Lupe's not too popular. Not anymore. But he is one of the best lyricists and is completely underrated. He's the type of rapper that makes super thoughtful content meant to be dissected and decoded kind of like Aesop Rock. But only at his best, he has some not so great, dumbed down content that he claims the label made him do. But Food & Liquor, The Cool, Tetsuo & Youth and this album are all fantastic albums.
