I respect it, but I was more so referring to how this sounds like his every other album lol. I thought he was building up to making something radically undeniable

Biggie's Life After Death exists
Nas's Street Disciple exist
Drake's Scorpion exists

Cole just did it today.

Go outside and don't be fooled.

I'm not gonna lie being a private person can work against you when you dont want to fully unpack who you are and work through your thoughts, issues and pain publicly like Dot did on Mr. Morale or Jay did on 4:44.

And that is not a critique on the music itself but the consumer ability to relate to these personal stories is easier when the stories are contextualized.

Disk 1 is good
Disk 2 is straight up unnecessary

I’m not sure why he
hyped up this album so much. Listening to the fall off, you wouldn’t know it’s the same guy that made fnl, fhd, and born sinner

Also someone needs to tell Cole to stop singing

middle class families make $30k

and also make $150k

so yea, the range is not comparable just cause they both considered middle class lol

Taking the best songs of 39 and adding them to the back of 29 would have made this album perfect.

Like a 17 or 18 track album.

No he doesn’t and I like wale more

Both songs are classic

This is why we hated folding clothes

Because bro if thats what you wanna do you dont HAVE to do this

Take 5 years off like dot

first impressions determine if there will be a second impression

second listen, its a 8 for me.

he said one that people actually liked, why’d you include Scorpion?

Bad Remix turned 13 today

Post your most played last year like you did the other thread

Family Matters top 10 and NLU nowhere in the top 100

Am I not a person

Ass

That song is not getting enough love

Semantical but both of yall are right

People do actually like Scorpion tho

yea folks need to realize they need to say upper middle, middle middle, lower middle, when they talk about that class. Cole was probably lower middle

Nah the one you posted in the Drake thread to prove you didn't like Kendrick Lamar lol

both classic

Check the s*** bro replied to. He was talking about successfully released not classic.

correct, you identify as a dog, it’s in your name
