The Cool

by: Lupe Fiasco

Release Date December 18, 2007
Lupe Fiasco's, The Cool, is just a fun CD to listen to. I am not a Hip-Hop expert by any means, but I like his flow and I enjoy the beats he uses. His collaborations with Michael Santos, Snoop Dogg and Sarah Green are great. When Superstar first came out, I was not a big fan of the song. The more I listened, the more I liked it and decided to give the entire cd a try after sampling all the songs on itunes. I was not disappointed. I am a big Tribe Called Quest fan and while Lupe is not in the same league as Tribe, he reminds me of them. Many of the reviewers here seem to like Lupe's first CD as much, if not better, than this one. I am excited to give a try.

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

by: Lupe Fiasco

Release Date September 19, 2006
This 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:

The Cool

by: Lupe Fiasco

Release Date December 18, 2007
Lupe Fiasco is not a complex person that needs to be studied. You either get him or you dont. He's a gifted rapper who not only goes left but he also drops some insight while he goes left. This album is mainly centered around "The Cool", a guy who gets shot and is reincarnated. Streets On Fire introduces The Streets, an evil seductress who is dangerous as she is appealing. Put You On Game is introduces another character called The Game and on the track he lets you know how he gets down. The album starts off with Baba Says Cool For Thought, an insightful poem by Iesha Jacob. Then it goes to a tribute to a locked up friend called Free Chilly. Go Go Gadget Flow is the first real track on the album as Lupe pays homage to Chicago over a beat that sounds ... Read More:

Kick Push

When my son left this in the CD player of the car, I was suprised and pleased to find some common ground with him in music. An intelligent and eligent rhyme with a smooth and cool rhythm. It was a pleasure to listen to a wordsmith who could paint a picture and set a great mood with his song.
