This CD was AWESOME!!!!! Lupe Fiasco's my favorite musical artist ever since Kick Push. Even though it took 5 years to make this CD it was awesome. He actually knows how to rap unlike some others out there... Your the best Lupe!!!!!

Lupe is one of the best rappers to come out of Chicago. Lyricly he is one of the best in the game. Chicago based rapper are just smarter.

This is by far the best cd I have ever listened to. All the beats are great, plus the smooth enlightening flow by Lupe, the album is an instant classic. Lupe Fiasco is here to stay.

Amazing album! Hip Hop at it's best, I havent been this satisfied with :urban" music in years, too bad he isnt the "public" wants. He's amazing, if people would just stop and listen to his deep lyrics and get lost in his beats! You have every issue the the inner city minorities can relate to!

Erick	Rating: 10.0
This album is a classic. On the same level as Ready to Die and Illmatic. No lyrical flaws. Every single song has a message. Like Kick Push, it is not a skateboard song. It real meaning is for the guy. He is "kicking" and "pushing" his way out of the ghetto. Lupe is a lyrical genius.

William	Rating: 10.0
This album is one of the best albums ever.The rhyming in this album is amazing.All the song are great especially the song called The Instrumental.If you dont have this album,you should get it.

Easy	Rating: 10.0
We've been missing true hiphop like this. No disrespect to the Roots, Common, Talib, or Mos, but Lupe is the new breed of MC. Immaculate lyricism, impecable storytelling, make this album hard for hiphop fans not to like. Hell, I like it more than Devils Advocate and Kingdom Come.

Go cop dat, you won't be disappointed. It has something for everybody on here. Lupe is one of the best out. he will give anybody in the game a run for their money.

This is a pure, make you stop and think about everything happening around you album. And the reason people aren't buying it is because Wasalu isn't like all the other so called "rappers" out there. He's not talking about money, murder,sex and bling. And its unfortunate but people like that. Let's just pray he stays true to himself and keep what hip hop is really about alive. Much respect to Wasalu.

Its just shows the difference between loving the music than money or fame. Thats what makes him the greatest is because you hear the passion which drives you wild.

lupe has really captured wat real hip-hop sounds like-so many ppl dont even take time to lisen to rappers or hip-hop artists lyrics if any1 has the chance they should do that--Sunshine is the greatest song ive ever heard

Md	Rating: 10.0
The best rap / hip hop album since 'The Fix' by Scarface. This album is a must have, like Outkast's Southernplayalistic and Nas' Illmatic. Very vivid storytellin, but from the eyes of a most talented individual, Lupe Fiasco.....I hope this is the start of commercialism's ending.

Lupe Fiasco is hip hop. I saw Lupe in concert two times, hes a down to earth kind of guy. I listen to his music because i feel that it makes me think. his album and his mixtapes are great. his style uniqu, hes like the chosen one. maybe he can bring hip hop back. lady soul spelled his name wrong its Wassulu Muhammad Jaco

Some of what he said I just had to pull over and rewind cause I couldnt believe this Guy just said what he said.. DO it for the hood like a Parka.. Knowledge me I say..

OMG this album is great. I can listen to the entire album without changing it and the best thing is that all the songs are great. Lupe Fiasco has blended his love for skateboarding and rap into a wonderful record and I love it.

More powerful album. And creativity of lupe fiasco

Smitty	Rating: 10.0
By far the best hip hop album of 2006. From the childhood testimony in He Say, She Say, to the outstanding picture he paints of present and past day America in American Terroist and Daydream, this album is the best debut from a hihphop artist in a long time

Louis	Rating: 10.0
Lupe Fiasco is hot on dis CD peeps. He brings that whole Revolutionist appeal to the rap world and he brings one thing that only few rappers can bring....*INDIVIDUALITY* He wasn't afraid to lay it all on the line in the studio to bring an universal message to the music world. Love it!

Of course, it could have been a little better but it was iight. It wasn't thorough compared to something like Jay Z might put out, but it was iight.

Rapper/chronicler. The best,and I mean THE BEST cd thats been in my player. Makes you think,makes you smile,makes you wonder-leaves you in awe. Had me listening to the outro hoping he`d drop a coupl more lines. Pity the public does`nt realise the genius he is. A breath of fresh air. Cant listen once thru,gotta rewind lyk "no he dint just say that!" CLASSIC! FNF UP!

this album is probably the single most inventive and inspiring hip hop album that i have ever heard apart from Reasonable Doubt. the beats are haunting and uplifting at the same time THANK U LUPE FIASCO shots out 2 1st and 15th

Name says it all, Food and Liquor....can't be any realer than this...this is the hip hop that should be advertised in the main stream media.....i can't wait for the next one...come on lupe!!

SweetMelissa1120	Rating: 10.0
The first portion of the album seems a bit forced to me, but still he is an amazing lyricist. I still give him a 10 because even if that portion was forced it was exellent and the rest is even better. definatly a breath of fresh air and talent to the steadily shallowing rap/ hip hop industry

When it's all said and done, Lupe Fiasco will be one of the greatest to ever step in the booth. I ain't been this inspired since TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR. Lupe's creative, knowledgable and mostly he's himself. We are living in times where people are so caught up in pleasing individuals and will sell their souls in the process. All this money, cars, video chic shit is old news. Lupe appear to fit that mold the least bit. Duke is a real humble cat. Yet, his rhymes are tight enough to where he could act like his shit don't stank. Food & Liquor is a INSTANT CLASSIC. His mixtapes are must haves. "Conflict Diamonds", "Glory" and "Steady Mobbin'" are a few songs that u need to study. There so potent. His music is potent enough to wake the livin' dead. My lil' brother knows the lyrics to "The Instrumental" and he's 7! I'm proud of that. He's artistic and maybe he could become a Lupe himself someday. Lupe STAY TRUE to u KING. As long as u don't lose that passion and sense of direction SOUTH CENTRAL got u.... PEACE TO ALL

This dude is nice, this artist is one we need today becauce hip hop is dead. I am 19 years old and he is the Nas of my generation. Support this guy because he says what we need to hear. His music is deep and is something that is postive. Lupe is one of the best artist I today.

I liked tracks 1,2,4,6,7,8(sometimes),9,10(sometimes),11(the best),13,14, and 15;the remaining few were very very bad. I love this guy as a lyricist and as a brother in Islam. He'll only get better...

Jack Bandit	Rating: 10.0
This CD is hot man. every song on the cd is worth listening to but the best song on the cd has to be "I Gotcha" and if you don't agree something is wrong with you.

Rauniz	Rating: 10.0
Yes, some Lupe fans! Yes, Lupe is definetely in the category for best rapper alive. He along with Kanye West, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Jay Z are my favorite rappers. Lupe inspires my music and this album is the classic that helped me become the rapper I am trying to become. I'm waiting for the follow up Lu!

lupe didnt want to make me learn to become a skateboarder.. but his cd is one of the best hip hop cds of all time hands down. he's diff. he doesnt rap about getting money or selling drugs. he's real. his cd is up there with Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, College Dropout, Ready to die, and all the other great hip hop cds

young-T	Rating: 10.0
Lupe is able to apply common situations with lyrical play and a hint of poetry that makes a huge record. Even greater is doing it for all his songs. thats incredible

Food and Liquor is a masterpiece. Nobody's is as good as Lupe right now except for Jay-Z. People who don't buy the album are missing out on history. Every song on the album is lyrically genius. Lookout for Lupe's new album The Cool coming out Halloween 2007.

Wow, what can I even say? This album... is the best of the best in my opinion. I knew he was going to be something big when I first saw him in Kanye West's "Touch the Sky". His rhymes is blazin. He's gon make it big.

Lupe Fiasco has a God Given Gift to strum along words in a rhytmic pattern that makes your mind flow. His street swagger along with harmonious beats puts hip hop on an intellectual level that it never could reach without his contribution. Lupe Fiasco's music is indeed the perfect definition of Hip Hop.
