i need to give these guys a proper chance. Just dont like the Outkast comparison i get when i read about them.

They influenced by OutKast heavy. And frankly I am cool with it.

I'm a fan, not a stan...I don't have to ride for a bullshyt album.

That's what you're doing right now and it's pitiful :dayum:

Not as pitiful as Drogas Light

Only listened to it once and it hasn't jumped out at me, I feel like it has the same slow, introspective vibe as 4YEO at some points. Just feels like it lacks any kind of energy.

I just wanna hear Cole spit over some hard drums again to be honest. I'll give this a few more spins before I form a proper opinion though.

I’m not going to front. I been a Cole fan since The Warm Up, but I am highly disappointed in this album. I’ll listen to it a few more times, but my initial feelings is it is super weak.

Second half of this album is fukkin amazing. I see what he is doing on the first half. Killin these current rappers flows.

But the content and production on the second half is dope as fukk.

i just listened to the jim jones album. i can't believe you nikkas said that was better than this

Off first listen his flow and cadence is sharp as ever. A lot of the American Dream type flows. Lyrically this is up there with his best work. Usual suspects hating on the album before 1am lol. Def better than 4YEO.

I really tried to get into this.....after multiple listens, it just doesnt do anything for me. Its been this way with all of his albums. There isnt any question he is talented....but he just doesnt have that "it" factor IMO.

It might help if he left production duties to others......as a producer, hes underwhelming to say the least.

and window pain is an amazing track.
