Lupe Fiasco uses his lyrical gifts to address topics as diverse as young skateboarders in love ("Kick Push") to the damage that words can do ("B***h Bad"). “He Say She Say” masterfully uses the same lyrics for both verses as he relates the struggles of a single mother (verse 1) and her son (verse 2) pleading for the father to be a part of their lives.
Album recommendation:"Food and Liquor" (First and Fifteenth/Atlantic, 2006)
