By Davis Huynh / Tracks / November 24, 2011 / 7737 Views

New mixtape from Lupe Fiasco as he quietly gives thanks to fans during today's holiday festivities through musical form. This Friend of The People mixtape was initially set to drop in around Christmas of 2009 but was set aside for his Mount Kilimanjaro voyage to raise awareness of the global water crisis, in which he successfully completed. Also be on the lookout for Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album soon to follow.

    damn the hate is strong

  • fano

    Yeah, his bars are up to par, but he cant spit over dubstep beats. The shit just isn't working here.

    lupe what the fuk negga. u's need a reality check. F&L2 better prove ur worth, otherwise, u fuking done for good.

    He could blame Lasers on the studio, but not this. If F&L:2 is like this, he's dead to me. I mean I still like some of it, but he's still with those weak beats and pop-rock hooks and it doesn't work. And he was my favourite rapper from his first two LPs...

    No, it isn't. Nothing like the Food & Liqour Lupe I know and love.

  • DaDaPhilosophy

    I like this mixtape quite a bit. Clear your mind, open it, and just listen. People keep listening to Lupe with standards and expectations and shit. Just listen to what he gives you. He's still bringing it lyrically. People just don't like the choice of beats. He still speaks the truth though.

    I know I'll be in the minority here, but I LOVEEEE THIIISSSSSSS. I really don't know what people are complaining about. I'm too hyped off the old lyrical/story-telling Lupe I'm hearing on this tape. I must be missing something...

    There are only 2/3 dubstep track on here. What are the complaints about the rest?

    If you have any sort of appreciation or knowledge of current electronica artists you will find this mixtape interesting and unique.

    Agreed, lyrically, i'm hearing old lupe.  Also, i'm kind of a sucker for the electric beats, they give the songs an heroic-like feel.

    he's experimenting, if any other rapper tried 2 do this they would suck, sure it's not amazing beats but the lyrics are still there, also it's a new genre, it's a damn experiment, F&L2 will not be like this, it'll have the spark. chill out.
