I think you'll find Lupe's albums, and songs too, have a tendency to grow on people as you digest it more. Once you understand it's influences and hidden nuances. Theres a lot of backpack type rap all over this album, and performance wise I think it's one his best. Even if he has better flows here and there, this one pays homage to a lot of 90s rappers in the underground scene. I don't think you'll like Light on your first listen, but if you know they are throwaway songs mostly its just for fun and to get out of his contract. I rate F&L2 one album above it, but its still fun. His mixtapes are all better than those + lasers. Lasers is his worst album I've decided but it was the label fault.
@bestreviewmusic fair enough, Lupe is like that. But I have to say I immediately fell in love with Palaces and Til Eternity. Bigfoot and Outside caught up soon. Those last 5 songs are one hell of a stretch. Maybe last 6 are on par with the last 6 of Drogas Wave.
Im here for any Lupe reactions. Mixtapes, Drogas Wave, DMIZ, whatever.

Yikes whoadie. Have you continued to listen?
Yes and it’s gotten a lot better. Just had to get into the lyrics a bit more
