[eg47]

Seriously this collaboration needs to happen -

Del The Funky Homosapien x Lupe Fiasco

get it done somebody.

 

[thejrob]

classic...i have no other words.
Could this month get any better?

 

[BaltimoreLove]

this cd wasnt classic...

it was a very solid cd...

def top 3 cd's that came out this year...

in comparison to food and liquor... its more rugged... i miss the smoothness of songs like kick push, i gotcha , sunshine , hurt me soul...
'

this cd is definitely darker... the coolest was an incredible song...

overall its worth a pick up...



but.. my vote for best cd of the year goes too... below the heaven by blue and exile

[poogibucker]

yeah the cool is a really good cd... i just like mellow smoother music which is why i choose below the heaven as the best cd of the year...

but you can make the argument for the cool being the best cd... its all a matter of opinion...

lyrics

there are some typos and from looking @ Hip Hop You Saved Me I think the clean version may have been used on some of them but they are pretty decent.

What are the bonus tracks??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit- Even though I dont believe in wikipedia they have "Blackout" as the only bonus track right now

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I've been hooked on The Die.

Well I heard/herd like _?_ cows
That all your enemies wanna shoot you down
They got AK-47s and a bunch of MAC-11s
Semiautomatic weapons that produce kapows
Word on the street is they all got heaters
They gon' hit you up, you ain't even gonna see it
You got a lot of money, I ain't tryin' to be funny
But they say where you're goin' you ain't even gon' need it

[mrshoeman]

ok so i've been doing alot of research on lupe and trying to translate all of his songs and i have most of it. in the song "The Cool" hes talkingabout the dude yes but he also says "...chasing the cool." knowing lupe, i think he is talking about someone chasing the person cool. who though?another hint for his 3rd album?! or im just buggin.

 

[seven30]

I just copped at Circuit City and there's extra footage on the CD. I don't know if the Best Buy version has different footage or not.

 

[skips kicks]

Album is modern masterwork......
