Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Will The Cool, the second album from Lupe Fiasco, do what his first couldn’t and make this Chicago rap prodigy a star? If the answer must be no, maybe it’s just because Lupe’s too far ahead of the competition. The Cool gets off to a bit of a bumpy start--"Go Go Gadget Flow" shows off Lupe’s quick-lips vocal talents, but it’s a bit slight content-wise, while "Superstar" reaches for the crossover card through its somewhat hammy sub-Chris Martin vocal from Matthew Santos. A little further in, though, and Lupe’s firing on all cylinders. "Dumb It Down" outdoes Pharrell at his own game, droning synths and ticking drums atop which Lupe dissects an industry built on low expectations. "Hello/Goodbye" shows the breadth of The Cool’s scope, borrowing a doom-laden hook from James Lavelle’s UNKLE project. And "Little Weapon", produced by Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy, surprises; a pneumatic, enjoyable production that’s the bed for a narrative that sees Lupe morphed into the body of a child solider-–although a surprise pull-back at the end suggests it might be about violent computer games. Maybe it’s too fragmented to vault Lupe into the league of Kanye and Jay-Z--or maybe The Cool is simply too original and too inspired to resort to hip-hop cliché. –-Louis Pattison
Description
'The Cool' is the second album from American hip hop star Lupe Fiasco and is loosely based on the track of the same name from his debut album 'Food & Liquor'. The album sees Lupe shift towards a more pop orientated sound while managing to maintain his credibility by employing the production talentsof Soundtrakk, Chris & Drop and Unkle. Guest vocals and playing comes from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Matthew Santos and Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme.
