Editorial Review: Album Description: With Food & Liquor, Lupe Fiasco sets no boundaries for himself as he creates a revolutionary brand of alternative hip-hop in which he shares his mind through original storytelling techniques. He takes hip-hop off the streets and onto the half pipe, off the streets and into the sneaker shops, off the streets and into the hands and in front of real people. Amazon.com: Let's see...a rap artist is hyped insufferably, his music is leaked incessantly, his album is delayed indefinitely, the hype grows, rinse, repeat. Welcome to the world of pop music in 2006, when "unauthorized" Internet seepage can somehow manage to simultaneously make and break an aspiring young performer. Lupe Fiasco's unfinished debut CD was slathered all over the Web for months, like some sort of Lonelygirl15, before finally seeing the legitimate light of day. That said, the Chicago-bred rapper, who rose to prominence thanks to his "Touch the Sky" collab with Kanye West, is hardly a slouch. His skittering, low-key rapping style is truly distinctive, and his lyrics are mostly thoughtful and creative without being heavy-handed. Despite frequent comparisons to "thinking man's rappers" from Tribe and De La Soul to Nas, the most apt comparison might be to Kanye West himself: Like West, Fiasco rises above the trappings of the street without sounding condescending or out of touch, and his sound has the same "timeless" quality--partly old-school, partly of the moment. Yet somehow, Food & Liquor isn't quite a home run either; it lacks fire and it cries out for an infectious track or two that really sticks. Still, Lupe distinguishes himself as an artist to watch. --Marc Greilsamer Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best debut album since College DropoutThis is definitely in my top 5 rap albums ever. The entire cd is solid all way through. Lupe's lyricism, wordplay, and storytelling make me listen to this album over and over, which is something I usually can't do with a cd. Although I gave the album 5 stars, there were a few things I didn't like, which don't affect the rating much: the intro track would've been cooler with a verse, and I didn't care for the American Terrorist song much. I can see why people would like that song, though, it's just not my kind of song. Also, the outro track is tiring; it's cool if you knew Lupe and you are listening to hear him shout your name, but otherwise, this last track is just skippable - or just don't put it on your iPod to save space. Otherwise, the other ... Read More: Rating: - Solid Debut Album from LupeLupe is the new messiah of rap. His lyrics are damn near godly. Get this album as soon as u can and help support Lupe. Rating:  - Lupe Fiasco "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor"- 4.5 StarsLupe Fiasco's debut album "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor" is one the best debut albums in the past decade. Lupe was prevalent on the mix tape circuit in Chicago before getting his mainstream breakthrough. Most of the world first heard of this artist on Kanye West's single "Touch The Sky" off of Late Registration. Well, working with Mr. West must have influenced him to put out gold on his first release. Lyrically, this is one the most creative LPs in a while. Songs such as "Kick, Push II, Hurt Me Soul, and my personal favorite, The Cool, show how talented this young artist is. The production here is great. With Kanye West, Prolyfic, and Lupe's favored beatmakers, Soundtrakk, the music behind the stellar lyrics is awesome. Guest spots are ... Read More: Rating: - Boy was I missing outI've been listening to hip hop my whole life and I must say Lupe is absolutely one of the best out there. His beats are great and original and his lyrics are jaw dropping. I'm just picking up this album after buying his second album "The Cool" because I like every song on that album and had never heard this one. I must say that his second album is better but this one is no slouch either. Basically if you want real rap and not the mainstream "Get low Shawty" rap you hear everyday on the radio pick up this album. You wont regret it. Top 5 songs: 1. The Cool 2. The Instrumental 3. Hurt Me Soul 4. Sunshine 5. Real Rating: - Lupe Fiasco- Food & LiquorLupe is a genius. I have never heard a rapper that is so intellegent like Lupe. Lupe's rhymes are flawless on this album. He has something for everyone on this album. And to be totally honest, I was a HUGE Lupe hater when he first came out. I absolutely hated "Kick Push" every time i heard the song on the radio i turned off the radio. And thats why my review is so delayed. I just bought this album a few months ago because a friend said it was amazing. And he was right. Lupe is the best rapper alive right now, hands down. No one else comes close. He is so intellegent with his lyrics. The production on this album is flawless as well. This album honestly changed my views on music. I feel like i was cheating myself by listening to rappers like 50 Cent, ... Read More: |
