Advantages: A couple of good tracks Disadvantages: No big single. Lots of poor tracks
"Lupe' Fiasco's The Cool" is the Chicago rapper's second album, released late last year, and it follows on from the momentum which he created by making an appearance Kanye West's "Touch The Sky" single, and coming out with a refreshing new Hipster Rap style with the track "Kick Push", which showed a new variation in rap which had taken influence from skater lifestyles and Hip hop culture.
I only like Lupe Fiasco for his music, because he never seems to do well at any live events and is always seen to be arrogant in everything he does (taking after Kanye), but his style is so fresh that you have to take notice. Kanye and Lupe were part of diving a new Hipster Rap sub-genre to Hip hop which has acts such as The Knux, Kidz In The Hall and The Cool Kids, but neither of them are directly linked to this, it was more them showing that you ...
Advantages: Good Selection Of Food, Value For Money Disadvantages: Not A Lot For Vegetarians
The last few years have seen a trend of "All you can eat" style Buffet Restaurants appearing in Sheffield where I live and to my knowledge there are now at least three Chinese and one Indian within the city centre.
The Jumbo is a large Chinese Buffet and it was the also the first of the bunch to appear about three years ago. It is in direct competition with another Chinese Buffet nearby called No.1 which is larger.
I have been to the No.1 a couple of times but I much prefer the Jumbo which I have visited many times, the most recent of these visits being just a couple of weeks ago.
THE LAYOUT
The Restaurant is situated on two different levels with a small Bar area located just inside the doorway.
The food is located at the back at of the room on the ground level, with the tables positioned in front of this area. Whilst ...
Advantages: good variety, great lyrical content Disadvantages: very long album, let down by a few songs
on the ears and uplifting, but make sure your bass setting is low as you wont hear it properly otherwise. It's very reminiscent of american football games and i always imagine cheerleaders and the football players when i hear this track. it's great fun and great way to finish the album. Lyrically its not awe insprigin, but it's a nice tune about his love and respct for his lady.
My rating: ***** 5 stars - will put you in a great mood with a smile on your face.
Overall, the album is great. I love Lupe Fiasco, he even has his own playlist on my Ipod. It will be interesting to see where his next album goes. The Cool is well exectued, however, it IS let down by a few tracks and given that the album is 18 tracks long, they could have afforded to be cut. I'd recommend looking on Lupe's official website and reading the Bio's of The Game, The Cool ...
