This has been in rotation since it leaked and the only slight is the production, doesn't have an hip hop feel to it but it's been growing on me.

You got your exceptions cold war, strange fruition, around my way, beats like that ballroom joint would not get considered by F&L/Cool Lupe.

Man that last verse on Unforgivable youth though :wow:
Saddened that this piff isn't getting the recognition it deserves.

The more and more i listen to this album, the more amazed I get at Lupe's lyrical abilities. The Unforgivable Youth track alone is one of the finest songs/display's of lyricism/MCing that I have heard in a long time. Truly amazing stuff!

:wow: That's my GOAT Jr. ya'll :to:

.......ya'll see Lupe's twitter rap just now?

"Harsh, not for cuddlers, but for butcher knife jugglers, jumpin out of jets over jungles in search of jaguar jugulars. A paper bag is child's play..someone is mistaken. I practice rapping myself out of bear traps, a straight jackets like a vacation. But let's say its a paper bag, and I'm hog tied and gagged, handcuffed to safe then lock inside the
trunk of a cab. Then the cab is driven to the river, set on fire, you know what? Skip the river lets say quick sand cuz quick sands thicker. Makes it harder 2move, especially when the dynamite is being triggered. Oh, I forgot mention, we added a little TNT 4 a Lil xtra tension. Then comes the explosion, a shower of pieces of cab, safe, sand, handcuffs and paperbag, the crowd stands silent...maybe a few gasps. Just when all hope is lost, and the crowd gets really sad, the smoke clears I appear with cucumber slices on my eyes enjoying my mud bath. Saying "This all you nikkas got for me?! Next time tie me up properly, Lu-Dini is unimpressed by this shoddily botched locksmith mockery! If Im trapped in a paper bag just make sure it's a pen in it, cuz that bytch gone look like the roof of da Sistine Chapel when Im finished."

While this song does indeed suffer from a weak hook, the lyrics are absolutely mindblowing. The last verse where he raps about how archeologists in the future would analyze our remains and what observations they would make had me like...:ohhh:

I need to know: is Lu talking about the deaths of Malcom and Biggie in the first verse of Cold War. It's killing me (no pun intended)? :noah:
