This how I know niggas is hearing the album, but they ain't listening. I'm not finished with the album yet, (I'm on the Damian Marley track. Flames, btw.) but there is a dope ass message throughout.

The first half of this album is a correlation between our place in society throughout history being at the bottom -- with the bottom being the ocean. From our ancestors jumping ship, to us living there and making the best of the situation. All those songs being ocean/water related. From the production to the bars.

So far it reminds me of Food and Liquor 2 (the message) meets T&Y. The record placement is also flawless.

I'm a big fan of Lupe, but I know how to be objective. This album is dope as fuck so far. I'm on Stack Dat Cheese now. Also flames.

I love you bro. Looking at this album totally different now! @Goldie I let you do this to one of my favorite rappers with Lupe and it's cool. But if my nigga XV ever return and you enter the thread with this energy I can't promise you I won't get emotional fam. That's no no territory bruh!

Mural isn't a good song, it's an 8 min verse lol

The verse was cool, it was no where near as fire as yall try to make it seem. I said the bars yall praise were simple.

Lol I'm a huge Lupe fan but I can even admit that it's so easy to troll us. Stop it bro, you've had your fun.

Surely you can do better than that, sir.

Back to our regularly scheduled program:

My honest opinion on this album? I like it even more than T&Y. I don't hafta skip shit. The interludes, the people speaking -- they're not necessarily needed, but they set the tone for what Lupe is trying to convey. As most of Lupe's work, it's lyrically dense. It's gonna take me a lot of listens and Google to get everything, but I'm ok with the treasure hunt. He's the only rapper that does it, so in that, I appreciate it.

I've said it before, if music is to be looked upon as an art form, then Lupe, for better or worse, is oftentimes an abstract artist. I don't care how "convoluted" it seems, there is always a method to his madness.

Nothing feels outta place. Songs literally "flow" into one another. I love what he did with the Alan and Jonylah Forever tracks, for instance. I know who Jonylah is, but I wonder if there's a similar backstory with Alan.

As much as I loved the message and the songs in the first half, the 2nd half is even stronger. Not in the abstract art way, but as far as the lyricism is concerned.

All in all, it reaffirms my belief that Lupe is lyrically on another level. He doesn't rhyme words together for the sake of rhyming. There is a destination he has in mind with his lyricism, which makes what he does all the more impressive. Even more than some other celebrated lyricists.

I was ready to pounce on ol' boy's album if it failed to deliver. And that's one of the things we endure as fans of this particular artist. He gets in his own way sometimes, and it reflects in the music. Happy to say that didn't happen here and he sounds focused and sharp.

Off first listen, I'm giving the album a 4.75/5. I have iTunes, so I'll have the official joint at midnight. Hopefully Target has the physicals because I'm supporting that way as well.
 
I thought only fans who wait till the album release wer.... u got it.


I'll chill from callin out the bullshit for the next couple days and let yall cook

I never said that shit. I wanna listen to shit when I wanna listen to it and I fault no person for subscribing to the same belief. I listened to it a day early. If it was wack, then I woulda panned it a day early and wouldn't be buying shit.

I don't wanna wait. I want my Christmas and birthday gifts early too, if I can get it. Patience is not one of my virtues.
