Lupe hates Lasers

Lupe Lupe Lupe...one of the greatest rappers/lyricists of all time just released his third album. And the crowd goes...wild?? Not quite. A lot of people are not quite satisfied, and some feel that in comparison to the mic-raping that Lupe has done in the past, this album wreaks of mediocrity when compared to his past work. Check out the link above from Complex. It shines a light on some of the background workings of Atlantic and how Lupe didn't really put anywhere near as much of a personal touch on this album as he did on The Cool, or on Food and Liquor. He recently tweeted a song that is not on Lasers. When downloading this song, you see that it is tagged as part of an album labeled 'Food And Liquor 2.' So, I guess I'll be waiting for that then...Lasers is not in rotation at all. 'Words I Never Said' is probably the only song that I actually mess with, in real life. Hopefully, if 'F&L2' is the next album he puts out, it will make up for this one. I can see him redeeming himself, Lupe admits that he hates this album, or at least the process of it more so than the music. Hopefully his next album will do for him what Recovery did for Eminem after Relapse was a #epicfail.
