Lupe Fiasco's The Cool

[swiss]

Anyone who heard his first album will know Lupe Fiasco is the best thing since Kanye West.

If your tired of gangster rap or the whole 'crunk' crap, you should try this album; lyrically its excellent and yet theres still some real catchy stuff like Superstar and Hip Hop saved my Life.
A few weak tracks sure, but thats to be expected from an 18 track album.

He is like Akon, and he and Kayne suck.

Use the transitive property if you don't get my message.

 

[Houndini]

not that bad, he had some good songs.

He is absolutely nothing like Akon, name one way / song in which they are similar..
and whats transitive property?

 

[Darkside55]

best thing since Kanye West.

Despite this, I actually listened to him. Eh.

This album is pretty good, Lupe keeps his style diverse. Listen to "Go Go Gagdet flow" and "Paris, Tokyo". These 2 songs are good example to compare, his style that he approaches them with is very different. I am not referring to the message or the meaning of the lyrics in the song either but, the way he performs them.

My fav tracks are "little weapon", "fighters", "Paris, Tokyo" and "Streets on Fire"

Yeah he can go from a mellow chilled out style, to fast mc style rapping.
Little weapon and Streets on fire are also my favourites along with 'Go baby'.
Intruder alert has such a sweet opening beat, check it out on youtube:
