I liked 'Lasers'. Sure it was more of a pop album, but it was a good pop album.

This new album is okay, but not nearly as good as 'The Cool' though.

'The Cool' is legitimately one of the best Hip-Hop albums of the past decade.

 

[Steez]

Lupe stans, breh.


Album is a 6/10, nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah, 6/10 is pretty accurate. I'm almost done with my first listen and all in all, it's just an inoffensive and unexciting rap album.

Definitely not in the same league as The Cool and Food & Liquor.

 

[solomon]

Naw Pusha T and Kendrick are probably gunna drop better albums

 

[Kade]

Migos debut coming out in spring. Already won AOTY.

My hitta

 

[Ovid]

Lol @ the Double Dragon reference in "Adoration of the Magi".

EDIT: On my first listen, I like it.

 

[katkombat]

Man on the Moon 3 is slated for this year

 

[RP912]

Pizzaman don't come here no more!!!

 

[block tower]

lupe's album isnt that great. doubt itll have any longevity in the rap album of the year conversation.

Man on the Moon 3 is slated for this year

cudi fell off so hard. dude isnt coming back for redemption lol

 

[Uno Venova]

Man on the Moon 3 is slated for this year

If he actually gets Plan Pat & Emille back

 

[RP912]

Wait there was a Man on the Moon 2?

 

[PBY]

Rap Albums this month better than this-
Rae sremmurd
Joey B
Futures mixtape
Trinidad James mixtape

 

[RBK]

Wait there was a Man on the Moon 2?

Released in 2010.

Best thing Cudi dropped.

 

[Silky]

B4DA$$ is the better album

 

[Ovid]

Have faith in Cudi.

 

[RP912]

Released in 2010.

Best thing Cudi dropped.

Shit I forgot it was called Man on the Moon 2. Truth...that was a pretty dope album and slept on as well.

 

[WorldStar]

lol no

rae sremmurd got it on lock

 

[Ovid]

lol no

rae sremmurd got it on lock

Stop.

 

[Skinny Pete]

UNLAWK!!!!

Kriss Kross reboot?

 

[block tower]

I'm guessing the boy Gucci will put out half a dozen mixtapes that are better than this, minimum.

 

[RP912]

Rae really had a dope album or yall bullshitting? Stop toying with me :/

 

[Floridian]

Rae really had a dope album or yall bullshitting? Stop toying with me :/

Appetizer, not the main course.

 

[Uno Venova]

Rae really had a dope album or yall bullshitting? Stop toying with me :/

Of course not

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Didn't even listen to other albums mentioned in this thread yet, but I know TY didn't do anything overly special. Murder the rap game when other big names are dropping this year? C'mon.

The album does prove that Lupe is on the right track, though.

 

[Spider from Mars]

VRSES EP is better

 

[Rastafarian42]

I'm at a in between where I can respect this opinion and confused as fuck at the same time.

Is it that complicated breh ?

 

[RP912]

Of course not

Thanks I thought there was hope after No Flex Zone.

 

[rugioh]

AOTY claims in the middle of January, in the same month as B4D.A$$ and Sremmlife? Am I on KTT?

 

[Servbot24]

B4DA$$ is the better album

And Nickleback is better than Creed.

When is the real stuff coming?

 

[block tower]

And Nickleback is better than Creed.

When is the real stuff coming?

whenever migos album drops

 

[Pavaloo]

Man I'm a big fan of Lupe, but come on bro. As much as I like T&Y so far it's not even been as memorable to me as FL2. Say what you will, but I'm looking for this album's Lamborghini Angels.

And then LOL start the thread, but as soon as anyone says otherwise you're just like "ahhh man, I guess this is Gaf. Just shut it down guys I'm out"

Interesting how Lupe said he still included tracks he didn't like on the album. Wouldn't be surprised if one of them was Blur My Hands.

Can't wait to see what he does next now that he's off Atlantic records.

He's been saying that with every album since Lasers, huh. Didn't he say he actually hated Lasers before it came out?

I think it's really cool how the album is set up - I like to start listening at Winter like the year would start in January and let it play from there - I feel like Mural plays better in that sense when it comes in later

Source?

yarr

peace of man don't come here no mo ~ i didnt like deliver and madonna before but i'm turning around

 

[Wiz]

I got your back OP. I agree!

I haven't listened to much else that dropped so far this year, but still!

 

[RP912]

I remember when LupEND was supposed to be a triple disc final album, but Atlantic wanted Lasers to happen and a different direction to Lasers leading to Lupe losing his damn mind. Lupe is a talented artist, the problem seems to be that he doesn't have enough creative freedom with his craft.

 

[Mononoke]

Don't get me wrong it's way better than lasers and f&l2, but those are legit 2 of the worst albums ever made. A 5/10 album from Lupe is all it takes to be a pleasant surprise.

lol pretty much this.

This has nothing on F&L or The Cool.

 

[theignoramus]

Lupe stans, breh.


Album is a 6/10, nothing more, nothing less.

Yup. Monotonous at points and ultimately forgettable.

 

[FZZ]

AOTY? not even album of the month bruh:

Truth.

 

[Japanmanx3]

That's not saying much, bruh.

I guess I owe the old Lupe fan in me a listen, but I'm keeping my expectations low.

By all means do that. It's not better than The Cool but some of the tracks are on that level. Mixtape Lupe is still the God tho.

 

[RP912]

By all means do that. It's not better than The Cool but some of the tracks are on that level. Mixtape Lupe is still the God tho.

His Revenge of the Nerds mixtape still gets spins to this day.

Dat Lupe The Killer though .

 

[Courage]

When is the real stuff coming?

3/24

 

[studyguy]

3/24

That video is still the dopest one I've seen since last year.

 

[Staccat0]

Spoke his mind in his usual cryptic manner. People couldn't deal. He needed to dumb that shit down.

Instead. He dropped the album of the decade.

I dunno. He started getting into stupid shit like the illuminati.

 

[IrishNinja]

Listen to this man.

Spoiler

except the K Dot part

notice he ain't said yeezy tho

But what does Azaelia Banks think?

said no one ever

Man on the Moon 3 is slated for this year

i wonder if this or jurassic world will let their respective crowds down harder

 

[D1renegade]

This is easily his best produced album. Lyrically this albums lacks balance. He went overboard on the complexity and layers. I'm having a hard time digesting some of these verses.

 

[overcast]

Man on the Moon 3 is slated for this year

Cudi sucks. Why would you want to hear his music in 2015?

 

[leakey]

Lupe confirmed best 2015 album for the tin foil hat Da Vinci code fan club.

 

[Pinko Marx]

GAF just can't handle true, poetic, deep lyricism. Layers to this shit.

 

[IrishNinja]

GAF just can't handle true, poetic, deep lyricism. Layers to this shit.

which fanbase do ya'll reckon this line originated with? Canibus? Papoose? maybe Saigon, maybe people checking for Blu past the mid aughts?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Most of the way through it at the moment and not feeling it. But I feel your pain OP. I think Because the Internet was in the top 3 hip hop albums of 2013.

 

[Pinko Marx]

which fanbase do ya'll reckon this line originated with? Canibus? Papoose? maybe Saigon, maybe people checking for Blu past the mid aughts?

#realhiphop

 

[Fjordson]

Not really feeling it. Can't imagine it'll be topping many lists by year's end.

which fanbase do ya'll reckon this line originated with? Canibus? Papoose? maybe Saigon, maybe people checking for Blu past the mid aughts?

Blu deserves better than that =[

 

[Pavaloo]

I kinda wish the whole album sounded like Mazinger lol
