You'd have to know what good and bad production sounds like to understand. Your post is implying that there's no such thing as bad production

Liked it on first listen. Good album.

He cant give you a.legit answer because the production is good. He just is literally addicted 808s and synthesizers.

The production is weak on some songs and good on others.

For reference, listen to the production of Damn, 4:44, No Church on Sundays, Victory Lap, 4eva is a Mighty Long Time etc... Projects with excellent production and a longer run time except for 4:44

Nah, if you think KOD and Motiv8 are good beats you must not listen to much music at all

this doesn't really explain why the production is "bad" . all that this post does is tell me you prefer those albums' production more, which is a subjective opinion that you shouldn't be trying to pass off as facts.

Does this album have better production than those albums in your opinion?

Since music is subjective, it's better to provide context and reference as to why something isn't good from your perspective.

That's what I'm doing. I only mentioned relatively recent releases to compare. You understand now?

Album flows so well. nikka stomped on Lil Pumps head at the end

i would say all albums listed were well produced

i was expecting you to be more technical then just "i like this album more" since youre pushing your opinion as fact. there is absolutely some objectivity in music/production. but its ok if you don't like the album.

 

[Real N Quotes]

THEY SHOULD'VE NEVER LET YOU nikkaS HAVE TRAP BEATS AND DRILL MUSIC. IT HAS LITERALLY RUINED YALL EARS. SMH YALLL nikkaS LITERALLY ADDICTED TO 808s.

Dude I do not like trap, drill, edm or any of that fuk boy turn up weirdo music at all

I'm an head who used to bump Run DMC King of Rock on a boom box
I agree that Cole is a dope emcee but his beats are just


I get it, he stays in his zone and delivers his product as a complete artist

To each his own
