[jwinfield]

Think they had a falling out

 

[AkaDemiK]

Form Follows Function is some next level shyt.

2nd verse

That's why I never really trust it less it's Lu endorsed
Sponsored by Me and of course you know who enforced
Now that's 3 Me's, like you warming up ya vocal chords
add a 4th if ya Vocals hoarse

the first few bars of the 3rd verse also has connections to the "me/vocals" scheme as well.

3rd verse:

And now my vocals warm
add a 5th and a 6th now im ready to perform
The buddha said that i am not reformed
If I ever be reborned I keep coming back as Me

 

[Jet]

I've only listened to the 1st 5 songs and they're all piff

ITAL
Around My Way
Audubon Ballroom

 

[FreshFromATL]

Bout to digg in brehs. What should I be expecting? A Feast?

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

brehs, do me a favor... listen to the verses on Put Em Up... like REALLY REALLY listen to the fukkin lyrics and flow; this is some next level shyt man, wow

I've never heard someone make rhyming words in a meaningful way seem so nonchalant and effortless... the last time I even remotely got this feeling was the first time I heard Doe or Die

 

[Danycacks]

after 4 listens, it's a 9/10 to me and the best album of 2012 thus far... only criticisms I can come up with are a few of the hooks could be better... but the lyrics are on another level and the beats are dope as fukk... I don't know what more else someone would need, this shyt feels like watching Lebron drop 45 on the Celtics in Game 6

LBJ 45? Game 6? Fuuuuuck. Must check it out then. Props homie

 

[FreshFromATL]

I fukking LOVE "Around My Way"

"Been in the stu all day cookin food for thought
Now out this Soup De Jour, for you and yours
might find sushi for ya soul, we call that movin raw
Lions wont cross the line, cougars wont move a paw
chickens wont cross the road, dogs wont woof at all
Always had flow just added a front door, roof, and walls..."

He does this effortlessly... Im sitting here rewinding it back like every 4 bars.

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

whoever said Ronnie was gonna have a field day with this was right... the rhyme schemes and multi's probably got his slow ass reaching for the bottle of lotion

 

[Loose]

I honestly dont think lu has any faults as an artist , he can make hit records, write hooks, dumb it down, go introspective, plain ass spit while being lyrical as hell... on top of that his flow is top notch... shyts unheard of

 

[Jesus]

Off one spin, the only letdown comes from some of the hooks...Battle Scars, Heart Donor, Unforgivable Youth...otherwise Lupe is on point

Some of these tracks

I didnt think Lupe would ever make something like Hood Now again

That's the only thing that keeps this from being a 5/5 from me 4.5/5 and AOTY status.

 

[Headcase]

God bless you, Big Biz.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

"Ain't no manhood in beng beng."

 

[JoelB]

Thanks to the teachers strike Chief Keef wont catch that line, so Lu wont get shot over it
