The Cool [CD] [PA]

I've always been a fan of Lupe, and this album is just straight crazy, every song is unique, and has meaning, unlike most music these days.

This album is absolutely phenomenal from the production to the lyricism. Lupe bravely goes where no other artist has gone in a long time. He attacks the cultural acceptance of ignorance and shines a bright light on the reality of the situation. Lupe tackles subjects from the club to the war and your head never stops nodding to the grooves of each of the tracks. As he tells you a story of the Cool, be ready to travel to places you never thought you could. This Cd has become the soundtrack of 2008 for me.

This is the perfect album...every song is great and shows Lupe lyrical genius. He truly is the savior of hip hop

This album is outstanding. He raps about real issues and storytells like no other rapper i have ever heard, including 2Pac n Biggie. Definitely take a listen to Fighters. One of the best songs I've heard. With Matthew Santos on the hook, it's amazing. If you liked Santos in Superstar, you'll love him in Fighters. LupEND

This was a great cd and it was available for a great price

Lupe is a good hip hop artist. The cool has it the tracks are great and great guests on the album. A true classic Lupe album.

Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, is one of those albums I slept on back when it came out even though I enjoyed the singles such as "Dumb it Down", "Paris, Tokyo" and so on. As I heard the album, I found myself enjoying it so much so that I played the album over and over. All the guest appearances on the album, did their thing. I did not find a weak verse on the album. I recommend this album to people just getting into Lupe Fiasco's body of work.

I got this mainly for GoGoGadget Flow which I had only just recently heard though I've always liked Lupe Fiasco. Whole album is great though. Very pleased! Majority of music these days - rap especially, is garbage!! This is a nice reminder of the essence of hip hop - storytelling!
