"Lupe ... delivers with what we've come to expect from him."

Well, honestly, I expected him to deliver more BS. And I got just what I expected.

I think Lupe needs a real good producer for his new album for a change. All I hear are crappy futuristic beats. Some Primo beats perhaps? Madlib? 9th Wonder?

you realize this isn't a beat made for him... right...?

9th is the most overrated underated producer. One of the innovators of lupe's classic sound was 'soundtrakk' . Good point thought this dub shit is a joke.

you're all trippin...his lyrical content and flow on this song is insane. get it together people. choice of beats is eclectic, but that's his direction. saying this is bullshit though is ridiculous.

dont care for the guy echo in the beginning unnecessary

its alright. I agree that he can pull off the rapping over dubstep, I really like the beat, and the lyrical content is good, but the track lacks some diversity, it just flat lines.
