He looks and sounds different. Maybe I'm just noticing it because I don't listen to him too much (even though I do like him).</p>
Wow I love it! I like the 'dark' simplistic beat, and the song has a great message. Anyone know if this is off his new album?</p>

he looks real different without glasses.</p> This is tight, i like it. Another good song from Lupe, no surprise.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ATLien)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Lupe is boring.</p> </p> YEP!</p> </div></p> Based on what?! His amazing debut album? If you havent listened to Food & Liquor and are a hip-hop fan then I definitley recommend you pick this cd up...His best tracks from his cd are The Cool, American Terrorist, He Say She Say, The Instrumental and Kick Push. I cant wait till his sophmore album drops and hopefully it doesnt fall into 08 as I have heard various rumours here and there about possible delays but nothing comfirmed yet. I would have loved for him to make Superstar his first single but oh well, Dumb it Down is amazing anyways.</p> </p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ATLien)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> I actually purchased (*GASP!*) Food & Liquor, but I was duped. He's not really that good.</p> </div></p> Really??! Did you honestly not like it? Was it the production, lyrics or his flow that turned you off of Food and Liquor, because I thought it was one of the top 10 hip-hop/rap cds of 2006.</p> On a side note I thought the video was pretty good, he doesnt need the cars, jewelry and $1 million budget to sell his product just his music.</p> </p>

For someone with ties to The Neptunes and Kanye West, two of the greatest hip-hop producers of this decade, the production was very average run of the mill sounding. And for me, it had no replay value. Whenever I go back to listen to it again, it's just "eh".</p> </p>
Well he has ties with them, he had a beat from both of em. OD'n just makes it look like your trying to sell the CD because you got Pharell and Ye'...the production is straight with me...</p> and this video is tight...superstar is the first single though...this video is just a video he constructed for the net.</p>

Figured he's from Atlanta, maybe he favors Atlanta-based rappers.</p>
I could understand someone saying they don't like Lupe's style or music...but I can't and won't understand people who say he isn't a good lyricist...</p> and I always wonder if people have checked his mixtapes? I wouldn't think so highly of him if I had only heard F&L, and not the Fahrenheit mixtape series.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (peg182)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> I'm just curious, what kind of rap are you into?</p> Southern rap? Atlanta dudes?</p> </div></p> </p> Different stuff. I like CunninLynguists, The Roots, Atmosphere, Mos Def, Outkast & etc. as well as more known artists like T.I., Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, Killer Mike, Young Dro & Jeezy. So yeah I do listen to a lot of Atlanta dudes as you condescendingly put it, but also listen to the acts you probably enjoy listening to as well.</p>
I won't rule out the possibility that I'm forgetting an artist or two, but I honestly feel that rap from Atlanta is whats killing hip hop now a days. The mecca of southern hip hop is in North Carolina.</p>

I actually like this song/video I like the beats there pretty good even though I don't listen to Lupe that much but this song is pretty good.</p>
