morale honestly had worse initial reception
Definitely, I hated it at first was literally heated lol
But like by my fifth listen it clicked and I realized it was actually phenomenal
A lot of people are too ego invested to question their initial reactions to s*** though so if it doesnāt land immediately it will forever be ass to them and they feel like defending that opinion is standing on business lol
I aināt like that, Iāll express my initial grievances but I always leave the door cracked for me to be wrong
Cole failed miserably at his thesis statement

off first listen there's some dope stuff here, but if you weren't really a cole fan before this this is not gonna convince you otherwise, not the undeniable classic that it needed to be after the beef, Don't know why he decided to be his most risky with his very last album. Also why you making an album for that long isn't always the best idea.
He doesn't care about public opinion or non Cole fans anymore
He freed himself from that burden
most interesting part of Coleās career is how heās consistently only released mid but somehow convinced the next gen that heās their OG & should be respected when he was always Jae Millz tier
Hollon did you say Jae Millz what the f***
i will never forget logic making a literal mf doom masked alter ego knockoff album called Doctor Boom or some s*** and pretending he wasn't even thinking of doom when he made it
Doctor Boom
I get it. Like I said he raps phenomenally. His skill to me is genuinely top 5.
Honestly I only avi posted bc I thought it was funny
Cole lil broād Lil Pump during an interview and used that to jump start his career as a veteran rapper
Well he was right and is now a veteran rapper so yea
Disc 29 10/10
Disc 39 8/10
Gotta sit with Disc 39 more but Iām fully sold on Disc 1 being the best thing Coleās ever done.
Hollon did you say Jae Millz what the f***
MILLZY BABY
most interesting part of Coleās career is how heās consistently only released mid but somehow convinced the next gen that heās their OG & should be respected when he was always Jae Millz tier
I agree with everything but the Jae Millz part lol
More like Big Sean or Wale, Cole is at the same level of artistry as those two but for whatever reason has been elevated to top-tier status.
There were some unique moments on here for him but heās always been a traditional rapper from the school of someone like Nas. Lowkey canāt stand the āwas it experimental? Who did it inspire?ā Type conversations because Iām like sometimes itās not that deep just enjoy the music
Doesnt mean it's bad, but it does say something about artistry imo
Esp if you pull it off
Disc 2 shouldve been the true might delete later
Disc 2 is gonna be a grower on alot of people
I can already see it
I agree with everything but the Jae Millz part lol

Sean & Wale shouldāve pushed artists the way Cole was so theyād be seen as OGs too
Cole failed miserably at his thesis statement

Nah this album clears Coleās discography by a wide margin. Even if Disc 39 drags it down a bit.

Cuz heās a much better rapper lol

Thatās fine. I get it but itās one of those things to me like know who youāre dealing with before it drops you know? Like if he dropped a country album or some s*** Iād be like damn I was not expecting this but all of this was def what I expected it to sound like with a few surprises here and there which were nice
Nah this album clears Coleās discography by a wide margin. Even if Disc 39 drags it down a bit.
Disc 39 is why he failed
Nah this album clears Coleās discography by a wide margin. Even if Disc 39 drags it down a bit.
He's had higher highs even on the bad albums and we have to judge these albums as a whole not just the parts we like
He has so many story songs but I donāt care about what heās saying. If the story catches you the song is good, but if it doesnāt
This is true for alot of people
Glad you were able to communicate this
