Differentiating between albums and mixtapes in the 2010s when all mixtapes are just free albums? What is this? Why would you say DS2 when you could say 56 nights?

Its a good album.
Album of the year? Nah.

Documentary 2 is epic. TPAB had the best youngster in the game showing why he's the best. Beautiful album. Tetsuo is meh, pseudo-intellectual rap. I'll pass.
This is going to be one of my main points if @GoldenGlove wants to engage in the convo.
Lupe made an album that re engaged Lupe fans. Thats not what an AOTY is...
Lupe stans were thirsty to deify anything with any semblance of abstract, nerdy raps. They got it in abundance with Tetsuo. There's a thread on here where the threadstarter claims J. Cole stans are the most pretentious prick stans in the hip hop community. I highly disagree. Lupe stans got them beat. By a lot, imo. Check out that Tetsuo thread. Sh!t hilarious.
This oughta be good
This is true, but the lyrical overindulgence wasn't enough for most fans who praised the album. It's the beats, he actually gathered some good production and some dope hooks to back him up this time.
His lyrics wouldn't be worth a damn without them. Just look at Food & Liquor 2, which had easily digestible lyrics but for the most part suffered from bad choruses and bland instrumentals.
Even non-Lupe fans found appreciation in the musicality presented in the album. It's the same reason why Young Thug can get away with his left field delivery/struggle bars, because his sound is unique and the production is engaging. Trust, if T&Y wasn't a step up musically from the 2 albums before it then we wouldn't have a 200 page thread for it.

This is another debatable perspective.The beats were mostly meh to me
A lot of people immediately recognized the step up in production. Two of the most respected producers to come up in the last 5 years, Dahi & S1, did the bulk of the album. They got busy, in my opinion.
A lot of variation in the production, and different elements throughout the album. I like how he broke the album into sections, and each season represented in the album carries a different overall vibe/thematic soundscape. shyt is creative
