== Background ==
In 2011, Wale named Fiasco's Food & Liquor to be his 18th favorite album, with the song "American Terrorist" being his favorite track from the record. He told Complex, "I can't tell you how big of a Lupe fan I was when he first came out. I didn't know a damn thing about skateboarding, but I was like, 'This fly Chicago n*gga man, he's spitting. For real.' That Revenge of the Nerds mixtape? Fucking crazy. And it was the start man. People think Kanye started these new n*ggas. But Lupe Fiasco started all of this shit for us to get a chance and for Complex to really fuck with n*ggas like us. I can't even really compare it to B.o.B. and Meek, because they're more street-based. But for someone like myself, Cudi, or even my artist Black Cobain, that kind of gave us that other look."Ahmed, Insanul (May 4, 2011). "Wale's 25 Favorite Rap Albums". Complex.
