It's not that bad of an album, it's just his worst. It's average, but far from "awful".

I think Lupe is getting the 50 Cent treatment on this one.

As for Lupe "hating" the album, he says "the music is dope, but I don't like the process". Basically blaming the label for one song that is going to get him all his sales anyway.

T.I. is different though. He has way more power over there than Lupe lol. That never would have happened if T.I. was a free man. They put some crappy songs on the album and they really dropped the ball by not making Castle Walls a single  ???  mark my words that would have gone #1 on Billboard.

But the T.I. album still went Gold and will probably flip over to Platinum eventually

People want to blame Atlantic and I'm sure there's a bunch of bullshit involved with them but Lupe Fiasco was changing and you could hear it in the first two singles which didn't make the cut and that annoying ass alt-rock project.

LASERS was always going to have an electronic, and as I feared rock, feel to it, probably more strings than the one we got based on I'm Beaming & All Black Everything.   The one we got suffered from guest features, annoying pop choruses, and average production.


Most of it is decent, some of it is really bad.

it is all Atlantic's fault, bottom line... they straight up put this album together and forced Lupe to work with some of these features/producers otherwise they weren't going to release the album... Lupe had to compromise with them to eat and unfortunately he just doesn't have creative control like that with his projects, at least nowadays

I don't agree with you.  Lupe brought this upon himself.  I don't really feel sorry for him in the least bit.

I like it.

Most chourses should have be changed.   MDMA should have been one track.  The Show Goes On sample sung is annoying.
Out of My Head should have been left off.
Some production should have been altered so it's not as poppy and insulting (The Show Goes On).

Otherwise, I like the lyrical approach - the introspection and articulation of his mental state from depression to positivity.

Word? 

How fast did Recovery play out for you? 

This, B.o.B's, and Em's albums all have a similar atmosphere.   I don't like B.o.B or Em's albums all that much and both got tired after two listens.  So far I've found more appreciation in Lupe's L.A.S.E.R.S and can handle it's content more than Recovery, which felt forced.

Recovery, maybe two weeks; mostly because I gave Eminem more of a chance. Didn't care for B.o.B.'s album at all. They do all have a similar atmosphere, but something about Lupe's album just bores me quick.

But to be fair, those four songs I named are really good.

His version of "nothing on you" wouldn't have hit. he had no energy and his fllow was weak. Duke at Atlantic was right on that one
