Lupe Fiasco's Discography


Tetsuo & Youth
This very well be Lupe’s best offering. Its varied, complex, and it has great cohesiveness. There are 4 skits that are named after the seasons. Beside from those its incredible.  The 2 songs with Nikki Jean, and Prisoner 1&2 are my favorite tracks here.  The beats on the album are also great.You need at least 2 or 3 listens to fully digest this terrific album.
A+

Food & Liquor II:The Great American Rap Album
Lupe was desperate to get back on track. This album should have just been called The Great American Rap Album imo. Its not very similar to F&L 1 at all. However it is a good album. The album starts off great, but then kinda gets a little generic and stale.  B*tch Bad is a terrific slow tempo song.
B+


Lasers
Lasers isn’t a bad album, but it is a disappointment compared to Lupe’s first 2 albums. The production just doesn’t match the lyrics Lupe is spitting half the time. His lyrics are quite a bit dumbed down too. There are some gems here like The Show Goes On, Words I Never Said, and All Black Everything.
C+


The Cool-
 Lupe avoided the sophomore slump easily with this stellar album. Its one of the better lyrical performances ever heard. The album’s weak points are its beats but they aren’t bad. The album is very cohesive as well, being a multi-concept album….I personally prefer this one over F&L…but I gave them the same rating 95/100.

Food & Liquor
Lupe came out the gates blazing with F&L. The album just feels like a breath of fresh air. This album has no glaring weaknesses. There are some really creative songs like Hurt Me Soul, The Cool, and The Instrumental. Kick Push is a dope single, as is I Gotcha. If you haven’t heard a Lupe album yet, start this one.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...
