruined "T.R.O.N."

Does the Fall interlude remind anyone of Twin Peaks?

Had flashes of Audrey Horne dancing in the Double R :damngoodcoffee:
