You're like 20th person to praise this Joey Bada$$ dude. Ab-Soul brought him out at the Kendrick Lamar concert last Saturday...was feeling it.

Gotta give 1999 a listen. The reviews are glowing and they're always coming from people whose taste in music I respect.

if you fukk with nas and lu that tape will be right up your alley

another young gawd in the making

Lu said the album would get better with each listen

He wasn't lying :wow::wow:




Getting into a deep analytical phase about the album wouldn't do it justice to be honest
Even after listening to Lupe all these years, you'll still find hidden gems and meanings in every song he writes

I'll be sure to spam Tweet him until he acknowledges me begging him to talk more about bytches, weed, hoes and haters on the hooks for the next one rather than having sympathy and empathy for the poor and the elderly(ital), uplifting blacks(audobon ballroom) and modern day mythological creatures(Lamborghini Angels).

Album needed more "deez neegaz kant hol me bak" to be honest.

Finished listening for the second time. At first it was a 8/10. Right now it goes to a 8.5/10.

Great album. 3rd potentially great album of the year after Killer Mike and Nas. Classic won't be mentioned until after at the very least a year to see how it holds.

Lupe is back. This is a bit of a slap in the face of us who doubted him after Lasers even though he himself told us not to take Lasers seriously.

The holy trinity of 2012 right now is Rap Music, Life is Good and F&L2. Kendrick has a shot to enter, that's it.

Album not aging well for ya'll? Thought that project was fukking great.

Dope album , i'll cop.

Don't like the hook on Ital , and not a big fan of heart donor.

Audubon Ballroom beat sounds like Maino "All the above"

Edit: Just Blaze produced All the Above , and Live your Life ? All those beats sound too similar.

What's your least favorite?

My favorites so far are Strange Fruition, ITAL, Brave Heart, Put Em Up and It's Hood Now. Loving Unforgivable Youth more and more after each listen, and Lambo Angels is a futuristic sounding banger.

Ion even know man. I have to let that shyt marinate a little more.

A lot of times I'll be kinda not feelin a beat then during the verses it goes harder. But Lupe spittin hot fire like Dylan on Chapelle skit, so ion even know man.
