Lemme give you some shine in your thread tho @Billy Ocean 
The fact y'all are really sitting here arguing with these dudes is wild to me. Hit that ignore button or do like me and just scroll past the shyt.
The album is obviously masterful, appreciate it with the people who do.
Now most of y'all have been through a few spins, where do y'all tank it in his discography?
I need more spins but I think this is at worst his 4th A+ project and currently my second favorite.
I think objectively with more time this will surpass T&Y as his best work, which is my favorite album ever, so yeah lol.
I'll refrain for now, but my current ranking pre Drogas Wave
Tetsuo & Youth > The Cool > Food & Liquor > Food & Liquor 2 > Drogas Light > Lasers

Too early to rank Wave cuz you gotta sit with it. I remember F&L 2 coming out and me acting like it was Lupe’s best album to date strictly off the title generating hype
Born to death, born to die, mourn correct, immortalized
In a war, where your performance score is your salary
It's like fantasies combating your mortality
I'm just trying to restore sanities
Sigmund Freud boy, Leroy to your vanity
To instill what kills krill destroys manitee
So heels spill but still seal deals that build factories
What looks Roman senator inner reveals macabees
Never just trust off guts, but what's actually, unless it's quatos
Now, we back to pillars of salt, I recall back peeling potatoes
In hindsight, maybe a tank of killer tomatoes
A seasoned shoulder's carrying plenty pintos in payloads
Now, that's another strata but I was making sense
Then cop out, took the highway and I was making chips
A nappy-head Karate Kid, I was breaking bricks
Can fight like Tekken 5, even taking 6
This rehabilitation, I be taking trips
"Don't Ruin Us" God said, I won't make a dent

I don’t love all the songs but I don’t remember the last time I was so impressed by some of the ideas on here and how well they’re executed. WAV Files having the water, trees and stars apologizing for not stopping the slave trade and a verse of just slave ship names is just miles ahead of the competition in terms of creativity/execution and how these songs of slaves surviving under water transition to a song memorializing a drowned child is some shyt.
Doubt it will be appreciated by the masses bc most art rarely is and the music is not for everyone but I don’t know how you can’t respect the message, effort and thoughtfulness behind this shyt.

This is the best production hes ever had imo. Second half is like 8/10...up to hallie is a 13/10 product lol. Its perfect. If he had that... Xo, j forever, mural jr king nas only probs would have to give it the 5 mics. Right now the second half drags a bit becauase the first one is so absurd.
I got into on par with f n l and t n y. The highs of this higher than anything hes put out imo.
wow, just finished
album is
this man is a monster with the pen
I can't wait to take it in more next week

I have to listen to Wave more to properly rate it. I think it has a chance to surpass Testuo and Youth to get that 3rd spot. Maybe even higher. The album is really starting to grow on me.
