KayTrayAll his albums are great. He’s got one of the best catalogues in Hip Hop.
No album with Mr. Nice Watch on it is great.

Even classic albums have bad songs on them. SS has a few misses but it’s a solid album.

His best album easy.

Dec 11, 2021·1 replyChubby GambinoWe need a more talented rapper to tackle the subject matter of KOD. We lost Peep, Mac and Juice to d**** over the last few years. It's a serious topic that needs to be addressed but unfortunately, J Cole not skilled enough to do that topic justice
imo its not gonna happen in a more extrapolated context because of what goes into the hip hop process and cultivation of talent. i think unironically someone like Future would theoretically be a good example of someone who explores that subject (even though elsewhere he glorifies it), i.e. X**** Damage. However he said himself he doesn't really do d**** like he raps. The problem with really exploring and tackling that subject matter more skillfully is you need sentimental attachment to it. It's why it doesn't make sense for someone like Cole or Kendrick to do it; they have never really been d***gies or been in the scene like that. A lot of old post-punk and rock bands honestly probably historically the best of tackling the subject matter, but unfortunately they were more exploring a very specific timeframe and d*** (usually heroin), so it's not as extrapolatable to hip hop. Mac is probably the best example of someone I can think of off-hand who really like skilfully and in depth explored the subject from a means other than aesthetically, but it's hard beyond that, I'm not sure who else I can imagine doing it.

Kendrick would've done a great job with it I think. He actually executes concepts well and explores them beyond the surface level.
I want to live in the alternate reality where J Cole saw the DAMN tour, got inspired and approached Kendrick with that idea as the collab album they should do. Would've been crazy and they both knew Mac
Dec 11, 2021Water Giver2 with FHD & Born Sinner
4YEO & Sideline are bad
Rest is ok
Crazy you got all this mid but he still managed to pull out a classic
- Dec 11, 2021·edited·2 replies
2014 FHD and The Off-Season are his good albums in my opinion. Born Sinner had potential to be really good if he would've included some of the songs from his "Truly Yours" series on it. (Miss America and New York Times for example)
He peaked on his mixtapes though. I wish Friday Night Lights was his debut album like he intended before things went left. I'm still looking forward to "The Fall Off" though, whenever it comes out.

His Truly Yours trilogy is his best work imo
All them together make a hypothetical amazing album

Why is the same beat taking two spaces on your 10 track album
I thought Ville Mentality was going to be hard af or at least similar vibes as VilleMatic, but nah some "How long can I survive with this mentality 
" horrible ass crooning and bad rappingI've been a fan since 2012 but that album is NOT it
I expected him to talk about his brother being locked up based on the title, but it's just a concept that doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Like wtf is Deja Vu in the context of this album?? 
Dec 11, 2021math fifty2 good albums, one decent one
2014 FHD and 4YEO are good. KOD is decent
Born Sinner kinda ass in retrospect
FNL and the Warm Up are good tapes

1 great album (FHD), 2 good albums (Off Season, KOD/BS depending on your preference)
The rest range from garbage to mediocre. BS and 4YEO both have some great songs on them, but they're also weighed down by some terrible songs
And Idk why tf some people on here insist on overrating 4YEO
There's legit only like 4 good songs on thereList me the "terrible" songs on BS plz. Curious

As I was typing that post, I had the exact same thought. They not really on d****, so they can't really speak on it to the same effect as Mac did. But they could maybe approach it from like a voice of reason stance. Like "This is how it's f***ed up the people around us and our community. This album is our effort to help fix this issue". Cole's mother was an addict, Kendrick addresses his alcohol addiction on U, so they would have some things to say on about it
It would be hard to do without coming across as preachy, but that was the perfect moment for their collab imo (if they'll ever make one)

That s*** would have me heated because he dropped an album with some stinkers but Truly Yourz had some heaters on them
And Cole lost for not signing Canei Finch to Dreamville, that production style suits him perfectly
