Wow, Lupe Fiasco's first album is terrific.

Yup, one of my all-time faves that I go back to every now and then, like Common's Be. I can see how it could be considered corny listening to it now, but I have so many good memories of it from my youth. The production is so smooth.

EDIT: The Instrumtal is an insta-skip, though.
EDIT2: Okay, I remembered right, that was the Mike Shinoda-produced one.
 
You mean finally a rapper with some dope vocal melodies and flows in a banger of a track.

I believe it. Just isn't the type to make up petty shit, and he's def hinted at writing famous people's verses before. I think it was on Sway where he was like, I wrote some of your favourite verses and UEONO.

yup i believe him too. Just Blaze is that dude.
 
Gibbs has that commanding presence and smooth flow that captivates you throughout the song. Plus his lyrics don't make you cringe.
 
Not as good as the og brehs.
Yeah, delivery kind of sucks the energy/fun out of it, Gibb's curse as an MC. Flow wasn't that great either. Plus nothing touching that Ye verse:

God damn, got a bald fade, I might slam
Pink fur, got Nori dressing like Cam!
Thank God for me!
Whole family gettin' money, thank God for E!

I FEEL LIKE PABLO
 
I know I give Ye a lot of shit but dude might have the GOAT delivery since it perfectly fits his image

I like both versions
 
To be fair, the first half of Ye's verse is like that too.

The other day I mentioned in the Ye thread Gibbs or Cam or Lupe or someone would great on the track if they could cut Ye's verse down. But if this is the energy Gibbs brings to it then it's probably best as freestyle/remix.

Man I'm not feeling that Rihanna/Drake track. Feels phoned in by both of them.

Not offensive, or even bad.
Cosigned, to an extent. I'm indifferent, but the fact that it isn't a winner out of the gate kind of makes it disappointing. Maybe it will grow, I think the hook works
pun intended
