    Gave this a chance after hating everything Lupe's said and rapped over the past few years and I'm surprised. Not going to listen to it enough to dissect all of his lyrics though. The 'Fort Minor - Believe Me' sample in the middle of Prisoner 1 & 2 is cool.

    ^yall know that the way lasers ended up being was forced on Lu by the label, so really he only had one misstep which was Food and Liquor 2.

    So technically he wasn't really "gone"

    And idk I didn't mind F&L 2 :dno:

    Listening right now, already love dots & lines. The production, hook >

    Edit: prisoner >>*. The believe me sample is great, this album s----s all over the last ones already. Production overall is fantastic

    Surprised how much I'm loving this. I have completely written Lupe off the past few years, not only the s--- music but it seemed like he was loosing his mind.

    Those interludes...

    T.R.O.N has imo the best beat off the album, but my fav song would probably be Madonna

    Dahi killed it production wise, I just felt that Soul's verse wasn't THAT good

    So Lupe actually made this album in 2014? I find it hard to believe with some of the s--- he's released the last few years. This album feels like it was made right after The Cool.

    Lupe back:woodson:
