Official**Lupe Fiasco's The Cool**Thread

[davidisgodly]

what i like is the well roundedness.
Starts off with a blast. ends with satisfaction.

i never liked albums with more than 12 songs. This is the exemption.


Oh, Btw. The Coolest is the best song on the album. The comes Fighters.

 

[born to be fly]

The more I listen to this album the more

it is. I'm so glad I went out and bought this on RD, man Lupe really wentin.
I wish he spit over the Free Chilly beat, but it's so mellow I still listen to it even though he's not on it.
I'm not feelin Paris, Tokyo that much and there are a lot of songs I'd put above it.
Fighters and Hip-Hop Saved My Life are just

the 2 best tracks on the LPIMO.
Hi Definition is

Go Go Gadget Flow

Streets On Fire

Little Weapon

Put You On Game

Intruder Alert

It kinda makes me sad how he reminds us that LupEND is gonna be his final album.
Album of the year in my eyes, such a solid album. Props to Lupe

.
Oh and btw I downloaded the Circuit City bonus track Blackout and it is

.

 

[eddiehouse5]

i just want to say that 'the die' is incredible.

'not so cool now, is you, n?' damn.

There were parts of this song that bugged the %!@# outta me for DAYS, cuz I also thought it sounded like someone...

I was ridin' around town, listening like, "Who the hell does he sound like?!"

Then, I realized who it was I, personally, had in mind... It's Big Boi from like the Southernplaya... days.

Especially on lines like "Ready to Walk It Out like UNK, in my John Lennon Chucks..."




Also, the Circuit City bonus track, "Blackout" is dooope.

Soundtrakk is so damn versatile.

@ him gettin' his Danja/Timbo on.

 

[dkd4life]

second favorite album this year. finding forever had been in my rotation forever.

 

[crank lucas]

i can go threw the whole album escept for the snoop track, its too snoopy for me lol
depends on my mood also but i most likely skip that track it feels like it belongs on snoops album

i was looking at my little booklet and you know how it somehow says life of lupe fiasco i was thinking that it was "life of jaco". so i went towikipedia(lord only knows how much of that crap was accurate) and found an artist named jaco pastorius.

and i know im reaching a whole lot but it did say

Pastorius was hospitalized for multiple facial fractures and gruesome disfigurement to his face, including the probable loss of his right eye and right arm




or maybe its just his last name?

[hoopstv2000]

IMO: Hottest track is "Free Chilly", too damn its not even a minute long..

 

[arhymingape12]

lol, well atleast i tried, but i think the jaco part is right

 

[pusha x vinsanity]

Jaco IS Lupe's last name, so it's not really reaching at all. Interesting find. I wonder if that's on purpose.

 

[young dr0]

i saw the life of fiasco. but never saw the jaco.

good !sh.

 

[cruthik3]

After listening to the first 6 tracks, my conclusion is that Lupe Fiasco still puts me to sleep.

 

[visualmusic]

It's not worth to argue with anyone who says this man sucks.

Then, I realized who it was I, personally, had in mind... It's Big Boi from like the Southernplaya... days.
Wow! Great catch, it's been killing me too.

This album is clearly album of the year. Lupe shined in every way possible. I can't stress how talented this man is. It has nothing to do with #..riding,dude really is THAT amazing.

Yeah, this man may have discovered something epic.


...Anyways, at one of his concerts, I heard that someone told him that Copies were straight flyin off of the shelves. Anyone know the amount he's soldalready?

 

[arhymingape12]

YES!!! this means i said something important on NT

 

[young dr0]

heard it's looking like 100-200k ... someone posted in here.

yeah. i think i saw he was estimated at like 163k

 

[mrmossyman84]

After listening to this album...I'm just amazed by the way he can tell a story. One of the best in the game by far. He's one of the few MC'sthat (at least to me) keep me involved in a story the whole time. Tracks like ''hip hop saved my life'', ''the coolest'', and''gotta eat'' just have me

Probably my favorite tracks (no order)

-Hip hop saved my life
-Paris, Tokyo (so smooth

)
-Go Go Gadget Flow
-Streets on Fire
-Gotta Eat

This whole album is defintely well put together, though. I'm very impressed by The Cool.

Other random thoughts:

-The way he ends 'Fighters' it makes it seems like he was pressured to make "Go Baby" by his label or something. I still like "GoBaby" though, something about it makes me start clapping and bouncing in my car like some stuff off of Andre 3000's "Idlewild" album

-Food references in Gotta Eat are crazy

-I can't wait til 5 years down the road and Lupe does something controversial, he is discussed on Fox News and they bring up lyrics from "LittleWeapon" to depict him being a gangster rapper with no morals or values

-He defintely could of made something epic with the "Free Chilly" beat, no doubt
-Is "Blackout" really that good? I don't want to spend another 10 bucks just for one track

-I still want "Ghetto Story" to end up on one of his albums...I feel like the whole needs to hear it, not just the mixtape population

I knew he was going to be here soon. Thanks for posting that. The Roxy has a nice personal setup. I wouldn't be suprised if he jumps in the crowd or something

I just found out I'm going to be in Atlanta that weekend (25th-27th) for the NHL all-star weekend stuff. I'm assuming the Roxy is all-ages right? Idon't think anything for the All-Star weekend is going on that day, me and my brother might have to get tickets to see Lupe. I doubt he's coming toBuffalo anytime soon so that would be a good opporotunity to see him

 

[jordanfanatic23]

It doesn't need to be siad anymore, but this album is amazing.

I can't realy say what my favorite song is but my favs are

Hip Hop Saved My Life
The Coolest
Intruder Alert
Streets On Fire
Gotta Eat

I coulda said the whole LP. Lupe def came w/ it on this one...this'll possibly be deemed a classic later on.

 

[jrellcuse10]

Jaco is hi last name

Wasalu Muhammad Jaco to be specific.

 

[clarkkent415]

Is it me or does Lupe's material have unlimited replay value?

I still play food and liquor and it sounds like I heard it the first time each time.

Damn I didn't know it was NHL all-star weekend. I'm pretty sure I'm going. I heard the Roxy is a nice venue. Just wish all tickets weren'tgeneral admission.

word ... i listen to all his tapes, both albums and misc verses and it's always like it's brand new ...
i played his Touch the Sky verse like 50times the other day ... you always catch something new ... or if you don't. It's so unlike anything else that's it's new to your ears. Dudereally is peerless.
