iTunes Review
Don’t be fooled by the goofy retro futurism of the album cover, which shoots for a Bambaataa aping electro cool but winds up looking more like a Gap ad gone horribly awry, Lupe Fiasco is neither a po-faced classicist nor a Beans inspired ‘80s revisionist. Instead, Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor provides an album's worth of grandiose, soul steeped beats and skillfully elliptical lyrical virtuosity. Those looking for more of the breathless, Escobar inspired flow that won Fiasco a key spot on Kanye’s storming “Touch the Sky” will not be disappointed. And though Fiasco occasionally reverts to awkward platitudes, for the most part he remains as lyrically inventive as he is technically gifted. Fiasco is equally capable of delivering incisive political observations (“American Terrorist”) and scabrous commentary on the state of the Hip-Hop nation, but Lupe is at his best when spitting boy’s eye view coming of age narratives that blend the expansive ambitions of adolescence with the gritty texture of everyday life.
Customer Reviews
Best album I've heard in a LONG time
Lupe Fiasco is definitely steering hip-hop in the right direction. I'm not saying rap is dead, but it could definitely be a lot better. Lupe made, in my opinion, the best rap album since 1998 (OutKast's Aquemini, an underrated album by the way). This is definitely about as close to a perfect album as you can get. Lupe is a real rapper. I'm telling you if Lupe, Kanye, Andre 3000, and Nas got together on a rap album they'd create the album that would save rap from the grave that's not too far away. Lupe has just cemented his place in rap right now. Food & Liquor is a classic. My Top 5 Songs (i love them all): 1. The Instrumental 2. Kick, Push 3. Daydreamin' 4. I Gotcha 5. He Say She Say Buy this album. It's worth way more than the $10 iTunes asks for.
Old School Rap makin a comeback!
Lupe Fiasco is amazing. He is the new kid on the block and he is bringing Old School Rap back! This guy is amazing...no swearing and his songs have stories behind them. Words cannot describe Lupe's talent. BUY THIS ALBUM! You will not regret it!
I didn't know what to expect...
I know it's tough after some heavy singles to have a whole album that pleases; particularly from a debut artist. and i'm a hater. This album is ridiculous. a VERY strong debut from a talented brother with conscious lyricism (aight now i know people hate that term, including myself, but it perfectly would describe lyrics that are alive, and awake, as opposed to be seemingly in a daze, lemming-like following whatever the current $$ making trend is) If i had to liken it to anyone else out in the mainstream it def would be kanye--the cat who's kinda on his own thing, but to his credit, lyrically lupe takes it a step further--he seems not to care about "cool points" (although props to kanye for calling his own self-consciousness out!) and goes for his, on all sorts of topics, from fatherless children to (of course) the loner skaters, to political and some spiritual talk (i *think* he's coming from an HTM bent). That stuff that most human beings can relate to. I don't throw on an album, being the in debt human being dealing with wife and kids and peer pressure (yeah as a grown man too) to hear some cat talk about how much they have. I want to hear a cat that sound like they are with me in the struggle. This is one of those cats. And i didn't even mention that the production is top notch, and, while being predominately catchy, doesn't follow the norm. It's cleanly produced without being cookie cutter. Just what you would be expecting after hearing the singles (although perhaps not sure if it could be done). I mean it is ridiculous. Just listen to the samples. I've had a chance to listen to this album several, several times over the past few days, playing it out at shows etc. I was rolling with my boy and he mentioned something that made me rethink a 5 star, and so i'm bumping to 4.5 -- on several tracks, his flow is VERY MUCH like that of jay-z...now granted, jay-z sounded a bit like jaz-o back in the day and he then came into his own...so Lupe definitely will, as long as he doesn't get chewed & spit out by The Game, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he has very dope lyrics... choice tracks: He Say She Say (EXCELLENT track about a fatherless boy, well executed), "I Gotcha" (of course:), "Kick Push" (of course), and one of the best hip hop tracks to come out in a long time period, "Just Might Be O.K.".
