That’s cool man but last year they were all on some “y’all haven’t even heard the real heat yet” and “if you like this then y’all ain’t ready for what comes next” and people were getting hype thinking he had some big shyt in the vault only for the next release to be pretty much more of the same.

I ain’t mad about it but I’m not falling for that line anymore

Wait until you hear the real album... COTI 3 :troll:

Nah but fr I'm betting there were plans to spin the block last year after COTI1 but plans changed. It did seem like Banks had another project ready.

But they told me COTI is an album
It is technically because in this era the only difference is budget, sound and features (sometimes).

There are no more traditional mixtapes they just get dropped as albums these days. Only thing separating COTIs from his previous original music mixtapes is there are no major label artist features or un-clearable sampled beats.

Mixtape and album are interchangeable. It doesn’t matter what it is, it just needs be good enough to tour off of and do shows/merchandise.
I think the whole stupid back and forth about whether it’s a album or not is stupid and shows dudes are just bored haters tbh

So you just described why the coti releases are an album and not a mixtape? Got it.

Dont be like that goofy, Tunez. Please.

Like every artist, they go on different platforms to promote their albums when it drops. The host usually asks whats next, and Banks/any other artist says he has more shyt on the way.

I dont know why Banks seem to have such a goofy fanbase on the coli. It’s weird.

Banks says his project is an albums.
nikkas on the coli tells me its a mixtape.

Banks has used the same producers and gritty beat style probably for 15 years.
Coli nikkas tell me he needs better beats.

Yall want to hear future type beats from Banks. Go listen to Future rap about nothing spitting trash bars. At least you’ll be able to dance to the song like the fakkits some of yall act like :yeshrug:

Akademiks shaded Banks again on his latest Off The Record episode with Roy Woods. First time was last year when he criticized COTI 1 for sounding dated.

Roy Woods is signed to OVO, and Ak was comparing the amount of support 50 was giving the artists at G-Unit versus what Drake does for his artists, and how Drake seems completely uninvolved versus 50 making sure his artists go platinum.

Ak says "I dont wanna say a name, but when you see the type of music they just released, you really see they had no reason going 3x platinum back in the day"
Ak is a 31 year old pretending to be 22 with the perspective of one of these 16 year old Coli white chicks.

This is prime Banks. No point dropping CC3 if it isn't tracks from 2011-2015.

No one wants hear about your maturity, relationship or your kids my nikka

Bring back Blue Hefner :ohlawd:


We are all old now breh ( assuming you're in your late 30s or early 40s)


That playboy life stay is retired. Can't be like Fabolous

Fab still think he 33-35 :dead:. Saw him in the club before still living out his youth (collecting a check, no doubt)

It's clear Banks is more Joe Budden than Fab at this point in terms of content maturity.

I'm still in my 20s

I was fresh out of school when CC2 dropped and 3 still ain't out yet :mjcry:
Point taken.. What Banks failed to realize (it seems), when you take breaks like that you miss opportunities and leave some fans behind. The rest of us were ready for the jump in growth so I was happy if we got a CC3 (at the time), but also was happy to see the AON series.
