Lupe's 2nd studio album "The Cool" carries the lyrical momentum from Food & Liquor and continues to demonstrate Lupe's prowess over the game at the time of its prevelance. The productrion/sound embodies the era Lupe comes from and displays mastery on all fronts as such. It has a lot of similarities to Food & Liquor with its top tier production, lyrical content, substance and vocal performances throughout, and I would say it does an even better job in some instances.

This record is everything I want out of a hip hop album. Exceptionally powerful and intricate lyricism with deep but understandable concepts, incredible vocal performances, great features and hooks that add flavor to every single song, and magnificent production. It's long but perfectly balanced with no bloat, and every song gets me thinking while bopping my head at the same time. It's the perfect blend of consciousness and sonic bliss that many rappers strive for. I can go on and on about the ... read more
The current latest LP in Eminem's discography, it stands its own in the grand scheme of his catalog. While certainly not a great album, he's obviously matured from the likes of Kamikaze, no longer so blatantly bitter about the new generation of artists, and even working with a good number of them.

With features from Anderson .Paak, Don Toliver, Young M.A. and Juice Wrld, they all add to their songs in some way ... read more
Going into this album I honestly expected a lot worse, because my previous listens left a very poor impression but after listening to Revival, you learn to really appreciate this album. It's still not good, but it's a significant improvement on basically every front. The fact he went from that to this in less than a year is honestly mindblowing. This album for the most part is lyrically impressive, replacing the downright awful lines prevalent throughout his previous record with some rather ... read more
This album marks a new era of Eminem's career that I think everyone would like to forget, one that permanently tainted his image as one of the most revered rappers of the 21st century. I don't have too much to say about this. It's littered with terrible lyrics, questionable features, awful production, and incohesive subject matter that makes the album seem more like a jumbled compilation of random songs, not to mention the atrocious mixing on a good chunk of them. Like any Eminem project, I do ... read more
