It’s someone else. I think his name is pronounced L.E. Dolla($)… he mentions it on his song, Grippin’ Grain w/ Big K.R.I.T.

jakefromthebean said this on July 15th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
the production on pilot talk was straight nasty… we’ll see if this is better like yall sayin
ovechkin yo said this on July 15th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
These r better beats due to the fact pliot talk is Overrated production wise
Y’all niggas r acting like PT had the greatest beats of all time.
Dose said this on July 15th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
honestly this cd jammin more than pilot talk and Ross shit—slim thug got a good artist with him
slauson said this on July 15th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
this is pretty good.
and to people talking about the title of the mixtape being the same as talib’s, get a life. All over music and time people have the same titles for projects, get the fuck over it, what has it got to do with the music.
Sayword said this on July 15th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
the only reason i said it was cuz shake or meka i dont remember were saying something about j.nic$ have the same mixtape title as freeway with stimulus package…i wasnt hating i was just pointing out the biased nature of it all.
jakefromthebean said this on July 15th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
@MarkClam the Dom Kennedy “1997″ beat was actually from a song called “Stay Down” that L.E.#. did on his first mixtape way before “From The Westside, With Love” came out… I think DSF gave the beat to L.E.%. first, but anyway, that beat is nice either way
and this mixtape is dope as fuck and definitely worth the wait

Jonathan Garcia said this on July 15th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
who cares about fucking talib kweli? his name should not be brought up in discussion with this.
anyway, just got home a little bit ago, can’t wait to listen. after being delayed for 2 days the anticipation has been building…
surgicalgloves said this on July 15th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
i previewed some of the first few tracks and it sounds pretty dope. flow is on point, beats are mad nice, cover is sick. hope this cat gets his name out there. does anyone know if he has a website or myspace or someshit?

dope tape, but everyone who said the beats are better than those on Pilot Talk is fuckin trippin. most of these beats are solid but shouldnt even be compared to Ski beatz production on Pilot Talk.
ovechkin yo said this on July 16th, 2010 at 12:35 am
this shyt is CRAZY… lovin these No Limit and old 3-6 samples.. if u from the south and grew up on Master P this will strike a nerve in the heart.. the SOUTH IS COMING BACK BABY!

@VAbeach that comparison is right on target
lars said this on July 16th, 2010 at 11:50 am
Yes this deserves Krit Wuz Here comparisons, but why are people comparing this to Pilot talk? That’s like apples and oranges… And Meka is there anyway we could get this mixtape chopped and screwed!?
rich said this on July 16th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
i just finished listening to this whole mixtape…..
Krit Wuz Here comparisons yes
Pilot Talk comparisons hell no
lars said this on July 16th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Some of you ‘hip hop fans’ are ridiculous comparing Talib Kweli to L.E.S. And while Talib might be a better MC, I’d rather listen to this…and this is better than Pilot Talk too. L.E.S. doesn’t break alot ground on the mic, but he rides these beats (production is ill) well. And Meka, you’ll jump on the bandwagon sooner or later you herb.
Columbia Village said this on July 16th, 2010 at 1:08 pm

can anyone post a .zip link to his crack musik mixtape?
his first mixtape was chill and so is this but i cant find a zip to the second mixtape
5oh3! said this on July 17th, 2010 at 2:16 am
Didn’t really think about the bit of the album name from Talib, that’s what it is – gonna happen. But to bite a legend’s NAME? That is foul, I don’t care how new you are LES been puttin down bangers that these new cats should be up on.
Sounds like the tape is hot though, guess I’ll be peeping. Message for the young cats comin up: Be original in givin yourself an alias.
Will Johnsen said this on July 17th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
So I did a bit of research from a chick he used to mess with and came up with this. His STAGE name is L.E.$ (L.E.DOLLAR). This came from his real name which is Lester. He’s from New Orleans, but has been living in Houston for a while. Either way, dope music from a new artist. We def need more of this.
jomaro said this on July 17th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Le$ not les I think it’s his actual name
Vabeach said this on July 17th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
@ the dope house: how long has L.E.S been on BHO?
256up said this on July 18th, 2010 at 11:09 am
