ant_7000 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I just got the album, I was wondering if it was worth hype that the internet rap community was giving him. After a couple listens, I would say yes and no, he doesn't blow me away with lyricism(on this album) that people were claiming, but his concepts are lil different and he has good wordplay. The album as whole is solid about 4 mics, eventhough i've heard better stuff from his bootlegs. Production was blazin thou. Thoughts?
Lt. Al Giardello Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Yeah I like his bootleg stuff better then his album, but the kid has nice skills. To a certain point people are overrating him, but at the same time he's problay one of the best new MC's to come out in awhile. It's a breath of fresh air with Lupe coming out, considering all the garbage that the South and G-Unit has produce in the last few years.
ant_7000 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Posted September 23, 2006 People tend to overrate him so much, he gets a little backlash from it, because the media hype him up as the next savior of rap.
Ripper Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 The Production is amazing. It is a decent album, but I can just listen to it playing all day. Lyrically, he sounds like he dumbed it down for a mainstream release.
