meh part of me thinks people just dont want to move on. there are some dope rappers that can really spit and people ignore them due to the stardom of the big 3. zoomers and millennials cant move on to me.

hes from the south. every1 loves T.I down here. arguably top 10 DOA

s*** get deep as giveon

I'm not mad at The Villest using The Realest sample used by Mobb Deep.

I usually dislike remakes but this is good, it works.

"Drake's scorpion"

"Go outside"

pick one b****

throwbacc

nah kendricks verse dont work on this. but i peep the vision

ok that old dogs with 24 is WILD. would easily go diamond in the south

Doesn’t work

I like this album a lot. I think Cole did right to not leave much on the cutting room floor--besides that one song niggas keep posting that tweet about that we didnt get or whatever

Seen a lot of mixed reactions over the end of Disc one all the way through Disc two. A lot of what people think are weird choices on this record I think was Cole going: "I don't want to later regret not having put this on my last album" Even if it sounds bad or doesn't make sense to other niggas, it's not like artists don't make music for themselves first and foremost anyway

Like I've seen so many niggas go "Really? You're going to put this on your LAST album we'll hear from you?" I'd be like nigga yes, it's MY album tf lol

Who tf iz u is crazy hard

8.5/10

it's going to be a highlight of live shows watch

Dope track.

Cole and Omen always had good chemistry with each other.

and tbh i dont even know if this is his last

between the hov dropping reasonable doubt last line and other lines in this album that sound like cole isnt finished yet, i dont know if he's just gonna drop eps in the future or lil mixtapes on his website or whatever

i personally never understood the idea of saying "this is my last album" or even implying that--because I can easily imagine this nigga when he's 48 or something, having lived plenty of life since this album and wanting to do another one, but effectively shooting himself in the foot by marketing this as his last full project

For real
In art, you gotta let people do them, and especially for Cole who always felt pressure to be something that people viewed him as, or chase the success of others, it’s good to see him making music on his own terms, which I think he has been for the past couple years, but especially on here

freddie ft on the villest woulda been fire

ppl hate the let out? understandable I guess but i dont think hes ever made a song like that I think its dope

oops

yeah I feel like that was an overarching little meta narrative happening on the record too, but at the end of the day he has to be himself and live in his own skin, so putting songs on the record that he probably really liked or knows he'll look back fondly on--like prolly these romantic cuts about his wife n stuff--he made them knowing everybody wasnt going to gel with them. cant please everybody

this album being mixed reception wise also goes in hand with the very concept of falling off as well

2nd half of 39 intro is amazing

F*** what you heard b****
