J. Cole - ''Born Sinner''-2013

[Rev]

I did not like J. Cole's first album much at all. In fact, the only song i really found replay value in was "Sideline Story".

But this one right here is damn good, and hopefully it's only the beginning for him. I can really listen to this joint from front to back with the exception of "Ain't That Some shyt"...wish he would've left that off. I don't love "Trouble" either, but the rest of it i can listen to without hesitation.

This kid is special. His ability to put verses together fluidly, telling the whole story & killing it with his wordplay is something that doesn't happen with many dudes.

You can hear the influences on this (Nas, OutKast, Kanye, Tribe), and not just with the obvious tracks. Even the singles type of songs are really good. If that song with TLC is a single, i really hope it does well.

Only thing is i really wish he would upgrade those damn drums. The concepts of the beats are great, but if those drums would've been stepped up, it could've been that much better.

Listened through it twice and i wasn't feeling it the first time but 2nd got a little better. Hopefully it continues to grow on me. I wish it was more diverse, a lot of the songs are about girls but its definitely not as boring as cole world

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of hate in here. J.Cole drops a piff album and people are in here shamelessly hating.


Villematic, Rich nikkas, Let Nas Down, LAnd of the Snakes, Mo Money interlude, Trouble and Runaway are all dope as fukk.

J. Cole is the new Pac yall

 

[Cloud McFly]

This will definitely be my first cop since Kendrick.

The album is super dope, and I was still eating off both Truly Yours EP's, so he more than deserves it.

 

[B-Wonders]

Solid album; don't understand the hate. For the most part, beats are dope, and it's a cohesive album. 'Chaining Day', and 'Runaway' are my favorites so far. Here's my full take on the album: J. Cole - 'Born Sinner'

Great album. Cohesive with substance and entertaining throughout.

This shyt grew on me like crazy, it's all I've been listening to, aside from the other projects that have been leaking. Even though I like those projects, I just find myself continuing to go back to Born Sinner.

What nas song is that in the intro to let nas down, I think it's the reason I'm loving the song

I actually saw lupe do "nas is like" and "Hey" (in the middle of the barn) in 2006 ...
