Who else tackles topics like gentrification, incarceration, religious hypocrisy, capitalism, poverty, d*** abuse, tragedy and much more all in one album

And it’s crazy everyone at the time was saying Rocky doesn’t rap about anything

Easily the top 3 conscious rap album to come out last decade

Joe Fox carried

Cokeworld

Better than every Cole album

not quite but compared to what he’s perceived as it’s very substantive tbf, you have to say though, it’s a bit of an anomaly compared to the rest of his discog subject matter wise

Yeah Rocky had a wide array of topics on that album and got hella personal on it

Dope album

legendary album fr

perfectly encapsulates Rocky stepping into his place as one of the GOATS

Canal St. is one of his best songs to this day

In my opinion it’s a Top 15-20 rap album of the 2010s, super super underrated to me

Coke World: The White Line Story.

…and it’s literally a Bones song

True

alright let’s relax

Lmfaooooooo

I disagree with the substance part but I do think it’s a great album. Up there with the. EEG work of the last generation.

can’t have the Brit replying to me, no thanks!

Can't think of anything I learned about Rocky listening to this damn album and they're talking about substance lmao

Artistic substance maybe, but none of the lyrical substance

yeah it’s a good album though, but there’s nothing too interesting going on lyrically at all, Rocky always had the ability to approach topics at a pretty surface level, but he flipped them in a way with his flows that made them seem interesting

Rocky is like a more coherent Travis but he's still not saying s*** most of the time

TE$Ting has more substance on it than this album, by far

Yeah like he's able to stay on topic for sure, for someone like Travis thats rare

Canal St one of the best examples actually a genuinely great song

what does substance even mean. like if im just a regular dude working a 9 to 5 and have a dog and i rap about playing video games, karen from accounting, walking my dog, and bad tinder dates does my music have substance because it's genuinely about my life or does it lack substance because it's not about issues that don't necessarily affect me but affect people in my a community i'm part of. i'm not trying to be facetious or anything either i'm just wondering people's take on this
