Cali Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 http://rope.foofighters.com/ 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Cali Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 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...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'm not uptight, but it was refreshing to hear clean rap lyrics. The album was pretty clever lyrically too I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
