    I gave the album a full listen finally (after having it for a week!) and I've gotta say... WOW. Lupe really took his s--- to a new level on here!

    This honestly might be his best work. The whole album flows like it's a one big track. Thought the dude completely lost it and wasn't interested in him at all for the past few years, but this is how you come back in a major way. Clap for em.

    I know I'm in the minority on this, but I actually liked Lasers. It isn't in the same league as F&L, The Cool, or T&Y, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

    I'd easily take Lasers over F&L2 :dno:

    I'm only on Body of Work right now but this is fantastic so far. Prisoners 1 & 2 was phenomenal.

    Definitely one of Lupe's best albums. This album has so many layers. Lu even confirmed that there are some songs on T&Y with multiple narratives at the same time. And the album is better when you listen to it backwards.

    Listening to this at last, I'm on Prisoner 1 & 2 right now (social commentary done well). Album's good so far, and Mural is amazing. Dots And Lines has interesting instrumentation. Blur My Hands was kinda meh, maybe because it's shoved in between these songs :dno:
    So far so good!

    Where the f--- did Lupe find Buk? Haven't heard of him in a long long time, I love his collaborations with Twista. I don't really like Choppers though, I don't see how it fits with what I've heard on the record until now, well I'm kinda bored because it's so long and stopped paying much attention to it lol.
