Im gonna get a lot of WTF reactions for this but I've never listened to it. There was just so much other stuff going on musically back then that I ? with that I just overlooked it. Yet somehow I got to hear Lasers as soon as it dropped smh
Now that there is such a drought for illness I guess it's a good time as any to finally sit down with it. Gonna listen to this and 4:44 (first Jay album in 8 yrs, gonna go off your reccomendations) with a 6 pack and a dub later on tonight. -

One of my all time favorite tracks. The wordplay, the imagery and the fact it has so many interpretations woven throughout.
He could be rapping from the perspective of the devil, money, corrupt government, war and violence. It's just high quality rap
Top 5 Lupe track for me -
This is that album that made me a Lupe fan for life. Bought this album from the CD store in buffalo New York when I was away at college.This was so big for me my freshman year in college. Because of that this is one of my favorite albums ever. I played this album going to class, at work coming back to the apartment dorms, busting roommates ass in madden and 2k lol everywhere.
Not gonna lie it took me a while to end up understanding the story of the cool, streets and Game. I turned a few people on campus to Lupe fans that year.Even my girl at the time ended up learning the words to the album lol. And I still give it burn now. Don't have the time to post the tracks from YouTube but my top songs are
The coolest
Streets on fire
Put you on game
Dumb it down
The die(death of the cool)
Can't believe it's 10 years already. I don't know if Hip Hop will claim its a classic but to me personally, it's a classic regardless -

Intruder was cold ? too -
Classic, my favorite Lupe album

my most coveted thing is a high self-esteem
And a low tolerance for them telling me how to lean
See, the most important parts are the ones that are unseen
The wings don't make you fly and the crown don't make you king
Now, ? don't like ugly, ain't too happy 'bout pretty
