Food and Liquor 2 and the proceeding albums after that tanked commercially because of Lasers giving him a bad rap.
hell, you can even find comments here. “I stopped listening to Lupe after Lasers”
Those albums tanked commercially because they didn't have hits and then he went and used the same sample as one of the most beloved Hip Hop songs ever (T.R.O.Y) for the first single off Food & Liquor II. I actually thought the song and album were dope, but he got a lot of flack for that single.
