Cue Tip 2: Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor

Hey, everyone Miss Anita here reporting on Cue tip numero 2, Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor. Thnaks to everyone who showed up.

Food and Liquor is Lupe Fiasco's first album, and after much anticipation (alledgedly the album was leaked twice), the album has gotten luke warm reviews from the Cue Tip crew.
Jia T says, "It's putting me to sleep, I want to be something I can dance to."
I said, "I'm feeling the influence of Jay-Z and Pharrell too much, he needs to step out on his own a little"
Catherine: "His hooks are annoying...too much singing."
I personally like this album, I feel its different and positive. There isn't a lot of cursing and he raps about different things. Favorite tracks on the album included, "Daydreaming" featuring Jill Scott, and "American Terrorist."

Overall the album gets 3.5 stars (out of 5)
Next week's Cue Tip will feature Diddy's new album, Play.

She immediately became the apprentice for Hip Hop managers working her way up to Hip Hop manager this year. Her favorite music artists are Core Rhythm, Pharaoh Monch and Digable Planets.
