Lupe Fiasco is a Genius!!! This Album is as Hip Hop as any other Album that will ever be released; It is a Classic among some of the Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All-Time such as Ready To Die, Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, The Chronic, Capital Punishment, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, and The Marshall Mathers LP; Lupe is the Best Rapper Alive in my opinion and no one in the Game can compare with him Lyrically or Intellectually.

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor is a classic hip-hop album. If you have any respect for the genre, you will love this album.
David H. gave it a9:
Its pretty incredible and immensely likable. The beats are just cracking and lupe is one of the best rappers out there. blending hip/hop and soul together to give an extraordinary atmosphere. The album is no masterpiece by any means, but the songs he say she say and sunshine (the best song on the album) are hip/hop soul classics, some of the best music i have ever heard in hip/hop. best songs- real, kick-push,he say she say, sunshine and pressure are in a league most artist will never reach in music!
Music Lover gave it a10:
This album was the best album of 2006, as far as hip-hop. Lupe was robbed of that Grammy. Subject matter & beats are all over the charts, which is what makes this album so lovable. Everybody can bob their head to at least one song. It's even got some spoken word going on at the beginning. I can't wait for The Cool to come out. Hopefully, it'll be just as good as his debut.
Roberto P. gave it a6:
He's not THAT great of an emcee. The production isn't quite that strong and the lyrics and flow aren't masterful. He certainly shouldn't be drawing comparisions to Jay-Z and Kanye let alone Nas and Rakim.
Kevin gave it a10:
This guy is beyond amazing. Lyrically a genius. It's hard to believe that this album never sold well.
