Bumped it about a week ago when it leaked. This could very well be album of the year. Not for everyone, but if you like pure fucking lyricism, this one is it.

Lupe gotta get more all-time respect.

never been a huge fan of his music but as a lyricist Lupe is one of the GOATs right up there with Nas

This album almost solidifies that.

Heard he has another album tucked away on par with this. If that's true, that's wild.

Is it just me, or have these abstract album covers kind of ran their course?  It was cool the first few times it was done, with an all black cover, or with some kind of picture that had nothing to do with the album, no artist name, no album title, no tracklist, but seems like now everyone does it.  It used to be a symbol of bucking the system, doing an "f you" to record company marketing, etc, but now it's a bandwagon thing.
