Additional information
Tossing off fans with the Eurodance, EDM, and the unexplainable album Lasers, and then returning to form with Food & Liquor II, Lupe Fiasco finds himself free to soar and aspire on his 2015 effort Tetsuo & Youth, an album inspired by the rapper's upbringing in Chicago. It's also an LP that's conceptually structured, with "Summer," "Fall," "Winter," and "Spring" interludes dotting the track list, but any reservations that the sometimes "preachy" rapper has gone full sanctimonious are wiped away by the easy-rolling opener "Mural" and its elevated series of "LOL" punch lines ("Unless you Virgin Mary, nothin' do it but the truest/Believe all that unless you Jewish" or "And I feel like a missionary to a clitoris"). Guy Sebastian joins for the more poptacular "Blur My Hands," which seems a play for radio at only five-and-a-half minutes, as many numbers stretch longer, sometimes because of musical noodling (a banjo kicks off the great "Dots & Lines") and sometimes because it's a huge posse cut recalling the old days ("Chopper," the album's longest cut at 9:32). These flights of fancy are interesting, intoxicating, or both to varying degrees, but when "Madonna (And Other Mothers in the Hood)" hits the speakers as a poetic and majestic ode to those raising kids in the land of poverty and crime, Lupe offers a purposeful, and arguably perfect, song to anchor it all. His 2006 debut may still be the one to pick, since it's leaner and more instant, but Tetsuo & Youth strolls its way into greatness after a couple listens and wipes out all the bitter aftertaste of Lasers as if that misstep never happened. ~ David Jeffries
Reviews
Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the meatiest set he's produced in years. Kicking and pushing against the rap status quo, he raps over French jazz funk, pens a two-part suite about the prison-industrial complex, inserts contemporary classical-string interludes and curates a nine-minute gang-sta-rap-posse cut..." Spin - "[V]ividly imagined with stream-of-un-self-conscious raps and touches of Ani DiFranco-like cult jazz." Paste (magazine) - "Lupe has always been more than a lyricist, and he continues that tradition throughout the rest of the album, which features songs with normal structures. Even 'Chopper,' a nine-minute posse cut, has a solid chorus."
