Might take a break because it feels like there's new drama every other day. I see why so many people retired.

I haven't fully decided though.

It's been a low point in my life but this shit helped me but there had to be more drama.

I understand the reason this started but I just can't with this anymore..

Album review #20

After IGOR you wouldn't expect Tyler to come back with an album as great as this one is. By no means is this IGOR, but it is still a great project.

IGOR strived in being unique, but this album strives in being a bit of a back to basics project with it being a more traditional rap album, which is both its strong suit and its problem. Tyler just isn't as good at rapping as he is at producing or constructing a concept. Considering the fact Tyler isn't the best at rapping, he does still have a lot of engaging performances here. The production does still carry, but he has a lot of memorable one-liners and some of his most lyrical verses on songs like MASSA.

Though CORSO isn't the first track, it is the opener to me as it presents themes that make up the album like the bravado or the rich luxurious aesthetic/production and the relationship Tyler was in.

The third wheel story really isn't prevalent. For whatever reason Tyler must've decided not to prioritize storytelling on this album. The two tracks that do focus on it are phenomenal though. The highlight of the album is SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE. The production is heavenly for both beats and Tyler's singing, rapping, and storytelling is great. For a somber story, the vibes are immaculate. If it wasn't for RUN IT UP Tyler would've gone on an insane 4 song run with HOT WIND BLOWS, MASSA, MANIFESTO, and this song.

Tyler reflecting on his early music on MASSA and MANIFESTO is something I really remember fondly on this album. MASSA is some of the best storytelling of Tyler's career. The “I don't come from money, they deny it since I don't mirror the stereotypical products of my environment” line really stuck with me, I always remember it whenever someone mentions this song or the album. MANIFESTO is also really memorable, definitely not as good as MASSA objectively speaking but I prefer it for its peak beat but most of all the immaculate Domo Genesis feature.

Overall I feel like this album does what it's trying to do very well. It sounds like a perfect cross between his rapping and his melodic production and it has some of Tyler's highest highs. Really grew on me. I'm feeling a strong 8/10 on this thing.

I'll personally pay for all 189 voters' ear surgery so they stop sleeping on Lupe 🤩

My goat does not deserve this

I can see an argument for SAMIDOT but Mural >>> DIAND and C.R.E.A.M

I just realized I haven't made the Fiasco Friday post
FIASCO FRIDAY
POST A LUPE FIASCO APPRECIATION POST


Here are my vinyls of my glorious king 🤩

Samurai is by far the best listening experience here
because it's a perfect length for a front to back listen on vinyl + the chill vibes on this record are a phenomenal mood
