Hotep Hymns was right there

Disc 1 was always dope to me but the other disc caught my attention more on first few listen

Only track that I can’t get into really is bomb in the vile

Lonely at the Top beat is insane

2nd half of Bombs in the Ville saved it for me

Heard Cole sleeping in a box tonight just to really feel it ya know

I think it’s way more generic to pretend to be deep and humble

Real, second half is great

Ay man

I'm still digesting the album a bit, gonna start to listen to the Inevitable pod series.. I love to hear the stories behind people's careers, and just to get that context, especially since he didn't do any press for the album..
been burning tf out of Old Dog and Run A Train

I’m tryyynnaaa find the one
whooo got awaaayy from meee

Man Up Above
Run A Train
Life Sentence
and the whole world is the Ville
Safety

I think I was expecting an album of cole falling back in love with hiphop, and instead got a record where he clearly sounds out of love with it

wish nothing but the best for him

Not many people do drakes sound, but drake 100% makes generic "drake" music. drake has been phoning it in his last three rap solo projects.

Never said drake doesnt do some things well

Y'all gonna have to learn that just because someone criticizes drake doesn't mean they're incapable of being a fan or enjoying his music

Got a feelin' that can't be stopped
Hugged up with you in the parkin' lot
Outside the whip with my s*** on a rock
Lips so soft with the strawberry gloss
You make a nigga fall like a Marbury cross
the flow on here is so catchy

Cole the more likable mulatto man lets keep it a buck.

Insaneeeeeeee post

I cringed at the “n-e-g-u-s” verse and the pac interview

Otherwise still in my personal top 5 albums

Drake and Cole are definitely 2 peas in a pod and earlier in the career a lot of critiques (e.g. big ghost) were very vocal bout his “still struggling even after i signed to the roc and got all this praise” type of raps

I like some of the untitled tracks better for it . Love him on fylo production . Wish he didn’t take all the captain Murphy album instrumentals then vault it . Knew he would have fun with beef like his eyes above or fsmh verses

Love the album more with each listen.. but I can’t argue against people saying it’s lacking substance.

Especially Cole as a 39 year old. So much bullshit happening in the world right now, and all these rappers are scared to talk about it

Ok well yeah ig he does a generic version of his own sound so I’m with you there I still think Cole’s sound is more generic though s*** is standard fake deep type beat rap

And it pains me to say that because lyrically and flow wise this nigga is crazy nice, the blizzard tape and feature run he’s been on is immaculate, s*** like port Antonio and plate of collard greens were immaculate even The Fall off is Inevitable was absolutely legendary level rap that’s why it’s like so irritating to me

First half of 39 intro really reminds me of TLB
