How is this

@EuroNymous he got cam on the first track

your name

crazy how climb back came out ages ago &is still the best song on this

Savage went very hard tho goddam

Good album but someone needs to tell Cole same thing sain jhn said to Vince

"no one cares about your music like that"

He made this album sound like it's some magnum opus that's going to change our lives yet it's just another 40 minutes of good rapping skills

and I say this as someone who was a massiiiive J. Cole fan around 2014FHD

nice 2 hear confirmation about the diddy s*** haha

How is it that Kendrick can drop a 10/10 album like DAMN. and make basically no fuss around it

And Cole is here dropping okay albums and always makes them up to be the biggest thing rap has ever seen

ok i guess i will like it but probably won't pick it up after week

i don't know what it was about FHD which made so replayable cause his last didn't have that affect on me

This is a solid outing.

I'd give it an 8/10 based off my first listen.

Yall need to step out your bubble man

Coles albums actually very important for a lot of people. Dont like Coles last couple albums but have to defend him here. You should go on any social media and find many people who say Cole saved their life and s***

yea i saw the features he needs that this whole double platinum no features gimmick wore thin for me

saying the industry will be on an ice pack isn't making a fuss?

I don't think Let Go My Hand is a masterpiece, the second half kind of goes off the rails, but it was dope to hear him on a chilly and sinister sounding instrumental. The songwriting was also non-linear, which was interesting.

I would like to hear some beat switches from time to time, maybe blending some guest producers in with his own beats to inject some energy. Showcase some talented lesser known rappers so the features don't feel tacked on. There's plenty he can do without forcing it.

The song topics are there, the hunger is there, he just needs to think a little further outside the box to get that flavor where it needs to be.

2nd track fine but not as dope as the 1st

He said all that bout the fall off

this album got you sounding shook asf what kendrick even got to do with anything? did he have a renegade verse on it that i missed

You can find people saying DaBaby's last album saved their life

I like Cole. I was BIG fan of his and he was my #1 rapper for a while so I know that people hate on him even when the music is good

and this is probably his best album since FHD but it's just not that good to hype it up for 3 years saying s*** like "this is my year" and "yall gonna see when this drops"

This is a good album. I enjoy it. But it's not life changing in any way no one is going to be talking about it like they do about DAMN. or Drake's album or whatever

no one has ever said that

maybe cole feels like this is the best he has to offer, at this moment. it's not fair to compare anything he does to kendrick, at this point. he's always gonna come up short, no matter how decent it is

literally nobody has ever said DaBaby saved their life

It’s alright, good album. Nothing special , light 7 for me, will listen again

if DaBaby saved your life maybe you should just call it quits right there
