It's awful.
I think Earl realized his potential on Doris, fwiw.
I still can't rate it. It's an album you have to take in slowly. (Could go from anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 atm)
Ferg is the best kind of 3.5 mic album you can get. (mid 90s Source scale). Just fun beats, fun features and fun hooks.
After more listening, this fucking Big Sean shit is targeted towards children. They might as well put Pokemon on packs of Newports if they feel OK exporting this to the seeds. Some poor 12 y/o kid is gonna grow up on this crap and think it's a classic.
You guys think GAF Hop is annoying with people who grew up on Lupe and Eminem, just wait til this 12 y/o get's his GAF account approved and is the non sarcastic Macca.

I grew up on Lupe.. I turned out fine. What are you saying Kamp? He released 2 albums that are basically gold, not my fault.
Like feeding children formula instead of titty milk. Just goddamn wrong.

If the 12 year olds come here they will just get scared off. But I really hope some stick with it here, would be quite entertaining

The physical form of blasphemy
The lows on this album are mind boggling low. I can't get over how terrible 10 2 10 is in it's entirety. This struggle verse from Common is truly forgettable. Freaky is...yea.
It's a decent album but holy shit. The missteps are like stepping back and falling into a void of mediocrity with a laugh track playing.
Ultra lol @ him having Minaj on a track talking about sucking his dick.
The production is ace.

Nah, I think Big Sean will be tagged as this generation's MC Hammer.

i think youre being generous with the 2.5. shits terrible bro.
Well I grew up with an abundance of stuff. I found Lupe on my own, was good shit man.
Overcast I gotta say, outside of the Chance avatar, you're one of the good ones.
Lupe's albums are not "classic" either. Dude was a nice little backpack feature killer who dropped some catchy cool tunes. There's no lasting influence from any of Lupe's albums. It's just bookworm rappity rap.

Revisionist history at its finest. Lupe was the toast of the town (gaf-ville) and practically all rap blogs, mags, and communities. I don't know how one qualifies an album as classic since there is never any consensus, but his first 2 albums either are or just miss the mark.
He didn't many catchy cool tunes until after his first 2 albums when he tried to go the mainstream route.
And lol@ bookworm rappity rap. Like that is a bad thing or because it was different than the usual mainstream releases its any less in quality.
Lupes shit is called 'classic' because the mainstream was so dire that the 'real' rap people were desperate, willing to anoint anyone the new guy. Lupe created his 'classics' in an era where heads were actually trying to listen to Budden rap for money. That's all that needs to be said. His shit is corny and lame. He has bars, but his music always struck me as safe and toothless. Babbys first rap album. Actually... The Cool was one of the ten first rap albums I listened to and it still got slam dunked into the recycle bin.
Trash.
Trash.
the first F&L is definitely a classic.
in more interesting news...
Kanye doing his first TV interview in forever...on Mama Kris' show. Aug 23.
West, who welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian in June, opens up to Jenner about his baby girl, falling in love with Kim, and dealing with the press.
He also addresses President Obamas comments last month about how celebrities like Kanye and Kim have shifted the idea of the American dream. There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the president said at the time. Kids werent monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success.

words cant express the disappointment i felt finally getting around to The Cool after countless endorsements
on HOF where the hell is the Eminem track? Did he murder Sean worse than Kendrick or something? Could they not clear Ems sample with Barnum and Bailey?

lmao
Influence is one of the biggest things I weigh when I put a classic label on something. Lupe just kinda hopped on Kanye's boat and rapped a little better (subjectively).
They're nice ass quality 4 mic albums, just far from classics.
What rap mag was singing his praises the way you say? Source was shit at the time and XXL basically classified him as alt rap. His first two joints are nice, but dude just comes off like a Robin with no Batman. Kanye wouldn't even fully adopt him.

Too true and he don't mean in a Nightwing type of way. He just is so boring. He's like that member of the group who leaves and goes solo to make boring albums.
Awesome, bout to dive into some of these tapes while I cook

Hearing this alone will make me listen to this shit
Agreed. Album was really really bad.
Man, Lupe was big over here when he came out. Kick push, Daydreamin, Superstar were all pretty popular.
Lupe is a joke now and its shameful to even associate with liking his music. Doesn't take away the fact his first two albums can be debated as classics. Shit, look at the GAF-Hop top albums, he's on there. FnL is a classic imo.
Also Somewhere in America and Beach is Better are the two biggest wastes of beats in a while. I would've tolerated listening to Jay phone it in for 4-5 minutes on each of them. Such great beats.
lmao its funny how well that worked.

what an embarrassing album. i really like dollar and a dream 3 though. kingdom hearts needs to be sampled more.
that cover art. what a creeper. just chilling in a high school locker room.
he's sitting there cause he's waiting for the highschool girl who said she'd meet him there right after class. its a couple of hours later and he's still waiting. poor cole, will he ever win?
It's such a shame Big Sean jacked the Late Great Lake Ruler Blade Icewoods' swag with the boi shit.

Nah. Dude is probably in a 24 Hour Fitness playing basketball with some guys in their mid 40s trying to portray himself as an educated youth hoping to get at one of their daughters.
This is what I'm most hyped for when I get home, SB always knows what's up.
Born Sinner is outright terrible though.
ThanksVision
