    Wow, this album is ass. This is like, Hopsin level bad. It's cheesy as hell, and it's preachy, but offers nothing that's compelling for anybody older than 13. I mean, ffs, there's literally lines on this album when Lupe talks about loving his mother more than he loves his car. That's not deep for anyone with a brain... and the beats often don't make any sense. The production of the albumWow, this album is ass. This is like, Hopsin level bad.

That's not deep for anyone with a brain... and the beats often don't make any sense. The production of the album is just straight up bad, and most of the album just sounds... borderline unlistenable... seriously, this is one of the worst hip hop albums I've ever listened to. Preserve your sanity and don't listen to it, unless you're a Paul Joseph Watson fan or have the same level of intelligence as one.… Expand

    It falters beneath its own cynicism. Rather than continuing to forge his own sound in tandem with longtime producer Soundtrakk, he chooses to co-opt mainstream currency--the gangsta tropes of trap music, the club rhythms of EDM--and delivers a mix of parody and second-rate would-be radio singles.

    Not unlike Lasers, lots of songs on this album have focused verses from Lupe and large scale, sing-along choruses from featured guests, which both helps and hinders the overall listen.

    DROGAS Light isn't quite memorable, but Lupe's talent shines enough to save it from total obscurity. Not a bad effort, though.
