No its not.

Considering you're a midwest novice, i understand your position, but there's a reason there are 4 neither votes. Not to mention SRP and N3R0 haven't voted yet so we both know that will jump to 6 neither votes.

I bet I could come up with 50 from Detroit alone. Lupe's fucking garbage.

LOL, i wouldn't say he's garbage.

I'll say it every time. The most overrated emcee post 2000. I don't understand where the praise comes from.

yeah, i think is way overrated, but he's got skills.. I just think his skills are a dime a dozen on the underground circuit. He just sticks out more cause he's a mainstream MC.

I agree with what you're saying about there being tons of midwest albums better than The Cool. But I'm interested in seeing your 50 better albums from Detroit...

Yeah, I haven't even heard 50 albums from Detroit. Anything I could get my hands on I'm quite certain would outshine Lupe's weak ass, though. As it is I could probably literally come up with 30.

LMAO!!!!!! Now if favoritism isn't a bitch. I have heard a lot of those mentioned and only 2 of those albums imo are better than The Cool. The rest of that shit is aiight I guess. Lupe would murk over half of them lyrically anyway. Hating is a diaease that starts in your heart but ends up coming out your ass...lol.

I listen to EVERYTHING. Try it. I don't have this closed minded mentality and diss shit constantly. How is a closed minded person one to comment on anything? Seriously? YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THIS SHIT SO DON'T OPEN YOUR MOUTH. SIMPLE. YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE, YOU BITCH AND WHINE ABOUT KJ HATING ON THE SOUTH BUT THEN HATE ON THE MIDWEST.

Neither. This album wasn't anything special. Aside from F & L, Lupe has been quite ordinary.

Neither.

Wayne, homie, even though I COMPLETELY agree with you, I'd be interested in seeing your list of 50 albums in the midwest, simply because I thought this would be more your style than 90% of the stuff that comes out of our fair region.

"Lupe would murk over half of them lyrically anyway. Hating is a diaease that starts in your heart but ends up coming out your ass...lol."

lmao... One Be Lo is boring and average lyrically, but Lupe is some microphone killa, huh?

I don't hate the Midwest i'm just being realistic and given my opinion at the sametime. I have listened to a good amount of midwest music, as much as you?...nope and i'm not trying to act like I have. But I know what I like and The Cool while not a classic album or anything was one of the best I heard from this high quality lacking region. There is a ton of quanity in the midwest and props to you, Link, and Joe for diggin in the crates for every midwest rapper that exist but I have no passion or motivation to do the same.

I do feel the midwest is a region that is very under appreciated but let's not try to overrate it either. Quality wise and classic wise it can't touch the other 3 regions speaking for myself of course.

Yep. No song by One Be Lo imo is on the level of the storytelling and messages Lupe spits. His concepts and rhyme cadence is betta than his also. One Be Lo is no slouch on the mic I know that even if I do not dig the album. But i'll take Lupe anyday his albums just have way betta production and hooks to me also.

To each their own, but i'm not seeing how Lupe is doper than One Be Lo.

Agreed. There are far better Midwest albums IMO.

That's some ridiculous shit. If you like pop production and radio hooks, that's understandable. But Lupe can't touch OneBeLo. Not even in your imagination.

Top 25 EASILY, Food & Liquor would make my Top 10.

I'm not sure the lashing at KRob is necessary here. I dig plenty of albums from the midwest but looking at it objectively, you have to admit that the midwest has the least number of quality albums of any region. That's not bashing, that's reality. I don't agree that there's not 100 dope midwest albums, but when you compare the midwest to the East, West, and South, they come up a little short.

On the other hand I would say that the Midwest has been on a tear the last 6-8 years and is IMO becoming more relevant than the South or West regions as far as right now is concerned.

Well, an album doesn't even need to be mediocre to surpass this. Maybe Kev and KJ still bump their Backstreet Boys tapes, too. I hear they're loaded with quality production and great hooks.

There is a reason this album has 10 neither votes. LOL!

Maybe Kev should have kept his comments to himself. He was the one who opened pandora's box.

lol

Don't take it the wrong way. Obviously a lot of people like Lupe. That's fine. Kev knew he was being inflammatory in suggesting that only spiteful haters don't. And that OneBeLo comment...

Don't get me wrong, I like this album and it is my style, if you will, but overall, it's a neither.

All I'm saying is that I don't care what you and the Lupe haters think. That's the ONLY thing that the neither votes represent. I rep the opposite.

10 neither votes doesn't equate to hating. it just doesn't.

LMAO! Just because this album gets neithered, that makes everyone a Lupe hater? That is the logic that delusional fans use to try and justify their favorites.

oops, it's up to 11 now.
