Free Music Notes for The Cool
Free Music Review: Consistent thus far!
Hit: 4 Stars
Lupe's second album was well thought out, somewhat predictable, but I predicted it would be good and that came true also. If you liked Food & Liquor, then you will like The Cool. It is currently in heavy rotation on all of my music players.Free Music Review: 2007's best album
Hit: 5 Stars
This music has managed to convert every single person i know into a lover of Lupe Fiasco's music. This album is a masterpiece. I have heard few albums that even begin to approach the genius that The Cool represents. Bring on the third album!Free Music Review: Flavor, but not an acquired taste
Hit: 4 Stars
Another great album -- BUT for Lupe fans.
That's honestly the best way to describe this sophomore set.
I own his debut Food & Liquor, and The Cool was given to me as a Christmas gift by one of my homies. Of course, none of my peeps feel him like I do which is kind've my point. He's not the most charismatic emcee and he doesn't do the standard club, radio-friendly crap, so he's not an artist that just grabs you.
Buy this album, as many reviewers have already said, because you're a hip hop purist, you're a fan of intelligent lyrics or you just want to hear something different than what gets overplayed on MTV and BET (lol).
To me, both of Lupe's albums have the same cool, relaxed vibe with creative lyrics that are not hard to listen to. If I have to rate them, his debut has bigger singles (I still love "Hurts Me Soul") though I belive The Cool is more complete song-by-song.
Lupe's got a better flow than Kanye and is just as intensely conscious as Common without coming off half as threatening, as far as ChiTown emcees go.
Lupe Fiasco is on the short list of new artists to come out in hip hop since '05 that I've actually been excited about.
The Cool hasn't left my CD player since I opened it.
Again, recommended for hip hop fans who appreciate what he's about.
My Favorite Tracks
1)"The Coolest"

***My Vote 4 Best Track is probably "Hip Hop Saved My Life"
Free Music Review: A BIG step down from "Food & Liquor"!
Hit: 2 Stars
Lupe Fiasco was a promising rapper with a great career ahead of him after the success of "Food & Liquor"(2006). Unfortunately, after listening to "The Cool", Lupe has significantly dropped in quality. From elementary rhymes to synthesizer-heavy pop production, Lupe has fallen off.
The production is TERRIBLE. "The Cool" and "Graduation" both sound like synthesizer pop albums. If you're a pop/southern rap fan you will love this trash.
"Food & Liquor" was a FANTASTIC album!...what happened Lupe?
Check this album out to save yourself from Lupe's downfall...Me Against the World
Free Music Review: Better than Graduation
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I liked Graduation a lot but The Cool is just so much better. Better production, better lyricism, better message. Standout tracks: Go Go Gadget Flow, The Coolest, Superstar, Hi-Definition, Hip-Hop Saved My Life, Little Weapon. Click yes if you agree.
