Lupe Fiasco is arguably one of the best rappers of the moment. Although he has two excellent albums under his belt, it's been two years since The Cool. And apart from a guest appearance here and there, he has remained quiet while others absorb any spotlight they can muster (ahem, Lil Wayne). 2010 promises a third Lupe offereing with Lasers but until then Lupe has been nice enough to whet the appetite of the masses with a mixtape. While Enemy of the State: A Love Story pales in comparison to his previous mixtape work (the Farenheit 1st and 15th series in an a shining example of a mixtape that gathers attention), it still is nice to hear Lupe's flow and wit over some interesting samples (the lift of Radiohead is a definite standout).
