this album had a profound impact on my come up while learning to engineer and produce music. conceptually felt like a soundtrack to... a movie I had to create in my own head while listening and I would always go back for more. Incredibles storytelling, and a world building masterclass without losing sight of the art and human connection. show more

LF's The Cool is an excellent follow-up to his debut, Food & Liquor, nominated thrice, including one for Best Rap Album. Soaring above... the sophomore slump, Lupe pushes good dopeness on tracks like "Superstar," "Paris, Tokyo," and a personal favorite, "Gold Watch." Lupe's is a concept album with cinematic flair, well-executed, which influenced a broader generation, including Kid Cudi, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar, to think beyond the single's format and challenge their audiences with emotionally driven narratives spanning across their works. show more
