    It's cool, but it ain't "2014"

    Unintentionally created a classic with 2014

    Scrolling through the thread and seeing people unanimously acknowledging the fatigue setting in >>>

    IT’S ONLY LIKE A HANDFUL OF MUSICIANS THAT CAN PULL OFF DOUBLE DISCS (and like 1 or 2 of em are rappers, shoutout to my nigga KRIT. The whole artform of lyrics coming at you just inevitably will eat at you over a runtime of almost 2 hours. Vince pulled it off cause lot of summertime tracks was short)

    KRIT raised the bar so high when he dropped 4eva is a mighty long time, will forever be the gold standard for double albums for me.
    I lowkey think its better than AEOM and LAD

    you know we're all old you guys are struggling to be awake past midnight omg

    There is something to be said that albums like this woulda benefited HEAVILY from the Tyler method of dropping in the morning tho.

    Everything doesnt need to drop on midnight.

    Jcole is good at storytelling but his stories aren’t good.

    A good story has highs and lows, tragedy,triumphs and all other emotions evoking elements.

    He has the best concepts in the game, is the best at rapping skill wise but lacks the passion because of his bland story.

    SAFETY - is such a good concept but fails to be great like a STAN was because the story doesn’t lend for any climaxes.

    THE LET OUT - Again a great concept and perfectly set up with DRUM AND BASS but again falls flat. Because of weird musical choices but also a story with no real climax.

    Of course not. I’m old fashioned so I prefer albums I can revisit without them feeling like a chore

    He's at his best when he's rapping-rapping.

    This melodic s*** ain't it (imo)

    Album could've been his best if he cut down the tracklist.

  • Fantastic album for me but my only gripe is how long it is and run a train

    I like almost every song but with how long they are and how many tracks, it’s really long , which i guess i understand if it’s his final album

    Cole keeps getting s*** on for preaching the same message which is that this rap s*** and violence is pointless

    People keep exposing how lame they are for thinking he’s corny for sticking to that message over and over

    Dont think ppl saying he’s corny for it as much as they are saying his writing style makes the way he does falter.

    This album is the best he’s been at addressing it. 1st verse of Bunce Road Blues might be one of my fav verses of his.
