O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" MUSIC REVIEW-LUPE FIASCO-"FOOD AND LIQUOR"!!!!
By L.T. Dinwiddie
Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco’s debut album “Food & Liquor” is arguably one of the most anticipated hip-hop albums of the year. Earlier this year Lupe fell victim to an unfortunate album leak, and has also seen his album get pushed back several times by his record company. Just when it looked like his album was never going to arrive, finally it has.
“Food and Liquor” lives up to its hype. Executive produced by Jay-Z, Chill, and the Lupe himself, this album shows Lupe’s true talent and diversity that hip-hop is in need of. He is speaking the truth, and it’s refreshing to hear someone in hip-hop talk about things other then cars, girls, and money. With guest appearances from Jill Scott, Matthew Santos, and self proclaimed “best rapper alive” Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco’s newest musical effort is not to be overlooked. His talent is undeniable, and on this album he truly shines.

All around good album but I could do without that 14 minute outro at the end where he is simply giving shout outs, I mean add another track or two but don't just leave the album with a outro like that.
His album is tight, but I have to aggree with the first comment, that last 14 min outro is a waist of time.
My 15 year old son turned me on to Lupe. This album is wonderful and uniquely refreshing, filled with truth and words of wisdom as opposed to degrading trash and self hatred disguised as poetry. Long live Mr. Muhammad! Your parents should be proud of you for not following the masses!
