Though it clocks in at just over 22 minutes long, Lupe Fiasco’s Enemy of the State: A Love Story, proves that the Chicago MC has returned from his self- imposed hiatus—this is his first release since 2007’s sophomore effort, The Cool—with a renewed confidence...

Thought the review was going to be a bit longer.. lol Its all good.
ReplyDeleteAnd Friend of the State will be even greater, my friends.
ReplyDeleteEnemy of the State: A Love Story is just a taste of what this dude has in store for us. [PURE GENIUS]. His next album is pretty much guaranteed success, and I expect nothing less than!
ReplyDeleteI've watched Lu grow over the past few years and he's gotten REALLL beastly, to say the least.
He's amazing to watch, and such a beautiful creature!
:)
I'm mad excited for what's next to come!
:DDD
ALL LOVE,
xoxo
I think Lupe Needs some solid collaborations with some high profile rappers, and singers.
ReplyDeleteLet's face it... another swagger like us with Lupe and 2-3 other guys would sell him to the masses

That was one of the worst "articles" I have ever read on a website that is suppose to be professional. So much hate, ignorance, and racism mixed into one. Awful.
Thanks for the update Sean, but I must admit, this review sucked, for real. It wasn't even a review; the writer pretty much just said it was a great mixtape and mentioned a few tracks, and then quoted Lupe 1 or twice. That's it. It was also too short, definitely showing that no analysis was made in there.
ReplyDeleteNow, I don't want the writer to praise Lupe for the tape, or say that he's the future of Hip-Hop (Which I do think so, but only 'cuase I'm a fan), but if this is considered a review from a professional magazine, then something is wrong.
ahhhh they hated on the last verse of popular demand?!?!?!?! thats like my favorite verse on the whole mixtape. underwhelming? did that guy even listen to wat lupe said??
ReplyDeleteWERD. That's like my favorite track, it was too dope... he couldn't have listened, he just "heard" it.
ReplyDeleteoh my! wat a great review.so happy others are seeing how much of a beast Lupe is.
ReplyDeletefn' awesome
It seems like Lupe didn't like the P.D. beat as much as the other ones...
ReplyDelete"Wind it down but..."
^^ Like he isn't as hyped anymore.
"Do this for the block and the blogosphere..."
^^ He did it for the fans.
Still dope nonetheless. =P
AGH!?! wtf seriously a L for originality, so when Gucci talks about crack and trappin' thats 'ORIGINAL' ok. I fxckin' hate some of the XXL bloggers.
