Climb Back drums...
:unimpressed:

Yea its a downtempo beat but man. There's no swing to this shyt. I initially said this is just typical weak Cole drum programming but according to twitter JetsonMade did the drums.

These sound like an intro and track 2. Hopefully the beats don't stay in this pocket. I need a climatic song from Cole.

At least it looks like he's getting some outside help with the beats. DJ Critical Hype gave Cole the blueprint when he put his verses over beats from The Neptunes; the songs sounded 10x better.

My bad. Those sound fine to me but man...The Climb drums are stale as fukk. I'd be with if someone like...prime era TI was rapping on that shyt. You basically need that southern drawl on there to fill in the spaces, but Cole kinda just blasts through with the rapping and it feels empty.

I like all the verses, some dope lines. Don't want to sound like I'm nit picking but this is like a staple failing of J Cole produced songs.
