Can't relate

MEMORIIIIIES DON'T LIVE LIKE PEOPLE DO!
THEY ALWAYS MEMBA YOU!
WHETHER THINGS GOOD OR BAD!
IT'S JUST THE MEMORIES THAT YOU HAVE!

Gotta be Guilt Trip for me honestly

I will say I always laugh at Ye's verse cuz that boy funny as s***

"She said can you get my friends in the club??" :ariscared:

"I said can you get my benz in the club??"

"If not, treat your friends like my Benz
Park they ass outside 'til the evening end"

Id agree if you didnt try to shoehorn cole into this conversation

Yeezus, if you were there in 2013, you know

damn good point, the production on Guilt Trip kinda hard to me tho lmaoo

Production crazy but everything else is like...yeah lemme get that instrumental only version real quick

Kids f*** with "TLOP" cause it's his most commercial sounding album & has dumb down lyrics that are catchy.

O.G.'s f*** with "Grad" if we want that mainstream sound cause

1. Bro has like... 5 career defining records on that joint

2. He was actually rapping about meaningful topics back then.

I like Pablo for the most part, but c'mon....

That's when he began to decline.

Going from his opus in "MBDTF" to that..

F*** outta' here.

I can see the appeal though.

Yeezus is the only good one

"We don't need to compare" or "All three can co-exist" bullshit. It's been ten years of them co-existing so no s*** they can co-exist, so just choose one and have a discussion.

This was real I hate people who say s*** like that lol

Really don’t wanna hear any of the three at this point in life

I don't get how folks could see the masterful rollout and art direction of MBDTF and those albums to TLOP and not see a change

Niggas tryna kumbaya s*** is why rap all buddy-buddy and boring these days. This gladiator s***, who got the bars? Who got the better albums? Get in the booth and lay it out on wax.

WAVES bro?!? That's an amazing song. Facts is also a banger

yeezus not close

Only one is my favorite Kanye song and it came from that era.

So I also really wish he finished that project

Born sinner! The opposite of a winner!

AMAZING? That’s too much lol what makes it amazing? Ye’s presence is mid, CB vocals is cool but mixed terribly. The best is cool though.

Facts did not age well at all. Cook instrumental by Charlie Heat though

I hated CB on that song lmao

Yeezus

what kinda question is this lmao
ones a classic, ones pretty good, and ones a j cole album

Sonically Yeezus is on another level

But in terms of enjoyment, I can thoroughly enjoy all 3 at different times depending on my mood

Red Dot Music and Objects in the Mirror are goated

Yeezus but Mac's album is pretty close.

The revisionist history for J Cole on here is hilarious though.

After FHD, everyone and their mother was criticizing Cole's music from 4YEO and onward.

People were accusing him of beign artistically underwhelming and stagnant. They were saying that 4YEO was a poor man's TPAB and KOD was preachy and ruined by Kill Edward's s***ty vocals.

The Off-Season was considered a return to form but it got overshadowed by a lot of rap albums in the 2020's and didn't really leave a huge mark for Cole. As much as people nitpicked Kendrick's album, I hear WAY more discussion over Kendrick's album than Cole's despite Cole's album being much more accessible with a 21 Savage feature and everything.

I feel like some people here are giving Cole props for "telling the truth" about Kanye on False Prophets and not actually holding him to the same high standards as Ye and Mac.
