I feel like he should make two versions of the same album.....one that's dumbed down for the radio and goes with what the Label wants then for his fanbase he should release the album that he truly wanted to make and it's raw form with no hangups or anything and release that like to a satellite station or maybe just for downloads only.

Yeah, it's just going to suck if we look back on his discography down the road and there's a 3 album stain in the middle of his career. Of course I'm assuming the worst when I haven't even heard Lasers yet. On that note, who the **** was I kidding... I can't wait till Tuesday, just started spinning it.
I already know and overall like Words I Never Said, The Show Goes On, I'm Beamin', and Shining Down from their previous releases, and so far Letting Go with Sarah Green is a plus track. Not bad so far.
MDMA kills this album, in a bad way. The auto-tune absolutely ruins any tracks he's on, makes me forget it's even a Lupe album. No business having that there on an album that also includes: "Now if we auto tune that ****/ We can hear the songs from that opera-groomed fat bitch/ Tellin' us not to pursue it, just to shoo it like a blacksmith"....etc etc.... "Well I'm not havin' it, no". Having Matthew Santos back on all these tracks instead of MDMA would have made this album pretty epic.
