The Good: Well, the flows still there. Lu drops gems from start to finish like, “The game is lookin’ weak, the whole scene starved/So I came through with some Muscle Milk and protein bars.” He skillfully mixes his overtly political message with a blend of references from Zeitgesist to Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure while still proclaiming to rep for the block and blogosphere. Hood nerdery at it’s finest.
The Bad: Mad short! 22 minutes is literally a tease. The beat selection was all over the place, almost made you think he’d been sitting on some of these tracks for a minute. Lil Wayne’s “Fireman” is hot but damn, didn’t that drop in 2005?
The Verdict: Not his dopest mixtape, but he crushes a few new and familiar beats. Thankfully Lupe’s camp came off the split version. While the cassette style tape was dope and I completely understand the artistic intent, it’s always fun to skip around to your favorites without holding fast forward. Always good to hear from him.
