Done first listen...I really like this.
Consistently good songs throughout but a shortage of great ones. I don't see the whole "accessible" rhetoric being thrown in here
nikka said verbal slights using "fakkit", "retard", said fukk jigga (twice) and Biggie and said "I'm bouta go and join the illuminati.... fukk everybody" all on the same track....the fukking first one 
It's the complete opposite. This album is very personal. The only marketable songs are the two singles so far, both ironically are songs for da bytches.
Coolest thing about Villmatic is how it sets the tone for the album. our Cole is doing one big heel turn. people thought he was a safe and accessible artist and now... "allow me to reintroduce myself" nikka did say he was studying Machiavelli too
it stays consistent with his theme of "can't lose my SOULLL" theme of this tape. Cole's emblem and a running theme of his music is duality and trying to find/keep his balance. sinning yet trying to remain a good person. this album has him aligning more to the dark side. it's an interesting to me at least.
The big breakthrough is that his beats are finally catching up to his talent. Makes the album consistently good, nothing I really hated. Because his album so personal it aint too diverse content wise. He's going thru the "jaded with fame" phase of his career which we just followed Drake out of. I think this is gonna be a running theme of lot's of dudes sophomore LPs. Cole does well on it because he raps about a few of his experience.
Overall I'd letter grade it A- or so. I dunno if this album will age well. But worth a listen. Might even buy for the bonus tracks.

I'm listening to the album now so I'll reserve judgement on that.
but just some thoughts on that Let Nas down record. shyt is so weird to me.......I don't understand the mentality. At the end of the day, J cole doesn't work for Nas...what you worried about letting that man down for? Nas ain't paying your bills.....shyt if you're worried about letting someone down, worry about letting Jay down....he gave you your shot. Legend or not, do you....This shyt is borderline gay. Dude is a grown as man worried about letting another man down.....WTF.
Nas is my favorite rapper but he's not worried about letting Rakim down, he's out for those checks. I've seen NaS haul off and diss The Roots & then go do a song with Ja Rule & Ashanti.......You're worried about letting him down? You're talking about a guy who will go on MTV Diary and say he's not doing beer ads because it's bad for kids then go get a Hennessy endorsement 10 years later. I can't imagine basing my self esteem on the opinion of someone has hypocritical as Nas. Get the fukk out of here man.
I grew up on late 80s, 90s rappers....nikkas had a I don't give a fukk mentality. Ice cube said, "if you don't like how I'm living then fukk you." I miss that mentality, not this insecure, I have a dream and looking for approval mentality. shyt's lame, go take yours.
That said, the beat is crazy and it's a well put together song.....basically kanye big brother part 2.

Good job Cole
I will say the Nas song name dropping could be left out but hey gotta repent to the Gawd

i let nas down
"Therefore I write from the heart
Apologies to OG's for sacrificin' my art
But I'm here for a greater purpose, I knew right from the start
I'm just a man of the people, not above but equal
And for the greater good I walk amongst the evil"
