In Lupe Fiasco's world, the greatest art is the purest art. Thus after a colorful six-year career, which wrought three studio albums–the lyrical dissertation FOOD & LIQUOR (2006), its thematic successor THE COOL (2009) and controversy-drenched LASERS (2011) which features the hit single ‘The Show Goes On’.
FOOD & LIQUOR II: THE GREAT AMERICAN RAP ALBUM PT.1 is Lupe Fiasco's 4th release, it's much more than a mere sequel. Instead, it's an album with equal halves, one side is an American history documentary and the other is an honour roll rap skill exhibition.
