even Drew Brees is one of the greatest ever with only one super bowl ring

I don’t hate this comparison.

Feature run!

Come home with me > FHD
Purple Haze > FHD
C2 > FHD
C3 > FHD

EASY MONEY BRO LOL

Ok that might be a bit harder to defend ngl

C2 ad C3 maybe

Absolutely not to the first two and I love those albums

Bro, how you saying "There's been hundreds of thousands/millions of rap albums over the past 45 years" to prop Cole's album up but you're unwilling to accept the possibility that those underground rappers could be better?

He deleted all his other posts on IG. He only does that when he's about to release a project.

Might Delete Later was just a teaser for the Fall Off

It's coming sooner than you think. I would say the middle of 2025.
If we're lucky, we might get a Drake, Kendrick, and Cole album all in the same year.

Hope you’re being sarcastic there.

J Cole is a weird person to ask this about

I hope it comes for you

I personally do not think it will ever release.

Fall Off was clearly meant to release this year but beef and backlash derailed the release

C3 maybe

Come on bro go compare the tracklists rq to refresh your memory

FHD is pretty mid sorry

90% of those underground niggas will never attain a big enough audience to even perform live for, so how do you know that they're better at performing live

Let me know when there is a release date for the album he’s been teasing for 6 years.

I doubt The Fall Off will be Cole final album fr

Bruh gonna pull a Hov

Bro you really putting FHD over Purple Haze?

This is a tale as old as time my friend.

Used to get in heated debates back in the day regarding mainstream vs underground artists bc a lot of dudes back then just weren’t aware of non-commercial mcs

At a certain point I just put the two in separate categories of measurement otherwise you end up in an infinite loop of debate

Mainstream vs mainstream mcs

Underground vs underground mcs

It’s a bit disingenuous to not give the current big 3 their flowers for their accomplishments. They’re all nice in their own ways

I believe this is factual. Especially both carters. I’d say C1 too.

I'm not disagreeing about Kendrick being up there as a live performer, I'm talking about your post saying underground album number whatever isn't better

crowd size never determined live performance presence.

Niggas knew Janelle Monae was a great performer back when she was in the suit lol.

Most underground rappers just walk around the stage performing. Their mic is on so you gotta give them props than most but ppl like freddie gibbs, peggy, and kendrick exude stage presence.

This was good bt nothing too crazy right?1st verse was fire

no rapper really retires, he can do a whole anniversary tour in his 50s & 60s if he wanted

The Cole album I enjoyed the most and got the most plays from me was Off Season.
