Is the song that blatantly rips off Modest Mouse Lupe's song? I hear it everywhere.
The thing with The Marshall Mathers LP is that when I was a kid I heard so much from it at one point or another, I guess I just never bothered with the album itself, to the point where I never realize that I haven't actually heard it . I probably should get around to that.
The new Lupe album is going to be awful.
Por qué?
You've heard the new singles, yes? Shouldn't have to say more.

Atease tells me that the new Raekwon leaked. Anybody heard it yet?
Hmm, that was underwhelming. It would be glorious if record labels didn't castrate their rappers, since it's obvious that Lupe hasn't lost his skills based on those recent freestyles, so I can't imagine it's anything other than Atlantic wanting a more accessible sound.
I suppose so. I had a limited familiarity with them before the Fallon thing, but didn't really go into it much because I was confused by their release history and how most of the stuff is solo albums featuring the other guys.You're bandwagoned up now, too?

What a sad story. I know it makes me sound like a dick, but I was personally offended as I listened to Lasers, offended by what Atlantic did to the man's sound. It's very clear that the record does not have his stamp of approval, and it sucks for him that he will have to tour something he doesn't believe in. All my sympathies there.
That being said, he was responsible for the lyrics of the album, and they do largely blow. He's lost all nuance and cleverness. It's just awful, and I wish the apologists would just admit to themselves that EVERYONE mailed in Lasers.
All Black Everything is pretty cool. Apparently, Lupe likes that one too. That gives me hope.
Yeah, he's got some good flow, but the beats just aren't there on this one.So the new Raekwon is pretty meh. Actually reminds of Apollo Kids; not awful but far below what Wu-Tang is (still) capable of. The beats are totally generic, mostly no name producers on here (I guess they blew out their production budget getting Dre on Cuban Linx 2). Anyway, big letdown coming off of OB4CL2.
