album has a strong anti drug message and is a critique on the new cats int he game, it's a niche message.

his last album was about becoming a father, again a niche message.


2014 forest hills drive wasn't a niche album. it had much broader appeal and is probably his best album.

2014FHD was conceptual too about the narrator (Cole) humble beginnings and raise to fame and how he's dealing with it.

Same problem I had as his last album. I like a couple songs but overall the shyt is just boring man. :yeshrug:It's like he's trying to be like Kendrick with these deep, concept albums but he just can't do it as well as Kendrick. :francis:I kind of get it though, Cole is 33 and he's not the same dude as he was 7-8 or even 4 years ago. I respect the his evolution as a person but I'm just not feeling the music he's been putting out post FHD.

I've been a huge Cole fan since 09 and I always hated the "Nyquil, boring" jokes dudes always made about him on here but it's starting to ring true now. The music is just boring. I'll listen to it once to get the message but then I have no desire to ever listen to it again. :mjcry:
The last two albums dude has been rapping on the same slow and forgettable beats and boring flows. No energy at all. Where are the Apparently's? Fire Squad's? She Knows? God's Gifts? Rise and Shine's? Enchanted's? These new songs are just bland. Again, dude is in his 30s now, so his whole mindset and outlook on life has changed from back when he was on the come up and i respect that, but I'm just not feeling his music anymore and that shyt hurts. :to:
