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: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
