    It had great raps. It had many boring songs. The flow from track to track was awful. I was disappointed overall. His best ablums were the first two and nothing since has compared.

    Lupe Fiasco's fifth album is a swirl of double meanings, extended metaphors about yoga and math, and increasingly labyrinthine ways to say "I'm dope."

    The density of Tetsuo & Youth just could have benefitted from even the slightest dose of levity to throw its rhetoric and messages into sharper relief.

    At the end of the album, it’s more than clear that third, fourth, and fifth listens are demanded to appreciate its scope.
