| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. This kid is a genious. Lupe combines aspects of social consciousness, rap history, and world history into this album. Lyrically, he delivers ryhmes that just make sense. "Real" and "Just Might Be OK" begin the album on a weird alternative rock vibe. However, he delivers fluently through the guitar strings. With the release track "Kick Push" the album picks up speed and rides smooth all the way to the end. Lupe definitely proves he can hold his own but gets accompanied by Jill Scott and Jay-Z. | |

This one is good. It's nice to see someone with talent out there rapping. The industry is so saturated with junk that an album like this is a breath of fresh air. He does a good job of saying something with substance preaching too much. | |

Lupe is the new era of Hip Hop! Kick Push the slammin single was just the tip of the iceberg. All the tracks are just one hit after another! Get it! Play it! Love it! | |

I have heard a lot of good reviews and feedback about this artist and his CD. The praise was justified in what turned about to be an excellent tape. It must be something about those guys from Chicago {Kanye West and Common} as they have more to say than most of the other junk representing Rap and HipHop. | |

Lupe brings a refreshing perspective and voice to hip-hop music. His raps are complex which makes you listen to them many times before you catch everything he says, and I love that. | |
