j cole has the personality of a paper bag with a smiley face drawn on it

This is honestly the way

Niggas be arguing what other people think of the music

I hate yall niggas man

Great album but idk bout classic

True but The Black album was also very impactful in its own right.

I like the offseason a lot it just feels like it didn’t have that extra something to push it from being a good album to being a classic

The Off Season is the best rap album of the decade so far

Arguable depending on what criteria you rate for sure

Put an M right on your head you Luigi brother now

Just not very memorable

Fhd and fnl are clearly classics what lol

Ignoring that it sold a lot + no features gimmick, what about them makes it a classic?

Different times, people cared more back then

Expecting a whole bunch of people to care about a nigga making a quality rap album with no gimmicks or no major hits is asking a lot these days

I think having an iconic single or two is really the only thing The Off Season is missing.

Not a good impact tho

Listen to more rap albums. For the love of god.

easily his hardest rapping imo

Besides them both being great projects

FNL is a staple mixtape from the blog era and along with the warm up are essentially what set cole up to be in the position he's in now

10 years later since FHD dropped and that album is still very successful and very culturally impactful

Pretty much put Cole in the top 3

And it's an album with longevity just like GKMC

Cole being the first major artist not named Beyonce taking the gamble of dropping an album on short notice when it was viewed as something only Beyonce could pull off.

Don't see how it makes either of these projects a "classic" but I guess you & I are both gonna have to agree to disagree

Wish my favorite rap albums got the same amount of admiration on here & online like Cole does with his discography lol

RT lolololol

FNL his main mixtape project that actually aged gracefully

As trendy as it has historically been to hate Cole on KTT, your favorite rap albums probably do get more love on here

Think some of ya forget that the most important part about a project being classic is its longevity. Niggas still having debate as if fhd came out yesterday
