Album is dope, his lyrical ability and content for his age is mind blowing.

 

[old boy]

i'm trying hard not to be a hypebeast because he still needs to refine his craft... but raw talent and all dunny a problem

broke as fukk =

 

[Smitty Belafonte]

This lil nikka is dope. I wasn’t expecting much goin in. I can bump this.

 

[old boy]

You can tell him and JCole frequented the same battle rap forums with all his horrible forced multis and shyt.

son on everything my cousin just said this same exact shyt over the weekend. cole world comparison and all. i disagreed vehemently but i enjoy opposing opinions

my cuz thinks he's trash rap, you too or do you see any potential here at all? what about his song structure & hook game?

 

[BK The Great]

This dude is 21 years old rapping about some real grown man shyt Just imagine him in 5-10 years from now what kind of deep content he will dig in.

 

[N.J.stan]

Very dope and unexpected album, I'll be checking for dude from now on

 

[Mortal1]

Anybody else feel like J.Cole's production style on RNP was trying to emulate what J Dilla did on Do You?

 

[Flight]

Obvious Cole influence but this is a good album from the youngin.

The RNP joint is my hype song now

It gives me 2000 mos def/talib blackstar vibes

 

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

This album is dope so far. Got down to the This Can't Be Life flip. Gotta finish when I get home

 

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

no YBN features

I see him branching off from them in the future...musically of course

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Cordae is the nicest one in YBN...needs to branch off and do his own thing. No disrespect to the rest.

Fam his hook game > his rapping. The kid definitely has potential tho.

I enjoyed the album for the most part. But his rhyme schemes most of the time are way too rigid and predictably structured. It sounds almost as if he sacrifices other parts of his verses to fit in the perfect multi. Once he breaks from that I think his verses will be more fluid and natural.
