Haiku Reviews: Lupe Fiasco's "Food & Liquor II"
Slava P bought a tomb next to Howard Zinn after listening to this album.
Ayesha Says (Intro) Familiar qualms offered by poetic sis: like angry Wale.
Strange Fruition feat. Casey Benjamin White guilt overload over deconstructed strings and loose metaphors.
ITAL (Roses) Pedantic lectures: pseudo-intellectual rap-pleas & pander
Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free) Alternate title: How to lose fans and add name to Do Not Fly list
Audubon Ballroom A civil rights song about respecting yourself and shots for Gwenyth
Bitch Bad Bitch bad. Woman good. Message preached, not understood. Bang bang, 3 hunna
Lamborghini Angels Panicked words against institutions of power over hurried keys
Put Em Up Jumpy theme concepts on half decent production with dense similes
Heart Donor Artificial sweet melody with a bland beat and low-key preaching
How Dare You feat. Bilal The radio song with vibrator metaphors. Otherwise, hollow
Battle Scars Twisted love story or a war allegory. Either way, sub par
Brave Heart feat. Pooh Bear Horrible chorus, slightly better imagery + none-too-humblebrags
Form Follows Function Vintage Lu wordplay without all the preach and teach. Come back, Wasalu.
Cold War feat. Jane $$$ Haunting chimes filled with ethereal street content. Chorus ruins it.
Unforgivable Youth feat. Jason Evigan A compassion jam for the ancient lost people who now make CDs
Hood Now (Outro) A "tanning" end to the "Great American Rap". Fuck you, white people!
