No matter what you think of ol’ boy’s comments about Tribe, The Cool (out Dec. 18) is well worth your money. Funny thing is, “Paris, Tokyo” is drawn from the same well that spawned some of Tribe’s early hits. Go figure.

    he is a potential GOAT for sure, he’s that talented, Lupe Fiasco will be in my top 10 if the Cool is as good as I think it will be.

    I can appreciate what Lupe is doing on this track. First time I heard it I thought about Pete Rock and Cl Smooth not Tribe.
