Certain artists generate a response that makes you honored to hear what they have to say. As I grow old in Hip-Hop, I’m starting more and more to seek out artists that mesh all of the elements together: dope tracks, lyricism, creativity and inspiration. In mainstream music the heart is missing. You can’t listen to the songs and get that spontaneous “Oh ish son, listen to that and rewind it.” Well, there isn’t a rewind anymore, but you want to hear that lyric over and over again. I found a few of these moments in the MLS Cd I reviewed last week especially on Hard and Target Practice, but with this guy every track seems to be a genuine ode to Hip-Hop. Lupe may be one of the best in the game today. No, he is one of the best in the biz today. Instead of talking so much listen to I’m Beaming and understand that real Hip-Hop is alive and well. You don’t have to listen to weed narratives and excessive party anthems to get to it, it’s right here. Lasers is dropping March 8th. Oh I thought this album was going to be called LUP-END? Anyway…
