"No cringeworthy lines to turn everyone off"

ehhhh, danity kane line was a bit lol.

also just because you hate it doesn't mean wet dreamz aint a great song.

He did. U just finished ya first listen run it back some more

Same

Wet Dreamz is cool for the first listen but there's no replay value tbh

I dont think anyone would seriously put this above FHD.

The highs on that album >>>>

Climb Back, Pride is the devil, 95 South, and especially Let Go My Hand have potential to go down as some of his best songs

Why is this not stickied

Comparing that danity kane line (which wasn’t bad IMO) to the villuminati or apparently lines is laughable.

And I don’t see how most people wouldn’t. Unless consumed by nostalgia

I lowkey like the master on interlude single more than interlude on the album. Think he should of done a similar master for every track on the album, adds more energy.

album release threads are not stickied. there’s a dedicated sticky thread for releases

You dont think you're consumed by recency bias ?

Whenever a new album drops you gotta let ppl get their hyperbolic statements out the way for a few weeks/months. Thats why we're getting alot of ''this is his best album ever''

This is cole’s Illmatic

FHD is his IWW

I would. And I appreciated Tf out of fhd.

I think it's the pace and the momentum in the album itself

Not a one listen review if I've been bumping it since release next to fhd 4yeo and kod before it dropping

Most of my friends wouldn't put it above FHD like I would.....but they're more of his casual fans anyways

Fhd been sentimental af to me too.

This real good. A little something to remind yall who jcole is.

Personal faves off first listen are Pride is the devil and Let go my hand.

Solid album from one of the GOATS of the rap game.

I'd say Casuals ---> FHD

Traditional hip hop fans? ---> Off Season

But that's the general pattern I noticed, ofc it can be the other way too

Kind of crazy 4yeo and kod aren't in the conversation at all even next to the whole nostalgia vs recency

Because they're trash albums and even some of my friends agree

Sample in Close is the same sample used in Wayne's Do it Again song.

Know I heard it somewhere before

I don’t get how some are saying Amari is trash that song is hard af to me

I mean maybe

But they had good concepts
