FHD by a bit of a distance.

I've been a fan of Cole since The Come Up, but my problem has always been his lack of brevity. His albums are always over an hour, and that is part of the reason people call him boring I believe.

FHD was the first succinct thing he's done, so it's no wonder people gravitated to it.

I heard born sinner when i was locked up and the edited version they sold us was missing skits and bonus cuts. Sounds much better without the skits and interludes. That being said forest hills drive is better because it flows better as a project and not a collection of songs. When i heard born sinner once i got out i thought it had a lot of extra shyt like the bloatware cell phone companies add to phones are phone companies add to android devices. Born sinner is a personal favorite. Great production, great songs but forest hills was the better overall piece of art to me.

Born Sinner is a so much of a better album than Forest Hills. FHD is wack to me. The bad singing combined with the "niche" songs only make it fun for the first time listening to it. After that the replayability goes way down hill. That " Love Yours" is arguably Cole's best song ever tho. Shvt like that is why I started rockin wit him in the first place. Born Sinner had its weak spots but it ended up being my favorite Album of 2013. I think Sideline Story is slept on too. It had some trash joints on it, but overall it was real dope to me. His best project will always be The Wam Up tho. Maybe he'll top it one day.
