Pretty awesome tracks especially dumb it down. If you really want to listen to positive raps I suggest you check out Lil B. I'll get you started with the most positive rap song ever made-

Lyrical ability and ability to make a good track are two very different things. I will be surprised if he comes back from the grave and makes even a decent album. Even the bests fall off after a while. Look at Jay and Eminem's most recent albums, lmao.

Jay got obsessed with power and money,

Lupe will bounce back, trust me, the dude has still got it, hes just waiting to finish is contract with Atlantic.

This! He was forced into todays mainstream garbage... Due to his record label forcing it upon him bitch bad etc. His response to control was the best imo and he is well aware people have forgotten about him. Hence is why he will make a come back.

He's lightweight Kanye-crazy

I was listening to Lasers and FL2 again today.. And I guess I get why some people say it's wack or corny. Gangsta/Hardcore rap just sounds so much stronger. His sometimes forced positive content, especially on Lasers, doesn't have the same feel.

That said, I still think there are some great songs on those two albums, let alone his first two. Those are classics imo.

Lasers doesn't really compare to his first two, but your right there are still some good tracks, his new one Tetsuo & Youth might be another one that takes on the Lasers route as its another one of atlantics productions.

Hasn't been the same since Lasers.

I drove past Lupe's childhood apartment 2 hours ago

Hasn't been the same since Lasers.

Lasers was his worst album, easily. I liked the album with Bitch Bad better than Lasers.

His response to control might be the only thing of his worth listening to. I've always found him corny and meh. Doesn't have a strong presence on the mic, nor do I find his lyrics anything special considering how much hes hyped for that. Hes no better than most.

What are you on about??? Have you listened to Put you on game?? Lupe is one of the best lyrical talents around

[CelticBaller]

Thought he died after this. Total MIA

Put you on the game, Hurt me soul and Intruder Alert are all three in my top 25 raps songs.

[ROCSteady]

Form Follows Function is the best track on Food & Liquor 2. One of the more upper echelon Lupe songs for true.
