    It didnt take 2 years to go platinum it took 2 years for them to certify it and now its 6x platinum with a diamond song on it. Its one of the longest charting rap albums ever

    Tour was so packed he had to add more dates

    And 10 years later it still gets brought up, ya keep tryna rewrite history

    Wet Dreamz is 9X platinum too. Takes a special kind of record for a boom bap storytelling song to be that successful in the modern era. Tired of people trying to dismiss that song.

    Nah the revisionism about FHD is crazy

    I think it’s a solid project but this idea that it was some instant classic that had massive impact is crazy

    And I know some dumbass Cole stan gonna reply to this by making up a bunch of s*** like I didn’t live through the album dropping

    I didn’t think it was an instant classic when it dropped back when I was in high school, but I remember being majorly impressed with it after how ā€œmehā€ I found the majority of Born Sinner to be. The production in particular was a massive step up.

    I think overtime it’s definitely the closest album he has to the ā€œclassicā€ label. Emphasis on Album because I already know what the deal is when it comes to the mixtapes.

    he is 10000% doing that lol he already hinted at it in that post today "made with intentions to be my last" it's his Black Album moment

    i think this gives him the opportunity to come back eventually.

    Conway and Stove actually do have some incredible projects but Griselda workrate obscures all of that

    Yeah we know No Role Modelz is a big song in the streaming era but it took off years later because of TikTok and s***, back when it dropped the song was treated like an ok J. Cole song

    "As of December 2016, the album has sold 1,240,000 copies in the United States."

    never personally got the hype for FHD since it dropped but i was fully a Dot stan back then

  • Friday Night Lights was the last Cole project I wanted to hear more than one or two times

  • sfsorrow

    we need a PSA if this is his Black Album

    We need a "Renegade" too.

    EDIT: Oh snap, my bad. "Renegade" is on The Blueprint. My bad.

    he's for sure going the jay route where he drops top tier features every so often and keeps the idea of an album on the table

    Kendrick had the best rollout of all time so I'm guessing under. Tracklist longer though
