Lupe + Aesop like come on how can I not give this a perfect rating lol
Randomly found this while searching for something to listen to and got hooked by the beautiful cover. Can't say I was disappointed- quite the opposite, this has really good stuff on it. I don't even feel like it drags, I love the production and lyricism on every single song and it's just such a cool atmosphere. I dunno though, maybe it's just a trap..?
Same thing I said for Lasers, It's not as lyrically excellent like Lupe's other works but I don't mind this guy taking a step back and just making some pop rap bangers- I just wish he wasn't forced to by some stupid label shit. Promise, Jump, It's not Design, and a few others are still really fun for me regardless.
Nearly on the same level as Tetsuo & Youth for me. Songs like WAV Files and XO (this is so underrated wtf) make this unforgettable for me and I will never stop coming back to this album. Also, songs like Alan/Jonylah Forever are truly special once you realize the heart-breaking backgrounds. Maybe I'll find this to be a 10/10 at some point because right now it's super close.
This genuinely feels like 1 song with how consistent the vibes and quality are. I love this, the highs with Samurai and No. 1 headband for example are just insane.
