I know the debate whether J.Cole has a classic rages on to this day but in YOUR opinion what type of music/style would he have to produce over an album for you to say he undeniably has a "classic"

Or to you has he found a pocket on a song/album that you think if he takes that direction it will help musically?

FHD is a personal classic to me. Just a really great album.

NOLA bounce album or hyphy music revival album

No debate

He has no classic albums

It’s debatable that he even has a great one.

the word classic has lost all meaning on this site

I'm a big Cole fan but I still don't think he has a classic album. FHD's impact was so big and still is to this day so a lot of people say that one.

I personally think the rapping J cole did on KOD and ROTD3 and his feature run showed how much better he has gotten in 5 years....J Cole hasn't made his best album yet

it's a certified classic among almost everyone, ktt just hates him for some reason

Cole has yet to drop his defining record

Cole doesn't even have a 7/10 album

Born Sinner

True.

FNL and FHD are classics

Enough people like FHD that it might as well be considered a classic

we could maybe say FNL or FHD is a classic... but idk about that. FHD lacks staying power, influence, and quite honestly, quality to be considered a classic. it might be considered down the road because of J Cole's relevance though. FNL has a greater case tbh

FHD is a classic and is regarded as such irl
But this edgy, contrarian site will tell u it’s not

FHD is going down as a classic regardless of how you personally feel about it
FNL and The Warm Up are classic mixtapes. That gives him a total of 3 classics

ppl probably gonna give him FHD and one of his mixtapes

I honestly think FHD is fantastic album quality wise. Only Cole album where I can play the whole album through with no problem.

FHD got too many duds to be considered a classic

Which tracks you consider duds?

FHD & Born Sinner

I always loved Truly Yours too

FHD is a classic
