Sorry Common. Sorry Kanye. Lupe Fiasco has taken over the Windy City. "Food and Liquor" witnessed Lupe sucessfully finding his identity and niche as a rapper. Early singles from his forthcoming "The Cool" suggest he is now expanding upon that identity and setting himself apart further, with a sound and rhyme flow unique to himself.
"Superstar"
"Dumb It Down"
Unfortunately, he still is victim to second-tier production. When he finally is able to escape low-budget beats, and is able to actually get production up to the level of his rhymes, we'll be looking at a triumph on the level of Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury" and Cannibal Ox's "The Cold Vein".

Forget the south, east coast or west coast Chicago is where it's at. check out Consequence too.
Consequence has been very good in the guest spots I've heard him in, but I've never actually heard any of his solo albums. Any recommendations?
He's only had one solo album, it's called "Don't Quit Your Day job". There are quite a few of his songs on Youtube. If you can find the album somewhere you should definately buy it, i'll pay u back for it.

hell hath no fury is a bangin record
I actually purchased Food and Liquor in a store for money, but I was disappointed by it. Not grimy enough for me, I guess.
