8.5/10

great project. mayb even a modern classic

im sure im not the first to say this but a kenny feature would have been legendary

There was one supposedly before the beef

Need more no auto tune future

Real, my wife is one

Definitely

Think they their dynamic could’ve been great but honestly Mac was great with everyone

Always thought it would’ve been dope if he had joined TDE

Facts if he goes back to experimenting more like that I’d be more inclined to fw his new s***

started to get into the inevitable series, long episodes but gems throughout

It’s pretty solid considering the current streaming climate in hip hop. Didn’t Kendrick barely crack 300k with GNX? Seems like this is what should’ve been expected from Cole

Haven't been able to stop playing this album

Gnx didnt have physicals 1st week but yea harder to get those big numbers just off streaming

Kendrick did that without physicals. The Fall-Off numbers include physicals, which make up 115K of the 291K.

For context, The Off-Season did 282K total first week, also without physicals. 37K of it was pure sales (digital downloads), so that album did 245K in streaming numbers.

GNX did 319K total without physicals. 287K in streams and 32K in digital download pure sales.

The Fall-Off’s projected numbers are 291K total: 176K in streams and 115K in physical copies + digital downloads.

So The Fall-Off, despite being double in length, did significantly less streaming activity than those two albums, and that’s with streams counting more now since the rule change in January

Damn he really falling off. Glad bro accepted it and is at peace with it though. If this his last album it’s not a bad one to go out on

the nigga has dropped 28 songs and 9 features in between those projects

you can say he’s “falling off” but I think listeners are just overly fed and he even acknowledged that by pushing It’s A Boy back lol

I really like the album but I'm already kinda over it, is it crazy to say that Cole's music doesn't feel timeless? His earlier music felt more timeless but maybe it's his approach to songwriting these days
Seen a lot of comparisons to Mr. Morale on here and social media but gotta be honest when I listen to Mr. Morale now that album still sounds fresh to me somehow
Maybe I just need a break from this cause I overplayed it

The bots still in here s***ting it up

He rap Satchmo

Always said him and Thug are more instruments than rappers

Are there any quotables on this album? Feel like it really lacks bars. Only one that’s kinna hard to me is “my hand is afraid of the pen” one

And besides (bundle) Trav?

Don't really listen to Cole but I heard the Let Out off here probably my favorite song of the year so far. Is the rest of the album that good?
