I like this production over "The Cool".
Album is a masterpiece.
"The Cool" concept was so unique. The storyline was crazy. But damn this album is a great balance of great beats and crazy lyrics. He put his heart into this project. Lasers , F&L 2..are projects where he clearly wasn't happy. I felt Lasers was forced by the execs. He went rock bottom and became less relevant. People forgot how talented he was. You can tell he wanted to remind people how good he is. I think that Prisioners track was pointed at Atlantic Records.
Yo. Song is so damn hard. Then you listen to the lyrics.Album is a masterpiece.
Chopper :x

Why you ready to die? You just a baby
Why them tears up under your eyes? You just a baby
Keep your head up in the sky, you just a baby
Quit chasing money, never mind, you just a baby
(These Magi adore you) x2
Why you wanna be born again? You just a baby
Why you playing in the streets? You just a baby
One interpretation of the hook sees Lupe questioning the choice to spend one’s youth living the fast life and instead encouraging the young to look forward towards a long, prosperous future.
However, if you look at these lines individually, you’ll find that each serves as an allusion to a different classic album with a baby in the cover art:
Ready To Die by The Notorious BIG
Tha Carter III by Lil Wayne
Nothing Was The Same by Drake
Nevermind by Nirvana
Born Again by Black Sabbath
Illmatic by Nas
Hmmmm still say Food and Liquor is his best album.
