Need mixed by Ali to remaster it
Might be my personal favorite
Told the story he aimed to without being pretentious in the slightest
Production was great on every track.
Title track is one of my most played songs ever, so amazing.

Fr bro
No skippables at all
Change is in my top 10 Cole songs
I b**** about this a lot but i feel like the general reception would be better were better if the mix and master were louder
My only gripe
Great album
His best easily imo
Wet Dreamz was suppoaed to be on their as well
And Premeditated Murder was meant to be on his 2nd album
Makes sense lol
Wet Dreamz was supposed to be on SS? Wow I didn't know that

Yup
All that post is facts
We never got Night Rider either
it wouldnt have been if he didnt do 1000 interviews talking about the "classic" he was making
Niggas on KTT really think He Let Nas Down when everybody was bumping Lights Please and Work Out back in 2011
Can’t Get Enough >
Thank Me Later has the same issues and it might be even worse

Ye I appreciate them, but I’d go as far as saying they’re the worst in their respective discogs
Cole and Drake both dropped s*** debuts
That’s why Kendrick will always be better. He dropped a classic straight from the rip
Kendrick doesn’t have to be embarrassed about any of his projects.

Part of why gkmc was such a big deal was because it was the first time a major rapper even had a good debut in years. All of the dope rappers to come out in the late 2000s and early 10s came up with mixtapes and then the labels ruined all their debuts
Album is better than anything hes put out in the past 5 years lol hasnt had a good project since forest hills drive
The story goes he walked in with a more traditional J Cole album and Hov was like “nah this won’t sell”, and he was right. People were not looking to Cole for the deep cuts his first album out. Everyone wanted to see what kind of hits he could churn out.
I they weren’t. Just like they still aren’t.
He has a great fan base that’ll buy anything he releases especially the deep cuts. Same back then.
