[Izanami]

So we going to act like a certain rapper from Compton wouldn’t have come up short on this premo beat?



So we going to pretend like as of today Cole is the best rapper alive?

I'm not sure what this means...

The Coli really have huge hate for J. Cole acting surprise J. Cole would ruin a feature as if he wasn't killing features for nearly the past two years.

he killed this shyt, nikkas buggin.

Cole went for his on this. I've never really checked for him like that, but when I got round to repeated listens

"We forgot we are the chosen
From hip-hop to astronomy, they copy what we showed them
nikkas be talkin' slick, but only try me over modems
In person they starstruck, they hearts flutter
I'm like the realest one you ever met
If you don't feel this one, give it a sec'
Go live a little, let the years pass

had me ....

especially looking back at the Lil Pump interaction.

I'm kinda hoping for a mix of contemporaries and people who Preme feels have carried on the legacy. I could see Anderson Paak getting off on a hook, Griselda, maybe even a verse from Meyhem, Rapsody possibly, as far as new cats. I'm sure there's a bunch I'm missing.

Just heard this track for the first time, reactions are

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Dear God Cole went in

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Were you Zonin while you were listening?

My favorite song on that album

 

[Steezy]

Guru was so special man.. Made Cole sounds like a random 90s rapper.

 

[Steezy]

After running it back nah Cole blacked

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Nice track. Rip guru.

 

[ShaDynasty]

I find Cole boring. It's no reflection on his technical rap skills but he's preachy, long winded, not funny or charismatic.

I can think of a bunch of rappers who would have sounded better and more commanding over this beat. That being said, other than Cole the track is dope and if the rest of the album is on that level and has less features (or just sticks to the old Gang Starr crew) this should be a good addition to their legacy.
