Lupe Fiasco: Imitation could kill ‘The Cool’

One of the worst reviews of the cool. Not because they didn't praise it but because they didn't understand it. Their main point it seems is that Lupe is copying. Specifically Kanye.

Really?

It's not all bad though.

Preview?

The Good.
"The excellent “Little Weapon,” which features one of Lupe’s smoothest flows ever, is set to a marching snare cadence, adding a very harsh edge to the tale of struggle and strife. “Go Go Gadget Flow” may be the fastest Lupe has ever rapped, spitting rapid-fire syllables over one of the coolest beats on the disc."

The Bad.
"Singer Matthew Santos seems like a low-budget version of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who appeared on West’s latest. The use of vocalist Nikki Jean is a blatant attempt to capture a Black Eyed Peas-type vibe, as her voice is nearly indistinguishable from the Peas’ Fergie."
