Man, I feel a bit ridiculous right now. I've got it pretty bad. This young lady is on my mind more often than I'd like to admit and we don't even live in the same place. I'm not sure if it'd be harder or easier if we did live close together. All I know is I'd like to have a chance with this one if I could. Not sure where or what that would lead to but I feel like the window of opportunity will be sliding shut before I get that chance.
On a totally unrelated note: Finally purchased the Lupe Fiasco - Lasers album. Haven't had a chance to listen to it but I'm pretty excited. I know what I'll be jammin in my vehicle tomorrow. I will be posting about that after and either saying that it's great or how much I hate it. Hopefully more of the former.

Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
Caught a few songs of Lupe Fiasco's third album Lasers on GrooveShark. Of the songs I heard the track Space Love is absolutely JAMMIN! Even though GrooveShark says it's from Lasers, it's actually not. The other songs are very good as well so no big deal. Good hip-hop artists tend to follow a pattern in my experience, three solid albums and then they just fall off. Look at Kanye West. College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation are all excellent (save for a few songs), 808s and Heartbreak was awful. Very little sweet lyrical rapping, a quality which defines the best in hip-hop, and a lot of trendy, shitty auto-tune. Is it shitty because it's trendy? Well, partially because it gets played out, but mostly because it has always been garbage even before it was trendy. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? Over-produced vomit propagating into your ear drums. What's that you say? You love those albums? Well I'm sorry to hear that you are lying to yourself. Just be honest, listen to his first three albums and then listen to the last two. You'll hear the difference and it will be substantial.
That all being said, I expected Lupe's third album to be excellent and, from what I've heard, he hasn't disappointed. Now the true test for all time, can he keep it going on album four and beyond? Time will tell. Until then, I'm gonna be feeling the Space Love.
