The Cool picks up right where "Food & Liquor" left off, once again using his Muslim background and Chi-Town sensibilities to inform his perspective without being rigidly bound by either.
-
He makes UNKLE and Fall Out Boy sound fresher than Tricky Stewart.
-
This is rap of mesmerising, addictive quality, written and delivered by a master in charge of every aspect of his craft.
-
Though there's much to admire about Fiasco's idealism and poetic skill, he can also be annoying the way an excessively, politically correct person in your social circle can be annoying.
-
Fiasco approaches his second album as if it's his last chance to get all his conflicted ideas out into the open.
-
'Superstar' boasts a sanguine hook and a sophisticated mess of rhymes about fame and backlash and fandom and such. Unfortunately much of the rest of the record lacks this clarity, and while the first part of that “sophisticated mess” description remains valid the second part becomes dominant.

UncutThis simply sounds like junior Jay-Z. [Mar 2008, p.96]
