it's better than damn

crazy how people are trying to hate on lines from this or on the album generally just to keep up that dumbass cole meme, similar to how they treat sean

why do people create so much negativity just to seem cool

Nah, My Turn is full of filler and his feature run is inconsistent, but his flow and presence on the beat is unreal here. J Cole knew that he works so well for the song.

it’s aight. i don’t see the hype

Suffers from having pretty much no standouts, extremely bland imo. Slightly better than KOD but still mid.

Is it just me who thinks that the first 50 seconds or so of 100 mil sounds like a Saba flow - can't figure out what track it reminds me of tho

edit: this isn't a biting accusation I just forgot what song it was

not a big fan of cole like that, but this album was pure heat

i revisited the price of tea in china earlier today and it s***s on the majority of rap albums that came out in 2020 and 2021.

One of my favourites near perfect album, and to think he dropped manger on mcnichols the same year (even though it’s old)

Im goin to be honest w yall.. listened to it a couple times now and some tracks dont do anything for me anymore. They lack replay value

There are like 5 tracks that are amazing and the rest im like yeah cool. And lyrically or production wise they not even bad.. so idk whats up.. its just music for a certain mood i guess

i love everything about that album from the minimalist production all the way down to the abstract artwork.

not to compare off season to that, but that's just a diff level altogether. this is good but i want to hear next level for cole and i know he has it in him. this is closer to burden of proof, in terms of quality.

You play too much

W pride of the devil and hunger on hillside for me, and the intro ofc

95 south is going down as one of the best intro tracks of all time

THAT S*** KNOCKS

From the big commercial rappers prob yeah

Felt like this on the 1st pass. Now I feel like this s*** is a classic

When will people realize it’s literally impossible to unpack everything going on an album on the first run through. So many bars, flows, so much instrumentation for your brain to a***yze. Your opinion doesn’t really mean s*** until your are 3-5 COMPLETE listens in.

Incredible

I like the sequencing but this album is too fun on shuffle

Bas voice is nice asf I need to hear him in that bag more
