    That song is legit 10/10

    yup. possibly his greatest song in his career, i feel that strongly

    the range of emotions i go through from excitement, to reflection, to motivation to pure joy. s*** is sonically pleasing and some of the best work he’s ever crafted

  • Pitchfork didn’t like it so now I can’t like it

    Do people still pay attention to pitchfork? FNL and FHD are certified classics while the off season and born sinner are great albums. Those ratings only validate my opinion that these magazines are clueless when it comes to music

    That and the climb back are my favorite from the off season. Climb back had the lyricism while Trae the truth in Ibiza was very prescient for the moment.

    Lowkey songs like these are why I don’t take hiphop heads seriously. These songs check every box they claim to care about but they ignore it cuz it’s Cole

    if i could’ve curated this album, both those songs would’ve absolutely been on TFO

    i felt that strongly about the climb back until he created trae the truth in ibizia lol

    Born Sinner wasn’t the album it could have been…still a top Cole project to me but interesting that it was better

    great question. born sinner era i was inspired and making great songs, but it was also a lot of overthinking going on. decisions made from thought and not from the heart. So a lot of classic songs from the era got left off the album. I probably thought people wouldn't want to hear those types of songs from me on an album.

    Rappers need to do what Drake and Nas did and just drop loosies and unreleased songs for some compilation
    Just adds to classic catalog

    Title it Cole World - Ville Edition or some sht
