Tetsuo & youth

Nærværende konsulent var ret begejstret for Chicago-rapperen Lupe Fiascos første, nørdede udgivelser - og blev dybt skuffet da der gik Lady Gaga, autotune og eurodance i den. Men på femte album er Lupe Fiasco tilbage på toppen, fuld af energi, sprøde og til tider gåsehudsfremkaldende melodier i cinemascope og fuldfed rap. Fiasco er helt oppe og ringe på det her album, side om side med Drake og Kendrick Lamar - hvis ikke bedre. Me likes!.

"Vurdering: B" - "Tetsuo & Youth has massive, state-of-the-art choruses from Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian, Nikki Jean, and others. Still, it's not exactly a pop-rap album, and recent collaborators like Ed Sheeran and Chris Brown are nowhere to be found - testament to Lupe's strict vision for his final album on Atlantic. By usual standards, these songs tend to be too long for airplay, but that's not to say you won't be hearing them all over the place. Lupe is still a guy to root for, and Tetsuo & Youth is full of daring songs that remind you of why".
