This is the reason Lupe hates being with Atlantic. This is the definition of a great artist being forced to commercialize his music to appeal to the retards who enjoy pointless club beats and zippity zappity fun sounds. You can tell which songs on the record are mostly Lupe's own creation and which ones he was forced to put on to be able to release the record. I really hope he leaves Atlantic soon.
I feel that way about the hook in this song, but not the verses... Lupe goes hard in the paint. I fucking love his flow in this song. The hook annoys the shit out of me.

But I honestly think it's dumb to say he was "forced" to make this. I'm sure they require a bit more "mainstream" sounds in songs... but he still writes his shit. He puts his own spin on it.. even if it's supposed to be cookie cutter, lupe shapes the cutter, creating his own damn cookie.

I agree with jcodys- the lyrics are great. He made the best of the sitauation and still cranked out a lyrically interesting album even if the sound is bubble gum (on most of the songs). There are some authentic Lupe tracks on the album.

This definitely has a different sound from a lot of Lupe's other music. It's really hard for me to listen to this, regardless of how solid the actual lyrics are.
