That LOX track is amazing. I did not know those guys were that good, or maybe it's just that individually they are B-teamers.. Jadakiss has that gravelly voice which is cool but other than that I have never heard of those guys.

All Lupe and Kendrick really said about Iggy is that they don't hate the fact she exists and should be allowed to make her music.

Like Iggy is complete trash, but I'm not going to put the responsibility of white privilege on her.
If she wants to make her lovely but Grammy winning music go right ahead. It's not her fault we are where we are at. She's just a byproduct of how screwed up the world is.

Azelia Banks is right too, but she always takes it one tweet/step too far. Like her rant against Iggy was fine, but then she started to defended Bill Cosby.

SLR was like 4 years ago though. I'm not sure he has it anymore (which is unfortunate, because that was legit one of the top 5 "whoa" moments I've had listening to rap).

Lasers was a shitshow that I don't blame him for at all, but F&L2 he has to take some of the blame imo, simply because he was doing that super preachy style he's taken to a lot more recently.

But man, SLR...

To be fair he's always been pretty preachy. F&L and The Cool were extremely preachy but yeah, F&L 2 seemed like almost all him, and yeah preachy as poo poo, though it was still an improvement over Lasers.

But honestly he's been dropping some solid poo poo since then, just not anything that's getting on an album or talked about much.

Lillies, Mazinger, Haile Selassie are all pretty great and way closer to F&L, and The Cool quality stuff. Even SLR 2/SLR 3 while nowhere near as good as the first one are decent. Piece of Paper Cup of Jesus, was also pretty good.

I'm really interested to see what happens once Tetsuo and Youth Drops and he is released from Atlantic. As that removes a bunch of his excuses.

Perpetual Ascent posted:

I'm not even a huge fan of GKMC or Kendrick overall really, but this performance is really good, drat. If his new album is more like this and less like, uh... everything else since GKMC then I'll have to check it out.

We've only heard (potentially) 2 solo releases from him since GKMC. "I", which is could very well just be the positive and uplifting Now or Never of the album. And the Colbert Report song like you said was great.

Then again, I don't hate I or N/N like a bunch of people who I know do. Most of his output has been pretty solid and none I would say was bad. The Eminiem song was just more disappointing rather than bad. Em and Kendrick could have utterly destroyed a track and make a Renegade like classic. But they waste it on that.

And I still gotta listen to Lupe's album more. I've been listening to F&L actually a lot lately, dude's always had bars on top of bars. Think it's a bit early to start saying his new one should be up with the greats yet (although I've always backed that Lupe's one of the best rappers in terms of rappity-rap rapping ever).

Mural, Prisoner 1/2, Chopper, Dots and Lines, and Adoration of the Magi are all easily up there with his best rapping rear end raps.


Yuzenn posted:


(Can we discuss Tetsuo & Youth in the cannon of really great albums? I've listened to it probably a dozen times all the way through now and finally got down to digesting the lyrics seriously and it loving delivers on all levels.)

I'm still listening to it. I'm just really hesitant to look much past Lupe's own output as I'm trying to filter out if this is me just reacting to the fact that I've been waiting since Friend of the People for an enjoyable Lupe Project, and even that was more it's way better than Lasers but still not great.

So I can't tell if this is me overrating it because I was expecting so little out of it after the amount of bullshit that has come out of Lupe after that the fact that it's great is making me rate it so highly.

But between this album and those lost in the Atlantic releases(Mazinger, Halie Selassie, Lillies) last year, Lupe has been releasing a bunch of solid poo poo over the past year.

I'm really interested to see the route he takes now that he's fully independent.

Tetsuo & Youth is pretty good album. I don't know what's Lupe is talking about and I don't really love it. But it is a good album. I like about 4 songs off it, particularly Body of Work. The lyricism is a little too dense and comes off as an influenced by GKMC. It sounds acoustic friendly. Lupe can be serious or sarcastic and I like him when he is being a little silly.

No shots or anything, but what makes it seem inspired by GKMC?
