standouts for me have been: mo money, runaway, forbidden fruit (although he uses the same loop as q-tip, this ronnie foster sample has always been a favorite and this is a great homage) chaining day (best beat on the album imo), and the nas joint.

cole comes off pretty corny at times, and i can understand how people make the ambien jokes, but this is still pretty good/not bad. sometimes he gets real and deep with it (pause) but it's a good effort for a mainstream artist. the production is definitely in the vein of timbaland, and i have to applaud him knowing he's done all of the joints himself.

i give it a 7-7.5 outta 10. i would like any of you to argue and say this isn't a fair and balanced review/synopsis.

:salute:

Halfway thru and....I don't know what album the haters was listening to but this is hard. Cole really stepped up his production and he isn't wasting lines on lots of worthless punchlines.

The lushness of Runaway's production is :ohlawd: can't believe that Bernstien Bear b*stard produced that.

Enjoying this so far....It needs more :krs: tracks to catch that A+ tier Wolf is on.

This is dope. Way better effort than the first joint, so how can you complain when you can really see the artist progressed both production and flow wise.
