Rhymfest cd Blue Collar- Rhymefest has come out swinging with his cd blue collar very versatile and metaphorical in many ways. Rhymefest got his foot in the door by beating eminem in a battle and having kanye west as a friend but far different from his stunting mentor kanye. Rhymefest is more of a lyricist and his ordplay and delivery are never off he has really found his nitche. By far besides the exception of Common, Rhymefest is the strongest mc from Chicago. He shines on such tracks as "dynomite (going postal)", "all i do", "sister" and "bullet". Overall I give this album 4 1/2 mics out of 5.
Lupe Faisco cd Food N Liqour- Lupe has found a way of portraying his style of music without having to sellout. Lupe excells as his worplay is strong and his creativity is amazing. With time Lupe has a chance to be a mainstay in hip-hop for a long time to come. He shines on songs such as "real" feat Sarah Green, "daydreamin" feat Jill Scott, "hurt me soul" and "american terrorist" feat Matthew Santos.
And the line comes down to Lupe has a more soulful album but Rhymefest is a better MC but I will say both are must have cd's as both of them are must have because they both show Chi-town is on a come up in the rap game.
