Body of Work beat didn't grab your attention? Chopper? Adoration of the Magi? Madonna?

I mean, outside of a couple tracks, I wasn't feeling the production either. I respect the musicianship at work, but a lot of the beats came off cheesy to me.

I've really enjoyed reading the discussion around this album, though.

In my previous breakdown of the album I missed to include the beginning of third verse of Body of work.

Havnt seen anyone meantion it but the line: Sanskrit dance on the page of the dead book

Is about the Tibetan Book of the Dead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardo_Thodol
Which is about the place you go to between death and rebirth. I think Killah Priest mentioned reading this book in a interview done by someone here on The Coli.

Just another clue about the resurrection theme on the album. Also linked to the Buddhist culture.
When asked in the Skee interview about what Lupe wanted for the future. He even talked about wanting to be as a Buddhist monk and be able to just sit down without have the cravings that regular people have.
He also mentions Buddhism on arguable the most lyrical song of F&L 2, Form Follows Function. Seems like he is quite into Buddhism.

I have tried reading the Book, but lost it before I was able to finish it.
Quite a heavy read with a lot of "poetic" verses. Im thinking about buying it again, since I didnt have the chance of reading the most famous chapter.

i gotta revisit lasers. f&l2 was decent.

 

[Dizzle]

I've only listened to the first track. Holy fukk I was not expecting THIS Lupe.

Body of work did not, even on second listen. It's a cool beat - but it doesn't make you make the face like Little Death
Don't like the chopper beat at all, it's a shame as letting 25 random rappers rap on your album for 8 straight minutes is never a bad idea.
Madonna beat sounds like a bootleg Kanye beat on second listen.
Haven't got to adoration yet.
I did like dots and lines on second listen.
Not sure what an ear game over the top means.

I've been listening to Mural on repeat
