Tetsuo & Youth Review
1. Summer - Really nice subtle interlude, definitely prepares you for whats coming next.
2. Mural - Mind BLOWING!! I said very early in this thread during the leak that this was the hardest Lupe track I ever heard. The craziest display of lyricism I've ever heard & this is coming from someone who is a huge Nas, Jay, Raekwon, & Biggie fan. To quote Breezy Kilroy
Standout lines "
I run the Gambit like I'm throwing cards
From popular mechanics to overdosing hearts
Paint cold pictures like Nova Scotia landscapes
Nerd game make Mandelbrot sets when we handshake
A word game back up plan that can dam lakes
Backup the wordplay playing at the man's states
Means I can still be the man if the dam breaks"
10/10
3. Blur My Hands- Def should be a single. The production here is really strong, love the message behind the song and how he masked it. 8/10
4. Dots & Lines - I wasnt too big on this at first but when I really listened to what he was saying I was in awe, on a major label album. "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 goal of men into trash
The soul's gold and they turning gold into cash" Heavy shit... 9/10
5. Fall - I actually love this seasonal interlude the most. Nice tune.
6. Prisoner 1 & 2 - Wow! The whole story of the inmate vs the CO and how it parallels to his label situation and also gives a different perspective on the whole prison system. This is arguably one of his greatest accomplishments musically and artistically. The interlude in btw with his sister and the build up music? A1. 10/10
7. Body of Work - Low key my favorite joint off the album. I love how he portrayed hip-hop as a woman who ppl have smuggled drugs, money and other ills that have been ravaged into the culture of hip-hop (Anatomy will be the death of me) Fuckin ill 10/10
8. Little Death - Those three verses were tough. 2nd verse might be my favorite and speaks to how the country is feeding people food that is knowingly bad for you and your health. Crazy is how at this moment I'm learning to clean up my eating habits. Its just relatable at this moment. 8/10
9. No Scratches - Lupe's take on a broken relationship. This is grown man Lupe right here. I like how both him and Nikki Jean did the chorus here. 7/10
10. Winter - The build up happening in this interlude is very well done.
11. Chopper - at 9 minutes long its incredibly daunting. Everyone brought but Lupe truly took this by the horns. "Look at ghosts in the face as I cried, no Wu-Tang Just Lu gang when I ride." Reference to when he cried durin that Sway interview. Wow 8/10
12. Deliver- Peace of Man dont come here no more. Nuff said. Arguably the most accessible track on the album as well."White folks act like they ain't show us how to traffic
All that dope to China, you don't call that trappin'?
Breaking Bad, learned that from a TV
So don't say it's politics when you see me" 10/10
13. Madonna - The 2nd hardest track on the album and the parallels btw the passion of Christ & a black youth. Only Lupe would come up with something so vivid as this. 2nd verse on here gives me the same feeling I got when I first heard "Put You On Game" 10/10
14. Adoration of the Magi - 3rd verse. Period. 9/10
15. TRON - Out loud, this is my favorite track. Lupe blacked out on this track. The Scarface reference, the "Don't Ruin Us God Said, Drogas" line... this was pure creativity on 100. I love this track, everything about it. Soulo featured included those dudes were made to do this song. 10/10
16. Spring - Depressing cause it solidifies the end of this album.
Favorite Track: Tie btw Tron & Body of Work
Least Favorite: No Scratches
Total Score: 9.7/10

Gonna let the Kendrick reviews rock for another 9 days. Next week I'm thinking starting Action Bronson and Wale.
I wanna do a single review too. If something good drops within the next week or 2 or if someone has something recent in mind they think should be up for review, let me know.

You would think those so called rich trap rappers would take notes and watch how lupe and Kendrick make this paper.

niggas just skipped over the krit or big sean or luda review. lets not just leave this shit to certain ic darlings. and i think it should be something like 10 reviews needed to count, just encourage more postin or take reviews outta the album thread. 3 people stanning/lovin the lupe album got the score lookin like its the best album in the history of albums, hard to take serious.

So basically our review is "hard to take serious" and less credible because we're fans who sat with the album for bout 3 months and analyzed it the way a review should be? Because other than that fact your critique of our review seems like hatin. Like, it was cool when Kendrick's rating was sky high, wasnt it? Just wondering. Keep in mind the difference btw the Lupe reviews and the timing of the Kendrick reviews. But I dont see you saying you cant take those ppl seriously. I'm just making observation. I already know you're not big on Lupe... does that mean I can say the same "its hard to take serious" idea towards your post?
and Lol at @KamPushMe I swear that nigga is a bitch. If everyone isnt in agreement Kendrick isnt the man he's gonna be mad about it

You not trying to read it cause you flew in here mad as hell nobody reviewed the Krit, a man you're an admitted dickrider for. Fair enough. You're right, it should be the same for every album. But thats not my prerogative, nor is it my prerogative you felt I wasnt being objective. If you want me to review the Big Sean I can do that, you probably will be mad about that as well, so in reality whats your point? Did you review the Big Sean?

bruhhh...
why do yall fuck ass bitches do this shit. come n get mad at me for some shit i aint even said! bleedin pussy ass niggas mane. u think i felt u werent being objective, nigga i dont even know what u said foh
im not mad, id like to see a review for a lot of artists. and if u can find me saying im a krit stan or dickrider anywhere on here ill ask to be banned.
nigga i dont care about YOU being objective, this aint about you. u a fuckin wiz khalifa stan whenever u spit out lupe dick n/h, i dont take u seriously regardless. i was talkin about the thread as a whole only covering artists like cole, kendrick and lupe, thread might be better with reviews on more albums that drop, not just the ic darlings of the moment.
and i dont mind droppin short reviews like i do at times in the album threads. i cant for the life of me understand why u took that post of all posts personally, u need a father figure. n stop fuckin cryin over reactions.

typical, no proper rebuttal or point so to save face u say im angry. then u continue to miss the point. hell i aint even think dark sky paradise was GREAT. im just sayin reviewin the same 4 artists aint da bidness. but somehow since lupe's score is used as an example instead of kendricks(it could have easily been the other way around), u think im insulting u for some posts i havent even read lol. and i hate to use sales as an argument but u sayin nobody give a fuck about an album that sold much more than lupe's. i think somebody gave a fuck just sayin u pussy ass yankee

My nigga, you followed up my post talkin literally about nothing, bringing up irrelevant shit and doing your more of the same lame jokes. I asked you straight up questions which instead of answering you lashed out. And now you've resorted to talking about sales in a MUSIC REVIEW thread. You taking credit over nothing. You are a retarded ass bama that got up in arms that nobody cared enough to review Dark Sky Paradise and the Krit apparently, deal with it. Either follow up my original post with something of substance or stfu & stop whining and derailing the thread.
