This goes hard. Production is nice, bars are tight. Ain't skip any tracks. Cole delivered.

This shyt IS TERRIBLE! WOWWWWWW

There's only 4 good songs.

The rest are fillers.

From the singing

To some of the production

To the topics almost sounding identical on every track

This shyt is beyond bad.

Most artist second album sound better because their more comfortable but this nikka

Most topics sounding identical says more about you than Cole.
Cause most topics are not the same but the underlying theme of the album is for the most the same, I.e. a cohesive album.

 

[SubLyminalz]

this album is amazing.

So as one of the people who gave one of the first opinions on this album, I just heard it clearly on bornsinner.com and hearing it like that sonically makes the album better. The first run through I probably paid more attention to his lyrics. Lyrically, he's still a notch down from where he was circa FNL. However, this is genuinely a good album and cohesive. Like I said last time around, if you're a Cole fan, you have nothing to complain about. But I don't know if it'll make you a believer if you don't like him.

It's one of those albums without a "great" song (maybe the first one or Let Nas Down which you all seem to hate just based on what it represents) but it doesn't have a "bad" moment either. It's just a good album and all of the songs fit that description too. Definitely an improvement over the first one, but a song like Breakdown off his first album is better than just about every song on this album. It's also definitely "mood music." I feel like it lacks "pick and play tracks no matter the occasion" besides perhaps the two singles.

Good effort though Cole. I think his sales will surprise people. Very cohesive. On another note, it looks like Cole and Kendrick are quietly asserting God into mainstream hip hop beyond the superficial means for the first time since Jesus Walks.

Cole World.

Just to follow up on what I said here earlier, if No I.D. really did produce "Let Nas Down" then it's time we give that man his props. He never misses lately, that sax

I thought Cole produced every joint besides the two interludes.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Very solid album.

naw breh.

Cohesive is one thing but for it sound like your running out of shyt to say is completely different.

Cole just doesn't have "it".

I have tried to defend this man enough and everyone who was saying that he wasn't on par with drake was right

Defend him from what?
And doesn't have what?

He has good reviews, steady fan base, hit records, respect by legends and the younger artists and sells a lot of records.

The fact that some people don't like him is whatever everyone can't love everyone, Drake was voted the least favorite rapper in that facebook tournament and J. cole/TDE had the least people disliking them.

So if you don't like him you've not got to defend him, you are in the small minority of cats who don't.
There is no need to defend, it's like a Lebron hater feeling the need to defend Lebrons MVP title, completely unnecessary.

Just starting this album off, but this shyt is sounding nice so far. Seems like Cole might have delivered.
