I’ve never been too confident of a person, but I’ve never really been one to have too many problems with myself. Lately though, my insecurities just seem to keep piling up to a point where I can hardly even look myself in the mirror. I can’t stand letting myself drown in self-pity when I can be making an effort to change things, but sometimes I’m just so tired of it. Tired of always having the odds against me. Tired of always being the one that has to change to accommodate the rest of the world, since whatever I am is never good enough for anybody and this world has me pretty much convinced that I’m not good enough for me either. I don’t know what to do with myself.

Would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve done?
And would you need me
If I told you what I’ve become?
‘cause it’s so easy
To say it to a crowd
But it’s so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud..

If I’ve ever had a conversation with you about this man, it’s clear that I love his work, almost everything about it. He’s one of the few “mainstream” artists that I’ll actually support and buy his album.
Now that it’s been said that F&L2 is supposed to be released sometime in July, I don’t have high hopes for it. Lasers was sort of a let down (personally, I give it a B). It just wasn’t him. If you listened to The Cool or F&L, more specifically The Cool, that’s who he is. Not to be completely generic here, but his lyrics aren’t of the norm. He’s telling you what’s going on in the world. He’s spreading a message and unless you sit there and listen to what he says, you’ll only bop your head to the beat (which isn’t anything bad, or anything). Lasers was more or less for the general audience; the ones that’ll listen to the fluff on the radio and such.
I’m hoping that F&L2 does well, and I’ll definitely go buy it, but I’m hoping that it lives up to the title it has as the Great American Rap Album.
And if he decides to “retire” after he releases F&L2, that’s okay too. He’s done his job and left his mark, and that’s all anyone can really ask from an artist.
