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.

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...
