This is that soulful lyrical piff. How can anyone hate this?
Cats don't listen to music like that, but THIS is our generation/people's version of In The City by The Eagles or Living for the City by Stevie Wonder.
Food and Liquor Advance not being dropped was a pivotal point for hip hop culture. Everything would have been different had the shyt come out without leaking.

yeah, you can see the difference in... it's like Night and Day. The version of the album and Lupe before and the version of Lupe after and the album we got.
It really is/was like the flip of a lightswitch.

It's crazy because American Terrorist isn't on the advance and that song was piff and arguably the best song from F&L. Crazy. Lupe is a legend.

It's a problem that the majority of these songs came out like seven or more years ago
Ghetto Story is still
can you imagine an artist with the mixtape buzz Lupe had at the time
dropping an album with American Terrorist, Ghetto Story, Glory, Themesong to a Driveby, Spazz Out, Pressure, etc on it?
Think about that for a second. They would have straight put the crown on dude. Third coming of Rakim, Second coming of Nas type shyt.

Do u have a link to the advance? I only heard the official album cause I bought it. Between his early mixtapes up to that good Friday leak with CRS was his peak. He went so left field til he fell off the axis lol. I wish Lupe could get back to that mindset.
sorry, I don't have it anymore.
