I was watching some show on the telly and heard from Lupe that he used to hate Hip-Hop, and now look, he's one of the best new hip-hop artists up and coming. His lyrics are intelligent and his music is entertaining. I loved this album and I can't wait for his sophomore album.

The only problem i have is that on "The Instrumental" and "He Say She Say" he repeats the same verses, just
from a different perspective. But whatever, they're both amazing verses so it's not that annoying.

To clarify, I am giving the version of this he didn't release a 4.5.

Almost three years in the making, Lupe Fiasco's debut CD was one of this year's most strongly hyped CDs. Bolstered by his guest spot on fellow Chicagoan Kanye West's 'Touch The Sky,' Food & Liquor features guest spots from Pharrell and Jay-Z, while both Pharrell and West offer production on single 'Kick, Push' and album track 'The Cool' respectively.
Though closely aligned with the broad Chicago sound, Fiasco modelled the album after Nas' classic It Was Written, creating a mood that's positive and thoughtful, if not preachy. Jigga's guest rap is disappointing, and Lupe fails to take advantage of 'Daydreamin''s classic choral sample, but the vast majority of Food & Liquor is both intellectually and dancefloor-ally challenging- and, hey, it's been a while since we white people have had a popular rapper we can identify with.

'Food and Liquor' is often underwhelming, not helped by Fiasco's frequent self-contradictions.

Optimistic, socially aware yet uplifting. Lyrically this album is full of personality, word-play and some kick ass rhymes. Its smart, funny, nerdy, beautiful, sad, and just brilliant

2006 brought forth a breath of fresh air, a compelling and ambitious album that you will never forget about.

In the midst of Lupe's debut album are gems which include "Kick, Push", "I Gotcha", "Instrumental", and "Daydreamin'". The lyrics are thoughtful and provocative and are put together with fantastic flow. What keeps F&L from being a perfect hip-hop album is the presence of a few filler tracks

I find this album to be overlong but there are some amazing tracks to be found. Kick, Push, Daydreamin', I Gotcha, and The Instrumental are all great, catchy songs, but the album never really builds up enough steam to match its early-album push.

this album kills. i initially didnt like it.. the beats dont always do it for me.
But lyrically monstrous. if it had better beats consistently, it might be a classic.
