:camby: @ your opinion on Cole mixtapes and albums. This project is a solid 7.5 to 8 tho off 2 listens. Best mainstream release of the year.

the best mainstream release this year was YG My Krazy Life

Alright...too much singing for my taste. But the verses...whew. Jcole goes the fug in. Y'all really like the singing though? I mean when used sparingly it's piff but almost every track starts with him crooning. I became a fan of his based off his bars not his singing.

With that said adolescence03 was my fav track. That whole 'how you look up to me when I look up to you' part gave me chills. Pause. I gotta keep playing this before I reach a final verdict bc right now I'm still buttsore over the lack of just flexing songs

A few songs that bring the project down also. Still at times feels like he's trying to find himself, but the positives are encouraging.
