Has anyone been more prolific in their retirement than Jay-z though? 5 full lenghts and 3 full length collab albums since his retirement, impressive!!

 

I think Wayne’s gotta be up there

 

Andre 3000 kinda did

 

Master P has been active for 24 years since his “retirement”

 

ok, tell that to his 10 minute flute solo soundcloud release, psh

 

Only rappers that don’t mention retiring retire

 

Blast from the past a little, but the new Raury album has some cool moments. His last album was pretty terrible, but this has some cool stuff. Very laid back kinda stuff

 

Haven't checked it out yet but excited that he's back to hip-hop. I respect him for totally bucking the major label and going independent and making folk music just when he was blowing up though

 

new Lupe is interesting, a bit all over the place in a good way. Kiosk is absolutely terrible but Ms Mural is fire

 

This sounds like an Encore leftover, I wonder where this comes from now

 

Very excited to check out new Lupe today. One of the best doing it right now.

 

Wow. Hard disagree.

 

Really enjoyed the Lupe album but I didn't really like Kiosk either.

Overall, I would probably rank the album around the same level of Tetsuo & Youth or The Cool, but not quite Food & Liquor or DROGAS WAVE.

 

Listen to this

 

I'd definitely have it above The Cool, which never did much for me but yeah around the same level as T&Y. he's an artist with a hard top tier to break into lol

 

The Cool is his best album

 

it really, truly is not

 

F&L is his best album

 

But I also think he probably has had the most disappointing career since Xzibit

 

The Cool is one of my favorite albums of all time

 

Lupe is the epitome of meh for me

 

You guys need to listen to DROGAS WAVE again. It’s incredible.

 

Wave is absolutely my favourite and easily one of my favourites of the past few years. Food & Liquor obviously is a classic-tier debut although it has a couple songs I could live without

but anyway the new one is really good! second verse on Ms. Mural left me in awe, Lupe at his absolute best
