A lot of all on here should just gone ahead and say hip hop ain’t for yall lol

Pack it in

I mean I agree but I’m also not gonna knock people for having that discussion

I think Cole and Kendrick are 2 of the best story tellers oat

Feel like pac in Atlanta

ah word, didnt know that fr. really didnt know it had any impact outside of the video

frontin is a classic I wouldn't have wanted any other song as my first

LA culture is in dot just like it was in Nip wtf is the issue with Dot representing that and his spirit within the art form they both loved?

Brother please don’t do the Eminem fan s***

I promise someone can be a real fan of hip hop and also be disappointed by this

how you feel about disc 1 i feel about disc 2 lmao i think im just a mellow mfer and the song about his girl really resonates with how i view my relationship

Production is more or less uniformly great, and Cole’s technical skill is on full display. Still earnest, still not super clever, definitely not funny. His singing sounds good, which was a pleasant surprise, except for whenever it gets grungy

Idk if I’d call this a complaint, but in seeking to make the undeniable masterwork of his career Cole fell into the trope of borrowing from previous classics. Midway through disc 2 it starts feeling like every song is going to lean on a sample, interpolation, or generally emulating a more well-known / well-trod song

reported genuinely

What compelled you to write this rn? Did someone try to say differently itt?

I didn't wanna be the one to say it

Seen a post that said "Cole is just Black passing Logic" and a lot of s*** really started clicking lol

For what it's worth that Logic album was meant to be his "retirement" album just like this Cole album and I feel like they both did a good enough job at being that.

Unfortunately Logic ruined it by going on to drop three more albums after it each more unnecessary than the last but that's me.

Yes. Multiple people

Disc 29 was aggressive production and flow wise. Gave me so many pleasant gunit/mobb/eminem vibes, so at 12am that was right on time. By the time I got to the second disc I was pretty tired so the slower vibes felt like a drag last night. Went back and played the intro to disc 39 again today in the whip and he really left earth…cut like 2 or so songs off each of these and this is a 9/10. As is, 8/10 IMO. Very good album

Oh modern hip hop is definitely buns 🔥🔥

Niggas can only mention political issues as metaphors now 🔥🔥

Did people think Run A Train was Cole using AI? I’m still stuck on y’all not thinking that was Fewtch

Yeah I enjoyed the singing more than I thought I would. Like there were a few times when he started singing I was like meh but as the song progressed it got better for me

thats fair, didnt know people really felt something about that verse fr

Wasn't long before we got the typical "If you don't like Cole then you don't like hip-hop" post lmao

disc29 was really cool but i couln't finish 39
