This idea of this thread is dope and I commend those who can sit and type out a whole damn review. I honestly do not have the desire to do that shit without being brief and to the point.

Oh yeh and @KamPushMe let go of Kendrick's nuts already. You stay stressed over someone elses opinion of that man and his music.

Lol this nigga mad he's neck and neck with Rosenberg for K.Dot nut hugger of the year. She's wackin every post that slightly critiCizes the album. The difference btw me & you is I can articulate my opinion on Lupe Vs the field beyond simple and personal driven analysis. The homie said "For Sale" is a skippable track TO HIM... & you threw your skirt up as if he isn't entitled to his opinion that he clearly backed up. Foh little

What was the FHD, B4. and T&Y scores?
jazzybella;7903182 said:
However you want. Just 130 words.
IceBergTaylor;7903364 said:
It's really not that much. Just give an album or single a score and back it up with a paragraph. I'm sure you've given 130 words of your thoughts on the album in the official thread. Maybe you can start with the next single review, only a 70 word minimum for singles.
Listencloser;7904304 said:
B4 and T&Y didn't get enough reviews to have a score (1 and 0). FHD ended at an 82.
Scoreboard is the 2nd post of this thread:http://community.allhiphop.com/discussion/comment/7588505/#Comment_7588505

lol I'm dragging down the fuck out of that TPAB score.
Is the B4 and T&Y closed? I'm sure we can get 5 reviews a piece. Reopen that thread a few days. I was lazy and didn't realize it had to be 130 words and I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

Lupe Fiasco Tetsuo & Youth review
1) Summer
Violin crescendo with children playing around water in the background. Clears your mind for the bomb that is about to be dropped on track 2.
2) Mural
One of the most mind blowing songs since Nas One Mic. Dope lines that serve as brush strokes of a painting.
Standout lines:
"Rewrite history, liberty needs a better bell
Maybe harder irons and carbon fibers that never fail
Smarter science mixed with a odd alliance of fairy tale
Or maybe just a metal pail you hit with steel tools
To announce that you've had enough and dropping out of SEAL school"
10/10
3) Blur My Hands (ft. Guy Sebastian)
Biggest single potential. The bass line dances across the guitar riff perfect. The song pretty much says "Fuck me? Okay, fuck you too." perfect for when you are stuck in traffic or getting leaned on by a boss or client.
8/10
4) Dots & Lines
Originally didn't l like the banjo intro but my 3 year-old loves it and will wildout if I don't bump it every car trip. He is explaining what he has learned from with label expirience and how he has found peace with his art. A very Buddhist theme. Standout lines:
"To make gold from garbage is not the alchemical point of this math
But truth be told it's the pursuit of gold that turns the goals of men into trash"
10/10
5) Fall
Very Nior Jazz
6) Prisoner 1 & 2 (ft. Ayesha Jaco)
These two songs are just heavy. In the future there will be a thread dedicated to discussing this track alone. "LOVE is Looking Over Various Errors", "I just wanna be collected, when I call goddamn." Prisoner 2 he spits with passion which is missing from many of his previous albums.
10/10
7) Body Of Work (ft. Troi & Terrace Martin)
Smoothest song on the album. very abstract lyrics but the imagery is strong and ties in to theme of the human body
Favorite line:
"Adapt in each rubric. Kubrick in plot and tone"
10/10
8) Little Death (ft. Nikki Jean)
Flawless Jazz shit.
"Where recognition went unnoticed
And then solidified till it was stoic
We should've been poets
Somewhere between amateurs and grandmasters of iambic pentameters"
10/10
9) No Scratches (ft. Nikki Jean)
Whining guitar riff. One of the greatest hooks of all time:
"At first I had patience
But then that patience turned to waiting
And then that waiting turned to wasting my time, my time, my time
And then that wasting turned to hating
And then that hating got to racing
All around my mind, my mind, my mind
So before we hit a wall, heartbreak and it crashes
Just walk away no scratches"
10/10
10) Winter
Chaotic strings sound like being caught out in a blizzard
11) Chopper (ft. Billy Blue, Buk Of Psychodrama, Trouble, Trae Tha Truth, Fam-Lay & Glasses Malone)
Everyone brought their A game but Fam-Lay. Ghetto shit to an absurd degree.
Too many quotables but:
"Got the same setup as the SWATs, nigga
Shouldn’t find that surprising
Cause I bought the muthafucka from a cop"
9/10
12) Deliver
Displays the consequences of mentality displayed in Chopper:
"Is it cause they're selling nicks out there all day
Cause a prostitute sucking dick in the hallway
Little Caesar's never sending pizza out y'all way
Papa Johns never get delivered where y'all stayed
The ghetto was a physical manifestation
Of hate in a place where ethnicity determines your placement
A place that defines your station
Remind you niggas your place is the basement
White people in the attic
Niggas selling dope, White people is the addicts"
10/10
13) Madonna (And Other Mothers In The Hood) (ft. Nikki Jean)
Compares the plight of single mothers in the hood to the life of Mary and their sons as Jesus. The public appointed lawyer is Judas and his peers are the crooks that are persecuted and crucified besides Jesus. Police are the Romans.
"White T on they shoulders
What drags em off through the streets
In the whip wit' they soldiers
Stations of the police"
10/10
14) Adoration Of The Magi (ft. Crystal Torres)
"Master cleanse and a syringe
From a gerber until your first burger
Pamper to a depends
Everything between is just draws"
10/10
15) They.Resurrect.Over.New (ft. Ab-Soul & Troi)
This is why Ab-Soul is the best on TDE and Lupe Fiasco still outshines.
"Tony found the fountain of youth, in the mountain of powder
To only find truth in the fountain, drowning in power
Surrounded with dollars"
10/10
16) Spring
Clears your mind from the experience of the total album. Now play the track list in reverse!
Album Themes and cohesiveness
10/10
Favorite track:
Keeps changing daily
Least favorite:
Blur My Hands and Chopper used to get skipped but I have a new appreciation now.
Total Score:
9.8/10
3 months later and I bump this like its brand new. Haven't done that since Stillmatic.
