do one of each, i wouldnt steer you wrong

i lowkey think u were right about run a train being the best hook on there unfortunately lmao def grew on me the more i hear it

I’m about to cut up in this snow

Yeah I can see that for sure

Who tf produced the beat switch on WHO TF IZ U man

disc 29 is honestly among the worst work i think cole has ever done cohesively. it doesn't even matter if he's rapping his ass off on some of it. it's extremely uninteresting and repetitive.

disc 39 is fine and more in line with typical cole. i'm disappointed by the lack of creativity or experimentation. everything is so basic and reuses too many elements.

i get cole is in his heart someone who cares about rap and no one is really doubting he is a good rapper technically. i wish he would, instead of trying to continually prove he can rap, prove he is good musically. outside of some cool samples every now and then there is nothing competitive within the genre here. hell, even Logic's 'retirement album' was better than this in terms of accomplishing and showing objectively what he was good at and why he was famous, regardless of i personally think of him

Legacy so good man

This tape puts Cole in my top 3 fav rappers ever

i shuffled the album on my 2nd and 3rd listens

waaaaay more enjoyable experience. i dont think there’s a bad song on the album now. i should’ve shuffled on first listen like i normally do

album is better by just not listening at all

Enough time passed Disc 1 is 10/10 fr zero skips

MDL leftover

Also The Let Out is top 10 Cole

sorry you feel that way

having a girl you can share the listening experience with might help, idk

Who are your other 2?

NIGGAS. IS. NOT. HEARI...

nvrmind dawg

welcome bro

Album not bad. Just a lil underwhelming. Nigga we did not wait 10 years for this

i have a theory that this nigga didnt really start working on this fr until 2020 and that he’s just a liar

Incoming 4

"...where they apologize to each other and mend their brotherhood through cute Nicholas Sparks letters"

THE VILLEST 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Some classic OG pitchfork s*** right here. Miss when they did stuff like this

second verse is craaaaaazy

J Cole has always been a safe option and I don't mean that as a slight. If all three guys in the big 3 are purists, Cole was the most devoted to the playbook and that's how he got fans who were endeared by that commitment, while the other two were more open to experiment.
