While I prefer The Truth is Among Us, this one was still really solid and still worth a listen. I love mixtape era Lupe, it just has that early to mid 2000's hip hop if that makes since.

Came here for Lupe. but damn I was not expecting Nikki Jean to do great (fyi I'm someone who's heard her featured in Lupe songs)
I see why Lupe loves this guy now. I listened to Black Hole Suprette a couple weeks ago and liked it but nothing above that. So I came into this thinking it was fine, boy was I wrong. This was amazing. Dense lyrics with substance, fun performances all around, fun albeit simplistic production and now youve got yourself a masterpiece. The Impossible Kid has grown to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Listen to it, I can't recommend it enough.

Boy oh boy was I excited for this, while I wish there were more tracks, I still loved what this had to offer. SOS is one of the best tracks of the year and High Note was pretty fucking great. Nothing really bad I have to say about this.
Best Song: SOS
Worst Song: Bigfoot (Remix)
"The melted lunchbox of a disintegrated girl
Dogs on fighters, mosquitoes, flies and squirrels
Men, women and children have their bones cooked to ash
And their shadows burning to the ground from the flash"
This man is unmatched lyrically
I would like to stare the person who added FACK and thought it was a good idea.
Such an interesting piece of history from my goat
The calming beat is so fucking dope. Lupe flows through this nicely and it kind of reminds me of Samurai even though this came out in 2023. I still love this song either way.
Solid for what it is
Run Game & Hey Lupe are fun tracks
Best Song: Run Game
Worst Song: Drivin Me Crazy
Logic raps his ass off throughout this album and I wish that we would still get this version of him.
Best Song: Dead Presidents III
Worst Song: Aye Girl
Slept On: All Sinatra Everything
What is this, well gotta find and listen to this. Will update when done.
Update: So I listened to it, and holy fuck I'd rather listen to Lasers. To start, I noticed that some of the tracks are from Lupe's "Friend of the People" mixtape which I thought was a decent mixtape. Lupe Back, Life Death and Love, and DBWC being here is great but I wish SLR was here but whatever. Besides that nothing here is worth listening to Besides the 3 tracks I just mentioned. No wonder I just ... read more
Eminem sure as shit puts up a show for us all. I loved what he does on this, I'd argue this was peak Eminem and his best album to date.
Best Song: Without Me
Worst Song: Drips
Slept On: Superman
Best Feature: Nate Dogg ('Till I Collapse)
