^^^ maybe its just me but Lupe's shit beats anything Kanye's got :unsure:

anyway,
i thought the album was great. most the beats gave it a darker tone which made it really enjoyable to me. lyrics are top notch. alot of the tracks stand out to me (i.e. "Dumb It Down", "Little Weapon", Gotta Eat", etc...), but even the ones that don't are pretty dope. definately gonna be buyin this one :y:

^ yea I agree any Lupe stuff beats Kanye's.

Anyways, the album's amazing; prolly the best album of the year for me. The lyrics are very deep, and the album has a lot of different styles, and the beats are good and diverse too. When I first listened to it it sounded kinda weird but after 2-3 listens I was completely taken by it.

Btw if you listen to Gotta Eat carefully you'll notice the whole song revolves around a hamburger (he gives it another personality to make it be like a normal human. Very smart. :y:

Best tracks:

Hip-Hop Saved My Life
Intruder Alert
Gotta Eat
Little Weapon
Put You On Game
Streets On Fire
Superstar
The Coolest
Gold Watch
Dumb It Down
"Hard hearted beast with a jaw full of meat
Engulfed in a feast while you starve at his feet
He toss you the least little portion of a piece
To the floor and expect you to rejoice when you eat" - Brother Ali

Some are really good, and some are not, and that's too bad, because I think Lupe could make good tracks only :p why not putting out those less good tracks on mixtape?
over-all I like the album though :)

ie: first part of intruder alert sounds like chingy's 'pullin me back'
