Ummmmm maybe its because he ACTUALLY ANGRY homie isnt rapping it to sound educated he's rapping because you can tell he's thoroughly pissed off and frustrated with the direction that the world is going. and i dont blame hime

I think people got caught up in the fact that this wouldn't be like Lasers and because of it have rated it higher than it should be. Listened to it once and won't bother giving it another spin. Most of the album is skippable and its because of the content. Unlike F&L 1 and The Cool, Lupe was creative with his lyrics, but on this it just feels like he's preaching on a soapbox in the booth.

when i saw lupe live at college thats exactly when i stopped messing with him.
people came for a concert and he wouldn't shut the **** up. was talking for like 5 minutes in between every song about **** no one wanted to hear.
if all you're going to do is talk politics and social problems and not bring any entertainment, you'll eventually be tuned out. not that there isn't a time and place to say what needs to be said. i think he did it wonderfully well with bad *****.

Gotta give it a few more listens tho.

I usually HATE radio friendly songs, but I'm kinda diggin Battle Scars 
Cold War and Unforgivable Youth are pretty good too. Am I the only one not feeling Hood Now?
Form Follows Function is sooooooo
How Dare You is a complete left over from Lasers along with a few others

I think Unforgivable Youth is such an incredible song. I'm not sure how to explain the vibe from the beat but its and the lyrics are great.

So I just gave in and downloaded the album.
I am really feeling this album, it definitely has replay value and best believe it will be all I'm listening to for awhile.
Also I'm excited to pickup the album on Tuesday and the album signing with Wasulu in the flesh on Wednesday!

Have to agree, this is not F&L or The Cool, Lupe's jumped over the bridge. Although a much better album than Lasers I don't know if I like the direction Lupe's heading in. Too much preaching.

I finally grasped pretty much every world in this track and all I can say is wow
This song is just so good, the hook is a little poppy but other than that... the beat, the lyrics, the story, and the concept...

I sorta put my finger on the vibe of the song. The background vocals sound Native American which fits the lyrics of the song.
I think the reason why it works so well with me is cause it sounds like I'm going on a field trip in elementary school or something

Not sure if I wanna buy this. I'm sure it will be lyrically, but I'm not trying to hear him get all preachy.
Son's tweets lately have been annoying as hell.

Downloaded it....and its so far (7 songs in)....gonna buy it on iTunes tomorrow too, honestly this album and good kid in a m.A.A.d city are gonna be the only albums I'm gonna buy in the foreseeable future...such a breath of fresh air compared to Lasers, much less poppy and he still delivers lyrically (though I don't agree with some of his tangents its still excellent)
