The Cool - 4 MICS
Lasers - 3 MICS


Let's see what Lupe got on this. I'm a huge fan, I think he's very talented. Sadly his quality dropped dramatically on his last LP.

I listened to the first F+L a few days ago to get excited for this. That album is a classic man. No question for me.

The Cool didnt really age as well IMO. It was very dark and lyrically fresh as fukk at the time, but it resembles this album with some corny beats and horrid choruses

This album may not be better than The Cool, but its on a similar vibe. Shoulda been called The Cool 2. It sounds nothing like F+L really. The soul and samples are gone which kinda blows.

I like this album tho. Its far from perfect, but theres a good 7-8 tracks that I really rock with

This whole album is great. It will take time to sink in. Strange Fult, Audubon, Lamborgini angels, Put em up, battle scars, braveheart and cold war are my favorites.

2nd half of the 3rd verse is the best part on the album

A Derrick Rose lob to me
And which and see I alley-oop it properly
Football or volley-b, hock-el-y, or sock-el-y
You just get the rock to me
Try and put me down like Gaddafi over Lockerbie
I'll lock you in a locker b
:ohlawd: :ohlawd: :ohlawd: :ohlawd:
Like Bruce Leroy, like Johnny in a locker see
Shock is the only thing that 2Pac is toppin me
Hottest rockin bottoms or kill em where your lava be

The Lupe critics are calling him too rappity rappity, too socially conscious, wanting him to go back to the "early days", weak ear for beats, boring.


....maybe Lupe is the future GOAT after all.

Pretty solid album. Def. better than Lasers. Some dope songs, some "mainstream-esque" sounding songs that could work for Lupe sales wise but I personally have no interest in.

If there's one glaring flaw in this album tho...it HAS to be the garbage ass hooks. shyt damn near ruins songs for me.

Cold War is pretty dope lyrically, but the chorus is :scusthov:


Absolutely. Beats and lyric wise, I felt like Cold War was a absolute 10/10 song...then that lame switch in the beat and the :trash: ass hook comes in. Damn near ruins the whole vibe of the song. It kinda pisses me off TBH.

He reupped like Nas with Stillmatic.
BUT dudes should listen to the album before reading this thread don't let people's opinions (on coli it's usually classic or garbage) affect your mind

First few listens its a strong 4 mics like 8.5 or a 4.5 mic album definetly seeing his old shyt but doesn't sound like his old shyt.
