Oct 2, 2012The beats are ripped off from other sources. The best example being Around my Way - it is a near duplicate of They Reminisce Over You. The lyrics are overly preachy and quite stale. Lupe is technically adept, but this is the Mediocre American Rap Album.

Oct 31, 2012What it proves to be is an exhilarating, uneven, thought-provoking, over-egged, over-long, lucid, barnstorming, soul-infused hip-hop album of a type that, as I may have mentioned once or twice or five times, you just don't get any more. Except, of course, you do, and here it is.

Oct 12, 2012Some of these tracks give Lupe the room to triumph... But he falters on the frivolous "Heart Donor."

Oct 4, 2012Food & Liquor II is fine and good. It's just not The Great American Rap Album.
