After a nearly two-minute intro starts "Food & Liquor II" really the first track "Strange Fruition". Accompanied by a somber and sedate piece a bit of drama by winning a final beat and a string loop, puts Lupe Fiasco early a high benchmark. With numerous puns in his luggage, he shows in his unique way, what inedible fruits drives the company. In "Around My Way (Freedom Is not Free)" will the older among us immediately at the Pete Rock - feel CL Smooth classic "TROY" recalls - &. The instrumental sounds like a 1: 1 copy as the original and is simply a stunner. Lupe burns to flow technically quite low and sets to the so cheerful-sounding song towards a lyrical Serious Performance. However, powerful spine tingling "Audubon Bull Room". It revolves around the role of the African American and speaks to this courage. This is topped with a real bang out of tune, which sounds both powerful and heroic, as well as emotional, which comes in the chorus to bear in particular.
Something casual it comes to the chilling "Bitch Bad" to the point and also "Lamborghini Angels" suggests, with its spacey synth sound clearly a relaxed way. Also to offer coolness hardly comes "Heart Donor", in which also Poo Bear mitmischt and the chorus sings, around the corner. The song was produced by the Runners, who are known for their melodious sound. And so also "Heart Donor" nestled wonderfully pleasant to the ears and goes in like butter. Somewhat surprisingly, one with "Battle Scars" just a track about unrequited love of the absolute highlights album. Of Claps and piano dominates, perfected with lots of singing by Guy Sebastian, this sad Smash is completely under the skin and grabs you with its harmonious sounds and the matching verse of the two artists. The final part of "Food & Liquor II" is introduced quite energetic with the self-confident "Braveheart" and finds the once again very thoughtfully tuned "Unforgivable Youth" again a true highlight.
Lupe Fiasco since the beginning of his career was one of the rappers who delight fans with smart lyrics. By "Food & Liquor II:. The Great American Rap Album Pt 1" shows he matured and at an even higher level, which is also reflected in the beat selection to its outworks. On the whole, with this record keeping a consistently good album in the hands that despite the one or other somewhat ponderous song can convince.
