* Rap is not my thing
Don’t like rap/hip hop
Nothing kills an album more than starting off with generic hackneyed poetry with the same cadence and quality you get from a college poetry slam competition.
Vilket jävla fiasko av Fiasco.
Does nothing for me at all.
So much hip hop looks and sounds alike.
formulaic, and obvious
Не самый неприятный хип-хоп, но не более того. 2 из 10.
Extremely weak pop rap. 1 star.
Another 70 minute rap album and I couldn't handle this one. I have limited time so once I knew if I liked (mainly disliked) a track, I just skipped it halfway through. It's rap music. I very highly doubt it was going to kick into gear with a time signature change, a guitar solo or cool breakdown. The only things I can pick out that I enjoyed are the track with Jay-Z called 'Pressure' which had a cool beat and the second track 'Real' which had an electric guitar riff as a beat that I really enjoyed. Other than that, there's literally nothing I would come back to, sorry.
Hip-Hop. Noping out .... 1/5
Han borde hålla sig till Street Fighter.
This is pop rap trash
No va
Not for me
Hip hop its a american dog shit only relevant to americans, for the rest of the world this is rubbish!
No. Sampled it. Good production, very busy sounding, lyrically empty- lots of bragging. Not interested.
Never heard of him and I’m ok with that.
Continuamos com estilos musicais que não são do meu agrado. Nem me dei ao trabalho de o ouvir.
Did not care for this at all. Tiring, and wanted it to end after every song.
God damn I forgot how much I hated Lupe Fiasco in high school. It’s somehow maximalist and low effort at the same time.
Nah
Sorry, but... No. Just so generic.
I’m not listening to this
Meh
Didn't listen to the whole album which sums it up for me really.
This is seriously boring, 1 star or F for me.
Not my cup of tea at all
that was a FiASSco
Ughhhhhh. Even the album cover brings to mind what I believe to be the second worst type of rap. Spacey mid-2000’s rap that’s all melodic and sensitive makes me want to jump off a bridge. How about 72 minutes of it???? I really don’t know how this will sound, but in my imagination, I’m going to be miserable for the next hour or so. Let this fiasco begin. Whelp. This blows. That beat is one of the most abhorrent things I’ve ever heard. Bombastic and gross with a weak delivery. This is so incredibly dull. It’s like being rocked to sleep by a demonic horror. You feel weary and fatigued, but you know if you concede to the sleep you will be gnashed by the millions of jagged teeth in the cosmic maw of an unknown entity. Moving swiftly on. UGH. Stop saying “Food & Liquor.” It’s not the cool title you think it is. Again, this type of beat is horrendous. It’s so tinny and shallow. It focuses on the horns or whatever those are rather than, you know, the rhythm? Anyway. This mixed with the lyrical miracle rap and the lame ass R & B vocals tops off another stinker. Way to go Lupe. This had to be in Fight Night Champion. I can at least hear the drums on this one. Not the worst track so far, but it’s still the garbage I hate. Everything is just so squeaky clean and therefore extremely dull. The best song so far meaning the least painful instrument of torture. That accordion stab is boneheaded. Ooh is this that classic Owl City Evanescence crossover. 80% power 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name. Who cares. This song actually made me laugh. 1000% pain and a 1000000% reason to skip it. Whoa. We’re getting meaningful. Every album like this has a song like this and they all suck. It’s ham-fisted sentimentality. It hasn’t been said in a while, but these lyrics stink. I’ve jotted down more interesting ideas in my notes app at the age of 17. That is not a compliment to me, but an insult of the highest order to Lupe, if that is his real name. He’s got such a boring delivery good god. This is a guy you see post videos on Christian TikTok or something. The sample is not the worst thing I’ve ever heard, but the female vocals over it are so cheesy, it ruins it. I get that he’s making fun of other rappers, but man, you should be making fun of guys whose main musical influence is Common (you). He swore!! Whoa guys. Lupe is letting his hair down. He wouldn’t say “bitch” when listening to Too Short? My dude. Don’t say that. Yes, misogyny is bad, full stop. Don’t even invoke the name of these people though. Too Short is so tongue in cheek. Anyway. I’m not going to get into an argument about lyrical themes with a guy who says “what constitutes a prostitute.” He’s just doing lyrical miracle spherical, imperial stuff. Oh buddy. The eagle screech and Jay-Z. Guess which one of those things I don’t like. It’s Jay-Z. Another key holder of the death of hip-hop from 2000-infinity. At least we have some saviours now. Lupe Fiasco is so lame and Jay-Z is dumb as hell. Is there even a kick drum in this? It’s so light. The production stinks. Big Matthew Santos feature for all you Mariachi heads out there. Or fans of white guys from Minneapolis who sing Spanish music. Whichever. I prefer “American Terroristt” by RxKNephew. At least there I learned something. The Emperor’s Soundtrack is the song I would play to detail every aspect of this genre that I absolutely despise. SOFT vocal delivery, boring beat, bright production. If it could be a single that plays over the Fast and Furious end credits, it’s probably not good. More overused tropes from spiritual rap. It’s just noise at this point. And not in a subversive or interesting way. Listen to “Black on Both Sides” and get what this trying to be with actual life delivered by a capable performer. I’m glad he’s reading names so we know who to hold accountable for this stinker. I’m looking at you DJ Chop. This is 12 minutes??? Lupe Fiasco mentions every person who has ever lived. Shoutout to HypeBeast.com. I would rather hear my name come up in a wartime draft than be credited on this piece of trash. You know this bad boy was the soundtrack to some (white) nerd’s first week in New York and now I have to suffer, almost 20 years in the future. This is what Kanye West sounds like to me, and that is the worst insult I can think of. Fitting that the album cover features a millennial college student surrounded by relics of the early 2000’s while in the infinity of space. This album does sound like it’s being played from inside a space shuttle while my spacesuit ruptures, causing my frozen organs to seep out of my adrift body. Or whatever happens in space. “Food & Liquor” is soft, non-confrontational, and not nearly as meaningful as it purports itself to be. This was more than a fiasco, it was a full-blown disaster. Like a spaceship explosion. Silent, yet incredibly destructive. Somebody save the DS. My NintenDogs need kibble. 0.5 HIGHLIGHTS: WHOOSH
I have zero interest in listening to hip hop and sampling this did nothing to change my mind.
Sounds like glam hip hop. Like Lin-Manuel Miranda created a rap persona. Hot garbage
this was not good.
Wow. Holy cr… already looking at the cover art work (or lack of it), makes me wanna throw up..
Utter rubbish
Not for me
Hot garbage. Why is this even on the list? Pretty bland and unoriginal hiphop.
Really really really boring. Kick skate song was fun though.
poop fiasco more like
Didn't like this at all.
Ok, this was not as bad as I feared when it started. Partly ok, some nice samples, etc. Still it's a 1 for me, way too little to give a 2.
Ok, but nothing special here.
Not interested in anything on the menu.
p908. 2006. 1 star. Hip-hop/rap with strings and brass sections. Well done of its kind, but wrong audience. Will not listen to it again.
Sorry, didn't make it past the 3rd song. It's a no for me.
Juste non
Wow, this is a real pile of crap alright. How did it get made???
3.73 rym no
buh
This is very underwhelming. Don't really care for this.
Não levei a sério a capa, mas vamos lá.. É ruim? Não. Mas é um tipo de música que ficou extremamente datado e marcado do início ali de 2000. Não gosto muito hoje
Rap&Hip-Hop is definitvely not my taste.
I'm just not into this, at all
Really can't tolerate
un fiasco.
J'étais près à dire que c'est toujours un peu la même soupe, mais sans doute pas la pire, à tolérer les instrus supportables et à un mettre un tolérant 2. Mais c'était sans compter sur une outro ridicule de 12 minutes où il fait un bigup à tout le monde, qui il veut, je m'en fous. Quelle pitié. Donc sur le fil 1. Fallait pas pousser non plus.
Bufff....
Bugs me so much when the rapper seems to not be aware of the music or rhythm of the song...
i really really dislike rap
Rap has it’s place in the music world, but…
Lupe doet zijn naam eer aan en zou er goed aan doen zijn voornaam te veranderen in 'Fucking'!
Ik kan en wil hier niets mee.
I find this type of music unlistenable. Next
Not my style at all.
Mais um de rap.
Die Platte sollte 'Kanye rap and soundalike fiasco' heißen. Unnötig.
Not my jam
I have nothing to say
I just can't stand to listen to this, it's awful. I don't like rap and the more I hear of it, the less I like it.
Most of this album is really boring, especially the introduction. Some of the beats are okay, but really, who would buy this album?
It's OK to judge this album by its cover. Then you even have to bother listening.
I simply don't enjoy rap in general and Lupe Fiasco is no exception. I managed to listen to about half of the songs halfway through and the one and only thing I enjoyed were the samples on Daydreamin'. That just isn't enough.
All of the worst moments of my life summed up in a mix of shocking beats and lyrics. A disaster that leaps into your face as fast as a gang of nazis diving into your mum's gaping pussy.
