Nicely done! Great execution.
As always my problem with Cole although he is a goat is the production is often fedora music.

It always confused me when Cole talked about being disappointed in his debut.

Songs like Breakdown and Nothing Last Forever show how its one of the best debut albums of the 21st century.

White people freakin suck man

I gotta listen to Asap Rocky album for a
month now knowing this is around the corner

maybe the Nas s*** really did affect him but yea niggas tripping

Don’t be dumb is a double disc?

That’s just bonus tracks I thought

This it

For a long time I have thought Cole is a very capable writer but ends up being extremely lazy on the duration of a full album. If he can do this on a full album, he has rap album of the year

So he came out the gate biting DUCKWORTH?

i play this 50+ times a year

Cause it’s nowhere near as good as FNL nor the warm up. FNL was supposed to be his debut

37th listen

Raw thoughts

Also, the OG version of Breakdown when Cole sings the title on the outro

what they do today?

Because he went from cohesive classic mixtapes to chasing hits on his debut with a few good songs sprinkled in

hopefully its great

A white woman made J Cole

No features

There's like 10+ really great tracks on there and I even enjoy some of the singing tracks--the production is very interesting on a few tracks. Never understood why it's his most hated album Really great album imo that was on repeat along with Take Care and WTT all through the end of 2011. What a time that was

it’s just 2 songs on disc 2

Yeah some of those debut records are timeless.

For me Coles main problem has been trying to make music palpable for everyone (that’s where we get the lazy writing) when his best strength is just baring out

This song is good

HUH????

Takes two to tango bucko
