well he tried and it's garbage, cole is at his best when he doesn't try to force s***, he's been too ambitious for his own good in recent years

deserved a diff rapper if i'm being honest lol

awful awful music

He’s made like 2 and both of them were misses

Would he have re-recorded it for FHD or left it as it was?

re-recorded for sure

I figured that’d be the case. Sidebar: I’ve always wondered how recent vocals need to be for an artist to use them on a new project. Like if Kendrick was cooking Mr Morale for 4 years or whatever, would vocals from 2018 have made the final cut or would he re-record the final songs before putting it out so his voice sounds consistent?

Song feels like a Sundance movie. A French Sundance movie.

Proof or it never happened

such a waste

Ain't going to lie the beat doesn't touch the games version - like father like son

But Coles best album for sure

aint no way. but if true would be wild ironic considering how much this place specifically hates that specific song.

The tweet he's answering where they're asking "whatever happened to Wet Dreamz?" is gone so you just gonna have to believe me. The replies are talking about other songs he's mentioned in interviews but didn't release if that lends any credit

People see it as hate but I’ve never been a big Cole guy because he just refuses to make the project he’s capable of making

The beat uses the impeach the president drums lol the amateur-ness of coles beats is charming but this beat wasn’t calling for anything special

I like his albums but I can relate. I've been hoping that the fall off will be that

He actually sounds a little younger on the track to me still but he probably did re do it

I think in most cases though the voice staying consistent isn’t too much of a concern. Like for Morale, Kendrick probably didn’t sound much different in 2019 from 2021, and different songs might have different vibes anyway so i wouldn’t doubt that there are some older vocals on morale

"This hip-hop beat isn't all that because it uses a sample"

That bass thump he added, the timing on that female vocal sample is done well, the little string section that comes in and out, the piano and choir on the chorus. It's a pretty great beat

Yea but for Cole the difference from 08 to 2014 is probably big. But then again, his vocals don’t sound much different from FNL on FHD and FNL was 2010 so who knows

It’s not that it’s a sample, it’s just like the most played out one ever lol
