WOW. I haven't enjoyed a Foo song like this since Colour and the Shape.

 

I hope it doesn't get my expectations up too high (like with every album since Colour and the Shape haha) most of their stuff since then has like 4 or 5 good songs and then filler (to me)

For anyone into their House / Dance Music, this site is very good for keeping up with that.

 

Just listening to the new Laidback Luke Essential Mix currently;

Have you hip-hop listeners heard of Shad? His album Tsol would've been near the top of my Soxtalk music list had I heard it sooner. I like the mellow beats and heavy use of scratching.

No but I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Hey, I'm sold already on the upcoming CD. Its back to the primal Dave and Taylor sounds, maybe that time with Homme and JPJ in Them Crooked Vultures has brought out the Dave of old.

It took some spins, but damn The People's Key is really f***ing good.

 

Highlights for me:

 

"Jejune Stars"

"Triple Spiral"

"Ladder Song"

"One for You, One for Me"

 

Still plenty of awesome albums coming out this year. I can't f***ing wait...

New Lupe album = awesome. Early album of the year candidate.

I don't think we've listened to the same album.

 

This isn't anywhere near Lupe's previous work. Not awesome. This is a hip-pop album.

I think it's good that he's mixing it up a bit. He used to get little to no exposure because his music didn't sound good enough. Not enough catchy hooks, beats aren't as addictive, etc. That's why there was that feud he had with Atlantic - they thought he was lame and didn't produce any mainstream music.

 

So he did what they told him to and IMO, it works. He still has his lyrics heavy songs - like Words I Never Said and All Black Everything, but at the same time, he has songs that will most likely attract a wider audience - like I Don't Wanna Care.

 

I think he could have done better, but given the circumstances of him being under pressure from the recording company to produce more mainstream friendly music, I think it's a very good album.

Finally got around to checking this out. Nice.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not uptight, but it was refreshing to hear clean rap lyrics. The album was pretty clever lyrically too I thought.

I've been listening to Chiddy Bang's The Preview over and over. Can't get enough.

Shaolin vs Wu Tang

Listening to the new Lupe CD.

 

It's not as good as The Cool, and it's clearly been inspired by Atlantic, but it's still better than 90% of the rap out there now.

Love me song Chiddy Bang.

Listening to the new Lupe CD.

My goodness. This is one of the worst rap albums I've listened to in my life and I've been listening to rap since 1983. I want that 60 minutes back. What a waste of talent.

Lol, that's quite dramatic. You must be a lil wayne fan.

I can't understate how awful the album is. And no, not a L'il Wayne fan.

They are good.

Face To Face is playing the Bottom Lounge on May 5th and I already know I can't go.

I am beyond disappointed. One of my favorite bands playing at that small and intimate of a room? That would be great.

Damnit.

If Lupe sucked, you wouldn't think of it that way. You only think this way because it was a let down and you had high expectations.

Lupe with another classic album. Man is amazing.
