Tbf some of this started in the 2010s

That’s the problem with zoomers and young millennials. Call everything classic. Started with Gkmc. Niggas can’t let that b**** breathe word to hov

I think it's natural to feel that way about an artist's later work

Ain't even been 24 hours

same vibes man Future spit the hook of the year

He definitely got better but he never had his early career GKMC or NWTS

Also if nothing Kendrick or Drake did after those albums didn’t impress you idk what to tell ya, That’s on you

its crazy how yall let j cole make the same song over and over and again but kill drake for it

i really like a lot of this, but even with the separated tl’s it’s hella bloated.

A few of the hooks are also god awful but Cole’s rapping and most of the production is all very well done so it’s not the biggest deal to me.

8/10, probably his best album after 2014FHD. Cut the classic talk

When Cole makes the same song you can at least hear that he put effort into it

i think this thread is proof people do kill cole for it lmao

Not that it didn’t impress me. Like Kendrick will always give us a great body of work, confident on that at this point

But I personally been lacking that feeling with their later works

But yeah Cole started at a lower point in comparison so that’s his advantage

lol why you being scary now

i been listen to cole since warm up he the least progessed of all 3

F*** DO YOU KNOW BOUT MY PASSION!?

F*** DO YOU KNOW BOUT MY PAIN?

man i havent seen this in forever

He does in all but name multiple times on the EP. And it's barely coherent

You sure about that?

If Kendrick and Drake are Pac and Biggie

Who does that make J Cole? Common?

I don't wanna judge before i listen to the whole thing but so far its that logic retirement album vibe

French

Rick Ross is biggie
