-
By boldly expanding the parameters of mainstream hip-hop, Fiasco's threatening to make rap a welcoming place for geeks and iconoclasts as well as pimps and thugs.
-
Food & Liquor is the best hip-hop album of 2006.
-
Being bold and different for Lupe pays off right from the jump.
-
MojoOne of the albums of the year. [Dec 2006, p.120]
-
The album might not become a rap classic, but it is easily one of the best rap albums of 2006, and maybe one of the top records of any kind to appear this year.
-
Fiasco is actually an absolutely dazzling emcee and a genuinely nuanced personality, and both of these things are incredibly rare in hip-hop in 2006.
-
His orchestral Kanye-meets-Nas muse lacks originality.
