Definitely piqued Coles interest
Niggas giving it a 4/10 like WHAT
Crazy work
7/10 easy
Thatās just so much lower than the hype and rollout suggested it would be though so I get it
Also The Fall Off Is Inevitable rewind jawn is so lyrically impressive it just felt like he was gonna fully take that leap and just be at that Nas like pen level the whole album and this is just not that
Itās personal and itās a good vibe, kinda bluesy and folksy in spots which is a cool surprise but it also has some of Coleās longtime flaws in pretty frequent supply (such as grating hooks on otherwise well written songs, questionable musicality, and general boringness)
Now we pretending nas got no quotables oh my delete the thread
2020 onwards he definitely f***ing donāt bro lmao be real with yourself
Reincarnated is 10x more interesting and well written than any concept song on here
First listen of that s*** was so crazy
I understand if its non illmatic and cause production Iāve seen that a lot and can kinda see why despite me loving Nas
he could've made a lead up tape with like 8-10 of these and made a lean classic out of the rest
Yeah honestly I really think he got to the point of just being tired of working on it and said f*** it

Paragraphs defending a 7/10 album where Coleās whole marketing was
āThis is my best album ever BY FARā
Wanting a message in songs is dumb?
I mean if he was just trying to make bangers id take it as that and I like music like that too
But he's like freaking out rapping and presenting it as though he's really talking about something while simultaneously having absolutely nothing of value to say about anything
No he doesnāt have to bring you into his life. Heās writing stories and to say he is not is disingenuous. What if I a brilliant song but because he didnāt tell you who Jermaine is makes you think it falls flat? We need to stop these think pieces. Hip hop is more listening, less talking unless you the rapper themselves.
Name a nas quote
I never sleep cause sleep is the cousin of death is one of the most memorable lines in rap. log off, get a job (preferably something not fast food), get some black friends, and shut the f*** up, dweeb
Why? You act like itās Taylor Made. I thought it was well done.
The entire concept of the song is honestly just embarrassing from a creative standpoint. It honestly made me appreciate Taylor Made more, and I didn't even think that was possible because that s*** was ass too.
Were all listening to a album and someone ITT is on grindr talking about munching on poo poo like a hungry hungry hippo
KTT realizing they donāt actually want experimental Cole music after all was entertaining to read tbh lol
Cole makes music in his lane for 15 years: bad
Cole tries some bullshit some works some doesnāt realize y depends on your actual tastes: still bad
ending your career with Ocean Way just makes no sense
Bonus track ā¦
