Support NeoGAF

[RBK]

Ah okay. I really liked Body of Work. Deliver's dope but I could do without the chorus. I'll pay more attention to the others you mentioned.

I'm usually with you on excessively long songs (especially when the beat doesn't switch up) but for some reason this works for me. Like, there's no filler at all. Didn't realize the sample was being heavily passed around now. lol it's always weird when that happens (guess clearance went through for everyone at the same time ). Who else is using it?

Some mixtapes, some albums.

 

[NotBacon]

Not really into hip hop (only have a couple drake albums and a couple of others), but this shit is DOPE.

Chopper, Blur My Hands, Mural...

IT'S ALL SO GOOD.

 

[WanderingWind]

Did somebody really just try to test somebody's hip hop cred on NeoGAF.com, in a Lupe Fiasco thread, by quoting a song from last year?

 

[number11]

Fall is definitely by favourite section on this album. I always thought Lupe just fell off as a rapper, but it's clear that the record label was the main reason why his last two albums sucked.

 

[FourMyle]

OP (the album) corny af

Not my fault he was uninformed.

Time and place breh. Time and place.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Lol. I've looked up multiple lists of Best Ofs just to make sure I wasn't missing anything and at the end I'm like...

 

[CountBlack]

Went through B4DA$$ and T&Y a couple times..


The winner is.... B4DA$$.


T&Y was a good listen though, won't lie.

 

[WanderingWind]

B4DA$$ was for people who never experienced the 90s but still want to pretend. How do you not listen to him talking about people jacking his style and not bust out laughing? His entire existence is a pastiche of shit his heroes did better. Still, a couple of songs showed a glimmer of talent. Too bad it's buried under silliest persona this side of Chris Gaines.

 

[Mdot]

It's definitely solid.

But......Yeezus seasoning approaching.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

B4DA$$ sounds like a Termanology album/mixtape from like 2006.

 

[overcast]

Badass is such a plain, completely uninspired listen. There is nothing unique. If you do a throwback album, at least make it a nice attempt.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

2015 is certainly off to a much better start than 2014 that's for sure. B4.DA.$$ and Tetsuo and Youth are fucking gems

 

[beato_angelico]

sorry but I have to ask. why hip hop fans use expressions like "murdering the rap game" unironically?

 

[mr2xxx]

It's alright but nothing special, I'll give it some more listens in hopes it grows on me but for right now , is this album murdering anything?

 

[EloquentM]

Few days later and it's still mediocre.

Bruh, January of last year had Step Brothers and Cilvia Demo.

 

[Uno Venova]

Been spinnin this since it leaked and it's still amazing.

 

[BlueSteel]

I am listening to the album backwards, the man is impressive,

I had a friend explain to me the golden means reference in dots and lines too.

Impressive. Still not smart enough to be a Lupe Stan :[

 

[Pavaloo]

Lupe preforming "Deliver" on Late Night with Seth Meyers

 

[breakfuss]

I can't get over "PIZZA MAN DON'T COME HERE NO MO". Hilarious. What's funnier is how the dude singing at the end starts breaking the hook down. LOL. The song actually makes astute observations but it sounds like a damn parody. Too deep for me, I guess!

Some mixtapes, some albums.

Thanks. I'll listen to these later. See which I like better.

Pizza man, peace of man, tomato, tomahto

[IrishNinja]

Lol. I've looked up multiple lists of Best Ofs just to make sure I wasn't missing anything and at the end I'm like...

if you meet the buddha on the road, kill him

Bruh, January of last year had Step Brothers and Cilvia Demo.

goddamn, last year's january was such hot shit in comparison, forgot about this

 

[GamerSoul]

edit: I was a bit late on that one
From the other topic about the pizza:

Seriously, the more I listen to it, the more I enjoy it.

Can we have fun in a rap thread?

Bruh, January of last year had Step Brothers and Cilvia Demo.

CD was my shit and I still love it to this day.

 

[Protag]

I wouldnt say Tetsuo is better than The Cool, as collectively the concept of the cool is great and pretty choesive, with all the other "things" he raps about among that overarching theme.

Tetsuo is a legitimate worthy follow up to The cool, and honestly, Lamers and F&L II, as far as im concerned are just experimental/supplemental albums.

Tetsuo & youth is GREAT. And i had lost a lot of faith in lupe after Lasers. Man i hate lasers.

 

[Pinko Marx]

It's definitely solid.

But......Yeezus seasoning approaching.

What does Yeezus seasoning go good on? Cornbread? Chicken?

 

[Remark]

We gon act like B4.Da.$$ isn't the better album.

Ok.

Dots & Lines is one song I don't get, except for the fact he's talking about not signing to a major label.

 

[Gattsu25]

I'm...not that impressed.

Still listening through it.

Don't sign your soul away. Rap Genius did a pretty interesting look into it.

 

[Mdot]

All of the above. Yeezy season, however. THAT's what is approaching lol.

Too preocuppied at work. Stupid work.

 

[Majestad]

Ok.

Lmao. Joey's album is decent at its very best. Tetsuo & Youth is excellent.
