Minor setback for Lupe in my eyes. Still know how incredibly talented this guy is, and still looking forward to any and everything he releases in the future.

Just picked it up at Best Buy. Letting Go (1st track) is so sweet.

two i believe

yep. but he might release a greatest hits for the second release. that would fulfill his contract w/ them.

a few of the hooks are still buggin me (state run radio being the most annoying), but they're not as bad as i first thought. all the rapping is on point. lupe's still a beast. this record is growing on me big time with each listen.

yeah, not a fan of that track either. 4+10 also get a nod for worst track.

no way 4+10 are some of my favorites right now haha

on to F+L II.

Last time I ever order directly from an artist's website. Luckily, I've been streaming this using Rdio.
Definitely have to say this album has grown on me lately.

Yeah I pre-ordered too. no clue what the hold up is. I don't have mine either.

for people that listen to nothing but pop music, they sure don't know much about it

also wiz and waynes popularity are both a fucking bad joke.

you don't think Food & Liquor is respectable in any way? crazy talk. dope record.
