Lupe -Lasers: Track by Track Review

Lasers

Letting Go- A pretty mellow track. Lupe speaks of inner conflict. The chorus is nice, and the beat fits pretty well. 8/10

Words I Never Said- Lupe gets right into some conspiracy stuff and he also speaks his mind on Presidenet Obama as well as some other things. The song has a hot beat and a great chorus. 9/10

Till I Get There- Lupe speaks introspectively about his experiences. The beat is decent, and I really like the chorus. He seems to be struggling with stardom on this song. 8/10

I Don’t Wanna Care Right Now- A really cool song….Lupe turns it up a little bit lyrically here. The chorus fits right in. The beat has some nice flashy elements to it. 9/10

Out of My Head- Lupe is joined by Trey Songz for the first time. Trey’s chorus really makes the song, Lupe’s verses aren’t that bad though, but they’re a little dumbed down from his usual greatness. 7/10

The Show Goes On- This song seems to have everything going for it. It’s inspirational and Lupe verses are on point. I love the chorus and beat too. “When times is hard you stand up” 9.5/10

Beautiful Lasers (2 Ways)-another pretty mellow song. This one isn’t that uplifting though. The beat is cool but the chorus is nothing special. 6/10

Coming Up- Lupe channels some Pac on this one…I like the chorus, and the message of the song…but it just seems rather out of Lupe’s style. Lupe spits hope to young females.

State Run Radio- Lupe is joined by Matt Mahaffey here. The chorus is hot, and the song has some good pacing. Lupe raps more about the struggle of people these days. 7.5/10

Break the Chain- This is one of the albums better songs. Lupe raps about freedom here. The beat is epic, and the chorus is awesome. 8.5/10

All Black Everything- The albums best song. ABE is about if slavery didn’t happen among other things…like the civil war. Its like a world backwards. “President Bush sends condolences from Iran…where Amahdenijad wins the all black people peace prize”. Its essentially about a world with no racism. The singing the background is awesome and for once on the album does everything fit up to Lupe’s standards. 10/10

Never Forget You- Lupe is joined by John Legend on this one.. This song isn’t all that but its optimistic and JL does a nice job. Not a bad way to close the album.

Overall this isnt a bad album...I'll give it a 3.5/5 stars....good job mr. Fiasco.

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20) Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19) Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”. 18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

My Top Video Games of all time

I've done plenty of music lists, so i think its time to pay homage to my top video games of all time. I'm only going to mention games i've played. So, if a game you like is not up here(which I guarantee a few wont be) let me know. Lets get into it.... 1) The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- I have praised this game so many times, and it’s all well deserved. Ocarina has great controls and the graphics were nice at the time. I really love the story, and how the game is paced. You do a side quest of some kind, which generally isn’t long, then you go to a dungeon, get an item, use that item to get further in the dungeon, then beat the boss. Ocarina is, the best Zelda, and as of right now I don’t think that’s up for discussion. There are some really good Zelda games though such as Wind Waker, ALTTP(which made my list), and some others. 2) Final Fantasy X- Final Fantasy X….is the only FF I’ve beaten, and I’ve played F...
