Jan 18, 2015 Found this on another forum and I thought it was a good post After a full complete couple of listens, this album is okay. It does have some certified amazing joints, but it has some overwhelmingly tedious songs too. Too much of OVERDOING IT lyrically as well as musically. Some of the music overproduced and could of been very much improved if it took a back seat to simplify it in order to AMPLIFY the lyricism more. OR at least if some of the songs, lyrically, ain’t like trying to solve a Rubik’s puzzle and Lupe just coast throw the beat with straight forward lyricism those songs could be amplify better as well. you CAN be lyrically complex, musically expansive, AND stay grounded to be relatable to the listener. It felt at times, Lupe was trying to FORCE all of it together instead of allowing it to be more fluid. He wants to show you he’s the so-called smartest MC in the room. He wants to show you he’s the most musically imaginative there. He wants to do TOO much that it takes away the actual soul and heart into it. It’s hard for me to sit back and vibe when I am trying so much work trying to decipher all the coded language he’s saying. A song like Adoration of Magi WORKS where it was musically organic, lyrically smart, and not overdone. There’s several songs that are like that and Mural was a perfect start, but overall the complete album felt disjointed to me. Still a decent album, so this isn’t a trashing of the album, but my honest critique. thoughts?
Jan 18, 2015 I actually agree with that! A lot of his music sounds forced, contrived and repetitive to me
Jan 18, 2015 this guy act like hes all high and mighty but just another phaggot with a big ego who tries to act like he is a rap nobleman this guy is the fuking hipster of hip hop such a hater too. this guy be hating man.
Jan 18, 2015 Lmao Kanye gets shat on for not enough lyrics Then lupe has too much Haters gonna hate, you're d---ed if you do d---ed if you don't he delivered an album that at points lets you bask in its glory and at other times asks you to take the time to pay attention Lupe a young genius hate is unnecessary and unwarranted
Jan 29, 2015 Tetsuo and the Youth is a modern day classic..better than GKMC to me..I give the edge on beats to GKMC just by a small margin..but the lyrics and flow on Lupes Album blows Kendrick out the water..album is too deep for the regular rap fan
Jan 29, 2015 All you said was that the album isn't that good because it has too much going on in it, too many layers, and of course you dont have to like that, but that doesn't make it bad, i like a lot of layers to my music and i shouldn't have to be told my opinion is 'wrong' just because of that, just like people shouldn't be told that it's 'wrong' to enjoy simpler music, there's a time and place for both Also this album doesn't sound forced btw, it sounds very natural, 'lasers' sounds forced
