All my life, I've been listening to many Hip Hop and Rap artists: Lil Wayne, Eminem, Tupac, Immortal Technique, B.o.B. (Underground material), Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, etc etc etc. My list goes on forever. If I were to have a rating for the best album ever, Lupe Fiasco will be my absolute number one. He basically raps about the corruption that we face everyday and how stupid rap has become in general. His song "dumb it down" will explain everything related to that subject. He is an amazing lyricist and has excellent metaphors. Lupe's Album challenges you. That is whats missing in today's rap. Today's rap is only about the "artists" gettin' their "groove" on with some girls. I'm tired of listening to them boast about garbage like that. I miss the old days when rap was about the artists' life in the projects. Lupe has saved the meaning of rap once again.Read full review
I Bought the new Lupe Fiasco CD because I got hooked on the singles "superstar" and "go baby" because it seems like that's what half of the new cd's have is a couple singles w/ 10 filler songs in between. That wasn't the case with "The Cool." The CD is fire from start to finish right after the intro the first song is "Go Go Gadget Flow" my favorite song on the album. The Cool shows how versatile Lupe Fiasco really is he goes from a super fast flow on "Go Go Gadget Flow" to a slick-rick like commentary on "Paris,Tokyo" and "Hip-Hoip Saved My Life." All in all I really liked the album and I would highly recommend it.
This is a frickin great album! I like so many of the songs. My favorites are Gotta Eat, Fighters, Go Baby, and Go Go Gadget Flow. The entire album is really good though not just those few songs. Lupe is a skilled writer, rhymer, vocalist, and producer. I also have his Food and Liquor album which is excellent as well. Midwest represent!
With The recent purchase of Lupe Fiasco's sophomore disk,The Cool,Im glad to see thta he has not lost none of his nice,vinrant,nerd rap thta was heard on Food & Liquor.Many Songs On this c.d. were more darker than those on food &liquor.I still believe Lupe has not yet hit his prime and when he does...its a whole new voice thats gonna appear in the game! Fav Tracks: go gadget flow The Coolest superstar hi-definition paris.tokyo go baby put you on game
