I really wanted to jam this and be like "This is Cole's essential album"...but it's not really compelling. The 90's beats remakes, the forced lines about going hard on hoes, weak hooks...just little things throughout the album that should've been paid more attention too, smoothed out or removed to tighten this up.

Cut about 4 or so tracks too and it'd be a better listen.

"Mo Money" sounds like some Hi-Tek shyt. Im sure he flipped that for Kweli at some point. Anyone ID that sample?

Nice watch! No more Mr. Nice Guy. Hello, Mr. Nice Watch

or

I be on my shyt, and look at, all the hoes love it
Got a hundred fifty bytches in the club starin' at me
How that feel? very happy!

:whew:

I didn't know Cole had it in him.

Nicca dropped a certified classic.

This is the type of album that we'll still be bumping next year. I'm putting this right up there with Kendrick's.

This is coming from a J Cole hater. Nicca has the personality of a popsicle stick. I was expecting some Nyquil Music, but instead received a blessing from the rap gods. :blessed:

Mo Money is THAT beat. Should have been just a cypher type track with Kendrick, Drake, Joey Bada$$, Wale.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
This album is gonna age like wine




Exactly... i don't understand what the pessimists are begrudging about.



This is a VERY SOLID album. I'm no Runaway and NO FILLERS YET. Even that Miguel-blessed track is a gem (just heard it for the first time tonight).


Wow...


We're getting some exemplary music this month. When that Ye drops - some blood pressure gonna rise.
